Unit 1 Good Friends
Teaching objectives and demands:
The activity is designed to encourage students to think about friends and friendship and to activate relevant vocabulary.
Ask the students to describe a good friend and give examples of situations where friends have helped them. Use the activity as a brainstorming session done either in groups or with the whole class.
Language use: Manipulate listening, speaking practice
Key points:
1. Everyday English for communication.
2. Words and useful expressions
The First Period
Step 1. Warming up
Students are asked to describe themselves and a friend. You can use these questions in at least two different ways. One alternative is to ask the students to think about three words to describe themselves and then let each student tell the class the three characteristics they have chosen. A second alternative would be to ask the students to write down the three characteristics and let other students guess who is being described. As with the first part, the objective is to elicit student language and get the students to think about friends and friendship.
Which words can be used to describe the characteristic?
Brave: courage fearless heroic
Scared : astonish  fearful  frightened  horrified  shocked terrified timid
Loyal: devoted  faithful
Wise: bright   clever  cute  gifted  intelligent  smart   well-learned    witty
Foolish: silly  stupid
Beautiful: attractive  breath-taking  charming cool cute  elegant  eye-catching good-looking
graceful   inviting  lovely   neat  pretty   splendid  stunning
Rich:   wealthy   plentiful
Funning:  amusing   humorous
Happy:  carefree   cheerful contented  delighted  glad  high  merry  pleased
Unhappy: bitter blue discouraged  displeased heavy  miserable  sad  upset
Step 2. Listening
The students will hear friends discuss common problems that may occur in a friendship. The students are asked to identify the problems and suggest solutions. Tell the students that friends sometimes have problems and that it is important to know how to solve the problems. The students will hear three arguments between friends and are asked to write down the problems and suggest possible solutions. It may be necessary to divide the task into two parts; first the students write down the problems as they listen to the tape, and then they discuss possible solutions. The students can also listen to one situation at a time and discuss solutions with the whole class.
Key
1.Peter is often late for football practice. I think that he should try to be on time in the future.
2.Mary usually borrows things without asking and she doesn’t return things on time. She should ask the owner is she wants to borrow something and try to return it on time in the future.
3.Adam borrowed John’s CD player yesterday and now it is broken. Adam can ask his uncle to fix it.
Extension  the students are asked to think of other situations/problems involving friends and role-play or discuss the issues. You may also ask the students to list or discuss what methods are most effective when you want to solve problems in a friendship.
Workbook P85
Listening
Students will hear about problems friends may have and what can be done to solve such problems. The students are asked to write down the solutions mentioned on the tape and to think of other solutions.  Ask the students to listen to the tape and write down the solutions suggested by the speaker. You can help the students prepare by first asking them to think about problems they may have had with their friends. The solutions mentioned on the tape are simple and general. Encourage the students to think of better, more specific solutions. What would they do if they had a quarrel with a friend? How do they talk to their friends about difficult things? How do they keep secrets from becoming rumors?
Listening text   Everybody needs friends. But being a good friend can sometimes be hard work. Learning how to solve problems in a friendship can make you a better friend and a happier person. A common problem between friends is that they don’t know how to talk to each other about difficult things. When they do talk, they often get mad with each other. What can they do? Well, it takes time to learn how to communicate well, and it is important to understand why a friend gets angry with you when you say something. If you know what it is that makes your friend angry, then you can try to talk about the problem in a different way.
Another problem that many friends have to deal with is what to do after one of them gets angry or upset. If friends get angry with each other and say something bad because they are angry, they often find it difficult to apologize after the quarrel. The best way to apologize after a quarrel is simply to start by telling each other that you are sorry and then go from there. A simple apology is often enough and is a good starting point. What about friends who can’t keep a secret? Sometimes it seems impossible to keep a secret from becoming a rumour that everyone knows. Shouldn’t a good friend be able to keep a secret? Perhaps, but it is not always that easy to keep a secret, and telling a secret to someone will often put them in a difficult situation — they may have to lie to other friends to keep the secret. The best way to make sure that a secret doesn’t become a rumor is simply to keep it to yourself — don’t tell anyone.
Answers to Exercise 1
Problem: Friends get angry with each other when they try to talk about something difficult.
Solution: Try to understand your friend/Try to talk about the problem in a different way.
Problem: Friends don’t know how to apologize.
Solution: Start by telling each other that you are sorry and take it from there. A simple apology is often enough.
Problem: Some friends don’t know how to keep secrets.
Solution: Keep your secrets to yourself.
Step 3 Speaking
The students will use the information about the people on SB page 2 to talk about likes and dislikes and to practice giving reasons for their opinions. Tell the students to work in pairs. Ask the students to complete the chart on page SB page 3 and then use the answers to talk about who could be friends and what they like or dislike. Ask each pair to decide who could be friends and give reasons for their decisions. When they have made their decision, ask them to compare and debate their ideas with other pairs. Encourage different answers, including strange ones.

