Step 1 Revision 1 Check the homework exercises. 2 Ask the Ss a few random questions to revise future time and introduce the topic of the unit. For example: What lessons do you have this afternoon / tomorrow? Are you going to do anything special this evening? What do you think the weather will be like tomorrow? What are you going to do on Saturday evening? Are you planning to do anything on Sunday? Step 2 Presentation SB Page 25, Part 1. Ask questions about the picture, and get Ss to tell you what they think is happening. Teach the new words majority, goods, industry. Read the introduction aloud. Step 3 Reading Say Now read the dialogue silently and find out this information: What is being planned at this company? Allow the Ss a few moments to carry out the task. Check the answer. (A new factory may be built.) See if the Ss can guess the meaning of out of work. Step 4 Dialogue Speech Cassette Lesson 65. Play the tape of the dialogue for the Ss to listen and follow. Go through the dialogue briefly and make sure the Ss understand it. Ask questions like these: What are people at the company talking about? Who is going to make the decision? Why does the company need to build a new factory? What is the difficulty? Why do some people want the new factory to be built? Why are some people against the new factory? Explain that may have plans expresses uncertainty about the future. Play the tape again. This time the Ss listen and repeat. Then let the Ss practise the dialogue in pairs. You may wish to ask one pair to act the scene in front of the class. Notes: a People have been talking of it a lot recently.: Note the Present Perfect Continuous Tense to express an activity which started in the past and is still continuing. b I simply don¡®t know. = I honestly don¡¯t know. c Right now = At this moment d The problem is ¡ it. = Finding land for building the new factory is a problem ( i.e. difficult). e The majority of people = Most people f a number of people = quite a lot of people g out of work = do not have jobs h But some people ¡ built on. = Some people do not want them to build a factory on good farm land. Note the structure not want something to be done. i I can see the problem. = I understand the problem. j is likely to happen = will probably happen k It¡®s quite likely: Quite emphasizes likely and increases the possibility. Step 5 Practice SB Page 25, Part 2. Demonstrate how to make sentences from the table, then get a few Ss to make example sentences. Then let the Ss do this exercise in pairs. At the end get Ss to write down 5 sentences from this table in their exercise books. Wb Lesson 65, Exx. 1 - 4. After Ex. 1 is done orally, get the Ss to write the answers in their exercise books. Both Exx. 2 and 3 should be done in pairs first. Then check the answers with the class. Get Ss to translate the sentences into Chinese and ask them to think if they will be able to put them back into English. Pay attention to the sentence structures. When doing Ex. 4, warn the Ss not to do word for word translation. Special attention should be paid to the sentence patterns and word order. Step 7 Consolidation With a good class you can give the Ss the following phrases and get them to make up a dialogue. Write these phrases on the Bb. I believe you¡¯re right. What are the problems then? What do you think is likely to happen? Write them up on the Bb and demonstrate with a good S how it is possible to make up a dialogue. A: I think the company will buy more land. B: I believe you¡®re right. A: But it isn¡¯t likely that the manager will make a decision soon. B: What are the problems then? With an ordinary class, just practise the dialogue in Part 1 again. Homework Finish off the Workbook exercises. Do Ex. 1 and part of Ex. 4 as written work. Lesson 66 Step 1 Revision 1 Check the homework exercises. 2 Revise the dialogue in Lesson 65, paying special attention to intonation. Step 2 Presentation SB Page 26, Part 1. Teach the new words videophone, fax machine by showing the class a picture or a Bb drawing, or by translation. Read aloud the question at the head of the text. Then say Read the passage and tick those subjects that are mentioned in the text. Allow the Ss enough time to read the text and compare their answers. Answers: All the subjects are mentioned in the text. Step 3 Reading Wb Lesson 66, Ex. 1. Go through the exercise and make sure the Ss know what to do. Let them read the whole passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question, working in pairs or small groups. Check the answers with the whole class. This is a good time to deal with any language problems. See if the Ss can guess the meaning of new vocabulary such as central, convenient, transport, etc. Notes: a Throughout the world = all over the world b more and more = increasingly c glasshouses = structures of metal frames and glass that are used for the growing of flowers and vegetables, particularly in colder countries. d It is possible ¡ 1¡æ.: For example, by raising the