Lesson 47
Step 1 Revision
1 Check the homework.
2 Revise the story in Lesson 46. Use the questions in Wb Lesson 46， Ex. 1 to guide the Ss.
Step 2 Reading
SB page 47， Part 1. Give the Ss a few moments to read the story （to refresh their memories）， then ask some questions， e.g.：
Why did Ling Feng come to Jim's house？
What did Jim give Ling Feng？
What did Ling Feng say to Jim？
What did Polly say to Jim？
Discuss any difficulties that arise in the story. Make sure the Ss understand the meaning of You haven't changed your mind， have you？
Note that arrive is followed by in when it is used with a big city or an even bigger place.
SB page 47， Part 1. Speech Cassette Lesson 47. Play the tape for the Ss to listen and repeat. Get the Ss to practise the dialogue parts in groups of three （Ling Feng， Jim and Polly）。 Ask some groups to act it out.
Step 3 Presentation
Ask the class some general questions， like these： What time is it？ What's the weather like？ What date is it today？ What day is it？ etc. Help them to answer.Ask the Ss What questions did I ask you？ Make a list on the Bb.
Then say Listen carefully. I'm going to ask these questions in a different way. Do you know what time it is？ ——Yes， it's … Repeat for all the questions on the Bb： Do you know what the weather is like？ Do you know what date it is today？ （Answer in the same way each time， using Yes， it's …）
Now ask the Ss What questions did I ask？ Help them to say Do you know what time it is？ etc. Point out the word order in the clause what time it is.
Write the questions on the Bb （with the Ss' help） to compare the two question forms.
Inform the Ss that they can use Can you tell me what time it is？ as well.
Get the Ss to practise asking and answering these questions in pairs.
Step 4 Ask and answer
SB page 47， Part 2. Read through the information in the box with the Ss： see if they can guess the meaning of Flight No. （Number ）。 Use Chinese if necessary. Get the Ss to ask and answer in pairs， then check the answers with the whole class.
Note：
CA = China Airline
BA = British Airways
Step 5 Practice
SB page 47， Part 3. Do the first dialogue with the whole class. Practise it with individual Ss. Then let the Ss prepare the other dialogues in pairs and practise acting them out.
See if any pairs can do the dialogues without using their books！
Step 6 Workbook
Wb Lesson 47， Exx. 1 and 2.
Do Ex. 1 orally with the whole class： Make sure the Ss give correct answers. Get Ss on one side the classroom to ask Ss on the other side a question. You can monitor the dialogue to make sure the question and answer are correct.
The dialogue in Ex. 2 can be practised in pairs. Get some pairs to act it out. See if any pairs can make up a new dialogue based on this model.
Ex. 3 is optional. If time permits， get the Ss to ask and answer the questions in pairs.
