 Step 1 Lead-in

T: Good morning! Do you remember your first visit to the zoo? Did you see wild animals? What wild animals did you see?

( Then ask the students to change roles and say something about their childhood.)

 Step 2 Reading and Speaking

T: This class, let's talk something about people's childhood. Read the passage individually. And then decide which are happy and which are unhappy.

S: I can remember my first visit to the zoo.I saw a lion and an eagle. The lion was very lazy and slept all the time. He was very boring. The eagle suddenly flew in the air and frightened me. I started to cry.

T: So you were unhappy, right?

S: Yes, I'm very sad.

T: Anyone else?

S: I remember the day my father tried to teach me how to ride a bicycle. I wasn't good at it. I said, "I don't want to do this!" But my father was very patient and very soon he taught me how to do it. Now I ride my bike every day and I'm much faster than my father!

T: How happy you were!

S: Yes. I was very glad.

T: Do you remember your first day at kindergarten very clearly?

S: Yes. There were so many children! I only knew one of them, a boy who lived in the apartment next door. I was very nervous. But we started playing with some toys and I soon stopped feeling nervous.
