Warming up
第一步：合上书本，要求学生说出对英语有多少了解（How much do you know about the English language?）让学生自由回答（It is the official language of many countries and the UN; It is learned by people in many non-English speaking countries; etc. Answers may vary）；
第二步：向学生介绍世界上两种主要的英语：VOA（Voice of America）英语和BBC（British Broadcasting Corporation）英语, 如有足够的资料，可以播放两段录音,让学生比较这两种英语在语音上的区别，例如hot, not, dance, answer 等；
第三步：引入英式英语和美式英语在词汇上的区别，除了课本里提到的例子，向学生提供更多英式英语的单词让学生说出相对应的美式英语单词；
例如：film, autumn, rubber, tyre, theatre, colour, ...
( movie, fall, eraser, tire, theater, color ...)
第四步: 可提前向学生介绍第12页的 Activities 4 and 5. 先让学生独立完成习题4，然后核对答案。至于习题5，则让学生听录音跟读，让学生体会英式英语和美式英语在词汇上的不同，并注意重音和语调。
