(Remind the students of the tsunami in 2004 with a picture and talk about it.) T: As we know, at the end of last year, a massive earthquake sent tsunami smashing into Indian Ocean coastlines. Many heavily populated disasters from it.

(Ask the students to talk about the pictures in coast areas, such as Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Malaysia and East Africa was destroyed by the monster waves, causing millions of deaths. We human beings saw the violence of natural disasters from it.

(Ask the students t6o talk about the pictures in Introduction, page 21.)

T: Now, please turn to page 21. Here are some pictures of disasters. What can you see from the pictures?

S: From the first picture, I can see a truck trapped in the floods.

T: Now, please look at the pictures on the screen. What can you see from the pictures? S: From the first picture, I can see many houses are trapped in the flood.

T: Good! How about picture2?

S: It looks like a strong wind blowing the trees.

S: It’s wind.

T: Not bad. It is called tornado, which can cause damage to people and villages. Well, do you know what a flood is, what a hurricane is and what a tornado is? If not, let’s come to page 21 to find out the definitions.

Step 2 Speaking (Part 1, Page 21)

(Get the students to match the words in the box with the definitions below .Then ask individuals to show their answers.)

T: Now, you please match the words with the definition below. And tell me what they are. Make sure to give whole sentences.

(Allow the students some time to do the task. Collect the answers.)

Suggested answers for Task 1:

A flood is a lot of water in an area which is usually dry.

A hurricane is a very strong wind or storm.

Lightening is the flash of light which occurs during a thunderstorm.

A thunderstorm is a lot of rain falling quickly, with loud noises and flashes of light.

A tornado is a column of air that turns very quickly.

(The underlined three sentences are shown on the screen.)

T: Now, let's pay attention to these three sentences on the screen. Please find out the common characteristics in all of them.)

S: The sentences all give a definition of something.

T: Very good. Each sentence gives a definition of a word. Any other opinions? S: The Attributive Clause appears in each sentence.

T: Well done! That is right. When we give a definition of a word, the Attributive Clause is usually necessary and helpful. We'd better learn to use the structure “A is B that/which…”. Now let's come to Part 3 on page 22.

(Let the students match the words in the box with the sentences below and then check the sentences.)

T: Ok, we can see it is the same form as the one we did just now on page 21.You please give a definition of each word with a whole sentence, using the Attributive Clause if necessary. And you can also add some words to help you. Cooperate with your partners to work them out.
