Purpose: This activity aims to activate students' prior knowledge and get them interested in the topic of learning about new friends. By thinking about the information they want to know about new people, students can better relate to the content of this section.
Presentation (10 minutes)
1a Picture Labeling: Hand out the picture cards related to 1a to students. Instruct them to match the words "parrot", "guitar", "tennis", "Beijing roast duck", etc. with the corresponding pictures on the photo boards of Pauline and Peter. Walk around the classroom to offer help and guidance. After students finish, ask several of them to come to the front of the class and show their answers, explaining why they made those matches.
1b Reading and Matching: Next, distribute the printed posts of Pauline and Peter to students. Tell them to read the posts carefully and match the students with their photo boards in 1a. While they are reading, remind them to pay attention to the key information such as where the students are from, what they have, and what they like. After they finish reading and matching, check the answers together as a class. Explain some new words and phrases in the posts, like "even", "live in", etc. Write them on the blackboard and provide examples for students to understand better.
Purpose: Through the 1a activity, students can predict and have a preliminary understanding of the information about Pauline and Peter. The 1b reading activity helps students verify their predictions, improve their reading skills, and understand the basic information of the two characters.

They can discuss and check each other's answers. Then, select some pairs to report their answers to the class. Explain any difficult points or misunderstandings that students may have. For example, when talking about hobbies, some students may be confused about the correct verb forms. Use this opportunity to review the usage of "play + sport" and "play the + musical instrument".

Encourage them to use the learned sentence patterns, such as "I am like Pauline because I also like...", "I am different from Peter because I...". After the group discussion, invite some students to share their comparisons with the whole class. Summarize the content of this class, emphasizing the importance of using English to introduce ourselves and understand others, as well as respecting cultural differences.