Extension  The students  are asked to make a list of famous people or people they know. The students then use the list to identify likes and dislikes and characteristics and try to determine who could be friends.
Step 4. Talking  Workbook P85
The students are given role cards based on three situations where friends are having problems. They are asked to act out the situations with the “useful expressions”. They are also asked to think of a fourth situation, prepare role cards for it, and act it out. Let the students role-play in pairs. Remind them that they should not write down a dialogue and then simply read the dialogue. Instead, they should try to act out the situation without rehearsing it. If they find it difficult to get started, you can let them prepare by practising part of a situation. You can also help by modeling part of a situation.
Extension  Friends often help each other. Ask the students to work in pairs and list examples of situations where friends can help each other. The students can then write role cards for the situations and act out in pairs.
Step 5. Homework
(1) Finish off the exercises of  Unit1 in the workbook.
(2) Revise the key points of this unit.
(3)List the friend they get to know in class and write down some thing they want to know.

Get the students to think about what it would be like to be alone on a deserted island. The activity is not direct linked to a reading strategy or a structure in the reading, but is intended to be used as a preliminary activity related to the previous parts of the unit. The pre-reading exercise also gives the students an opportunity to practise giving opinions and making decisions.
Explain the situation to the students and give them time to think about what they would bring. The activity should generate different choices and opinions, thus making it a good opportunity for discussion. Tell the students to work in groups. Ask them to describe the usefulness of each item in the box and then decide on the three most useful ones. Make sure that each group member gets an opportunity to speak. Encourage the students to use the structures I think… because…/ I could use it to…/ it could be used to …/ …would be more important than … because … Ask one student from each group to write their answers on the blackboard. Compare answers from different groups and have a short discussion.  e.g. 1.I think a knife would be the most useful item, because I could use it to kill animals and cut the meat. It could also be used to cut wood. 2.I also think a box of matches would be useful because I could use the matches to make fire. If I had a fire, I could cook food, stay warm and keep wild animals away. More importantly, if someone saw the fire, they would come and save me. 3.I think a book would be more useful than a radio, because you don’t need batteries to read. And when I read, I would learn about life and the world and forget my loneliness.
Extension 1: Ask the students to think about how the things could help them in other situations, for example, if they were lost in a desert or a forest. Extension 2: Let the students talk about how they would feel in an extreme situation. How would they feel if they were alone on a deserted island? (angry, desperate, lonely, hungry, worried, hopeful, happy, afraid etc.) What would they do to try to overcome these feelings? Extension 3: Ask the students if they have read books or seen movies about island life, for example, Robinson Crusoe, Cast Away, Six days and Seven Nights, etc. How did the main characters survive? How were they rescued? Extension 4 After the discussion, you can ask the students to consider the similarities and differences between spiritual and materialistic needs, i.e. the things we need and the social interaction we need.
Step 4 Reading Listen to tape and finish the following items
CHUCK’S FFRIEND
Background information on the reading :The film Cast Away, starring Tom Hanks, depicts a man’s struggle with solitude and his journey towards self-knowledge. The film shows us how Chuck, a busy manager who never has “enough time,” ends up on an island with nothing but time. He manages to survive on the island and he realizes the importance of friends and friendship. The text, summarized below, describes his experience and the lessons he learns from his unusual friend, a volleyball he calls Wilson.
Guess the meaning of a word or phrase in the text, tell them to mark the word or phrase. Ask the students to list words or phrases that they don’t know. Explain important ones if necessary, but try offering more context of certain words until the students can guess the meaning. Don’t spend too much time going through the new words.
Suggestion for teaching some of the vocabulary of the reading text:

Strategy
What it means
What is the text about?
CLUES
The picture shows a man who lives like a wild man, alone. He has to take care of himself. The title says that the text is about Chuck’s friend.
What is the text about?
WORLD KNOWLEDGE
If I look at the picture and read the story, I may recall other stories about a man living alone on an island, e.g. Robinson Crusoe. In those stories, the man has to learn to find water and food and take care of himself.
What kind of words will be used?
GENRE
The reading passage is a sort of film review, so I can guess the text will use words about stories, characters, acting and perhaps unusual things that do not exist in the real world.
