Give more examples on "remind sb. of sth./sb. ",such as, He reminds me of his brother. This reminds us of what we often did when we were children. Tell the students that remind…of…means cause sb. to think of sth.

Write the four questions on the blackboard.

　(1)What’s the name of your favourite CD?
