Step Ⅳ Writing task

Deal with WRITING TASK on Page 84.

T: Now look at the four pictures in WRITING TASK. Imagine what might have happened. Then write a story about it according to the pictures.

Some minutes later, ask several students to read their stories to the class.

A sample story:

The day I left home for Australia I went to say goodbye to my mother. She was very worried about me and whether I could look after myself properly. She was especially worried that I wouldn't like Australian food, so she cooked me all my favourite dishes and put them into a box to take with me on my journey.

When I arrived in Australia the customs officer wanted to know what I had in my box. He explained that Australia has very strict quarantine regulations. They don't want plant and animal diseases from other countries to come into Australia so they inspect all the plant and animal products. Unfortunately it was illegal for me to bring into the country the kind of food my mother had given me and so it all had to be thrown away.

That night, instead of eating Mum's delicious spicy chicken, I bought and Australian hamburger and ate it in the airport.

Step Ⅴ Homework

Let the students choose one of the projects on Page 85 and prepare it after class. They will be asked to report or display their work in the next class.