Cast Away
CLUES Form) + SKIP + CLUES (Context) +LOOK UP
The words are in italics, so I know that it must be the name of a film or a book. I can probably skip the word and look it up in the dictionary later. If I read the text I will learn that the film is about a man who has to live alone on an island, away from his friends, because of an accident, so I can guess that “Cast Away” refers to the man in the story and his situation. The dictionary says to be left alone on an island after your ship has sunk.
play
GENRE +
CONTEXT
Tom Hanks is a famous actor. He “plays” a man named Chuck Noland in the film Cast Away. I can guess that plays means acts.
survive
CONTEXT +WORLDKNOWLEDGE
When airplanes crash (fall down), most people die. If, like Chuck, they don’t die, they go on living, so I can guess that to survive means to go on living.
deserted
CONTEXT
The text tells me that Chuck lands on a deserted island. The text also tells me that there are no people on the island, so I can guess that a deserted place means a place where there are no people.
challenge
CONTEXT
The text tells me that there are different challenges in Chuck’s life — he has to collect water, hunt for food, and learn to survive without friends. I can guess that a challenge is something difficult that you have to do.
share
CONTEXT +
LOOKUP
I know that I like to talk to my friends when I am happy or sad. If I am sad, talking to a friend makes me feel better. I can guess that “to share” happiness or sorrow means something like “tell others about how I feel” or “make others understand how I feel”. The dictionary says that share means to have the same interest or feeling as someone else.
unusual
FORM
I know that usual means “something that happens all the time” or “normal.” If I know that the prefix “un-“ means not, I can guess that unusual means not normal or strange.
such as
CONTEXT
A lucky pen and a diary are examples of favourite objects, so I can guess that such as means for example or “like.”
Summary     Ask them to look at the picture and ask one student to point to the picture and retell the main idea of the text.
1    Chuck Noland, a successful businessman, lands on a deserted island after a plane crash.
2    Chuck has to learn basic survival skills on the island. In order to cope with his loneliness, Chuck develops a friendship with a volleyball he calls Wilson.
3   Five years’ life on the island teaches Chuck the importance of having friends and being a good friend. Wilson may just be a volleyball, but their friendship is real and in some ways better than Chuck’s friendships in the past.
4   Human friends and unusual friends are important in our life. Friends and friendship help us understand who we are and how we should behave.
Step 5 Post-reading  Exx on Page 4    Ask the students to answer questions about the story. e.g. How can a volleyball become Chuck’s friend? What does Chuck learn about himself when he is alone on the island?
Suggested answers to the questions
1  He has to learn how to collect water, hunt for food, and make fire. More importantly, he has to learn to live without friends.
2  He has learnt a lot about himself when he is alone on the island. For example, he has come to realize that friendship is important in his life, that he hasn’t been a good friend, and that he should care more about his friends. (The students may also use present tense, e.g. He learns a lot about himself. He realizes that…)
3  Open for discussion. The students can list basic survival skills.
Let the students discuss the question in groups. The question can be discussed in the form of a role-play where each student represents one of the four people and has to persuade the others that he or she should be given the parachute.
5.Have a short discussion about one or more ideas in the text:
1 ) What can we do to be good friends even if we are very busy?
2 ) Does a successful man or woman need friends?
3 ) The text talks about “giving” and “taking.” How do friends give and take?
4 ) What do friends teach us?
5 ) Is it better to have a human friend or an unusual friend such as a volleyball, a pen or a dog?
Step 6 Language study   Key to “Word study”:
1 honest,   2 classical     3 sorrow/unhappiness   4 argue/quarrel/disagree  5 loyal/good/true
6 hunt for  7 fond of/interested in  8 brave/fearless  9 in order to/ so as to   10 smart
Student-centered vocabulary learning:
It is very important for students to make their own choices and decisions about what they learn. You can help your students by letting them practise making such choices and decisions.
Give the students a few minutes to make a list of words and expressions from the text that they want to learn. The list should not be too long.
Ask the students to show their list to a partner and explain why they chose these words or expressions.
There are many ways to help the students deal with new words. Begin by letting the students try on their own. If the students can discover the meaning of new words themselves—either by using clues, pair work, or group discussion they are more likely to develop a better understanding of the word. More importantly, the process will help them develop strategies and skills that they can use when they encounter new words. The teacher is responsible for providing guidance and assistance. Give the students time, help as little as possible and in a gradual way. Try to model and encourage positive behaviour—the best way to help is to provide clues and examples. If you “explain” the word or simply translate it, you are not giving the students an opportunity to learn.
1  Encourage the students to try different ways to fix the words in their minds.
2  Some words may have different meanings. You can help the students decide which meaning fits the context.
Unit 1 背景材料:Cast Away 荒岛余生
汤姆·汉克斯曾以《费城故事》和《阿甘正传》连续两度获奥斯卡最佳男演员奖殊荣,为自己和别人树立了两座高不可攀的丰碑。经历了一段时间的低潮后,他又再度与赞米基斯(《阿甘正传》的导演)合作,凭借《荒岛余生》一片获得第七十三届奥斯卡最佳男演员奖提名。可惜的是,此奖颁给了罗素·克罗(《角斗士》)。据说,奥斯卡评委们是不会让同一个人在十年之内三度称帝的。但汤姆·汉克斯的演技可以说无可挑剔。为演好此角,他甚至将体重减少了几十斤。如果你有兴趣,可以找来此片一睹被遗弃荒岛前后判若两人的汤姆·汉克斯的模样。
Chuck Noland, who lives in Memphis, is an operation manager at FedEx, an express mailing company. He is hardworking and particularly time-conscious.1 He believes that time is everything: cosmos,2 fortune and misfortune; time is also capable of doing everything, creating and destroying human beings. He has a girlfriend named Kelly Frears, who works at a chemical lab. They love each other very much, though Chuck travels a lot and rarely stays at home. It is Christmas season now. Chuck gets back home and Kelly is very happy to see him. However Chuck is so tired after his business trip to Russia, he is fast asleep when Kelly turns off TV and is about to go to bed.
