Students share ideas about farm animals’ contributions (cows give milk, horses carry goods), activating speaking themes. Activity 2: Pronunciation Warm - up Practice pronunciation with the “Improving your pronunciation” section, focusing on sounds /sk/, /sp/, /st/, /sl/, /sm/, /sn/, /pl/, /pr/, /kw/, /tw/ (e.g., “desk, respect, stay, sleep”). Step 2 Speaking: Talk About Farm Animals (15 Minutes) Activity 1: Group Discussion Students discuss farm animals’ importance in groups, using the example and role list (carry goods, provide food).

Classmates ask follow - up questions, practicing the speaking structure and deepening understanding of animals’ roles. Step 3 Pre - writing: Analyze Animal - Story Format (10 Minutes) Activity 1: Story Outline Analysis Students analyze Wang Yao’s story outline and narrative, identifying elements (time: last month, place: the sea, characters: dolphin, shark, Sam).
