1. Enjoy a video. T: My husband loves dogs. He says that dogs can do many tricks. They are very clever. Let’s enjoy a video.

2. New words and expressions. T: He likes dogs because they are very clever. They can hide themselves. They can hunt. His pet dog even can find a stick and help him build a camp.

T: Sadly, I am afraid of dogs. They often bark at me. When a dog opens its mouth wide, I’m afraid that it’ll bite me. And I often see them fight. T: However, my husband thinks dogs the cleverest animal of all. They don’t need much. They only need a gentle touch. He says he’ll look after his dog till the end. What can I do? Step 3 Reading 1. Words rhyme in a poem. T: Now I have something special for you. It’s about dogs. Let’s listen and read after the tape. T: We call this kind of article “a poem”. When we read a poem, we can find that some of the words in the poem rhyme. Words rhyme if the last syllables make the same or similar sound. Would you like to find these words together with me? (1) “ All ” rhymes with “ ball ”.

(2) “ Wide ” rhymes with “ hide ”.

(3) “ Tricks ” rhymes with “ sticks ”.

(4) “ Bite ” rhymes with “ fight ”.

(5) “ Friend ” rhymes with “ end ”.

Here is one example. Let’s watch a music video.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are. “ Star” rhymes with “are”.

“ High” rhymes with “sky”.

“ Star” rhymes with “are”.
