step v competition
divide the class into four groups. ask one student to say ten dates quickly. the others write them down. who writes down the most is the winner.
step vi presentation
show a picture on the screen (part 1, on page 63):
t: how many ss can you see in the picture?
ss: three.
t: what are they doing?
ss: they’re running.
t: yes, they’re running. we call it “race”. (have ss repeat it.) who is first / second / third?
ss: … (chinese is ok.)
t: the boy in a blue t-shirt is first.
the girl is second.
the boy in red shorts is third.
“in” here means “wearing”. we often use “in” like this:
the woman in black (= in black clothes) is his mother.
the girl is in red (= in red clothes.).
ss make up sentences like the examples above. then practise like this, using the picture on the screen or other pictures of stars:
s1: look! who is the girl?

s1: the girl in blue.
s2: she is li yuchun.
