Step1: Lead-in

Show the first picture and tell the students that computers could be put into androids or robots. Present “android”.

   Tell the students: Androids are always with us! The students may disagree. Show pictures of Atom and Doraemon. Say: they are androids with magical power.

    Continue to show pictures of nursery maid androids and tell the students androids can be made to look after humans. Then ask: But can you imagine androids can play football? Maybe you are curious about it. I will show you a video that androids play football.

    Let the students watch the video and tell them: Today I would like to introduce an android family member to you .His name is Andy. Present the reading passage’s topic: Andy---the Android.
