Step 2.  Presenting　
From the above examples, we can get two groups of words: help→ helpful→ helpless;             use→ useful→ useless
A suffix is a letter or a group of letters that we add to the end of a word to form a new word. The suffix ‘-ful’ means ‘full of’ or ‘having a quality of’.
The suffix ‘-less’ means ‘without’, ‘not having a quality of’.
We can add ‘-ful’ or ‘-less’ to some nouns to form adjectives.
eg: 1. Eating too much is bad / harmful for our health. 2. It’s harmless to swim in winter.
Tell students that some nouns can take either suffix, some can only take ‘ –ful’, some can only take ‘-less’ and some others can take neither.
Work in pairs to finish Part A on page 30. If students are not sure, they can use a dictionary for help.
Step 3.  Practising
1. Finish the table with adding ‘-ful’ or ‘-less’. Remember that not all the words can have ‘-ful’ or ‘-less’ as suffixes.

We have already learned that people can take the roller coaster in the Space Mountain. It’s really exciting. That’s why there are many people waiting outside. The line of people is endless. You have to wait for a long time. Maybe you have no hope to get in. (Maybe it’s hopeless for you to get in.)
We have also known that the parade is the best part of the day. People are very happy and cheerful. The performers all wear different colors of customs. They are colorful.
