Then ask the children to reread the reviews more carefully and tell them I will ask some more questions on it in details.
Let them read a little longer this time, around three minutes. Then ask the following questions orally and ask different students to reply, providing some help as necessary.
1: Is Yellow River Fishermen Hung Tao’s latest movie?
2: Does the reviewer like Hung Tao?
3: What has Hung Tao done over the years?
4: Does the reviewer think Yellow River Fishermen is the best movie of Hung Tao?
5: What does the reviewer suggest you doing if you are looking for entertainment?
6: Why does the reviewer think it is the worst movie of Hung Tao?
7: What good feature does the movie have?
Give some eXPlanation on the problems which are hard to understand for the children, such as, entertainment means fun, feature means special part of sb./sth., very different from the others, easy to recognize or remember, and wife is the opposite word of husband, A husband and a wife make up a family. And tell the children the plural form of wife is wives.
Now read the instructions to the students.
Ask them which sentences we should circle and which ones we should underline.
Check the answers with the students.
Teach the other two reviews with the same way.
Underlined: Every song is really loud and often you can’t understand the words…the lyrics aren’t very good.

Step Ⅳ 3b
Read the instructions to the children first. Ask one of them if he or she knows what we will do to make sure each one knows the tasks of this activity. Look at the chart now. We see two new words in the boxes, pros and cons. Pro means in favor of and con means against. We have to find out the pros and cons of the reviewers in Activity 3a and fill in the blanks with proper sentences. Have a look at the sample answer and try to write out the other answers, using the information from the reviews in Activity 3a. Move around the classroom while the children are writing to see if they can write out the right answers, offering help as needed.
Check the answers by asking several students to read their answers to the class. If someone did wrong, let the other students correct his or her answers.
Writing the answers on the blackboard as the students read makes it easy for the whole class to check the answers. Say, let’s review the task. What can we find out? Yes, right, we have got the similar answers with those in Activity 3a.
Step Ⅴ 3c
Read the instructions to the students.
Say, Decide what review you will write first, a review of a book, a CD or a movie?
Write down the name first. Note to use the cap
