1. Where does Li Ming want to go?

3. Where.

Then collect the cards into three groups. Let each student choose one card from each group to make new sentences.

For example, a student gets the following:

Danny, eat donuts, on the bus

The sentence will be: Danny eats donuts on the bus.

Ss will review the Simple Present Tense (II) by playing the game.

Step II Lead-in 　　

T: Several months ago I came to another city (Write “city” on the Bb.) and took some pictures　　　 there. Maybe you can name some places that you are familiar with. Let me show you. Look here, please.

Show some pictures of our city, street, park, hotel, apartment buildings, traffic lights and so on. Write them on the Bb while introducing them one by one. Ask the class say the words and phrases a few times. Make sure Ss can pronounce them correctly.

Have Ss chant together while showing the picture of traffic lights.

T: I’m new in that city. I’m lost. Can you help me? (Write them on the Bb and explain to the whole class.)

Ss: Sure. T: Thank you. This is my map of that city. (Explain “map” and show it on the screen.) Excuse me! Where is the park? Who can help me?

S1: Here it is. (Point at the map.)

T: Excuse me! Where is the hotel?

S2: Here it is. (Point at the map.)

Language points：

Excuse me 是人们用于麻烦别人、提出请求或询问情况时用的委婉语，意为“劳驾，请原谅，打扰了，对不起 ”。Sorry 常用于因自己的过失而表示歉意，主要用于事后道歉。

- Excuse me! 打扰了。　

-Yes? 什么事？

Step III Game - What’s missing? Where is it?

Put up the pictures used in Step I in the front of the classroom. Tell Ss to look at the pictures for one minute and then close their eyes. Remove a picture.

Ask Ss to open their eyes and try to figure out which picture you have removed. Call on individual Ss to answer with the name of the picture until one answers correctly.

T: Excuse me! Where is the .... ? (Name the removed picture.)

S: Here it is! (The student who answered correctly goes to finds the picture, holds it up and says the word of the picture loudly.)

Then the student who answered correctly hides a picture and leads the guessing.

Step IV Presentation

You’d better ask several good Ss to make up dialogues with you as examples.

(1) T: Can you help me? I’m lost. Where is the street?

　 S1: Here it is! (Point at the map.)

　 T: Is that far from here? (Write it on the Bb and explain it.)

　 S1: No, it isn’t.

　 T: Thanks!

　 S1: You’re welcome.

(2) S2: Excuse me! Where is the park?

　 　T: There it is!

　　S2: Is that far from here?

　　T: No, it isn’t. Let me show you. Go down this street and turn left. (Write it on the Bb and　 explain it.) You can walk there.

　 　S2: Thank you.

　 　T: You’re welcome.

Write down the key sentences in the dialogues on the Bb or show them on the screen when they are used. Then have Ss repeat them.

Step V Pair work

Let Ss do some practice in pairs using the target language.

T: Now make up a short conversation with your partner. You may make one like examples above.

Ss practise making up their own short conversations in pairs for five minutes.

At last ask some pairs to present their conversations to the whole class.

Step VI Listening

Let Ss do some listening practice with the target language.

T: Now you will hear a short dialogue between Ms. Liu and Li Ming. Please listen carefully and then answer my Qs.
