　　The answer could be Good idea! or No, let's make it half past.

　　Ask What can you, see in the picture? Teach This boat looks like a duck. This one looks like a chicken, pointing to the appropriate boats. Ask Do they go in a boat? Let the Ss read the dialogue quickly to find the answer.

　　Play the tape for the Ss to listen and repeat.

　　Ask comprehension questions, such as Are English people good at boating? What do the boats look like? Then ask some Ss Are you good at boating? What are you good at?
