Hello, boys and girls. Today we’ll continue to learn Unit 6 Listening. Before this class, I want to ask you some questions. We know every child has his own great idea. I think you do the same. When you grow up, maybe you want to be a teacher, a businessman, a pilot, or an engineer. Today we are going to talk about the topic about your future intentions. Turn to look at Unit 6: I’m going to study computer science.

Before listening
Look at the picture. The boy in the picture is Chen Han. What’s he doing? He is dreaming about his future. What does he want to be? Predict the answer according to the pictures.
Let’s look at the pictures below and explain the activities in the pictures if necessary.
Let’s read the chart below. Tell students that they’ll listen to Chen Han’s plan for the future. They should answer the questions: “What” means “What is Cheng Han going to be?” “Where” means “Where is Cheng Han going to work?” “How” means “How is he going to do it?” “When” means “When is he going to start?”
Play the recording for the students and check the correct boxes in the picture.
While listening
Play the recording for the first time and get students to listen to 2a and check the correct boxes in the picture. Suggested answer: Chen Han is going to be a teacher.
Play the recording for the second time and get students to listen to 2b and complete the chart. Suggested answers:

Where He is going to move to Shanghai.
HOW He is going to learn how to teach children.
When He is going to finish high school and college first.
Play the recording for the third time and get students to listen and repeat. Focus students’ attention on the pronunciation and intonation.
After listening
Chen Han is going to finish high school and college. How about you? Are you going to college? Are you going to Shanghai? Where are you going to study? Besides going to college, Chen Han has other plans for the future. What’s his plan? We’ll listen to the tape. But before listening, can you tell me what these four words mean?
S1: What does Chen Han want to be when he grows up? S2: He wants to be a teacher. S1: When is he going to start? S2: He’s going to finish high school and college first. Everyone has a dream, if you try your best, you can be anyone you want.
Role play the conversation in 2d. What book is Ken reading? Who is the author? Do you always read books after class? Do you want to be a writer? The boy named Ken likes reading very much. From the conversation between Ken and his friend Andy, we can know what book he is reading. Maybe many of you are like Andy, you are not sure about your future. I think you just follow your interest and make sure try your best, you can be anyone you want, you can get any job you want.
