Step Ⅰ Revision Check homework. Get some pairs to act out their conversations. When they work, the rest of students also guess what animals they are talking about. Step Ⅱ 2a This activity provides guided listening practice using the target language. Look at the picture. Ask, What can you see in the picture? (A manatee is in the water.) Go through the instructions with the class. You will hear two people talking about manatees. Listen and draw a line between each word and its definition. Read the sample answer. Then say, The word endangered means there aren’t very many of this animal left in the world. The manatee is endangered because there aren’t very many of these animals. Play the recording for students the first time. This time students only listen to the recording carefully. Play the recording a second time. This time students draw lines between each word and its definition. Check the answers with the class. Answers1. b 2. d 3. a 4. c Tapescript Boy : Can you tell us about the manatees, please? Man : Sure. We’re trying to save them. Boy : Why? Are they endangered? Man : Yes. There used to be a lot of manatees, but now there aren’t very many of them. Boy : Do you know how many there are? Man : At this point, there are only about 2 500 in the U. S. In 1972, it was discovered that they were endangered. Since then, the government has passed laws to protect them. Boy : Where do they live? Man : Their favorite habitat is the water under the trees in mangrove swamps. Boy : And why are they endangered? Man : Some of the swamps have become polluted. Also, there sometimes isn’t enough food for all of them. As you can see, they’re large. The average manatee is about three meters long and weighs about 1 000 pounds. They need about 100 pounds of aquatic feed a day. Boy: Aquatic feed? Man: Oh, that’s underwater plants and vegetation. That’s what they eat. Step Ⅲ 2b This activity provides listening practice u-sing the target language. Go through the instructions with the class. Look at the headings in the chart and the blanks next to each heading. You will hear the same recording again. This time listen carefully to what both people say and fill in the blanks in the chart. Look at the sample answer. The two people on the recording are talking about manatees, so you write the word manatee after the words kind of animal in the chart. Play the recording again. Get students to fill in the blanks in the chart. Check the answers with the class. Answers Kind of animal: manatee Numbers: 2 500 in the U. S. Habitat: water under trees in mangrove swamps Reason why they are endangered: swamps polluted, not enough food Description : large, three metres long, weighs 1 000 pounds Step IV 2c This activity provides guided oral practice using the target language. Look at the sample conversation in the box. Invite a pair of students to read it to the class. SA : How big are manatees? SB : They’re about l0 feet long and they weigh about 1 000 pounds. Read the instructions aloud to the class. Each pair of students can make a conversation using information from Activities 2a and 2b. Let students work in pairs. While they are working, move around the classroom, checking the progress of the pairs and offering help as needed. When students finish the work, ask one or two pairs to say their conversations to the class. Conversation 1 SA: Where do manatees live? SB: They live in the water under the trees in mangrove swamps. Conversation 2 SA : Why are manatees endangered? SB : Because some swamps have been polluted. And there isn’t enough food for all the manatees, either. Step Ⅴ Grammar Focus Look at the grammar focus box. Invite five students to read the statements to the class. We’re trying to save the manages. Manatees eat about 100 pounds of food a day. There used to be a lot of manatees. In 1972, it was discovered that they were endangered. Some of the swamps have become polluted. Put the class in five groups and ask each group to become "experts" in one of the verb tenses and presents a review of that tense to the rest of the class. Have the students explain what the verb tense is used for and then give some sample sentences. Students can look back at the units where their verb tense was presented or practiced. Present progressive: Reviewed throughout the book. Present: Reviewed throughout the book Past with used to: Unit 4 Passive voice: Unit 10 Present perfect: Unit 14 While the groups are working, walk around the classroom helping the students with their explanations and their sample sentences. Ask one student of each group to show their work. As the students show their work, ask questions and correct any errors in their explanations or sentences. (1) Present progressive: One form of the verbs that express action that continues over a period of time, also called Present continues tense. The structure is am/is/are+ -ing. For example: He is reading a story book. (2) Present: It is used for indicating action that is usual and habitual. The form of the verb is do or does. For example: I go to school by bike. She does her homework every day. (3)Past with used to: The structure of used to + inf. indicates a constant or-frequent practice in the past. For example: I used to go swimming when I was a child. (4)Passive voice: The form of the verb is be + p.p in the sentence. For example: Our classroom is cleaned every day. (5) Present Perfect: The from of the verb is have/has + p. p For example: I have already finished my homework. Step Ⅵ Summary In this class, we’ve learned some important words, such as endangered, mangrove swamps, habitat, aquatic feed. We’ve also learned the target language How big are manatees? They’ve about 10 feet long and they weigh about 1 000 pounds. At last, we reviewed some grammar we have learned. Step Ⅶ Homework 查看更多

Which day is the most important for you? Your birthday, the first day of your work or the day you win a prize. Many teenagers may think their birthday is the happiest time because they can receive many wonderful presents and have much fun with their friends. Others may regard the starting day of their work as the most meaningful. They think it's the first big step in their life and they can depend on themselves. They like to deal with challenges rather than to ask for the help of adults.
According to a survey, more than half of the Chinese people, certain ages and birthdays are especially important. One hundred days after a baby's birth has special meaning. On that day, relatives(亲戚) and friends come to bless the baby. In northern part of China, like Inner Mongolia, a child's 12th birthday is a big day. This is when a child becomes a teenager. Eighteen is another important age, which means you must be responsible(负责任的) for what you have done in laws. As for adults, maybe the anniversary of their marriage(结婚周年庆) is the most important. For some old people, the 60th or 70th birthday is also very important. They like to be cared about by all his family and friends, and the big family get-together can provide them a good chance to recall(回忆) the past.
