(Ss may have different answers.) T: OK. Now, please turn to Page 18 and look at the sample dialogue in Speaking and some useful expressions on Page 19. They're useful when you are making your dialogue expressing preferences. Read them carefully and then make a dialogue with your partner. (A moment later, ask some students to act out their dialogues.) Sample dialogue: A: Do you prefer classical chairs or do you like modern chairs better? B: I'd rather have modern chairs. A: Can you tell me why? B: In my opinion, modern chairs are lighter and more colorful. ] don't like the hard wooden chairs which I think are uncomfortable. A: I really prefer classical chairs. I like seeing something old and classical and I like the different designs of the chairs. Step III Preparation for Listening T: OK. We've talked much about art and architecture. And we also designed our own dream houses. Now, imagine that you're moving into your new house, but you need to buy some furniture. What kind of furniture would you like to buy and why do you prefer them? Have a short discussion in pairs, please. (Allow the students a few minutes to prepare for the dialogue and ask one or two pairs to act out if time permits. ) Step IV Listening T: Well done. Now, we'll do some listening practice. You'll listen to a talk between Amy and Danny. They want to buy some furniture for their new house. They visit a shop and talk with the sales assistant about their taste and preferences. Before we listen to the tape, let’s go through the requirements together. (Help Ss to know what to do and make them guess the answers. ) T: OK. Now, you've known what to do. Listen carefully and finish the exercises by yourself first and then cheek your answers with your partner. (Play the tape twice for Ss to listen and finish the exercises and then play it a third time for students to check their answers. At last cheek the answers with the whole class. ) (责任编辑:admin) |
