Distinguished judges and teachers:
Hello, everyone. I'm a junior high school English teacher, candidate x, and the topic I'm trying to talk about today is My Name Is Leo. Now let me begin my trial lecture.
Step 1: Lead in
T: Hello boys and girls. How are you?
S: Pretty good.
T: Okay, before class, I'll show you some pictures. Please look at the blackboard. What are these pictures about? Who wants to have a try? Ivy, please!
S: The pictures may be about cities.
T: Wonderful! So now, let's do a free talk with your partner about your familiar cities. Several minutes later, I will invite some of you to give us a report.
T: Time is up. Who wants to share your idea? Mike, please!
S: My familiar city is Shijiazhuang. It is called the city piled by train.
T: Thanks for your sharing. What about you, Lily?
S: My familiar city is Beijing. It is the capital city of China.
T: Super!
Step 2: Pre-listening
T: So now, I will play a video for you. Please watch carefully and then share your experience there and your opinions or impression about the city.
T: Time is up! Who wants to share your idea with us? Tom, please!
S: I think the city in the video is Harbin. I have been there before. It's cold there.

T: Great! Now, here is the picture of Leo, can you guess what happened about this boy in Harbin. A few minutes later, I will encourage some of you to share. Clear?
