So we must make our teaching atmosphere relaxing and happy to make the students as hosts in the class. They are young beginners in English learning, their English is still poor, but they are active.

Part 4. Teaching proceduresIll finish this lesson in seven steps. First, Ill divide the stu dents into four groups, and bring a competition into the class . At last, lets see which group is the winner.

Step 4: ListeningTo improve their listening abilities and skills, Ill play the audiotape, ask the students to close their books and listen carefully with some simple questions, Ill play the tape twice.
