①　It’s a huge area of water and covers most of the earth’s surface. (ocean)

②　It’s very dry and hot during the day, with a lot of sand. (desert)

 

Step 2: Presentation (15 mins)

1. Vocabulary Teaching

Use real pictures and videos to explain the meaning of words:

(1)      show the sea for ocean, sand dunes for desert, dense trees for forest, stone mountains for rock, open land for plain;

(2)      explain flat with the contrast of "mountain (high)" and "plain (flat)", rise with the sentence "The sun rises in the east".

 

2. Dialogue Model Analysis

Play the audio of Part B . Ask students to answer two questions:

①　How long is the Yangtze River?

②　Where does the Yangtze River rise and run to?

Highlight the key sentence patterns on the blackboard and explain their usage:
