Step 2 Listening
SB page 16， Part 1. Listening Cassette
Lesson 16. Wb Lesson 16， Ex. 1. Make sure the Ss understand what to do. Play the tape through once. Then play it again， pausing after any important information to give the Ss a chance to write down the answers. Let them check their answers in pairs. Play the tape again if there are any arguments. Check the answers with the whole class.

Ask the Ss in Chinese： Who don't you believe？ Why？
Step 3 Read and say
SB page 16， Part 2. Read through the words in the boxes with the Ss. You can play a game， like this：
S1 （Policeman）： What were you doing at ten o'clock yesterday morning？
S2： I was working in the hospital.
S1： Are you a doctor？
S2： Yes， I am.
See if the policeman can guess the job correctly each time！ Ss can play this game in pairs.
Then， Ss can make up dialogues like the one at the end of Part 2.
Step 4 Stress and intonation
Wb Lesson 16， Ex. 2. Speech Cassette
Lesson 16. Remind the Ss that we pause at the end of a clause when we are saying a long sentence. Notice， too， that our voice goes up at the end of a yes/no question and down at the end of most statements. Play the tape for the Ss to listen and repeat. Pay attention to their intonation. Practise the sentences several times if necessary.
Step 5 Checkpoint 4
Go through Checkpoint 4 with the Ss and discuss any problems that arise. Practise the “useful expressions” Make sure the Ss understand the meaning of these expressions and when to use them.
Step 6 Test

1 What were you doing at nine o'clock last night？
