指导思想：主动阅读，自主发展，培养学生英语语言能力和分析问题、解决问题的能力。
理论依据：语言习得理论。坚持采用整体语言教学法。主要按以下步骤进行: 1.阅读导入
包括背景知识介绍。例如阅读文章前可先介绍英国的fish&chip ，Speakers’ Corner ，Big Ben ，Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, Stonehenge, Shakespear, national flags of Scotland, Ireland ,Wales and England等知识，然后让学生再回忆他们收集到的信息，进行知识的分享，启发学生利用已有的知识和经验（experience），对课文的内容进行预测，并就有关的话题开展讨论。然后，让学生通过阅读验证自己的推测，吸取信息，掌握新的知识，丰富经验。这样还可以适当降低阅读难度，激发学生的阅读兴趣。 如本课就可设置：
2.目标阅读
对学生提出一些有针对性的、控制性的问题，让学生带着任务进行阅读。学生可以通过跳、略读等阅读方式发现答案，做出推理和判断，充分理解作者的意图，培养学生的略读（skimming）能力。如本课的教学中，可提出这样的问题：1. What is the UK?
2. What's the weather in the British Isles like? What about in Scotland?
3. Has the culture of the people in the British Isles received many influences? From here?
4. Why do so many English words end u with the French words
