Give the Ss a few minutes to talk about the reason in order to start the new lesson.

2. New lesson

Step 1: lead in

T: Do you like watching TV? I like some programs very much. For examples, “Talking Straight” (shihua shishuo ) and “Sons and Daughters of the East” (dongfang zhi zi). Do you like them? The project you are going to do is to interview each other. You can ask your classmates many questions just like the hosts or hostess do in the TV programs, such as Wang Xiaoya, Li yong and so on. Of course, you have to use English! But it’s fun! I’m sure you will like it.

Step 2: Listen and find use information

T: Listen to the tape please and find the answer of this question: Who does Danny want to interview?

(show the rubber dinosaur and draw some “tears” on its face)

T: These are Danny’s tears. Do you like dinosaurs? (Yes!) but Danny is unhappy now. Do you want to know the reason? Read the text on Page 4 with the title of “She’s so Beautiful!”

Step 3: Read and discuss

After the Ss read the text fast and silently, let the Ss discuss the following question:

Why is Danny scared? ( Because he wants to talk to Sandra)

Do you think Danny and Sandra will become good friends? Why? (Yes, they will become good friends. Because girls like dinosaurs and they have a nice talk to each other)

What is Sandra like? (She’s beautiful.)

Check the answers with the whole class.

Step 4: Further reading and further discussion
