Step Ⅰ Revision
1.Revise the passage about Singapore by asking two or three students to read it to the class. Make sure that they pronounce each word correctly.
Then let students read it aloud once by themselves.
2.Check the short compositions they have written at home. First let several ones read theirs to the class. Second, get them to work in pairs to check the compositions. At last, collect all students' compositions. Go over them carefully after class.
Step Ⅱ Part 1
This activity reviews the target language and introduces new vocabulary.
Read the instructions to students. Explain brainstorm like this:
Brainstorm a list of things means you should write down all the ideas that come into your minds.
Now brainstorm a list of things that are important to you when you go on vacation. Write them down in your exercise books. You should not worry if an idea is silly or if a word is spelled wrong. You can even write a word in their first language for the moment.
Ask them to have a look at the two model phrases the book provides before they begin. Move around the room offering language support as needed.
After about three minutes, tell them to stop writing and thinking.
Let's review the ideas you've thought of together. We will correct spelling and find the correct English words for any words you don't know.
Then ask some children to read their lists to the class. Write any new words or phrases they have used on the black board. Ask them to discuss the lists in groups of four. Each one reads his or her own list to the other three. Then they discuss the words or phrases together. If there is something that they are not sure, tell them to show me by putting up their hands. Move around the room and solve the problems they may have. Help students find the correct English words to express their ideas.
Step Ⅲ 2a
This activity gives students practice in understanding the target language in spoken conversation.
Read the instructions to students. Tell them to guess the meaning of travel agency first. Then explain it like this:
If you plan to have a trip or vacation, you can go to a travel agency. A travel agency is an office that can help you make travel plans. Also they help you get plane tickets and hotel reservations. Then presentate whale watch and amusement park to the class like below. A whale watch tour means you stay in a ship and go out to the oceaning during the time of year when the whales are migrating, then you can see them travelling. Amusement park means a place like disneyland. You can do lots of rides and play lots of games there. Write the two phrases on the blackboard. Look at the three pictures in Activity 2a now. We know Jeff has a summer job at a travel agency. We will hear him talking on the phone with three different people. Can you see the small box in the corner of each picture? Listen to the conversations and number the pictures. Write a proper number in each box to show the right order of the pictures. Then play the tape for the first time. Tell them only to listen. Play the tape a second time. As they listen to the tape this time, have the students number the pictures.
Check the answers.

The pictures should be numbered in the following order:
1, 2, 3

Step Ⅴ 2c
This activity provides guided oral practice using the target language.
Read the instructions to the children.
Say, In this activity, you are asked to role play Jeff's conversation with the information in the chart in Activity 2b.
Ask a pair of students to read the sample conversation to the class.
SA : Where would you like to go?
SB: I'd like to go somewhere warm.
SA: Where else can you tell me?
SB: I don't want to go to a place which is too far away.
Then ask them to continue it. Offer some help if necessary. For example, they may say like this,
SA: Where would you like to go?
SB: I'd like to go somewhere warm.
SA: What else can you tell me?
SB: I don't want to go anywhere too hot. Offer more phrases, … to go to a small town, …to go by ship,…to go to a place which is too crowded, …to travel by plane, … to go to anywhere too far, ect.
Write them on the blackboard.
Then ask students to practice in pairs. Move around the room checking the progress of the pairs and offering help as needed. Ask one or two pairs to say their conversations to the class. Correct any mistakes they may have made.
