Distinguished judges and teachers:
Hello, everyone. I'm junior high school English teacher candidate x, and the topic I'm trying to talk about today is How do You Make a Banana Milk Shake? Now let me begin my trial lecture.
Step 1: Lead in

T: Very good. We've learnt how to make it last class. Today I want to introduce another delicious food for you. Listen to me carefully. It is a delicious food in Yunnan. You need to have rice noodles, chicken soup, chicken, lettuce and eggs. (Of course, you can also have other things like fish and different vegetables.) You can guess what this food is.

Think about the ingredients they may need to make this food, and write the ingredients in 3b.
