Procedures
Hello, class. It is clean in our classroom. Who cleaned the floor yesterday? Who help clean up the classroom yesterday? Oh, by the way, what is “clean up the classroom”? What does it mean by “cleaning up the classroom”? Yes, you are right. “clean up” is a phrasal verb. It means put (things or places) in order收拾干净(扫除).
Let’s make more sentences using this phrasal verb “clean up”.

1a Looking and reading
Look at the bulletin board on page 60 and read about ways by which you could help people. Then list other ways you could help people.

call people back, find out about the flood, take part in planting trees, help provide money for the poor students, be volunteers at the 2008 Olympics |
1b Listening and completing
You are going to listen to several conversations.
While listening, pay attention to the phrasal verbs and the information for completing the sentences on page 60 in the box.
1. I’d like to work outside. You could help clean up the city parks.2. I’d like to help homeless people. You could give out food at the food bank. 3. I’d like to cheer up sick kids.
