•The rule of context （语境法则）
Set up a meaningful scenario. It is helpful to attract their attention. We normally extract the grammar point from the environment. Remember: put it back as soon as possible. Meanwhile, we should teach the structure and mean together. To choose this grammar point but not the others is based on what the speaker or the writer want to express.

At the same time, the teacher can change the story a bit. e.g. Reorder the events of the story; add some new plots ( someone’s been using my computer; someone’s been picking my flowers…). Keep on practicing till they can tell the story through reading the flashcards or pictures.
