Step Ⅲ Reading and speaking
Reading carefully
T: Turn to Page 35. Look at Exercise 2. Here are six descriptions of the gifts listed. Go through the list and write the correct gift from the Internet page next to each description.
After the students have finished, check the answers with the class. Teacher can ask the students to describe the other 15 gifts as the descriptions given. That is to say, tell how they can help those in need. Any description will be OK.
Discussing

Do you think people will get interested in it and buy its gifts? Do you think those gifts listed are really helpful?
Step Ⅳ Reading task
Deal with READING TASK in the workbook.
T: We have talked the Chinese welfare programme Project Hope which helps children in poor areas go back to school. In the world, there are many organizations or programmes that help different groups of people in one way or another.

Rosanna works as a volunteer of Plan International in an area of Ecuador. Why did she write to the students? What did the students do? Read the letter and find the answers. While reading, summarize the topic of each paragraph and finish Exercise 1 on Page 74.
After the students have finished reading.
T: Why did Rosanna write the letter to the students?
S: Because the students sponsored a child in Ecuador recently. She wrote the letter on behalf of the child Orlando to tell the students something about Orlando and his family.
