Ss: Yes
T: Ok! Let’s listen to the story together, and then think about why did the
writer complain to the people behind him?

once while the students listen without interruption.)
3. Answer the question (The teacher asks the questions above again and
the students try to answer it.)
T: Now, you have heard the story, and you know whether your guess is
right or wrong, right? Who can tell us why did the writer complain to
the people behind him?
4. Play the tape again (The teacher should make the students fully
understand the text. The teacher plays the tape again, pausing after
every sentence to check the students understand. In this way the teacher
will use the past tense consciously and try to make the students realize
that.)

conversation by themselves. )
