Unit 1 Greetings

Activity 2 Look, listen and repeat.

Objectives: to introduce the new vocabulary (cat, dog, tractor);

to introduce the sounds of the animals

to practise the pronunciation of the sounds [] and [u]

Say that now the children know how the cows and ducks talk, but we still have other animals. So offer the pupils to learn their language. Hang the pictures of animals on the blackboard including a tractor, a cat and a dog. Say that people use tractors in rural areas, and although it is not an animal, it also seems to “talk”. Cats and dogs are true human companions. Therefore, they need to learn them, too. Then you can have the pupils practise the words “dog” and “cat”.

This is a cat.

This is a dog.

After that, introduce the sounds of animals. Also have the pupils practise the words, especially the sounds [] in “quack” and [u] in “moo” in chorus and individually.

This is a cow. Moo-moo

This is a horse. Neigh-neigh

This is a goat. E-e-e

This is a sheep. Baa-baa

This is a rooster. Cockle-dockle-doo

This is a duck. Quack-quack

This is a cat. Meow-meow

This is a dog. Woof-woof
Then announce a competition for the best tractor driver. It is a fact that the tractor can speak differently. Trrr or frrr or prrr. If there are volunteers to imitate a working tractor, try to find out who among them is the best.

This is a tractor. trr-trr-trr.

Say that you have not included the chick in the list as it is very small. And there is no a rabbit as well, because rabbits do not make sounds.
