Step 1. Preparation

I. A Guess Game --- Let’s Do It! No. 4(About 3 minutes)

 Divide the class into groups. One at a time group members take turns acting a sport while the others try and guess what sport it is. The first person to guess correctly wins and takes a turn acting out another sport.

Maybe they will talk about the sport: football/soccer.

2) When we talk about Lin Dan, we will think of a sport----badminton

3) When we talk about Guo Jingjing, we will think of a sport---diving

4) Compare Lin Dan and Guo Jingjing:

Both Lin Dan and Guo Jingjing won gold medals in the Olympics.

Both of them defeated many players.

They both had an influence on others.

And of course, either of them has a good coach.

And their teams are both dream teams in China.
