Homework

⒉ Oral work: talk about the changes of buses
Teaching comments:
Students can understand the meaning of “ all of, most of, some of, none of” by conducting a survey. They can also tell the means of transport and use “I’d like to travel by…” to express their choices. Talking about “The ways to go to Pudong” help them know the meaning of “in the past, nowadays” and the correct tense. The post-task helps them with the consolidation.
