The comic strip gives a funny conversation between Hobo and Eddie . Eddie asks Hobo to build a new house for himself. It leads to the topic of the unit 'Do It Yourself '. Then the welcome part introduces some tools for DIY and a dialogue between Millie and Suzy to talk about the concept and tools they need to do a DIY job.
This part is the first part in one unit . It is interesting and not so difficult , so it's a good chance to enlarge words and vocabularies and train the Ss' abilities . In this part , I'll give more chances to Ss to present and improve their confidence.

Watch a video on DIY that is my DIY experience.
I went to Yi Jia to buy a computer desk. In the shop , I choose and take it down from the shelf and carry it home all by myself without any assitant’s help . Before leaving there , I ask the cashier ," What should I do to install the desk ?" The assistant just say ," You'd better read instructions and do it yourself. "I did as instructions say, and at last I made it .
After that we’ll have a free talk :
1) .Do you like DIY , why?
2).What DIY work did you do in the past?
Purpose: I use a video to arouse the Ss’ interest and help them understand the meaning of DIY and lead to the topic DIY.
Then I present an instruction like this and ask the Ss to guess the meaning of the word instruction
安装说明：
1.按图示把板子分类
2.用螺丝刀把尖头螺丝拧到A孔处
3.------
Purpose: I create a language situation for Ss to learn new words and expressions.

Step2: Comic strip
First I use some pictures to ask the Ss to guess: What will Hobo do ?
Purpose:To light up their imagination and make the students interested in the listening material.
After guessing I ask Ss to listen to the tape and find the answer:
1. What will Hobo make?
2. What should Hobo do first?
Purpose: I create a question situation to help to improve the Ss’ ability of listening for specific information.

Activity 2:Read and complete

I ask the Ss to enjoy the video and imitate the pronunciation and intonation.
Then the Ss work in pairs to act it out , I encourage them to try to use their body languages （肢体语言） and gestures （姿势）!
Purpose: It aims to give the Ss study strategy , sense and imitate the language . And I create the chance for Ss to show themselves to improve their language skills and courage.

Steep 3: Part A (Tools on DIY )
