Write these words on the blackboard:overslept, taking a shower, had left, left her backpack at home．Then tell students to talk about the pictures in groups of four． Move around the classroom, listening to students and offering help． Make sure that they talk in English．After they all finish talking, ask different groups to tell the class about the pictures． They may say like this:Tina overslept in the morning． She wanted to go to the bathroom, but her brother had already gotten in the shower． When she got to the bus stop, the bus had already left．She had to run to school． After she got to school, she realized she had left her backpack at home． The sentences can vary, but should be correct．Step Ⅲ 1bThis activity gives students practice in understanding the target language in spoken conversation．Ask the students to read the instructions together． Have them look at the two columns, A and B ,in the chart． Point out the sample answer． Read the two parts of the sentence．Then go over the other unconnected parts of sentences, too．You will connect the two parts of the sentences, connect a sentence beginning in the first column with the end of that sentence in the second column． Please guess the other two sentences before I play the tape．I guess most of the children can get the correct sentences by guessing． So just let them guess． Don’t tell them whether their answers are right or wrong．OK, just keep your answers by guessing．Let’s decide if they are right by listening to the tape now．
