Step I Daily report:

Review the text by asking the students a few questions and deal with the words and expressions in the text by finishing Exx1-3 on P3.
T: Hello, everyone! It’s time for our daily report. I have given you the topic of this week, which is something about cultural relics at home and abroad. S1, it’s your turn. Welcome, I know that you are one of the best speakers in our class. What will you tell us?
S1: It’s about the Great Wall of China.
T: Oh, really? My friends, let’s listen to her carefully.
S1: At first I have to say, I feel so proud of the Great Wall in our country that I searched the library for information about it. The Reat Wall of China is called the “Wan Li Chang Cheng” in Chinese. In fact, it’s more than 6000 kilometers long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world. The Great Wall has a history of over 20000 years. Parts of it were built through different dynasties. Tt was during the Qin Dynasty that the parts were joined up into one long wall. The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to keep watch, Fires were lit in the towers as a warnig when the enemy came. It was difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died of cold and hunger when they were forced to work on the wall. Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest to the Chinese people and people from all over the world. That’s all. Do you enjoy it?
T: Of course, we do. Thank you for your wonderful speech. I think that all of the Chinese take pride in the Great Wall.
Step II Discovering useful words and expressions:

T: Well, we’ve learned so much about the cultural relics, especially about the Amber Room and the Great Wall. Now let me see if you can find the words in the text with the help of the meanings. Please turn to page 3.
(Students do the exersice. 4 minutes later.)
T: OK, time is up. Who’d like to write the words on the blackboard? Any volunteers?
(4 students come to the blackboard to write the words)
T: All right, thank the four of you. Let’s see who did the best? S2, you did the best. Can you tell us how you can find all of them so quickly and correctly?
S2: Well, I think if you can understand the text well, you can do it well. And of course, you have to be careful.
T: Right, you are always hardworking. In my opinion, you have to read the meaning carefully at first, then decide the part of the speech of the word, for example, is it a noun, a pronoun or a verb? Then you have to read the text and try to understand it. At last, you may find them in the text. Do you think so?
S2: Yes.
T: Everyone, as you know, an English word can have many different meanings when used in different places. What do you think is the most important thing for us to do such kind of exercise? Now let’s look at page 3, exercise 2.
(Students do it. One minute later.)
T: Now, who can tell me what is the most important thing?
Ss: Understanding!
