3. Period Seven:
? Step One: Working with words Review some of the language points learned in the last period before asking students to do the vocabulary exercise to build their word power.
This step shall take not more than 10 minutes.
A. Complete the following sentences with appropriate words in the text. 1.board 2.platform 3.hail 4.deposit 5.terminal 6.blocking 7.credit 8.responsile B. Put the following expressions into Chinese.
1.急救站 2.加油站 3.高速公路入口 4.禁止入 5.人行横道线 6.限速
? Step Two: Research project
This research task shall be assigned as homework. Yet before that, go through the exercise and make sure the students know what to do after class.
First tell them the purpose of the task, that is, to go to the Internet and find solutions to address the urban transportation problem.
Second give students instructions on how to search for related information via the Internet.
Then tell students to compare and sort out some effective solutions to the urban transportation problem and prepare an oral presentation which should be given next class. Remind students that this is a team research project, thus they are encouraged to show team spirit in doing the project.
This step shall take not more than 10 minutes. Reference research result:
In the case of San Diego, removing the freeway and stopping building highways seem to be a practical way to solve transportation problems. Freeways and highways intrigue people’s false expectation of easier access to and from the city center. Therefore the number of people owning private cars increases, which makes the road conditions worse and worse. If the freeways were removed and highways no longer be built, fewer people would plan to buy cars. The awareness of severe road conditions will help ultimately eradicate the transportation problem. Hopefully, Shanghai’s transportation problem could be solved if the measures San Diego is currently implementing were adopted to address the concern in question.
? Step Three: Listening-based writing
Before playing the recording, go through the instructions quickly and make sure that the students know what to do. On top of that tell them to browse the mind map which will not only help them get a better understanding of the listening material but help them with the writing as well.
After playing the tape twice, give them a few minutes to summarize the traffic accident. Then ask three to four students to read out their writing.
After checking their answers, show them the tapescript to deepen their understanding of the listening material and the reference answer to improve their writing.
Finally introduce to them the basics for writing a traffic accident report to further enhance their writing skills.
This step shall take not more than 20 minutes.
Reference answer A Traffic Accident
The accident took place last Friday morning. As a bus pulled into the station, people fought their way to the door. As they were thronging onto the bus, a pregnant woman was pushed down to the ground nearby the front door of the bus. She was bleeding all over. Someone called the ambulance which rushed the woman to hospital. People didn’t line up, but rather, elbowed their way to get onto the bus, and this constitutes the cause of the accident. The indirect cause
lies in the pressure placed by the modern society on people who are always in a hurry. The narrator was shocked at the sight of the woman lying down on the ground bleeding. The narrator wishes that people would have the peace of mind to prevent any traffic accident. Tapescript A Traffic Accident
Last Friday morning I was standing at the bus stop waiting for Bus No. 375. Because several lines passed by the station and it was rush hour, many people had gathered there before next bus came, some standing off the pavement, others sitting on the bench.
A bus pulled into the station at last. Before I recognized the number of the packed bus, people already pushed and elbowed their way to the door. Suddenly I heard somebody shout “Help! Help!” Most of the people stopped moving and looked toward where the voice came from. To our dismay, a pregnant woman was lying on her back on the road by the front door of the bus, her eyes wide open, and bleeding all over. I was too shocked to run to her rescue. Soon an ambulance came and took the woman to hospital. Buses came and went, but I just stood there, lost in thought.
Probably because time and tide wait for no man, people in modern society are usually in a hurry, lest they should be left behind and even dismissed. There can never be peace of mind. Consequently, the number of traffic accidents is increasing all the time. If people were put under less pressure from their work and if most people were aware of the importance of traffic rules, many traffic tragedies would never occur or repeat themselves.
III. Part 3 Enhancement of Language Abilities
Period Eight:
? Step One: Homework check Ask three to four students to make the oral presentation of the research project in front of the class. After each presentation, encourage students to ask the speaker questions regarding the project.
And then show them the reference research result to help them improve their own.
Finally have them hand in the research result after class. This step shall take not more than 15 minutes. ? Step Two: Get your pronunciation right
First ask students to do Exercise A. They should listen and repeat after the recording sentence by sentence. And then explain the intonation of the Yes-No questions to enhance the students’ understanding of this pronunciation skill.
After that have students do Exercise B for more practice. In doing Exercise B, ask some students to read out the given sentences to the whole class.
This step shall take not more than 10 minutes.
? Step Three: Reading skills In this step, for questions 1-7, mark Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage; N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage; NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. After checking the answers, go through the information on reading skills given in the box after the passage, and make explanations when necessary.
This step shall take not more than 15 minutes.
