To enable Ss to use what they’ve learned in daily communication by focusing on listening, speaking and writing. Teaching Procedures: Step1. Get Ss prepared well for the coming listening task by revision. Step2. Ss are asked to the tape and circle those aids early sailors used to find their way. And, the teacher checks answers. Step3. A more demanding task, namely, listen while fill in the chart are designed to check Ss listening comprehension. Step4. Ss listen to the tape for the third time, in which they are supposed to pay attention to how the sailing strategies are expressed getting prepared for speaking. Step5. Speaking. Ss are to explain sailing strategies in your own words and explain what some old sayings mean according to your understanding. Step 6.

Write down all the ideas step2). Number the ideas in a logical order step3). Each paragraph expresses one reason step4). Emphasize the most important reason and make a conclusion
