Step Ⅱ. Section A 2c (6 minutes)
T: Look at the pictures in 2c. I’ll ask a student to identify each picture.
Ss: a train, a bus, walk, subway, bike.
T: Now I’ll play two conversations. The people are talking about how students get to school and how long it takes. Please listen carefully and put a checkmark to show the kinds of transportation they talk about.
Play the recording the first time. Students only listen. Play it again. This time ask student to put a checkmark before a picture number. Then check the answers.
( This activity gives students practice in understanding the target language in spoken conversation.)

Step Ⅳ. Grammar Focus (5 minutes)
Review the grammar box. Ask students to say the statement and response with the help of pictures.
Write the sentences “They take the train.” And “It takes about forty minutes” on the blackboard. Ask students, what does “take the train” mean? Guide students to answer that it means to ride the train, and say we also use take to talk about a length of time. For example, it takes about forty minutes. So, there, “take” has two different meaning.
Step Ⅴ. Section A 3a (10 minutes)
