Step 1 Revision

1 Check the homework .

Step 2 Revision

Revise the different responses to suggestions： Good idea! OK! All right! Practise, by saying Let's go shopping! or Shall we go to the zoo? to Ss and getting them to respond.

Then get the Ss to make a counter-proposal： No, let's go to Zhongshan Park .

Pairwork: get the Ss to make up dialogues in this pattern:

A： Shall we go to the zoo?

B： No, let's go to Zhongshan Park!

A： OK! .

Get some pair to perform their dialogues .

Step 3 Reading

SB page 23, Part 1. Do the first as an example, then let the Ss complete the exercise alone. They check the answers in pairs, then with the whole class. Note that at a quarter to is short for at a quarter to ten.

For some questions there may be alternative answers, e.g. Shall we have supper at six?.

The answer could be Good idea! or No, let's make it half past.

Step 4 Read and act

SB page 23, Part 2. Speech Cassette .

Ask What can you, see in the picture? Teach This boat looks like a duck. This one looks like a chicken, pointing to the appropriate boats. Ask Do they go in a boat? Let the Ss read the dialogue quickly to find the answer.

Play the tape for the Ss to listen and repeat.

Ask comprehension questions, such as Are English people good at boating? What do the boats look like? Then ask some Ss Are you good at boating? What are you good at?

Let the Ss practise the dialogue in pairs in the usual way, and then ask some pairs to act it out dramatically.
