Step2: Present the new words

  Present the new news by answering the questions and      reading pictures.

  What is the Chinese tradition of giving and receiving gifts?

  What should we react if we receive a gift that we don’t like?

  Who would you like to give a toy gun as a gift? Why?

  Who would you like to give a doll as a gift? Why?

Introduce the new words to the students and make them think about the properness when they give a present.

Step3: Practice using the new words

Practice by filling the gaps.

Provide the practice for using the new words.

Step 4. Skimming

Have the students try to get the main ideas of the two emails by answering the following questions.
