Step 1  Lead in

1.       Say something about the teacher himself/herself.

2.       Show some pictures about my students, including Li Dong.

3.       Talk about his problem.

Good morning, everyone. I’m Sally, from No.1 Middle School in Dong’an. My school is a boarding school. So relatively speaking, students have more time in school. They study, rest, eat and sleep under the same roof. Some of them can become good friends. But sometimes, they may also meet with something unhappy. Li Dong is an example. Recently, he has had some problems with two of his friends. So who do you think he can turn to for help?

(teachers, parents, other classmates, agony aunt, … )

From reading, we can see students can also turn to agony aunt for help. Besides all these ways, there is still a popular one, called “hot lines”, especially through radio. So do you want to learn more about hot lines? Open your books and turn to page 13, Here is an introduction to a hotline: Teen Talk. Before reading, guess some answers.

Step 2  Pre-listening

Ask the students to go through this small passage about Teen Talk.

1.       Find the answers to these five questions and check the answers.

Answers: 1 phone; 2 true; 3 false; 4 your problems; 5 practical advice.

2.       Guide students to make simple notes.

With my help, Li Dong has turned to Teen Talk for help. So next, we will hear that telephone talk and get to know what Li Dong’s problem is. While listening, please write down key words to these five questions on p13. Refer to question 1 on p12. You needn’t write down the whole sentences and can answer the questions in your own words.

Step 3  While listening

Listen to the conversation twice. For the first time, get to know the main idea of the passage and take some simple notes. For the second time, complete your notes.

Step 4  Post listening

 　Check answers to the questions and play the tape again for the students to confirm their answers.

Step 5  Discussion

1.       Discuss the topic “Friendship” with students.

Accepting Teen Talk’s advice, Li Dong wants to write a letter to each of them. But it happens that Li Dong isn’t good at expressing himself. He asked me what he should say in the letter besides that he felt trapped and divided. I was too busy to answer him then. So can you give him some suggestions?   (the qualities of a good friend; feelings about best friends; what makes a good friendship last)

2.       Inform the students to make up a dialogue in a group of four.

I think these suggestions are too much for Li Dong. Maybe he wants to listen to your opinions about friends and friendship. So have a discussion around friends:

① What does friendship mean to you?

② What are the qualities of a good friend?

③ How do you feel when you stay with your best friends?

④ What makes a good friendship last?

⑤ Does having friends make you a better person?

⑥ How do you want your friend to treat you?

Choose at least two of the questions to discuss with your partners and make up a dialogue in a group of four.

3.  Present the ways of expressing “Agreeing” and “Disagreeing”

Don’t hurry. Before your own dialogue, let me show you two dialogues made up by my students on the same topic “Staying a teenager forever would be great.” Pay attention to which one is better. Why?

（Because the better one varies the ways of expressing agreeing and disagreeing）

4.  Students make up their own dialogue.

5.  Choose three groups to present their dialogue

Step 6  Conclusion

Boys and girls, in this class we have talked about Li Dong’s problem and helped him a lot. I think he’ll be very happy after hearing your opinions about friends. Truly, friends are very important in our daily lives. With good friends, one can live happily. Remember in order to make your friendship last, try to accept your friends as they are and be strict with yourself.

Step 7  Homework

Organize your thoughts and write something down about this topic after class in a group of four.
