　　Ask the Students to choose a specific kind of animal, and offer their suggestions by using the following expressions:

　　First the teacher practises the dialogue with a good student as an example. Then the class do it in pairs. Get 2 pairs of students to come to the front and demonstrate their dialogues.

　　Step IV Oral practice

　　Ask the students to make similar dialogues to practise making suggestions and replying, using the phrases given.

　　B: I want to keep fish. I‘d like to buy some golden fish. What should I do?
