Check the students’ homework to see whether they have mastered what they learnt last class. Check their group work — debate.
T: Have you finished your homework — prepare a debate in groups? Ss: Yes.
T: Which groups would like to come to the front and act out your debates? Choose one as your representative. Ask a representative in each group to state their group’s opinion.

A: It is true that no one knows exactly what the effects of global warming will be. But don’t you think it will be too late for us to take action after the bad effects come out? Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. B: ...
