To get the students to understand and compare the differences of table manners between China and Western countries after reading the passage Table manners at a dinner party. 2. To improve the students’ ability of reading comprehension through reading activities and grasp the spirit of the reading passage. Background knowledge: China dining custom &Table manners The main difference between Chinese and Western eating habits is that unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food. Chinese are very proud of their culture of cuisine and will do their best to show their hospitality. And sometimes the Chinese host use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign on politeness. The appropriate thing to do would be to eat whatever it is and say how yummy it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there. Eating No-no’s Don’t stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl. Instead, lay them on your dish. The reason for this is that when someone dies, the shrine to them contains a bowl of sand or rice with two sticks of incense stuck upright in it. So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it looks like the shrine and is equivalent to wishing death upon a person at the table! Make sure the spout of the teapot is not facing anyone. It is impolite to set the teapot down where the spout is facing towards somebody. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting, usually just outward from the table. Don’t tap on your bowl with your chopsticks. Beggars tap their bowls, so this is not polite. Also, when the food is coming too slow in a restaurant, people will tap theirs bowls. If your are in someone’s home, it is like insulting the cook. Drinking Gan Bei !(Cheers!) Alcohol is a big part of eating in Beijing. Especially when dining with Chinese hosts, you can expect the beer to flow freely and many beis to be ganed. (Gan Bei literally means “dry the glass”.) Besides beer, the official Chinese alcoholic beverage is bai jiu, high-proof Chinese liquor made from assorted grains. There are varying degrees of bai jiu, and some are quite good. The Beijing favorites is called Er Guo Tou, which is a whopping 56% alcohol. More expensive and less formidable are Maotai and Wuliangye, which go far about 300-400 yuan per bottle. In comparison, Er Guo Tou costs a modest 4 or 5 yuan per bottle. If you are not a drinker, or don’t feel up to the challenge, just say “wo bu hui he jiu”(I don’t drink.) It is generally acceptable to use coke or tea as an alcohol substitute. Suggestions for teaching: 1. Important and difficult points: To enlarge the students’ knowledge about politeness and impoliteness at table. 2. Suggested teaching methods: A. Pre-reading Activity 1: Lead in Revise how to make apologies in different situations. Make the students know how to use polite expressions properly. Activity 2: Discussion Discuss how to be polite in the following situations in Chinese culture: Greeting your teacher /Receiving a birthday present /Paying a visit to a friend’s house Discuss how to be polite at a dinner party.

To enable the students to learn how to write thank-you letters. Suggestions for teaching: 1. Important and difficult points: 1. To know about how to express gratitude by writing thank-you letters. 2. To enable the students to improve their reading and writing abilities. 2. Suggested teaching methods: A. Reading Activity 1 Brainstorm Talk about good manners in Chinese culture. Collect the students’ opinions about good manners in China. Some basic ones: 1. Get up and give your seat to older people on the bus. 2. Don’t laugh at, stare at or make jokes about disabled people. 3. Don’t start smoking before a dinner is finished. 4. Speak politely, say “please” when you ask for something and “thank you” when you are given something. 5. Say hello to your teachers when you meet your teachers. Collect more from the students. Activity 2 Lead-in Talk about what good manners are if one has enjoyed oneself at a dinner party. Question: You were invited to a dinner party by David and his wife. You enjoyed yourself very much at the party. What shall you do the next day or some time later? Collect answers from the students. Suggested answer: Remind the student that writing a thank-you letter is a more formal way to express one’s thankfulness from the bottom of one’s heart. Activity 3 Reading 1.Ask the students to read the text to find out what kind of letter it is and what it is about. 3. Read the text again to find out the main idea of each paragraph. Para 1: The reason why Amy Zhang should thank them. Para 2: Amy Zhang’s present situation. Para,3: Inquiring Sam and Jenny’s present situation and inviting them. Activity 4 Post reading The teacher may design the following activities for consolidation: Discussion: This activity is a summary to the text and preparation for writing. Divide the students into pairs. Discuss the structure of a thank-you letter. A thank-you letter is usually a short letter with three paragraphs. The topic of each paragraph is as follows: Para 1 Thank the people for what they have done for you with some details you like. Para 2 Tell the people about yourself and what you are doing now. Para 3 Ask the people for some details about themselves and invite them to your place. Close the letter by expressing your thanks again. Activity 5 Language points 1. They make me think of the happy days we spent together. 这是一个含有定语从句的主从复合句。We spent together 是定语从句,修饰the happy days. 关系代词that/which 在从句中作宾语而被省略。 尽管先行词days是表示时间的名词,但关系词仍然使用了that/which 而不是when. 也就是说, 如果先行词为时间名词或地点名词时,引导词可用when/where, 也可用that/which. 关键要分清先行词在从句中作的成分。 如:Do you still remember the days that/which we spent together in the country? I’ll never forget the days when we worked together in the country. 2. At this moment I am very busy with my studies. be busy with/about/at/over e.g. He is busy with/about/over his work. 3. Thank again and I wish you all the best. wish+sb+n./adj, I wish you success. I wish you good luck /lucky. Wish you a happy new year.. Best wishes to you! With best wishes! Give my best wishes to your parents. HOMEWORK: The students are asked to write a thank-you letter based on what they have discussed above, using the tips given in the textbook. Of the four topics given, they may choose one. 教后小记: |
