died [設計說明]第一個回答問題的環節中，第5個問題的難度較大，第6個問題需要學生自己組織語言，只需答出要點即可。在完成時間軸之前，先進行討論，可以降低第三個環節的難度。同時引導學生注意，介紹人物可以以時間為線索。如果學生的口語表達能力比較強，還可以在聽力訓練完成后，請學生用英語簡單介紹盲文的創始人路易斯·布萊爾的情況。 step 3 listening t：we've got some information about braille and known how the blind read.if the blind go out，the guide dog can help a lot.now let's enter another listening on page 46. 1.listen to the whole tape for the first time.then write down the main idea of the listening. suggested answer： the main idea of this listening is to show how a guide dog is trained and its usefulness to its owner. 2.listen to part 1 again and fill in the following table.then answer the questions.