temperature, you will increase your heating costs. But you might also increase the yield of your crop. If the extra revenue is greater than the extra costs, then you turn the heating up! e Lights will go off: Lights will be switched off when an automatic sensing device notices that a room is unoccupied. f The idea ¡ many people. = Many people are surprised by the idea that computers can recognize human voices. g to work out = to calculate h to work out the best distance between trains. = to work out the safe distance between trains travelling in the same direction along the track. Computers also control the signalling for these trains. i In the fields of = In the areas of j It is possible ¡ printed.: Note the structure have something done. k programs: A program for a computer is spelt -am; programmes for theatres and TV are spelt -amme. l worldwide: an adjective or adverb m The next step is to search = The next thing which you can do is search Step 4 Reading aloud Speech Cassette Lesson 66. Play the tape of the passage for the Ss to listen and follow. Play the tape of part of the dialogue once more; this time the Ss listen and repeat. Pay attention to the sentence stress of longer sentences. SB Page 27, Part 2. Note: This part not only covers new vocabulary in the text, but it also provides Ss with more examples of Noun Clauses, the focal structure of the unit. Spend a little time on highlighting this structure to Ss before they begin to have this practice. Say Look at the first few sentences carefully. Number 1: The possibility was not mentioned. Which possibility? The possibility that people would have to ____rooms. Number 2: The answer was not true. Which answer? The answer that the ____ had not been received. Number 3: The belief was proved in the research. Which belief? The belief that people find it more ___ to shop on Sundays. Then get the Ss to do this exercise individually, checking their answers in pairs at the end. Note the spelling of well known: This is well known. (Predicative) It is a well-known fact. (Attributive) Answers: 1 share 2 goods 3 convenient 4 industry 5 majority 6 voice 7 central 8 skill 9 labour 10 mail Step 6 Workbook Wb Lesson 66, Ex. 2 helps the Ss to learn how to use some of the new words. Checking the answers, you may get the Ss to translate the sentences into Chinese. Note the inverted order of the first sentence. Step 7 Consolidation SB Page 27, Part 3. Do this note-making exercise either in class or for homework. The aim is to get the Ss to read the text again closely and extract the relevant information. Get the Ss to check their notes in pairs when they have completed this activity. Answers: AREA¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ USE Farms¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ control the growing conditions of plants Banks¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ change money; pay bills Houses¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ central computer to control heating and hot water recognize someone¡®s voice Transport¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ work out the best distance between trains operate trains Education¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ store texts Health and research keep information records Industry Homework Read the passage again and complete the notes in Part 3. Finish off the Workbook exercises. Lesson 67 Step 1 Revision 1 Check the homework exercises. 2 Ask the Ss to tell each other ten ways in which computers will be used in the future (books shut). Then ask pairs to tell the rest of the class. Write this information up on the Bb in note form. Step 2 Preparation for reading SB Page 28, Part 1. Get the Ss to talk about the picture. Ask Do you think it¡¯s necessary for the young lady to buy so many clothes? What do you think of the meal these people are having? Is it very expensive or just ordinary? Let them speak out their views. Tell the Ss Today we¡®re going to read another text about the future. But this writer has different opinions. Read the passage quickly to find the answer to this question: What three things does the writer suggest in this text? (Spend less money; look after your health better; use less energy.) Step 3 Reading Now let the Ss read the passage carefully. Go through it with the Ss. Ask some questions: What is wrong with new possessions? How much energy does the USA use? What percent of the world¡¯s population does it have? Deal with any language problems. Notes: a new possessions that they do not need: for example, goods for the house, extra clothes, luxury goods, etc. b a waste of: Point out the use of waste of in this expression c Many people, both young and old, are against this expensive way of life. = Many young and old people do not agree with this way of living. d the basic needs of the world¡®s population should be satisfied = the basic needs should be provided for e Possibly ... it is now. = At present some countries are much wealthier than others. It