Step 3 Reading
Tell the Ss to read the story again more slowly， but not to worry about new words.
Wb Lesson 22， Ex， 1. Ss work in pairs answering the questions. They should make a note of their answers. Check the answers with the whole class. Go through the new words. See if the Ss can guess their meaning， using the information from nearby sentences to help them.
E.g. Ss can guess the meaning of strict， because Miss Yang tells the children always to return their books on time. Explain the meaning of politely and What a pity！ in Chinese. Point out that everywhere is a compound word and that helpful is used to describe a person who is always ready to help people. The word return means to give back.
