Teaching Procedures Tips
Step 1 Warming up
Show the pictures on PPT P6 and P7 to Ss. Ask them to guess
why the boy or man is running.
(Tip: Tell them that they can use modal verbs to make predictions.)
Step 2 Presentation & Practice
Pre-listening
Show the second picture in 1a and ask Ss to think about the
questions:
1. Why do you think the man is running?
2. What could be running after him?
1a
In small groups of three or four, get Ss to discuss what they see
in the pictures and explain why they think so.
1(Tip: T can consider discussing the pictures with the Ss first before
asking them to attempt the activity: Picture a shows an UFO
landing on the ground. Picture b shows an alien with three legs and
antenna chasing after a man in a suit, his hat almost flying off. The
last picture shows the same man running towards the corner of a
building, and looking back over his shoulder as if looking out for
something.)
Suggested answers: a. A UFO is landing. b. An alien is running
after the man. c. The man is looking back while running.
Ask Ss if the three pictures were from the same story, which
one might come first and why.
1b
After playing the recording, ask Ss to write sentences for this
activity.
Answers: a. 2 b. 3 c. 1
Suggested answers: A woman is filming with a camera. They are making
a movie.
1c
Ask Ss how much they remember about who said what. Ask Ss
to try filling in the blanks based on what they can remember
before playing the recording again and getting them to fill in
the blanks again. Check to see how much they did remember.
Answers:
2Post-listening
1d
In pairs, get Ss to write two conversations. The first should use
only the information of what the man says, the second should
use only the information of what the woman says, and vice
versa. Ss should role-play their conversations once they finish
writing.
Step 3 Language points learning
land 与 fall 的区别是：land 指有目的地、主观性地着陆、降落。land
in“降落”，反义词是 take off (起飞)。fall 指从高处向低处自由降
落，不带有主观性。
suit与fit的区别是：suit多指样式、花色合适或指合乎某种条件（强
调主观）；fit多指衣服的尺码、大小、形状合适(强调客观)。
Step 4 Summary & Homework
Summary
Ask Ss to do the exercises on PPT from P21-23.
Homework:
Preview 2a-2e in Section B.
Do the exercises in students’ book.
Teaching In this period, the students should try to expand the topic and practice more
Reflection in listening and speaking. They will improve their capacity of language
3organization to make inferences by using “could / might be doing”．Oral
output is important. So we give them chance to say out more. When they
are practicing the conversation, get them to make their own imagination
and practice with their own words.
