Teaching procedures:
Step 1. Revision
(1) Check the homework exercises of the previous unit.
(2) Start a topic about the French history to lead to the French Revelation.

Step 2. Presentation
SB Page 67, Part 1. Talk about the picture and get the students to tell what they think ids happening. Teach the new words if necessary. Ask the students to tell you what you say when someone is saying goodbye to you. Write the suggestions on the blackboard.

Step 3. Listening
Now listen to the dialogue and find out this information:
1What was the situation when the first dialogue happened? (Susan was saying bye to Mrs. Zhu)
2Who worked in a foreign country, in which country? (Susan, in China)
3Who will dine Susan? (Xia Su)
Pick out some students to answer the questions loudly to the rest of the class.

Step 4. Reading and explanations
Now get the students to read the dialogue in pairs and underline the difficulties and the key points that they think.
(1) I’d also like to congratulate you on your good work in these two years. 我也想祝贺你这两年来所作出的成就。
congratulate sb. on sth. 意为“因为……祝贺某人；暗自庆幸”，如：
We congratulated Michael on his success. 我们祝贺迈克尔的成功。
I congratulated myself on escaping being knocked down by the car.
我暗自庆幸自己没被那辆车撞倒。
比较名词congratulation的用法：
Let's offer Eileen our congratulations on her winning the first prize.
让我们祝贺艾琳获得一等奖。(注意congratulation常用复数形式)

(2) I’m afraid I'm still not very good at it, though. 虽然如此，恐怕我的汉语还是不太好。
过去我们学习过though作为从属连词引导的让步状语从句。在本句中though是副词，意为“虽然；但是”。试比较两种though的用法：
Though it was raining hard, the players didn't stop the game.
虽然雨下得很大，球员们没有停止比赛。
It was raining hard. The players didn't stop the game, though.
雨下得很大。虽然如此，球员们并没有停止比赛。
He didn't attend the ceremony though he said he would.
虽然他说他要参加开幕式，但是他并没有来。
He said that he would attend the opening ceremony, he didn't, though.
他说他将参加开幕式，可他没来。生词表:
