If we want to become fluent in English, what should we do?

Possible answers: Practice our oral English more

Remember more words

Besides speaking, to become fluent in English requires other 3 skills, namely listening, reading and writing. When we listen and read, we take in things, while we write or speak we produce things. We call the former two skills as receptive skill whereas the latter two as productive skill.

(15')Passage-reading

Read the passage loudly, and get familiar with the new words, underline them but not to note them with the translations.

(15')Word-pronunciation and familiarization.

Tell student to recognize syllable.

A syllable generally is in the form of "(consonant)+vowel+(consonant)". Here the bracket means the existence of "consonant" is changeable. So most of the time, we judge how many syllable the word is made up of according to the number of the vowels in the word.

When pronouncing a word, read syllable by syllable.

After Ss' reading by themselves, ask several students to read the word, correct them if necessary.

(10')Listen to the recording of the passage and think about the structure or new words. (17')Text organization

Tell Ss the text can be divided into 3 parts, then how to divide?

The third part is the last paragraph.