On Christmas Eve, Chuck, Kelly and his family are having dinner when Chuck's pager3 rings. Another assignment comes. Kelly does not like to see Chuck leave as it is Christmas time now. But Chuck has to go and promises to be back on New Year's Eve. Seeing Chuck off at the airport, Kelly gives him an old watch, inherited from her grandfather, with her photo in it. Chuck is moved and tells Kelly that he will hold on to it for the rest of his life. Then he gives Kelly a small pretty box, saying that this is something special for her and she shall open it on New Year's Eve.
On the way to his destination, the plane Chuck is flying on crashes in the sea due to a heavy storm and a mechanical failure. Fortunately Chuck survives and climbs onto a lifeboat4 after the crash. He still manages to get hold of the watch Kelly gives him.
It rains heavily. Chuck's boat is pushed ashore by waves and lands on a small island the next day. Now the two things he has, Kelly's watch and the pager, are his only possessions. He does not know where he is. There is nobody, not even animals. Chuck writes HELP on the beach with tree trunks. That night Chuck hears strange sound coming from the nearby trees. In the following days, hungry and thirsty, he collects FedEx parcels pushed ashore by waves. Suddenly he hears the strange sound again. He is terrified but then surprised to find the sound is from fallen coconuts.5 The struggle of opening them starts. After trying different ways for a long time, he finally is able to taste his first fruit of success.
One day, climbing onto the top of the mountain on the island, Chuck finds that it is a small and uninhabited island. All of a sudden he spots a man's body near the beach. It is one of the crew.6 Chuck pulls it ashore. With a mixed feeling of fear and sympathy, he hesitantly takes off the man's shoes and flashlight before burying him.
One night in the darkness, he finds a light from afar. It must be a ship. Chuck is very excited and he uses his flashlight for SOS signal. But it is of no use. The light is too weak to be noticed by people on the ship. The following day, Chuck tries to row the lifeboat to the ship. However, big waves turn his lifeboat upside down, and to make things worse, he is injured on the leg. That night there is a heavy thunderstorm. Chuck has to hide himself in a cave. He forgets to turn off the flashlight and the battery runs off.
As the hope of being saved is getting less and less, he faces challenges of survival. An idea strikes his mind, and he opens every and each parcel. Videotapes are thrown away and so are important commercial contracts and documents. A pair of skating shoes, a nightgown,7 and a volleyball are kept. The blades8 are used as knives for cutting, and the nightgown as fishing net. As for the volleyball, Chuck uses his blood to draw a man's face on it and names it "Wilson" who gives him spiritual comfort. He begins to talk to the "man" he has created and Wilson has become his company.
Next he has to start a fire. Without fire, he has not had any food or hot water for days except eating live fish and drinking rainwater and coconut juice. He gets some wood and works on it for a long time. He almost loses his hope until he discovers that air is important to start a fire. He drills the wood in the middle with a stick while blowing some air in between the two pieces. When a fire is finally made, Chuck sings and dances like a tribesman,9 happy for the first time after landing on the island. He has his first meal, a cooked crab.
Four years later, Chuck becomes an experienced primitive man. He still keeps his girlfriend's photo in his cave. Beside the photo, there stands another companion of his for those lonely years—Wilson. Chuck is so used to talking to Wilson, the volleyball, that he regards as his best friend. Once he throws away Wilson in anger and despair but only finds himself more lonely and desperate. So he searches for it and is very excited to get it back. Then he paints Wilson's face with his blood again so that Wilson has a new face.
One day, he finds a part of the plane on the shore, which gives him an idea. He cuts down the biggest tree on the island and makes it into a man's sculpture. He pulls it up to the highest point of the island and erects it there. Then he plans to build a raft and starts working on it.
Chuck at last completes his grandiose10 project and begins to row towards sea with his dear friend Wilson. At the moment of leaving his island on which he has lived for four years, a sense of sadness overwhelms11 him. He has somehow a special attachment to the island, feeling like leaving his sweet home.
On the journey to get back to the human world, he experiences dangers of sharks, thunderstorms, and despair of losing his best and only friend Wilson who accompanies him for the past terrible years. How many days have passed, he has no idea. One day, a large ship passes by and Chuck is finally saved.
However, his return is not a happy one. Kelly is married and has a daughter. She is so confused and lost about his return that it is hard for her to accept a man who has been “dead” for four years. Besides, her husband tries to convince her that not to see Chuck is in everyone's interest.
