Ⅰ. Warming-up and lead-in

Ⅱ. Presentation 1. Ask them to talk with their partners about the animals they like using the words they know (Four students a group). —What animals do you like?

—Why do you like…

—Because they’re…

2. Then show the class some pictures of animals and present other animals. And ask them:

What’s this in English?

It's a tiger. (Then lion, panda, elephant, koala, giraffe)

Ss look at the picture and try to remember the new words of the animals.

3. Next, glue the pictures on the blackboard and ask one student to match the pictures with the words on the cards. Other students turn to page 25 and finish 1a. 4. Check the answers with the class.

Ⅲ. Tell what animal it is.

T: Show some pictures on the big screen. Let Ss tell what animal it is.

Ss try to guess and remember the names of the animals.

Ⅳ. Listening

Work on 1b.

Play the recording again and check the answers with the class.

Ⅴ. Pair work

1. Ask the students to imagine “We are in the zoo, there are many kinds of animals here.”

Then ask a student to do the model with you: —

Let’s see the lions first.

ⅦI. Language points

1. Why don’t you like the cat?

Why don’t you+动词原形，还是一种提建议的句型。

意为“为什么不……呢？”

“Why don’t you + 动词原形”? 的同义句可以说：

Let’s …

吧。

2. He can walk on two legs.

walk on… 表示“用某种方式行走”。

3. Well, because she’s kind of boring.

kind of有几分……

相当于一个副词，后面多跟形容词

。

e.g. They’re kind of scary. 他们有点可怕。

The pandas are kind of cute. 熊猫有点可爱。

【拓展】

kind作名词意为“种类”

a kind of …

一种……

e.g. What kind of bread do you like? 你喜欢哪种面包？

kind还可构成短语all kinds of ...，意为“各种各样的”。

e.g. My grandpa has all kinds of stamps. 我爷爷有各种各样的邮票。
