Step I Lead in
Lead the students to talk about making phone calls in English.
T: How is it going, class!
S: Fine, Mr. / Ms …
T: Good! But I was not so good last weekend. Do you know why? Let me tell you something. Last Saturday morning, I went to the bookstore as quickly as I could. Then, I took my handbag and hurried to the station. But when I got to the bookstore, I suddenly realized that I had forgotten to lock my door! What should I do? I thought of returning, but it’s a long way. Then I tried to call my neighbor. Think what happened.
S: You neighbor helped you.
T: Yes, you’re right. But try to think: he has no key at all. How could he?
S: Your neighbor called your family members?
T: Great! So you see, when we are in trouble, a phone call may be of great use, right?
Show the students the following pictures on the slide.

T: Well, look at the pictures. What are they doing?
S: They are making phone calls.
T: Yes. Do you often call your friends?
S: Yes.
T: How often do you make phone calls to your friends?
S: Very often.
T: Do you make phone calls in English? If yes, is it hard to understand your friends when they speak English?
S: Yes, sometimes we talk in English. And it’s hard to understand my friends when they speak English.
T: If so, what can you ask them to do?
S: I’ll ask them to speak slowly, or repeat what they’ve said.
T: You’re quite right. Making phone calls in English is not as easy as in Chinese. But, it may help us practice English, do you agree?
S: Of course.
T: Next we’ll listen to a phone conversation. Let’s listen and find out what the point is.

Step II Listening
Ask the students to listen to the conversation and answer the questions given to have a basic idea of this text.
T: Listen to the tape and answer these questions on the slides.
Show students the following questions:
1. What does Wang Mei want Li Ming to do?
2. Why does Wang Mei call Jenny?
3. Is it easy for Wang Mei to understand Jenny? If not, what does she do?
Play the tape recorder, ask the students to listen carefully and take some notes if necessary.
After that, ask some of them to answer the questions above.
T: Who can answer these questions? Boys and girls, be brave!
S1 Wang Mei wants Li Ming to help her to speak English with his friend.
S2: Wang Mei wants to practice her English with an English-speaking friend.
S3: No, it is difficult for Wang Mei to understand Jenny. She asked Jenny to say the sentences again and slowly.
T: You did a good job! Listen again and read after the tape. Pay more attention to the pronunciation and intonation. After that, I will ask some of you to act out the conversation.
Play the tape recorder, get the students to repeat after it, and then ask some pairs to act out the conversation.

Step III Reading and discussing
Ask the students to read the dialogue again and find the differences in making telephone calls in Chinese and English.
T: Please look through the text and discuss the following questions:
1. The differences in making telephone calls in Chinese and English.
2. How to express language difficulties when you making phone calls?
Ask the students to discuss in groups of four. After the discussion, ask the students to give their answers.

S1: In Chinese, when we make phone calls, we always say: Are you …? Who are you? I am ….
S2: But in English, they always say: May I speak to ….? This is … speaking. Who is it / this / that? Is this / that … speaking?
T: Wonderful! So when you make phone calls in English, you should follow the ways in this text. Remember Chinglish (中国式英语) is not encouraged. Well, next question?
S: We can express those in the following ways:
1. I am sorry, I can’t follow you. Please say that again.
2. Pardon? Please speak more slowly.
T: Great! Now suppose you want to call your friend, but he isn’t near the phone. His mother answers the phone. Work in pairs and prepare for this conversation.
Several minutes later, ask some pairs to act out their dialogues in class.
Sample dialogue:
S1: Hello, may I please speak to Jack?
S2: Hold on, please. (One minute later.) Sorry he isn’t in now. Can I take a message for you?
S1: Yes, I’m his friend，Tom. Could you please tell him I have two tickets to a football match tonight? If he’d like to come, phone / call me back. My telephone number is 8963628.
S2: OK, I will pass this message onto him.
S1: Thank you. Goodbye.
S2: Bye!

Step IV Presentation
Ask the students to complete LET’S DO IT to use the phone call expressions they have learned above.
T: Now, you are very clear about how to make a phone call in English. Now make up a dialogue with your partners. Act out a phone conversation between two friends. One is in China; the other one is in America. Try to use the expressions in this lesson. Use your rich imagination; you can create any situation you’d like.
Give the students enough time to make up their dialogues and later ask some of them to act out their dialogues.
Sample dialogue:
S1: Hello, may I speak to Mary.
S2: This is Mary speaking. Is that you, Li Hua?
S1: Yes, this is.
S2: I am glad to hear your voice. How are you?
S1: I am fine! I miss you very much. I want to tell you good news. I got an A in the English test.
