Here are severa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l pictures. Are you clear what they are about Do you know how to express them in English Now discuss and guess them in pairs or groups. In a few minutes, I’ll ask some students to talk about them.
For your reference:

② A huge monster ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )like a gorilla, but looks taller and stronger than a gorilla. You may find the same creature in the film King Kong.
③ A kind of animal l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ike a hugedragon in ancient Chinese legend. It lives in the water.

(Ask Ss to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )look at the four pictures on page 51 and give some descriptions in their own words.)
Here are severa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l pictures. Are you clear what they are about Do you know how to express them in English Now discuss and guess them in pairs or groups. In a few minutes, I’ll ask some students to talk about them.
For your reference:

S: Let me have a try. There is a monkey which is standing up there.
S: I think of it as a Chinese dragon.
S: In my opinion, it is the Loch Ness Monster.