One rainy evening, Chuck cannot resist any longer the desire to see Kelly again. He goes to Kelly's in a taxi and knocks on her door. When Kelly shows him their car they used to drive, which she kept for all those years along with all their sweet memories, they are getting so emotional that they kiss each other. But Chuck cools down and asks Kelly to go back home.
Now Chuck comes back to his old self and starts working again. Having delivered the last parcel he has kept from the island, he suddenly senses a new beginning in his life.

Excerpts
Chuck Talks to a Friend about His Experience and Feeling on the Island
"We both had done the math, and Kelly added it all up. She knew she had to let me go. I added it up, knew that I'd lost her. 'Cause I was never gonna get off that island. I was gonna die there, totally alone. I mean, I was gonna get sick or get injures. The only choice I had, the only thing I could control was when and how and where that was gonna happen. So I made a rope. And I went up to the summit to hang myself. But I had to test it, you know? Of course. You know me. And the weight of the log snapped* the limb of the tree. So I-I-I couldn't even kill myself the way I wanted to. I had power over nothing. And that's when this feeling came over me like a warm blanket. I knew somehow that I had to stay alive. Somehow I had to keep breathing, even though there was no reason to hope. And all my logic said that I would never see this place again. So that's what I did. I stayed alive. I kept breathing. And then one day that logic was proven all wrong because the tide came in, gave me a sail. And now, here I am. I'm back in Memphis, talking to you. I have ice in my glass. And I've lost her all over again. I'm so sad that I don't have Kelly. But I'm so grateful that she was with me on that island. And I know what I have to do now. I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow, the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?"

10.They asked: “Why did you come here so late?”
Step 3. Grammar  Direct Speech and Indirect Speech
Brief explanation of “Direct Speech and Indirect Speech” (1): Statements & Questions
* use Direct Speech when you want to show the exact words someone said or wrote. Use quotation marks to show that you are reporting the exact words a person used and a reporting clause to include information about the speaker and the situation.
e.g. “I had a great time at the picnic,” she told her mum.
(the direct speech)            (the reporting clause)
*The reporting clause may come before, within, or after the direct speech. When the reporting clause comes after the direct speech, the order of the subject and the verb may be changed, e.g. Jane said/said Jane. This typically happens when the reporting clause is within the reported speech and the subject is not a pronoun.
e.g.  Jane said, “I got a new e-pal. He is from Germany.”
“I got a new e-pal,” Jane said / said Jane / she said, “He is from Germany.”
“I got a new e-pal. He is from Germany,” Jane said / said Jane / she said.
*   Use a comma to connect the direct speech and the reporting clause.
*   When you change a sentence from Direct Speech to Indirect Speech, you sometimes need to change the verb tense. You may also need to change pronouns in order to keep the same meaning.
DIRECT SPEECH
INDIRECT SPEECH
Present
past
Past
past or past perfect
present perfective
past perfect
past perfective
past perfect
e.g. “I’ll take care of you,” Chuck said. à Chuck said he would take care of him.
“Did you get e-mails from your friends?” she asked. à She asked if I had got e-mails from my friends.
“Have you got any e-mails from your parents?” she asked. à She asked if I had got any e-mails from my parents.
*When you use Indirect Speech to report what someone said, you can sometimes change the exact words without changing what the speaker actually said.
e.g.  Wilson asked, “How long have we been in this place?”à Wilson asked how long you had been here.

Pal Restaurant is one of the many restaurants where people come to eat, drink, talk and enjoy music. It is different from other restaurants because its owners are a group of college students. “We run this restaurant to make friends,” says the manager, Hu Ming.
But the students’ parents say that they are unhappy about this. “We can’t stop them but we want them to put study in the first place.” Teachers do not support them, either. Hu Ming says that a teacher has already told him that he should spend more time on study.
All the managers say that running a business takes a lot of time. “We don’t have the money to hire enough waiters or waitresses, so we do most of the work ourselves,” says Liu Tao. “Sometimes we have to skip classes to keep an eye on the restaurant,” says another boy.

3  Answers may vary. Possible titles/headlines include “Study First or Business First?” “Students Running Bar”
Step 2. Integrating Skill
Instruction: The reading describes different kinds of friends. Let the students read the first paragraph and answer questions 1-3, then ask them to think of words that can be used to describe the different kinds of friends. You can also tell the students to choose words from the “5-star friend” activity in the student’s book.
Extension What does it take to make a friendship work? The students can work in groups and select one kind of friendship described in the reading and think about the advantages and disadvantages of such a friendship. What problems might arise? How could they be solved? (The students can refer to the listening activity).
Suggested answers
1     C
2     A fair-weather friend will only like you when you are happy and popular; a forever friend is a true        friend and will help you when you are in trouble.
