Step Ⅱ Part 1
This activity is designed to activate students’ background knowledge before attempting the reading.

S1: I think cool means that you can always wear the latest fashions.
S2: Whenever I take an exam, I will get the first. I think it’s cool
Say, Now ask your classmates what "cool" means to them. As they work, walk around the room checking progress and offering help as needed.
