Why do we love them so much ?, encourage Ss to say their answers out to the class; Then , I will tell Ss we are going to learn a lesson to get more knowledge about pandas. Let Ss read the report on page 60 , and look at the exercise on the Screen , that is to let Ss find the right paragraphs according to the main ideas. Check answers together after doing it.

At birth, how much did it weigh? 2.What did she look like when she was 10 days old? 3.When she was 4 months old how heavy was she? And what did she start to do? 4.When did she start to eat bamboo shoots and leaves?

Step 4 Reading, listening and practice which is designed about Paragraphs 4-8 has 3 parts : In the first part, I will get Ss to learn some words appearing in P4-8 by asking them to look at the Screen and match the words on the left with the meanings on the right.
