Write the above expressions on the Blackboard.

T: But actually teenagers have to obey some rules they don’t like. What should you allowed to do and not to do is a big problem. Today we’re going to learn how to talk about it. As a teenager, do you think you should be allowed to drive?

S1: I think so.

T: Can you tell us your opinion?

S1: I think we are old enough. We should learn to drive.

T: Thank you. And what about you?

S2: I don’t think we should be allowed to drive, because most of us are busy with our study. We don’t have enough time to practice.

Ask for more examples from other students and write A is for agree or “D” is for disagree.

Step4 Listening

T: Now please look at the picture. From the three small pictures, what can you guess the girl wants to do?

S: She says she’s going to the mall with John. Because John just got his license. Perhaps she wants to buy a nice T-shirt. But I can’t understand Picture 3 clearly. I can only be sure it’s something about piercing ears or earrings.

T: Excellent. From the pictures we can just guess the main ideas. After listening to the recording, we can catch their meanings in detail. So listen to the tape carefully.

Play the recording for the first time.

T: All right. Most of you have circled “ T ” or “ F ” in the blanks. Now I’ll play it a second time, you may check your answers.

Step5 Practice

T:Please look at the statements in activity 1a and make conversations in pairs. The phrases in the box below can help you. First practice them in pairs.

Move around the class and check their work.

T: (a few minutes later) Now who’d like to share your ideas with others? Gentlemen first, please?

eg 1:

S1: I think teenagers should be allowed to go out with their friends.

S2: I agree. They are old enough. They can look after themselves well.

T: Great. Thank you. You’ve told us you can look after yourselves. Another pair, can you tell us something else?

eg 2:

S1: I think students should be allowed to do homework with friends.

S2: I disagree. They talk instead of doing homework.

T: Very good! Thank you very much. Do your parents allow you to study with your friends?

Encourage them to talk more about the reasons and their own opinions.
