Step Ⅰ Reading (P72)

The passage tells us a story about the experience of a woman who was trapped in the flood. After the students read the story, get them to retell the story and invent an ending to the story.

T: Look at the two pictures on page 73. What is happening?

S1: A woman was trying to escape from a flood. She was climbing up to the roof with her baby on her back. She also took her cat and dog along. It's still raining heavily. The water level had risen to the window. Sitting on the roof, she put on the raincoat and waited for rescue.

T: Now let's read the text and find what happened to the woman.

After reading.

T: Was Sara rescued? The story still needs an ending. Suppose you are Sara and imagine what happened at last. Then retell the story to your partners.
