PERIOD 4: VOCABULARY
复备区Teaching Objectives
●To use adjectives to dscribe people?s p hysical features

Teaching Procedures
Teaching procedures:
Step 1 A guessing game
Take an exercise book to the classroom. Tell the students that one of them has
sone well in yesterday?s homewor k, Can you guess who he/she is? Remember that
you can only ask me some …Yes?or …No? questions? like …A girl? …Does she have long,
black hair?? ete.
Step 2 Talking about one’s appearance
It is important to learn to describe one?s appearance.
When we see a p erson, we don?t pay attention to his facial appearance at the first sight.
We can only tell his/her general appearance. Can you think of words that about one?s
general appearance?
Here we should pay attention to some of the words. For example, we seldom us …thin?
or …fat? to talk about people, because they sounds impolite, and sometimes it may hurt
that people.
Step3 Talking of something special about one’s appearance
However, it is not enough that we describe people?s general appearance. For example,
when I say …My friend is good-looking?, do you know whom I am talking about? No.
So it is really important for us to learn to describe one?s facial appearance and learn to
talk about something special about someone.
Third, let?s talk about one?s eye.
