Step 1 Revision
1 Revise the names of foods and drinks. Practise using eat and drink. Say For breakfast I drink 2 glasses of milk. For lunch I eat a bowl of rice and for supper I eat some meat. Ask: What do you have for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Write the question on the Bb. In pairs have the students answer this question.
2 Revise What would you like? Would you like some bread? etc.
3 Revise How many apples can you see? etc.
4 Check Homework.
Step 2 Spelling and pronunciation
SB Page 14, Part 1, Speech Cassette Lesson 76 (Phonic Reading Work). Books closed. Follow the same steps as in Lesson 68, Steps 2-3, in the TB. Use flashcards rather than going straight to the book.
Note: When pronouncing the words fourteen and forty it is important to make sure the students pronounce the /n/ at the end of fourteen and the /i/ at the end of forty. Also, for many English speakers, especially Americans, the /t/ in forty is pronounced as a /d/ such as /fordi/. This is the same for all the numbers ending with -ty except for the number twenty.
Step 3 Practice
Practise the difference between -teen and -ty. Write two columns on the Bb as follows:
Ⅰ Ⅱ
13 30
14 40
15 50
16 60
17 70
18 80
19 90
Say a number (e.g. 16）. The students should hold up one finger (because 16 is in column one). Repeat with other numbers, then get the students to work in pairs.
Step 4 Sentence stress
SB Page 14, Part 2, Speech Cassette Lesson 76. Books closed. Tell the students to listen for the stresses. Play the tape. Then play it again and get students to repeat, showing the stress with a gesture. Practise as much as necessary. Point that only key words are stressed. (See Appendix in TB 1 A, Page 159.)
Step 5 Listening
SB Page 14, Part 3, Listening Cassette Lesson 76. Wb Lesson 76 Ex: 2. Have the students read the questions before you play the tape. Check the answers orally.

Step 7 Read and act
1 SB Lesson 76, Part 5*. Teach the phrase order food. Ask and write this question on the Bb. What do Lucy and Lily order to eat? Say Please listen. Play the tape. Check for the correct answer (a hamburger, potato chips and ice cream). Read the dialogue aloud together after the recording.
2 Divide the class into groups of four and have the students practise and act out the dialogue. Instruct the students that the “man” is the waiter in a restaurant.
Step 8 Read and write
Note: Skimming is a reading strategy that you use to read over something quickly to get the main idea about what the passage, story or book is about. When skimming a short passage, the students should only read the first couple of sentences, a sentence in the middle of the passage and the last sentence. When reading the sentence, they dont need to read all the words, just the words that carry the meaning.
1 SB Lesson 76, Part 6 *. This first step is a silent reading activity, that will help your students with the reading. strategy of skimming. Have the students use this passage to practise skimming. First explain skimming in Chinese. Tell the students that skimming will help them to read faster. When they read, they are to only look for the main idea, and are not to read every word. They should skip over “little” words such as a, and, the, etc. because these words do not carry the main idea of the text. Say Lets skim this passage. Start to read when I say “Go. ” Stop reading when I say “Stop. ” OK, go. Give the students one minute to skim. Ask What is the passage about? (Mike, and what he eats in China. - Answers may vary, but as long as the students get the main idea, the answer is OK.)