3     List the characteristics of each kind of friend:
A fair-weather friend     only likes you when you are happy and popular, doesn’t help you when                                              you have problems. (students can add more)
A school friend             studies and plays together with you, sees you in school. (students can add      more)
A forever friend     knows everything about you, always listens to you. (students can add more)
4     Sarah helped Janet overcome her shyness and deal with her classmates. Janet helped Sarah study math.
5     Answers may vary.
6     You can make friends with people from other countries by reading e-pal/pen pal ads in newspapers or on the Internet.
7     One of the advantages of having friends in other countries is that you can learn more about the world. You can also learn more about other languages and cultures. There are a few disadvantages, including the fact that it can be difficult to be friends if you live far away from each other.
8     Answers may vary. One possible interpretation is that all the people around us could be our friends; friendship is a two-way relationship and it takes work and patience to develop a good friendship.
Step 3  Writing
Ask the students to read the e-mail and find out what the girl wants to know more about. Tell the students to think about what they want to tell the girl. As a pre-writing activity, the students can list the things they want to include in the e-mail. When the students have written the e-mail, you can compare what they have written.
ASSESSING
A learner log is a set of questions that will help the students to reflect on how and what they have learnt. The students are asked to rate their “comfort level” and summarize what they have learnt. You can use this as an activity in class or let the students complete the log at home. Throughout the book we offer different assessment tools and we recommend that you try as many of them as possible. Learner logs and other similar assessment tools are simple to use and have a positive effect on the students’ learning and learning habits over time. The students may find it difficult to answer the questions at first, but if you use the log consistently it will help the students pay more attention to their learning strategies and set better goals. Once the students are used to the format and expectations, you can use the learner log and other assessment activities in combination with discussion and goal-setting activities.
Step 4. Post -INTEGRATING SKILLS
Ask the students to read the e-mail ads in Unit 1 and choose one to reply to. Before the students start writing, they should think about what they want to write.
Extension  Use real e-pal ads from the Internet and let the students find a real e-pal from another country. If your students do not have easy access to the Internet, you can simply copy more e-pal ads and bring them to class.
Sample E-mail
Hi Jane:
My name is Xiao Fei and I come from Hunan. Hunan is in the south of China. I am a middle school student and I like speaking English. I read your e-pal ad and I would like to be your e-pal. You wrote that you like rock music. Can you tell me what bands you like? Have you ever heard any Chinese rock bands? You also wrote that you like talking and joking around. I do too! I think you and I can be good friends. Please send me an e-mail as soon as possible.
Xiao Fei
Assessment Criteria:
An e-mail is less formal than a letter and more formal than speaking. A good response to the e-pal ads should include information about who you are and where you are from. Try to encourage the students to use indirect speech to refer to the e-pal ad.
Step 5. Homework
(1) Finish off the exercises in the workbook.
(2)Write an email into my email-box.

A
In the 20th century many new nations have been set up. Though their people
may be free to vote and to elect their leaders, yet unjust opinions, unusual and harmful customs take a long time to die out.
There was a good example of this recently. In a newly republic when a girl of
fourteen refused to marry a sixty-year-old man who had bought her for 40 pounds. Her father had agreed to the marriage when the girl was only four years old and had sold her to a man who already had at least six wives .Just before the marriage ceremony, the girl ran away and wrote to the president of the republic. In her letter, she pointed out that although her country was independent, its people were still not truly free. Some human beings were like slaves, she said, and women could be bought and sold like cows or sheep. She asked the president if he thought this was
right. The president felt sorry for her and he immediately changed the cruel law which allowed women to be bought and sold.
In a way ,the girl had won a victory but she still had a big problem. She
had to find 40 pounds to repay the man who might have  become her husband. There seemed to be n way of finding so much money. Luckily, however, the girl’s story was told on a radio program in Europe and nearly  2,000 pounds poured in from listeners.  The buyer got his money back and the girl was free to marry anyone she chose. She had true freedom for herself and for others like her.

