T: Before we begin a new lesson, let’s check the homework.
Check the homework.
Step II Listening and Vocabulary
T: Today we are going to listen to some materials. Before we listen to the first passage, please look at some words on the slide. Most of them are unfamiliar to you. Look them up in your dictionary and get their meanings. Then discuss with each other to guess what the passage is about.
Show the words on the slide.
neighbourhood, committee, organisation, join, club, unemployed, survey, information, household, population, occupation, professional, manual, worker
T: What does the word “committee” mean? Who’d like to explain it in English?
S: It means “a group of people appointed to deal with a particular matter”.
e.g. the transport committee 运输委员会
the football club committee 足球俱乐部委员会
T: How about “organisation”?
S: It means “a group of persons organized for a particular purpose; an association”.
e.g. a local organisation 一个地方组织
a benevolent organization一个慈善组织
...
Deal with the rest of the words in the same way.
T: From these words, can you guess what the passage is about?
S: I think it is a passage introducing an organization.
S: I think the passage is about a survey of a neighbourhood.
...
T: Very good. You are all right. What you said is contained in the passage more or less. Now let’s listen to the passage and check out what it is about on earth.
Play the tape for the first time.
T: After you listen to the passage, what do you think it is about?
Ss: The passage is about a neighbourhood group.
T: Yes, you are right. Now I will play Part 2 for you. Before I play the tape, you should read the chart to get the listening points first. When I play it, you should listen carefully and try your best to grasp the important information. Then when I play it again, please complete the chart.
Play the tape twice. Check the answers to the questions.
T: Turn to page 38, EVERYDAY ENGLISH. Read the 7 questions first. Then we’ll listen to the passage again.
After playing the tape.
T: Have you got the answers?
Ss: Yes.
T: These expressions are very useful spoken English. Practice them after class with your partners.
Ask several students to present their answers and check them. Then do PRONUNCIATION to help the students learn which words in a sentence should be stressed.
T: Please turn to page 37 and do PRONUNCIATION. When you listen to the extract, underline the stressed words in each sentence. Pay attention to the stressed words.
Then let the students work in pairs to read the extract, stressing the underlined words.
Explanation:
句子中较重要的词应重读，其它词可不重读，这就是句子重音。通常需重读的词有名词、动词（除to be, to have,助动词和情态动词）、形容词、副词、数词、疑问代词和指示代词、疑问副词、名词性物主代词、反身代词等等。而冠词、连词、介词和人称代词等一般不重读。
T: OK! Now please work in groups of four to talk about the neighbourhood committee in your area by asking and answering the following questions.
1. What do you know about the committee?
2. How have they helped people?
3. Would you like to be on the committee when you are older?
4. What have you done to help in your neighbourhood?
A sample version:
S1: In my opinion, the job of the neighbourhood committee is to look after the neighbourhood, such as solving problems between neighbours,keeping the neighbourhood safe etc.
S2: I think they help people in almost every aspect.
S3: When I am older, I would like to be on the committee, because I am willing to help people. Just as the saying goes: A near neighbour is better than a distant cousin. We should help each other.
S4: The other day, I helped Grandma Li clean her room because she caught a cold and didn’t feel well. I will continue helping in my neighbourhood. I think helping others is the virtue of us Chinese.
Step III Listening and Speaking
T: Now please look at some questions on the slide and discuss them. Three minutes later, I will ask some of you to answer them.
Show the questions on the slide.
1. What’s it like living on an island?
2. What are the advantages of living in your town?
3. Where will you live when you leave home?
4. Where would you like to live?
5. How long have you lived in this neighbourhood?
6. What is life like in the countryside?
After three minutes.
Sample answers:
1. Living on an island isn’t so good, but also isn’t so bad. The advantages are we can live quietly and we can breathe fresh air. The disadvantage is we almost haven’t any entertainment.
2. Living in a town has many advantages. When you want to visit others in the town, you don’t have to take a bus. Perhaps you can go there on foot. Moreover, if you like living quietly, you’d better live in a town. Besides, the air in a town is fresh.
3. To go to high school, I have to leave my home and live in the city of Beijing. For me, I think it’s better and safer to live in the dormitory.
4. I would like to live in a city. There are many attractive things and places in a city.
5. I have lived in this neighbourhood since I was born.
6. Life in the countryside is quiet and simple. But sometimes it is very boring because there are few places to go to and few things to do.
T: OK! Excellent. Now I will play the tape for you to listen to five interviews. The first time when you listen, you should grasp the main idea of every interview and do Exercise 12 on page 89. And the second time, please complete the sentences of Exercise 13. The third time, you can check your answers.
After listening to the tape, check the answers.
T: Next, we’ll read a passage about living on an island on page 89. After you read it, work in pairs to make a list of the advantages and disadvantages of living on an island.
Sample answers:
Advantages: beautiful big house, friendly people, peaceful
Disadvantages: impossible to have a private life, no secondary school, no bank, no hospital, nothing for young people to do in the evenings, no old people’s home
T: You have known the general conditions of living on an island. Now I have a question: Would you like living on an island? Why? Volunteer?
S: I would like to live on an island. I think people there are very kind. I like living simply and don’t like to live in a noisy place.
S: I wouldn’t like to live on an island. Though a city is noisy and sometimes the air isn’t so fresh, I still would like to live in it. When I’m at leisure, I can go to many beautiful places.
...
Step IV Homework
T: Today we have listened to two materials. One is about a neighbourhood group — “the neighbourhood committee”; the other is five interviews talking about different places to live in such as an island, a small town, countryside and cities. After class, you should listen to them again and tell which place you would like to live in.
