Teaching Procedures
Step 1 Revision
T:Good morning,boys and girls!Last class I assigned you to collect some information about body language in different cultures.Who would like to have a try?
S:Different cultures often have different forms of behavior by sending the same body signals.Nodding one’s head is generally meant to show agreement “yes”,but to Nepalese,Sri Lankans,some Indians and some Eskimos,it means not “yes”,but “no”.When an American rubs his nose,it may mean his disagreeing with someone or rejecting something.
...
T:Good job!Everyone has done a very good job!

Step 3 Find sentences
T:OK,so much for the homework.Today,we are going to learn the v.-ing form used as adverbial and attribute.First,I will give you 4 minutes to read the text again on Page 25 and find out all the sentences with the v.-ing from.
After 4 minutes,ask some students to read out the sentences they’ve found.
T:OK,time’s up.Who have found out the sentences?
S:They are visitors coming from several countries,who are interested in the development of business in China.
S:Four people enter looking around in a curious way.
S:This is an exciting experience for you,so you stand watching and listening.
S:You see her step back appearing surprised,and take a few steps away from Mr Garcia.
S:The visitor from Japan comes in smiling at the same time as George Cook from Canada.
S:His nose touches Mr Cook’s moving hand,and they both apologize.
S:Not all cultures greet each other the same way,nor are they comfortable touching strangers or being too close or too far away.
S:In the same way that people communicate with spoken language,they also express their feelings using unspoken “language” through keeping physical distance,actions or posture.
S:Most people around the world now greet each other by shaking hands,but some cultures use other greetings as well.
S:She arrives hurrying,recognizes Mr Garcia’s smiling face,and then they shake hands and kiss each other twice on each cheek.
S:It is an interesting study and can help you avoid difficulty in communication.
Step 4 Structure study
T:Today,we are going to learn the v.-ing as the attribute.It means that the v.-ing form is used as the adjective to modify a noun.In the above sentences,which sentences have the v.-ing as the attribute?
S:They are visitors coming from several countries,who are interested in the development of business in China.
S:This is an exciting experience for you,so you stand watching and listening.
S:His nose touches Mr Cook’s moving hand,and they both apologize.
S:She arrives hurrying,recognizes Mr Garcia’s smiling face,and then they shake hands and kiss each other twice on each cheek.
S:It is an interesting study and can help you avoid difficulty in communication.
T:Very good.You have totally understood the usage of v.-ing as attribute.Now,let’s learn more.Take the second sentence for example.Four people enter looking around in a curious way.In this sentence,the v.-ing describes the movement “enter”.So it’s used as an adverbial.In the above sentences,which belongs to this usage?
S:Four people enter looking around in a curious way.
S:This is an exciting experience for you,so you stand watching and listening.
S:You see her step back appearing surprised,and take a few steps away from Mr Garcia.

Activities and Research
The teacher may first prepare some cards on which some words are written describing body movements.And then two students are needed to act-and-guess,that is,one is to act the body movements and the other may just speak out the words.It is a good chance for the students to consolidate the words they learnt.
