Ⅰ. Warming-up and lead-in
To create an English environment, the teacher shows the class some pictures of a zoo. And ask some questions about animals:
Do you like to go to the zoo?
Do you like animals?
Then have them to recall the animals they had learned and write them on the blackboard as he/she can.
(e.g. animals---sheep, monkey, cat, dog, mouse, cow, duck… )
Ⅱ. Presentation
1. Ask them to talk with their partners about the animals they like using the words they know (Four students a group).
—What animals do you like?
—Why do you like…
—Because they’re…
2. Then show the class some pictures of animals and present other animals. And ask them:
What’s this in English?
It's a tiger. (Then lion, panda, elephant, koala, giraffe)
Ss look at the picture and try to remember the new words of the animals.
3. Next, glue the pictures on the blackboard and ask one student to match the pictures with the words on the cards. Other students turn to page 25 and finish 1a.
4. Check the answers with the class.
Ⅲ. Tell what animal it is.
T: Show some pictures on the big screen. Let Ss tell what animal it is.
Ss try to guess and remember the names of the animals.
Ⅳ. Listening
Work on 1b.
Tell Ss to listen to the tape and check the animals they hear in 1a.
Play the recording again and check the answers with the class.
Ⅴ. Pair work

Then ask a student to do the model with you:
— Let’s see the lions first.
—Why? (why do you /does she /does he like lions?)
—Because they are interesting.
2. Ss work with their partners practice the conversation using the animal in 1a.
