Step Ⅱ 3a
This activity provides reading practice using the target language.
Have the students look at the picture of the three children. Ask them who they think the children are.
Then call the students' attention to the title of the article and ask the children to read it out. Ask them the question again. This time they may answer. They are three volunteers.
Read the instructions to the students.
This is an article about volunteers. You have two tasks to do: first underline the kinds of work the volunteers do; second circle the reasons why they like their work.
Continue saying. The names of the three volunteers are Li Huiping, Lan Pei and Zhu Ming. The article tells you about the different things they do to help people. Please read the article the first time and underline the things they do. There are three questions on the blackboard to help you.
Write the three questions on the blackboard and tell them to scan the passage to get the answers and underline the words.
Questions
1.What does Li Huiping do to help people as a volunteer?
2.What does Lan Pei do?
3.What does Zhu Ming do?
Check the answers by asking three students to answer the questions.
Read the article to the class and do some explanation on any new words. Tell the students to raise their hands when I come to any word or sentence they don't understand. Pause and do some explanation.
Try to explain the new words in English like this: major means more important, for example, a major operation, the major roads; A veterinarian means an animal doctor, a doctor who treats animals.
After that, get the students to read the article a second time to circle the reasons.
Check the answers with the class.

Help the students answer. He could coach a football team for little kids.
Tell them coach means teach or train.
Then ask the students to look at the table in Activity 3b.
We can see three columns in this form. There are four names in the first column. And we can know what each of them loves doing from the second column, the column of loves. Now our task is to fill in the blanks in the third column, the column of Could. Get the students to discuss in pairs and fill the results of their discussions in the blanks.
Move around the classroom to make sure that they are discussing in English and offer them help as necessary.

Then work in pairs and give each other suggestions about what volunteer work you could do with those interests. Ask a pair to model the sample conversation before they begin to practice.
