■Warm up by getting to know about cartoon.
Hello, class. Look at the picture. What is that? Right. It is a cartoon. What is a cartoon then?
A cartoon is a drawing in which features of the subject are exaggerated and stylized, usually in a humorous way. An animated movie, composed of many drawings, is also sometimes called a cartoon. Cartoons may depict humans, but many also depict animals, monsters, or non-living object given human-like characteristics, such as human emotions and the ability to speak.
■Listen and read.
On page 72 in the box is a conversation among Lingling, Daming, Mr. Jackson and Betty. They are talking about cartoons.
Before we listen to it, let’s go on to read it first. While reading, try to: cut/ the sentence into thought groups, study the predicative, darken the connectives and underline all the useful expressions. (阅读过程中，断开/意群，观察谓语构成，圈出连词，摘录短语搭配。)
Useful expressions (有用的短语搭配)
a cartoon story, imagine every drawing in the cartoon, have lots of jokes, no laughing matter, make …laugh, over there, have a word with…, get…on…, good news, go over, speak to…, in deep trouble, take a photo, see the flash, a smart idea, a happy ending
