V-ing.

Step 3. Language use

Help students to learn to use the verbs followed by V-ing as object.

1. Activity 2 P14.

2. Get the students to work in pairs introducing each other by using the verbs in Activity 2.

And then ask several pairs to act it out in class.

3. Activity 3 P14.

(Ask the students to write down 3 more true sentences about themselves using the words and then show their work on the screen.)

Step 4. Writing

1. Ask the students to read any paragraph in "Reading and Vocabulary" again first.

2. Give the students each a piece of paper with the paragraph they've just read but without any punctuations or any capitalized words. And ask the students to punctuate this paragraph, using full stops, capital letters, question marks and commas where necessary.

　( Show the students' work on the screen and see if the students can do it correctly. There might be some differences from the punctuations used in the passage, but if they are acceptable, they are O.K.)

3. Get the students to discuss why they punctuate the passage like this by asking some questions.

(1) Why do you punctuate your passage like this?

(2) Why are punctuations important in writing

(3) What is also important besides punctuations in writing?

( Help the students to sum up by themselves how to use punctuations in a passage. And remind them of the importance of punctuation marks and capital letters.)

Step 5. Practice

1. Ask the students to punctuate the passage on P18.

(Get the students to work on this individually and then check in pairs and teacher can show two or three students' work on the screen, so the students may have a discussion about whose is better and why. In doing this they can practise what they've learned just now.)

2. If time is allowed, teacher may prepare another passage without punctuations or capital letters to give the students more practice.

3. Ask the students to write a short description of their favourite teacher. Remind the students to use capital letters, commas and full stops where necessary.

( If there is still time in class, teacher can show some students' work on the screen, or
