Lesson 30
Step 1 Revision
1 Books closed！ Talk about West Hill Farm： How many pigs have they got？ etc. Get the Ss to ask and answer questions.
2 Ask pairs of Ss to act out the dialogue that they learnt for homework. Make sure they face each other as they speak. Get them to use gestures and facial expressions.
Step 2 Presentation
Revise this dialogue：
A： Could I borrow a pen； please？
B： Certainly. Here you are.
A： Thank you.
Repeat with other classroom objects. Get the Ss to practise the dialogue
Teach the word lend： He/ She has just lent me a pen. etc.
Give more examples to show the difference between lend and borrow. For example. I borrowed a bike from Wang Hai. Wang Hai lent me a bike.
Step 3 Reading
SB page 30 Tell the Ss Today we are going to read a play. It is a story about a farmer. The farmer wants to borrow a pan. Does anyone know what a pan is？ Look at the picture in your books. Can you see a pan in this picture？ Why does he need to borrow a pan？ Read Part 1 and tell me the answer. （His pan has just broken.）
Speech Cassette Lesson 30. Play the tape for the Ss to listen and repeat， then let them practise the dialogue in pairs.
Step 4 Presentation
Go through each part of the play in the same way. Ask a pre-reading question and then let the Ss find the answer. Part 2： What did the farmer say about the small pan？ Part 3： Why did the farmer want to borrow the pan from the woman again？ Part 4： Why did the man say “The pan is dead”？ （The answer is： He was joking. Or it was only a joke.）
Then play the tape for the Ss to listen and repeat.
Explain any difficult points that arise：
hear of = know， learn about
I hope everything goes well. = I hope you have a good time.
Help the Ss to guess the meaning of as soon as， die， dead and other new words from the context. Give a few more examples to show the meaning of the new words and expressons. For instance， I'll come as soon as I can. We'll finish our work as soon as we can.
Step 5 Acting
Let the Ss practise the whole play in pairs for a few moments Then invite a pair to act out the play in front of the class. They can look at their books when they are not speaking， but when they speak， they should look at their partner. Encourage the actors to use gestures and facial expressions
