we are always together in our hearts

step 1 warm-up
t: let’s play a guessing game, ok? you will see 6 sentences describing a person on the tv screen. if you can guess who she is after you read the first sentence, you will get 10 points. after the second sentence you can get 8 points. but after the last sentence you’ll get a zero. does it make sense?
ss find out the answer without much difficulty.
t: it’s easy, right? you have remembered the three friends’ appearances and the words to describe them. now let’s have a look at these words again.
step 2 presentation
1. t: look! here is a table. when we describe people’s appearances, we usually talk about these different parts: build, height, leg and hair including the style and length.
teach “build” and “height”.
t: now please put the words into the table.
2. t: as the first guessing game is so easy, shall we play once more?
ss: ok.
ss fail to find out who she is.
t: haha, it’s me! why is it not so easy this time? because you haven’t learnt this before and the information i gave you is not enough. we need to learn more to describe people’s appearances, right?
ss look at the pictures and learn more words to describe appearance. they try to find out what the words are used for--- build, height, etc.
step 3 practice
1. ss do part a, p11.
2. ss find out more to describe--- eyes, face, etc.
3. ss describe the people in the pictures with the words they have just learnt and each time there’s something new added in.
step 4 presentation
1. t: you’ve just described the appearances of a little girl, a pop singer, a sports star and a classmate of yours. what do you think of them?
