Step 2: Pre-speaking
Read the dialogue for students and ask them to answer two questions:
Q1: How can you improve your English? (We can watch TV programs on CCTV 9.)
Q2: Where can you read books, newspapers or magazines? (At the library.)
Invite several students to share their ideas. Conclude some useful expressions for students.

Five minutes for students to make a new conversation about how to improve English. Remind students to pay attention to their pronunciation and intonation.
Step 4: Post-speaking

Step 5: Summary and homework
Summary: invite a student to be a little teacher and summarize today’s lesson. Ask students to learn English by using proper and reasonable methods.
