In this procedure, students will learn how to introduce oneself and ask for names.

T: Hello! Who can tell me your name in English?

S: I can.

T: Then what's your name?

S: My name is....

T: OK. You can say I am ....too. (Pointing to a girl) Then, what's your name?

S: My name is...

T: (Pointing to a boy) What's your name?

S: I am....

T: So in order to introduce yourself, you can use: My name is....or I am.... Do you understand?

S: Yes.

After doing this, ask two or three pairs of students to ask each other's names in English. Make sure they can use My name is.... and I am ....

Give every student a chance to introduce himself or herself.

Step II Listening (1b, 2a, 2b: P1-P2 )

First tell students: When the people in western countries meet for the first time, they say Hello! or Nice to meet you. Then you can ask the next question: When one says Nice to meet you to you, what should you say to him? Ask students to answer in either English or Chinese. Then you can go on to explain: When people say Nice to meet you to you, you can say: Nice to meet you, too. or Me, too. Before this, ask some students to greet each other and ask their names.

S1: Hello!

S2: Hello!

S1: What's your name?

S2: My name is....

S1: Nice to meet you.

S2: Nice to meet you, too.

Then ask students to listen to the recording.
