eg. T: What’s this?(show a picture of a panda, and cover some parts of it.) Ss: It’s a panda. It’s fat.
T: What are they? They are… Ss: They are pandas. They are fat.
(dogs---cute; elephants---big; cats---small; snakes---long; bears---strong)

eg. T: Sun. Ss: (Clap hands and say) Sun.
T: Bamboo. Ss: (Stamp feet and say) Bamboo.
（设计意图：把与图中动物相关的单词进行复习教学，并通过“快速反应”的游戏巩固单词，活跃气氛。同时为下面介绍动物的习性做好了衔接。）
3. First practice with the whole class, then hold a competition among groups.
4. Listen to the tape, and help these pictures to find their corresponding friends.( Ask the students to find the answers.)
