　　What are these? They are twelve lovely animals.
　　What do they represent? Can you name them? What are they used for? (PPT8) Please talt them in pairs and then share your ideas with the whole class.
　　他们代表什么？叫什么名称？用来做什么？请同座的同学互相讨论，然后与全班进行交流
　　T: All right. These lovely animals map of the 12 animal signs in Chinese culture. (PPT 9) They are used to count years. Besides, people also use the animal signs to know themselves because someone thinks that each animal represents one kind of person’ characters. Do you thinnny? 这些可爱的动物组成了中国的十二生肖。他们被用来计算年份，除此以外人们还用他们来了解自己，预测未来。因为有人相信每一种动物代表了不同类型人物的性格。
　　Step 2. Lead-in   用时：2分钟
　　T: Do you know the animal sign of this year? (PPT 10) It’s the year of the pig. People who were born this year are all under the sign of the pig. So the year you were born in decides your animal sign. 你知道今年是什么年吗？是猪年。在这一年出生的人同属这一属相。由此可见，人们的属相由他们出生的年份所决定。
　　Discussion:  (PPT11)
　　Would you like to talk in the small groups about
　　 what animal sign you were born under? 你的属相是什么？
　　 what kind of person you may be according to the animal sign?  (PPT 4)  根据你的属相你有怎样的性格？
　　These sentences can help you.

　　Step 3.Welcome to the unit A   用时：3分钟
　　T: Do you believe it? Anyway, it’s really interesting. And Western countries use a different way to do the same thing. That is 12 star signs.(PPT 12) However, if you loolly at these signs, you may find some of the signs look like some certain animals. Please point them out and tell their names.
　　你相信吗？无论怎样，这的确很有趣。而且在西方，人们用另一种不同的方法来做这同样的事。这就是我们通常所说的12星座。请仔细观察这些星座，你会发现有些样子很像某个动物，你能指出并说出他们的名称吗？
　　The sign in Picture 1 looks like a horse but it has a man’s head. We call it “cnetaur ”.
　　The sign in Picture 2 looks like a sheep and We call it “ram ”.
　　The sign in Picture 3 looks like a big crab while the sign in Picture 4 looks like a lion.

　　Attention: (PPT 14)
　　T: There are 12 star signs in total because a year is divided into 12 months. Each star sign represents a period of time in a year. The time of your birthday decides your star sign. 因为一年有12个月，所以共有12个星座。每个星座代表一年中的某段时间，你的生日决定你的星座。
　　So,
　　The Chinese animal sign system is based on the year you were born in
　　The Western star sign system is based on the month you were born in.
　　你所属的生肖是由你出生的年份决定的，而你出生的月份决定了你的星座。
