The First Period

I Warming-up

1 Work in pairs, getting them to describe what they see in the pictures.

Help:

1) Look at the picture. Is it about an adventure?

2) Who is the old man? Is he a real old man?

3) What is the map about?

4) Are the two young men interested in what the old man is saying? Where do they go and what do they want to do?

5) Do they find the treasure?

6) What happens to them?

7) What’s the result?

2 Ask the students to answer the questions, and then make up a good story.

The pictures tell us an adventure about two young men: One is a boy and the other is a girl. One day the two went for a visit at an island. It was a nice fairy land and the two young men were happy. Just then an old man appeared before them. The old man told them there were a great many treasures in a cave behind the mountain. The two young men were interested in what the old man told them. They decided to go to see if it was true.

To their joy, they found so many treasures that they could hardly believe their own eyes. Just then, they heard a big wind and came a monster before them. How frightened they were! They ran away in a hurry. Of course the two young men got nothing.
