Period 2　Function;Listening and Speaking

　　The General Idea of This Period

　　The function of this module is "giving advice".First the teacher may ask the students to read the sentences listed and encourage them to find out the sentence structures of expressing giving advice.In Activity 2 the teacher may first pair the students to discuss the issue,and come up with a list.Finally call back the answers.If several pairs have chosen the same city,try to open a discussion about whether they think the advice is good or not.If everyone has chosen the same city,you may wish to make a board list of the advice and discuss it.In Listening and Speaking the students' listening and speaking abilities are trained.First the teacher may encourage the students to read the four topics and tick the topics they think they will talk about.This is actually a prelistening activity,which can stimulate the background information from the students.The next step is to listen and check whether their predictions are true.In Activity 2,there are five pictures.In dealing with this part the teacher had better encourage the students to ask and answer questions according to the pictures.And then the tape is played for the students to check their answers.Activity 3 and 4 may serve as a consolidation.
