Most students know some easy words about responsibility but struggle with new abstract words and long difficult sentences in the passage. They can find basic information while reading, yet they are weak in deep understanding and logical thinking. Besides, students are developing their values and can realize the importance of taking responsibility, but they still need teachers’ guidance to fully grasp the reading text and express their opinions clearly.

2. Make simple PPT to show key words, main sentences and related pictures about responsibility.
3. Design warm-up activities such as questions and short discussions to help students get ready for the topic.
