B．The body of the lesson

1．Listening

1) Ask the Ss what can you see in the picture? (A man is ringing somebody up) and get the Ss to tell you what they think is happening.

2) Tell the Ss Today We are going to learn a dialogue between Steve and Pippa. They are talking about something.

3) Teacher may say: Listen to the dialogue (Book closed.) and think about the question: What does Steve ask Pippa to do? (To go to a lecture about the universe.)

2．Drill

A： Thanks for the message.

B： Not at all.

A： There's no one called Mary here.

3．Comprehension

1) Ask the students to say the general meaning of the dialogue.

excellent: very good

eg: All the classmates suppose him to be stupid. But in fact, he is a good student.

be supposed to = should

eg: You're supposed to start work at 8:30 every morning.
