Go through paragraph 1 to 2 quickly and then underline and analyze the key sentence in Para 2.(Before we go any further, its important to make sure you understand what an interview is and why its arranged.)2. Encourage student to find two questions in the topic sentence and answer them.(An interview is a talk between an employer and a potential employee. Via the interview, the interviewer can assess the interviewee to see whether he or she is suitable for the position, while the candidates can find out more about the job and the company, and ask themselves, Is it right for me?)3. Find key phrases in Para 3. (three parts)4. Read the rest of the passage carefully and summarize what to do at the different three stages of an interview.Before the interview (preparation) (2-6)During the interview(7-10)After the interview (11)1.collect information from the website2.Prepare for possible questions3 be confident4 be dressed smartly1.

When going for an interview, a lady can use some hairpins or styling wax to keep her hair neat and tidy. The young ladys hair style is too fashionable and unique. People in the rest of the three pictures all have used wrong body languages. When interviewed, a person should not keep their arms or legs crossed, which is very rude and arrogant behavior, nor could he sink into a chair. Instead, he should keep his back straight to give the interviewer an impression of confidence and politeness)Explanation在全面了解了文章的内容和结构后，及时的复习十分重要。考虑到学习的趣味性，此处设计看图指错的活动可以让学生在轻松的氛围中达到巩固文章重点内容的效果。Step 4 Language points 1.
