- Then the T can show some schedules and pre-teach some expressions about frequency.
| | Step 2 Presentation & Practice
| | - Before listening , the T can ask Ss to look at the picture in 2a and read the expressions in the chart. Then discuss the following questions to make predictions about the listening material so that they can prepare for the following listening tasks:
- Who’s asking questions in the conversation? And who’s answering
- The activity is to give Ss listening practice with the target language. At the beginning, the T play the recording for the first time and make Ss to finish the task in 2a. Remind them to pay attention to Cheng Tao’s activities and invite some Ss to share their answers.
- The activity is to give Ss practice in listening for specific items in conversations. In order to make the activity more challenging, the T may want to do this :
- Play the recording, and have Ss take notes (with textbooks closed).
- Have Ss check their notes with a partner.
- Have Ss open their textbooks and do the activity, referring to their notes only.
- Play the recording again to give Ss a chance to check their answers.
- At last the T can check answers by having conversations with Ss. Remind Ss to say full sentences.
- T: How often does Cheng Tao watch TV?
- S: He watches TV twice a week.

- Express interest in what the other person is saying.
- Ask follow up questions based on the other person’s answers.
- Not only answer questions but also ask questions. An easy way to do this is modeled in the recording for activity 1b: answer the question then say How about you?
- Ss can be asked to read the model conversation in 2c in chorus. The T can pay attention to their pronunciation and intonation. Then T
- the T can ask Ss to finish the chart in 2c individually and then make

- 1. Is Claire free next week? Why?
- 2. How often does Claire have dance lessons? How about piano lessons?
- 3. What kind of dance is Claire learning?
- 4. What does Jack invite Claire to do? When can Claire join Jack for the activity?

Ss can be asked to make sentences using the key structure and phrases.Then the T can make Ss read the conversation in chorus to check their pronunciation and intonation. At last the T can invite some Ss to role-play the conversation as open pairs.

| | Teaching Reflection
| - In the process of listening, students can be reminded to use some non- listening factors to assist understanding and improve listening efficiency. These means include: (1) Observation and judgment of pictures and scenes; (2) Use the written clues given in listening activities; (3) Judge the identity of the subject characters, and then predict their language behavior and language content. It is an important listening strategy to use non listening factors to assist comprehension, and the training of listening skills is to decide what specific approach to take according to different listening tasks.
