My smart students, according to this passage, can you change another way to review what we’ve learnt. Wow, I heard Lily said: make a report. I think it’s a good idea. Can you share how to play. Well. You said: “Six students in each group, then we will design a better way to get to school for our group members according to our distance from home to school, the school transportation he/she can take and the weather etc.” Perfect!!! I am amazed. Ok, go ahead, my lovely students. Eight minutes for you. Time is limited. Ok, which group wants to be the first one? This time, I will invite one representative from each group to make a report. Ok, Abby, I see you. Please come to the front and share your group work.
