2. Teaching key points: help the students have a better understanding of the present simple tense and the past simple tense.
3. Teaching difficult points: enable students to distinguish fricatives of English and express satisfaction and dissatisfaction properly. 4. Teaching procedures: Part One Listening and Speaking Step 1. Pronunciation and listening skills
Pronouncing fricatives properly: 发 /f/ 和 /v/ 这两个摩擦音时，上齿应接触下唇。发 /θ/ 和 /e/ 这两个摩擦音时，舌尖应置于上下齿之间。发 /s/ 和 /z/ 这两个摩擦音时，舌尖应抵齿龈。另外，因为 /v/、 /e/ 和 /z/ 这三个音是浊辅音，读时声带应振动(To see the examples on the screen and practice)。
/f/ 和/v/
/f/ 和/v/ 是唇齿音。发/f/ 时，上齿轻轻咬住下唇内侧，将气流从唇齿的缝隙间轻轻吹出来；/v/ 的发音和/f/ 大致相同，发此音时，上齿轻轻咬住下唇内侧，再用力将气从唇齿的缝隙中吹出来，但需要振动声带。 /θ/ 和/e/
/θ/ 和/e/是齿间音。发/θ/ 时，双唇微开，舌头伸出来，上下齿轻咬住舌尖，将气流从牙齿的缝隙中吹出来。发/e/ 时，双唇微开，上下齿轻咬住舌尖，让气流尽量被上下齿堵住，只允许少量气体从牙齿缝隙中吹出来，同时振动声带发出声音。 /s/ 和/z/
是齿龈音。发 /s/ 时，舌尖及舌中靠近上齿龈，其间形成窄缝，气流从窄缝中流出，摩擦成音，但只送气不振动声带；发/z/ 和发/s/ 时的舌形和口形相同，不同的是发此音时声带需要振动，但不送气。
