Teaching Procedures

Section 1

Step1. Lead-in ( warm up)

It’s the first time for you to leave your family to live all alone. And everything around you are strange, the strange school, the strange classmates, the strange teachers and so on. Most of you do not get used to the life here, especially some girls, they maybe cry at night, they miss their father, mother, sisters, brothers …, because they feel alone.

Question: What do you need when you feel alone?

Warm up

Most of you think that you need friends to talk, to care about each other when you feel alone. But not all friends are good, some of them maybe do harm to you. So what do you think a good friend should be like?…

Brainstorm:

You have talked much about good friends, and I think I will be one of your good friends, of course, I am not the smartest, but I am helpful; I am not the strongest, but I am kind; I am not the most handsome, but I am gentle. OK! I have described myself, your new friend. Now it’s your turn to describe yourselves and one of your good friends.

Step2. Listening

Good friends are helpful, they can bring you happiness, but sometimes they will

bring you some trouble too, because you can’t agree with each other on everything, so, of course, you will argue with them. Now let’s listen to this kind of argument between two friends. Please pay attention to what they are arguing about. And how do you think to solve their problem?

1. Listen to the tape.

2. Finish the questions.

3. Notes to the listening:

1) What’s the big deal?

2) What’s up?

Step3. Speaking

1. Speaking

From this material you maybe feel it important to choose people to make friends with, if there are too many differences between you, you will argue more against each other. Now, there are six persons for you to choose, the following is their information, please read it carefully and think who could be your friends and tell me your reason for your decisions.

2. Discussion

3. Make up dialogues

Situation1: You meet a new classmate, you want to make friends with him/ her.

Situation2: Two friends are arguing, because they have different opinions on something.

Step4. Language points

3. Tom昨天沒喝酒，我也沒有。
