Listen to the tape the first time, and try to tell whether the statements in part 1 are true or false.(Teacher plays the tape for the students to listen and finish the task.)(After listening, the teacher checks the answers with the class.)T: Now let’s listen to the tape again and try to answer the questions in Part 2.(After listening, the teacher checks the answers) ZXXK]T: While listening to the tape, you should not only pay attention to the contents, but also the pronunciation and intonation.

We have learned many things about it. Up till now, earthquakes are difficult to predict. We can hardly avoid an earthquake. But actually we can do things to reduce the losses of an earthquake. Let’s look at the form on Page 66 and have a discussion about the earthquake plan with your partner.( Ss give their answers)T: What should you do if you are outside?(Ss give their answers)T: What should you do if you are in the living room?(different answers)T: What should you do if you are in the house room?(different answers)T: Next we are going to listen to the tape and write down the three “things” that are mentioned.(After listening, teacher checks the answers with the students.)T: Then let’s listen again. This time you should write down more details about each of th e “things”.(After listening, teacher checks the answers with the class.
