This is the fourth teaching period of this unit. As usual, the teacher will first get the students to review what they learned in the last period, and then lead in the new lesson.

The emphasis of this period should be placed on developing students’ listening ability. Listening and speaking on Page 23 in the textbook is the third part of JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG:CHATING WITH A GIRL. The teacher can first lead in the topic by talking about the first part of JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG:THE DREAM AND THE PLAN.
