2. Write down the past tenses of the verbs that I show in CAI.
Purpose: this step is in order to review what the students have learnt in Unit 9.That way, I can lead them into the new lesson smoothly. I think It’s usual but pratical.

a. lead—in: ask students some questions: Did you dream last night? What did you dream? Where did I go on vacation in my dream?
b. CAI shows many pictures of my dream,which are also the activities in 1a .

d. Do 1a. Match the activities with the pictures (a—g).
e. Play a guessing game: I will show some jigsaws of each picture and have the students to guess. I will praise the student who answers more quickly.
Purpose: I put the vocabulary learning into a dream in order to prompt them to find it very interesting to learn English.. By CAI, students can match the vocabulary with the real things directly and master them easily.
Step 3 Listening practice
a. Tell the students to listen to the tape and number the people (1—5) in the picture.
b. Play the recorder for the first time, and then check the answers.
c. Play the recorder again, students imitate the conversations and fill in the blanks. Pay attention to their pronunciation and intonation.
Purpose: this is a basic and necessary step, which develops the students’ skills of listening, reading and writing.
Step 4 Pairwork
a. T—S: where did Tina go on vacation?
She went to the mountains.
b. Ask the students to practice in pairs as we 1c. Then they will come to the platform and click on the number to choose a picture and act it out randomly
Purpose: “Task-based”teaching method is used here to develop the students’ability of
communication and their ability of co-operation will be well trained. This step provides guided oral practice using the target language to consolidate the key structure and It can develop students’ skill of speaking and sense of language.
Step5 Production
Have students pretent to be reporters to interview anyone they want to ask about their vacation.
Purpose: After learning 1a—1c, it’s time to extend what they learnt just now and give the students a free space to show their abilities. With the real situations, students will feel easy and successful during this part. By way of communication, the students will understand how to use the key structure better and consolidate the knowledge firmly.
Part XI Homework