新编高一(上)英语新教材说课材料
SEFC Book I   Unit 7 Cultural Relics
一、教材分析
(一)单元背景分析
随着人们物质文化生活水平的提高,曾经一度被忽视的环境已日益为人们所关注,从某种程度上说,环境的优劣已成为衡量生活质量高低、社会进步程度的标志。相对文物而言,其环境的优劣同样影响文物存在的质量。然而,在环保意识不断提升的今天,文物环境并没有得到应有的关注。
文物保存环境是指文物所在的空间及可以直接或间接影响文物保存的各种自然因素和人为因素。在我国,由于受经济条件的制约,自然环境质量的恶化,加上人文环境的影响,文物劣化速度不断加剧,由于环境造成对文物毁坏的例子屡见不鲜,如石质文物风化、金属文物腐蚀、纸张酸度增加、壁(彩)画褪色等等。
文物是祖先留给我们的无价之宝,是金钱买不到的。日用品坏了,可以再生产制造,文物却不同,它不能再生产,再生产出的东西不是文物,是仿制品或赝品,是没有任何文物价值的。文物一旦损坏,就永远不能复原。没有众多的文物史迹,文明古国也就名存实亡,失去其传统的风采和内涵。文物受损后再修复是被动性的保护措施,而主动性的保护就是创造良好的文物保存环境,防治文物受损才是上策。保护文物环境,实际上就是保护文物古迹本身。整治环境不是一件小事,保护文物环境更不是一件容易的事,惟其艰难,需要文物部门付出更多的努力,同时也需要政府和社会的更多支持。所以,我们要好好爱护文物。
(二)教材内容分析
本单元话题——文物古迹(Cultural relics )历来是全世界较为关注的焦点之一,尤其是在伊拉克战争中,大量代表古人类文明的文物、古迹惨遭破坏,甚至毁灭!本单元所采用话题构成了一个现代意义十足的时尚理念,能够充分唤起学生的参与欲望。单元内容极具生活化,富有活力,体现了本套新教材的一个重要特征,即紧扣时代脉搏,富有时代气息。Listening 开门见山向我们介绍三个cultural sites,并要求根据所听内容熟悉各自的重要性,以及人们为保护这些文物古迹所采取的措施;Speaking则要求我们制作一个即将被送入太空的、内含能代表中国文化的五件物品的“cultural capsule”,让学生成为主体,充分发挥他们的思维、展示他们无限的想象力;Reading通过对俄罗斯著名城市——圣·彼得堡有关史实的介绍,以“A City of Heroes”为标题讴歌了圣市人们为保护历史文物和重建家园所作的一切;Writing进一步要求学生以主人翁的姿态致信报社编辑,反映当地文物古迹遭损受毁的情况,呼吁全社会行动起来,为保护人类文明遗产尽一份力。整个单元自始自终围绕保护代表人类历史与文明的文物古迹这一主线。话题反映了《课程标准》所提出的“向学生渗透人文理念和注重对学生文化意识的熏陶”要求,非常具有现实教育意义,教师利用素材不但可以传授英语知识,而且可以在教学过程中通过渗透的方式将文物保护知识有机地渗透于每堂课的课堂教学之中,培养学生爱护人类文明、保护文物古迹、热爱伟大祖国的思想品德。
(三)教学重点、难点
1. Functional Items:Ways of giving advice or making suggestions.
2. Topic:Talking about cultural relics, including ways of protecting them.
3. Word-formation:“re + V.”(eg. rebuild, replaced, recreate).
4. Key words and expressions:select, represent, in history, be kept as, give in(up), in ruins,
in pieces, bring … back to life, etc
5. Structure (Grammar):The Passive Voice (I) — The Present Perfect Passive Voice
6. Writing:Write a letter to the editor on a certain cultural site, suggesting ways of
protecting the cultural relics.
【 “现在完成时”是中学阶段英语语法教学的重点,也是难点,不过学生在初中阶段已学过现在完成时和被动语态,本单元可以作为一个语法复习巩固来处理。】
总之,本单元通过语法、功能项目与新话题的有机结合,充分体现《新课程标准》“以学生为本,以学生的发展为本” 之要求。
二、教学目标
(一)语言知识目标
本单元要求学生除掌握必要的单词、词组和句型外,同时要求学生掌握一定量表达“提建议或劝告”的交际功能用语,以及现在完成时的被动语态。
(二)语言技能目标
通过本单元的学习,培养学生良好的“听、说、读、写”的技能,使学生能运用所学知识解决相关情景中的一些类似问题,并能结合所给任务,综合运用新旧知识解决问题,完成任务,在此基础上鼓励学生大胆地根据各自的语言基础与能力,有个性地解决问题,就如何最有效地保护文物古迹提出独特的见解。
(三)情感目标
1)激发并提高学习英语的兴趣,乐于接受新鲜事物,勇于尝 试;体现课堂教学“主体者”的身份,积极主动参与教学各环节,成为学习的主人;具有个性,培养创造能力。
2)培养同学之间日常融洽相处的感情,乐于合作,善于与人分享喜好,培养正确的审美观和价值观。
