Procedures

Step 1 Warming-up

We have been working hard on modern agriculture these days, so we shall be doing something interesting to relax ourselves. Now, let’s see a video segment.

( A video segment of Mr Bean, which is played by a very funny English comedian Rowan Atkinson.)

It is the humour of Mr. Bean that makes you laugh so happily. What do you know humour means? In what performances do we often enjoy humour?

( Give Ss some pictures and a lexical chunk )

Step 2 Practise saying tongue twisters.

What must we be able to do if we want to be a crosstalk artist?

(Let Ss listen to a Chinese tongue twister in a crosstalk show.)

Yes, a crosstalk artist should be able to say tongue twisters. And y.ou know, Americans have their tongue twisters as well. Look at the three tongue twisters on the screen, try to say them quickly, correctly and loudly.

(Give Ss three tips to say tongue twisters well: say in word groups; pay attention to some special sounds; and say with undivided attention.

Hold a speaking competition.

Step 3 Listening

In the following time, you will listen to a funny story. In the dialogue the granddaughter asks her grandmother about her marriage. How did she marry her grandfather. Then the grandmother tells her the love story.