is possible that in future the wealth will be distributed more equally. f Take health for example. = Consider health for example. g They do this: refers to the previous sentence h An electric hair drier blows out hot air so that you can dry your hair more quickly after washing it. Step 4 Discussion SB Page 28, Part 2. Prepare for this discussion by writing these phrases on the Bb, which were practised in Lesson 65. will (not) may (not) is (not) likely to It is possible that ... will (not) It is (not) likely that ... will (not) Put the class into groups of four. Join a good group and demonstrate how you can discuss the first question, using the phrases on the Bb. Develop the discussion so that people do not just make isolated sentences, but agree or disagree with each other and give reasons for their opinions. Step 5 Language study SB Page 29, Part 3. Highlight the structure of the example sentences in the same way as you did in Lesson 66, Step 5. Say Books open. Sentence 1. The idea surprises many people. Which idea? The idea that computers Will recognize human voices. Sentence 2. The possibility is often discussed. Which possibility? The possibility that the majority of the labour force will work at home. Read through the example sentences and get the students to translate them into Chinese. Step 6 Practice SB Page 29, Part 4. Explain that Ss have to translate the part in Chinese into English. In order to make sure that every S has to make an effort, get Ss to write out their translations individually in their exercise books. They can then check them in pairs. Answers: that the majority had voted for the plan/programme that the meeting was delayed/would be delayed that the transport of the goods cost too much that the drawings had arrived by mail that the company will make a greater effort that the prices of cars will go down Step 7 Practice SB Page 29, Part 5. Explain to the Ss that when they have completed this word puzzle, they will discover ten hidden words that run either vertically or horizontally. Make sure that they search the texts for the words rather than refer to the list of new words at the back of the SB. Get Ss to do as much as they can individually. Then at the end they can help each other to complete the puzzle. Answers: Step 8 Workbook Wb Lesson 67, Exx. 1 - 3. For Ex. 1, the Ss are required to form questions with the given words first and then do questions and answers in pairs. Finally check the answers with the class. For Ex. 2, let the Ss work individually first. Then get them to complete the sentences and put them into Chinese. If there is time, take up Ex. 3. Homework Finish off the Workbook exercises. Write down the questions in Ex. 1. Lesson 68 Step 1 Revision 1 Check the homework exercises. 2 Get the Ss to tell each other ten things that they think will/may/may not happen in the future. To prepare for this, write the phrases on the Bb that you used in Lesson 67, Step 4. Remind them of the topics which they discussed in groups in Lesson 67, Part 2. When they havefinished, get pairs of Ss to tell you one thing each. Write them on the Bb in complete sentence form, asking for any corrections that are necessary as you do this. When you have finished, get the Ss to copy these sentences into their exercise books. Step 2 Preparation for listening SB Page 30, Part 1. Wb Listening, Unit 17. Tell the Ss This whole unit has been about the future. Now we¡¯re going to listen to a news broadcast for the year 2035. Then read the introduction aloud. Read aloud the task in Ex. 1 and make sure the Ss understand what to do. Step 3 Listening Listening Cassette Unit 17. Do each exercise in turn. Play the tape, then let Ss discuss their answers in pairs. Play the tape again if necessary, then check the answers with the whole class. Listening Text You are going to listen to a news broadcast for Saturday, the 14th of April, 2035. There are three news stories. Here is the news for Saturday, the 14th of April. The first group of Chinese tourists have returned from the moon. A group of 25 tourists landed last night at the Space Research Centre in Qinghai Province. They had been in space for one week. Their trip included a visit to three different places on the moon. Each of the tourists paid one and a half million yuanfor the trip. A new speed record has been set for the underground railway that joins Chengdu and Xi¡®an. The railway was completed last year. Yesterday a train reached a speed of 821 kilometres per hour. The train was carrying 1,200 passengers. The journey of 842 kilometres took one hour and eleven minutes. A new type of lemon tree for cold countries has been developed by the Agricultural Research Service of Liaoning Province, where research work has been going on for seven years. The new lemon tree will be grown in cold parts of China. Normal lemon trees are killed when the temperature falls below 0¡ã Centigrade. Answers: Ex. 1: agriculture, tourism, transport Ex. 2: 1 Qinghai 2 Chengdu and Xi¡¯an 3 Liaoning Ex. 