step ii  lead-in
t: everyone has good friends. maybe one or more, a good friend lasts a lifetime. how will you choose someone to be your good friend?
s1: in my life, i consider friendship the most important. sometimes i think i am shy. but i eagerly want to make friend with the others. in my heart, i think age, appearance and so on are not very important. the most important, i think, is a true heart.
t: yes. good. a true heart is the most precious. i have many friends. they are very important for me. when my mood was down, they always help me. now, let's have a discussion. in pairs discuss what kind of person will make a good friend. look at these phrases that describe a person's position, appearance and behavior.  put them in order. the most important should come first. join another pair and compare your ideas. discuss any differences you discover.  remember to give your reasons so that you can convince the other pair that your ideas are right. make a new list that you all agree on.
let students have a class discussion and make a list of three or four most important things and decide whether they will choose somebody to be a friend or not.
s1: in my opinion, the order should be: how friendly he/she is, how he/she behaves, what the person says, the person's accent, what clothes the person wears, the person's social status.
s2: i think the most important is his or her character. because as the saying goes, "a leopard can not change its spots." (江山易改，本性難移)
s3: i think the most important is his or her accent. if he or she has an accent,   maybe you won't understand what he or she says.
t: excellent. do you judge people by their appearance? have you ever made a mistake in judging people? what made you change your mind later?
s4: no. i don't judge people by their appearance. i have made a mistake in judging people. but at last her talents made me change my mind.
