Teaching procedures:
STEP 1 Introducing our friends---animals
Introduce our friends---animals. (This activity can be organized after Period 6. Get 2-3 students to introduce the animals we have already learned. Encourage the students to use the first person to talk about the animals. Tell them to talk about the five aspects: appearance, ability, character, food and danger. )
STEP 2 Describing the animals
Describing the animals. Show more pictures of different kinds of animals and invite the students to describe them (Mainly about appearance, encourage the students to include as much information as possible.).
STEP 3 Showing a picture of a giant panda
Show a picture of a giant panda. Get students to describe it.
Get the students to talk about baby giant pandas, too. Ask the students two questions:
1. How many babies do mother giant pandas have at a time?

2. How many giant pandas are there in the world now?
Get the students to guess and at the same time write their guesses on the board.
STEP 4 Finding the answers
Play the tape for the students to find the answers to the two questions. Check the answers. Praise the students who get the closer answer.
STEP 5 Completing the following table
Say ‘ Pandas are in danger. Let’s get to know more about them and try to help.’ Invite the students to read the report on Page 71 and try to complete the following table.

2. Mother giant pandas have only one or two babies at a time.
3. If farmers keep taking the land, giant pandas will have nowhere to live.

Get the students to describe it, before they open their books to read about it. Encourage the students to talk as much as possible about it (appearance, ability, character, food and danger).
