Listening text
Miss Yang knows her library very well. She can find any books very quickly. She also knows what kinds of books the students like. I asked her about some of the students in Class 3.
“They are very different. They all like quite different kinds of books. For example, Jim likes story-books. But Li Lei is quite different. He likes reading science books. Some of the girls like science books, too. For example, Wei Hua likes reading science books also. But Han Meimei likes books about art.”
Step 3 Stress
Wb Lesson 24, Ex. 2. Speech Cassette Lesson 24.Play the tape for the Ss to listen and repeat. Pay attention to their stress.
Step 4 Practice
SB page 24, Part 2. Books closed! Revise Have you got…? by asking about classroom objects. Then books open. Read through the first dialogue with the Ss. Practice it with individual Ss, changing the subject each time (science /maths /English , etc)。
Revise the meaning and formation of Have you got…?
For the second dialogue, point out the use of the Simple Past Tense. We use this for a single completed action in the past yesterday. We could also use the Present Perfect Tense if the action occurred a few moments ago. We may say Yes, she/he has just returned it.
Get the Ss to practice this dialogue using different items.
Step 5 Checkpoint 6
Go through Checkpoint 6 and discuss any problems that arise. Practice the“useful expressions” and make sure the Ss understand the meaning and usage of these expressions.
Step 6 Test
Verb form test. Get the Ss to draw three columns, headed Verb, Past Tense and Past Participle. Dictate the following verbs, which the Ss write in the first column. They have to fill in the other columns. For instance, you say“ask”; Ss write down ask, asked, asked.
1 pay 2 travel 3 eat 4 lose
5 find 6 see 7 do 8 return
9 forget 10 come
Now ask the Ss to make up a two-line dialogue for each of the first 5 verbs using the Present Perfect Tense.
