The teacher is advised to talk about the meaning of the word “Heritage”.

Boys and girls, before our listening, let’s work in pairs and discuss the meaning of the word “Heritage”.

What does the word “heritage” mean? Share your ideas about your understanding of it and you can use examples to illustrate your meaning.

Heritage means the traditional beliefs, values, customs, etc. of a family, country or society.

For example, the Great Wall is the heritage of China.

Step 2: Prediction

After their small talk, the teacher can ask students to predict what the listening text is about by looking at the pictures.

The listening text is probably about how to protect a famous heritage site by some students.

Step 3: Summary of the main idea

Then play the radio which is about an interview about an international youth cultural heritage protection project. And after finishing listening for the first time, the students need to solve the following tasks.

Youths from seven countries are working together to protect cultural relics on Mount Tai.
