This activity introduces the key vocabulary.

Write the key vocabulary words on the blackboard.

belong v.

Belong means to be owned by somebody.

An author is a writer of a book or a play.

A picnic is a meal eaten out of doors.

Then invite two students to draw a plate next to the word plate and a toy car next to toy.

Focus attention on the picture. Have students point to each item and say its name. Call students attention to the chart with the headlines clothing. Fun things and kitchen things at the top. Invite different students to explain the meanings of the column heads.

Step Ⅲ lb

This activity gives students practice in understanding the target language in spoken conversation.

Call students’ attention to the chart. Set a time limit of two minutes. Students read the persons, the things and the reasons.

Say, You will hear a conversation. As you listen, draw lines to connect the person in the first column with the thing in the second column. Then draw another line to connect the thing in the second line with the reason in the third column.

Point out the sample answer. Say, The name Carla in the first column connects to volleyball in the second column because that’s the thing they are talking about. And the word volleyball in the second column connects with the sentence she loves volleyball in the third column.