3)培养学生具有良好的文明习惯,具有文物保护意识。
(四)教学策略
1)开放式教学策略。以有限的课堂为载体,带学生进入广阔的知识天地。
2)引趣激趣策略。创设多种情景(境)激发学生的兴趣,只有让学生真正有了参与的欲望,才能点燃他们的思维火花。
3)任务型活动策略。在做中学,在做中练,在做中巩固,往往会使课堂教学产生事半功倍的良好效果。
4)循序渐进和尊重差异策略。由简到繁,由难及易,为有困难的学生搭好梯子,让有能力的学生“跳一跳”摘到果子。
(五)学习策略
1)课前认真预习,利用互联网或其他媒体收集国内外文物古迹以及有关文物保护信息,课后能及时复习。
2)上课勤思考,多动脑,掌握所学词汇,热情、积极、主动参与课堂上各种活动。
3)注意学习方法,及时提问并注意倾听他人意见。
4)确立“学用英语相结合”的思想,用英语开展思维,分析(复述)课文、发表个人看法、提出独到的见解等。
(六)文化意识
1)了解文物古迹所折射出的不同时期、不同地区的特殊文化内涵。
2)培养学生良好的社会公德意识,树立文物保护意识。
三、教学原则
(一)以任务型教学 (Task-based Language Teaching)作为课堂教学设计之理念,具体采用情景教学法(Situational Approach),交际教学法(Communicative Approach),整体语言教学法(Whole Language Teaching)等教学方法。从一定程度上说,人们使用语言是为了完成各种各样的任务,而任务型的教学活动就是让学习者通过运用所学语言来完成各种各样的交际活动。学习者通过表达、沟通、交涉、解释、询问等各种语言形式来学习和掌握语言,实现目标,感受成功。
(二)在教学中突出交际性,注重读写的实用性;同时适时进行情感与策略调整,以形成积极的学习态度,促进语言实际运用能力的提高。
(三)坚持“教师为主导,学生为主体,任务为基础”的教学原则,在课堂教学的不同环节教师应扮演自身作为“设计者,研究者,组织者,促进者,协调者”的角色。
(四)贯彻“教中学,学中用”策略,真正使学生学以致用。
四、教学总体设计
(一)创设情景,营造氛围,体现语言教学的真实性
语言教学的最终目的是培养学生的言语技能。根据语言本身的交际性原则,本单元教学紧紧围绕3P(Presentation—Practice—Production)教学环节,充分运用情景教学法、交际法、启发法等教学方法,让学生在学习过程中充分展示其所学知识。如针对本地区旅游业的不断开发给文物古迹保护所带来的负面效应,要求学生用英语表达如何采取相应的保护措施等。
(二)采用“任务型”教学,培养学生综合运用英语能力
本单元每堂课采用任务型教学,模拟真实生活中的任务,任务的设计注重由简到繁,由易到难,层层深入,形成由初级任务到高级任务并由高级任务涵盖初级任务的循环;同时多样化的任务又由课内延伸至课外,不仅可拓展学生的知识面,更可培养学生的学习兴趣,从而提高学生综合运用英语的能力。
(三)面向全体学生,关注学生的全面发展
经常性地开展pair work、group work、class performance,培养学生的团体合作精神。
五、评价手段与操作方式
我国外语教学的评价方式过多地依赖于终结性评价,无论是学生、教师还是家长,更多地是以学生的外语考试成绩评判学生外语学习能力的高低。这种不科学的评价方式使相当多的学生丧失了学习外语的自信心和积极性,极大地降低了外语学习的效率;同时也造成了课堂教学几乎完全围绕考试内容来进行,语法教学、题海战术充斥外语课堂等不正常的现象。《课程标准》则强调“建立促进学生全面发展的评价体系。评价不仅要关注学生的学业成绩,而且要发现和发展学生多方面的潜能,了解学生发展中的需求,帮助学生认识自我,建立自信。发挥评价的教育功能,促进学生在原有水平上的发展。”同时“建立促进教师不断提高的评价体系。强调教师对自己教学行为的分析与反思,建立以教师自评为主,校长、教师、学生、家长共同参与的评价制度,使教师从多种渠道获得信息,不断提高教学水平。”因此,教学评价既要关注效果,又要关注过程,应是两者的结合,既行为评价(也称非测试性评价)与终结性评价(也称测试性评价)相结合。
(一)行为评价(非测试性评价):本单元通过对学生课堂回答教师提问情况、对话表演的参与程度及学生反应、话题表达(如讨论利弊)的创新性及针对性、与他人的合作协作精神及学生个体的书面作业等行为,对学生的学习能力、学习态度、团体合作精神及创新意识等做出过程性评价。这种评价有助于老师发现每位学生的闪光点,及时肯定、表扬,也可让更多的学生体验成功的喜悦,体现英语课堂教学的“全员”意识,利于培养学生的可持续发展。具体操作时,老师设计如下表格,对学生进行评定。

(二)终结性评价(测试性评价):通过单元检测形式来了解学生在本单元中学习的实际程度,通过整体效果和个体效果的综合分析,利于教师在下一单元教学中及时调整教学策略。
(终结性评价:略)
六、单元教学设计(课时计划及操作步骤)
依据《课程标准》及对学生教学目标的要求,课堂教学中充分利用与教材相配套的教学挂图、录音带、VCD 、投影片、练习册、阅读训练以及多媒体软件等,并以此作为学生学习和教师教学的重要内容和手段。适应信息时代之所需,教师应重视使用一些先进的现代教学技术手段来激发、提高学生学习英语的兴趣,主要运用多媒体辅助教学,以增加教学的直观性和趣味性,加大课堂密度,提高教学效率。本单元计划用六课时完成教学任务与测试评估。具体教学程序设计如下:
