step 2: listen and find use information
t: listen to the tape please and find the answer of this question: who does danny want to interview?
(show the rubber dinosaur and draw some “tears” on its face)
t: these are danny’s tears. do you like dinosaurs? (yes!) but danny is unhappy now. do you want to know the reason? read the text on page 4 with the title of “she’s so beautiful!”
step 3: read and discuss
after the ss read the text fast and silently, let the ss discuss the following question:
why is danny scared? ( because he wants to talk to sandra)
do you think danny and sandra will become good friends? why? (yes, they will become good friends. because girls like dinosaurs and they have a nice talk to each other)
what is sandra like? (she’s beautiful.)
check the answers with the whole class.
step 4: further reading and further discussion
t: read the text a second time and have a further discussion about it. answer more questions about it.

2) why can the students call their english teacher “miss” cox?
3) what colour does sandra love?
4) what does sandra dislike?
5) what are sandra’s interests?
step 5: explain some new words and phrases (see text explanation of lesson 3)
step 6: project 2

2) guide the ss to make interview cards like this:
interview chart 1
name what he/she loves? what he/she hates?

name what he/she loves to do? what he/she hates to do?
