Step I Warming-up

Talk about animals.

T: Animals are our friends. We should learn to live together with animals. Many families now have pets at home. That is, human beings are living with animals. They are pet animals. What pet animals do you know? S: Cats, dogs, rabbits, etc.

T: Do any family keep tiger, lion, elephant, etc as pet animals? S: No.

T: Do you know why? S: Because they are dangerous.

S: Because they are too difficult to keep. …

T: Good. Just think about this: Where do these animals live? What do they eat? What’s their situation like? Do you know?

Encourage students to speak out what they have in mind.

S: We can only see them in the zoo. S: People kill them to make money.

S: We must protect them. …

T: Quite true. From now on, we are going to talk about animals in danger. (emphasize the phrase “in danger”). Now please look at activity 1 on page 72.

Ask students to complete the quiz with the words in the box, check the answers and then read each word twice loudly.

Step II Listening and reading Listening

First ask students to read the questions in activity 2 and get them to take notes while listening.

Then listen and check the answers.

Ask students to read after the tape first. Work in pairs and read the passage repeatedly .Ask students to find out the infinitive structures in the conversation and read them together.

Step IV Speaking Pronunciation

T: In English, a sentence can be divided into several parts or groups. When we read these sentences, we can often pause between these groups. Now listen to and repeat the sentences in activity 6.

Speaking

Ask students to work in pairs. Ask and answer the questions in activity

T: Whales are large animals in the sea. Some whales can weigh 160 ton. They are really frightening. But are you surprised to find out that whales are in danger? Why do some animals have no place to live in? …

Now work in pairs and discuss the questions in activity 7.

Sample conversation: S: I learned about whales when I was very young. They are very large animals. I thought human beings are afraid of such animals.

S: But now whales are in danger too. It’s surprising! S: Whales are hunted for meat and skin. They have no place to live in.

S: I think it’s because human beings destroyed or polluted their living places.

S: I agree. I think it’s cruel for human beings to kill animals for their meat.

S: I don’t think so. If we don’t eat animals, what to eat? S: We can eat vegetables and fruits. Most people do so now.

S: I can’t agree. I think some animals are for eating.

S: Till now, many animals have become endangered or extinct. Most people want to help animals in danger. And I would like to find out more about animals in danger.

S: Me, too. Let’s try to do something to protect these animals.

Then ask them to work with a partner and talk about the animals in Activity 1 and then report the discussion results.
