step iii  taiking (若時間不足，可改為作業)
make up stories by putting forward questions first.
t: so far, you’ve done very well. but we have something more to do. let’s go through the instructions first on page 151 in talkng...i suggest before you make up a story, you should put forward some questions. and then you can do the task easily. take no.1 picture for example.
 (project the questions on the screen.)
 look at the screen. you may read the following questions on it:
    why is she holding the flowers?
    is she waiting for someone?
    where is she?
    what’s she thinking about?
(after they finish the task)
hi, boys and girls. who want to tell us your story?
sa: i’ll tell you a story about picture four. after robinson’s boat and his men were lost at sea, he was drifted to a lonely island. he didn’t speak for a long time, for there was no human being on the island. he didn’t know how long he had been on the island. one day when he was looking for some fresh water, he saw many seagulls were flying over the sea. this sight made him very homesick, so he put down his two wooden buckets and sat on the sands looking over the endless sea. how he wished to see a human! how he wished to put the lonely life to an end!
sb: here is a story about picture 3. susan was a beautiful little girl, aged six. she was the only girl of the blacks and they loved her very much. but unfortunately she    suffered a serious illness. it was fall and the whether was becoming colder and colder. she could see the leaves falling from a tall tree through the window.
