does he have? S: He has the ability to play basketball very well. T: Let’s move on. What ability does the monkey have? S: It has the ability to ride a bike. T: What ability do the birds have? S: They have the ability to fly. 【设计意图：通过图片教学，引出单词ability，鼓励学生反复操练have the ability to do sth.，也为引出Comic strip的内容做好了铺垫。】

Step 2 Presentation

Free talk. T: Do you believe /bɪˈliːv/dogs have the ability to fly? What about Eddie? Do you believe he can fly like Superman? OK, let’s learn comic strip. 2. Listen and answer.

T: Read the dialogue in pairs and try to recite each sentence.

T: Work in pairs. One will play the role of Eddie, the other Hobo. Act the dialogue out. 【设计意图：利用图片导入对话，让学生准备一张纸，边听边写下答案，这样做可以确保学生集中注意力，而不是盲目地听信息。让学生参与角色扮演，帮助他们体会卡通人物的个性。】
