poems aloud, each reads one sentence in Li Bai’s poems and one stanza of Daffodils. Then each
reads a whole poem to the group.
Go round and monitor the activity. Correct students’ pronunciation where necessary.
Extension and homework

a description of a certain scene and building, using some of the Key Words, and other descriptive
vocabulary.
Tell students not to mention what scenes and buildings are in their description.
In groups, each student reads his/her description in the group and let the others guess the scene
and building. 3