3: 1 One week; One and a half million yuan; the moon 2 821kph; 1200; 842 km; 1 hr 11 minutes 3 A new lemon tree; can grow in cold countries; 7 years Step 4 Checkpoint Go through Checkpoint 17. Revise Noun Clauses, referring to the grammar notes at the back of the Students¡® Book. Practise the useful expressions and deal with any language points that you or the Ss wish to raise. Note: The Noun Clause structures practised in Book 2 are complex structures. In current English many of these structures are only occasionally used in careful writing by educated native speakers. It is therefore not realistic to expect Ss to produce these structures orally or in writing. However, they should be given practice in completing sentences and making sentences from a table, as in the type of exercises included in the textbooks. Step 5 Test Use this exercise on Noun Clauses. Get the Ss to write down 5 sentences from each of these two tables. If it is necessary, make one. The reason¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ why his voice¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ was unknown. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ sounded different The idea¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ why she refused¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ surprised us. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ his request The news¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ that the boy won¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ was clear. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ the gold medal ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ that my uncle ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ made us sad. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ was dead ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ that computers will¡¡¡¡¡¡ surprises ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ recognize our voices¡¡¡¡ everybody. I agree with¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ that space travel ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ will be cheaper. I don¡¯t agree¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ the opinion¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ that nothing with¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ will change. I don¡®t like¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ the idea¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ that computers will ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ control our lives. I can understand¡¡ the possibility¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ that computers will ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ bility¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ recognize our ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ voices. I can¡¯t understand¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ that trains will ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ have no drivers. Step 6 Writing SB Page 30, Part 2. The aim of this activity is to check progress and to see whether the Ss can write accurately about the future at the sentence level. Ask Ss for examples for the first two sentences. Then get Ss to complete these sentences, either in class or for homework. There are no fixed answers for this exercise. Step 7 Writing SB Page 30, Part 3. The aim of this activity is to check progress and to see whether the Ss can write a connected paragraph on a given topic. They should also be able to organize their material into a logical sequence, and to join sentences together. Do as much preparation in class as you think necessary for your particular class. If your Ss need a lot of help, follow this procedure: Ask for suggestions from the class and write their ideas on the Bb. Get Ss to practise their paragraph orally in pairs, paying attention to ways in which they can link sentences together. Get the Ss to write the paragraph in their exercise books. Sample paragraph: Our village, which has a population of 12;000 people, is close to a big river. In the central part of the village there is a railway station. This is very convenient if we want to travel to the nearest big town to do some shopping. Outside the village there is a park by the river, where we often go in summer. In the evenings families sit on the grass, while the children play, because it is too hot to stay inside. Step 8 Workbook Wb Lesson 68, Exx. 1 - 3. Do the first sentence to show how to join a pair of sentences into one. Then get the Ss to practise in pairs. Check the answers with the class and write them down on the Bb. Translate them into Chinese making sure the Ss understand them.Do Ex. 2 in the same way as Ex. 1.Ex. 3 is a writing exercise. If there is no time, you may ask your Ss to do it later as revision work. Homework Finish off the Workbook exercises. Finish writing the passage ¡°My home village¡± or ¡°My hometown¡±. Do Ex. 2 as written work. |
