  1. Warm-up:

Review new words with students. These words are from last class and they are all related to description.

2. Activity 1: Students work in pairs. One student gets a picture and describes it to his/her partner. The partner needs to draw it down. After they finish, they change their roles and draw another picture.

3. Activity 2: Students find new partners and work in pairs. One student will get a Chinese word from the teacher and describe/explain it in Chinese. The other student needs to guess the word. If he/she guesses correctly, their team gets one point. Each team has 90 seconds to describe. The team that gets the most words wins.

4. Closure: Teacher writes down news words that students ask during those activities. Before the end of class, review them together with students.
