Yes, I agree with you, sit down please. Ok, so today let’s learn more about sandstorm, especially t he severe sandstorm in Beijing.

Now, let’s tak e out our paper and look at the reading passage. Lets’ read it together and think about three

questions:

Can you figure out the word formation by taking the first word as an example? Besides, try to find out the synonym of it in the following context. You can discuss with your partner. Have you done? Ok, let’s answer it together. The word “forecast” is combined with... yes, “fore” and “cast”in English, we call “fore” a prefix, which defines the meaning of this word. OK, and the synonym of the word in this context is... yes, predict. Ok, the third word. For this word, can you try to guess the meaning of it from the context? Yes, you are so clever.
