Step Ⅰ Greetings and Revision
T: Good morning/afternoon, class. Among your teachers, who do you think are excellent? And what qualifications do you think a good teacher should have? Which group would like to share your opinions?
Group 1
Mr Wu, our physics teacher, is excellent. He enjoys teaching physics. When I asked him why he chose to be a teacher, he replied, “Teaching is a meaningful job. There is always information to share with you.” He is very patient and has a way to make the class interesting.
Mrs Zhang, our history teacher, is also good at teaching. She doesn’t just teach us dates and names. She makes things interesting and exciting to learn. Now we find history is fascinating.
Group 2
We all like Mrs Wang, our maths teacher. She varies her lessons to make them more interesting. If you succeed in working out a problem, she will praise you in class. She makes us believe we can learn maths well.
And Mr Li is a special teacher, too. She keeps improving her methods of teaching to attract more students. We are active in class. We have various after class activities, such as singing, English corner, and having talks and discussions on our subjects.
Group 3
We like football and love to play with my classmates. Our PE teacher trains us on Wednesdays after school. What is best about him is that he really knows what he is doing — how to play the game. If he teaches maths or English, I’d be the best.
We like Mr Wang. He is in charge of our class and he is always ready to help every one of us. If two boys had a fight, he would have settled it for them nicely. But his best quality is he likes all his students. He always tells us, “You are my students and I am with you.”
Step Ⅱ Reading
The passage on P75 is a webpage. An English teacher named Tom Wood introduces himself and his life. The students can know his everyday life, his hobbies and his family. Before reading, ask the students to read the questions first and give them a few minutes to read the passage silently to get the information they need quickly. Then decide if the sentences in Exercise 9 are true or false by reading the webpage again.
T: We know many people have their own webpages, especially those who are good at computer and Internet technology. Have you created your own webpages? Please put up your hands if you have.
Some students put up their hands.
T: That’s cool. I am wondering what are included in your webpages. Who would like to tell us something about your webpage?
S1: I created a webpage not long ago. My uncle helped me with it. He is an IT engineer. In my webpage, you can see my photos, updated school activities and diaries. You can also read interesting stories in it. In a word, you will know more about me from this page.
T: Fantastic! That is really a good way to show yourself to others and make new friends. Today we will read an English teacher’s webpage and see what he tells us about himself in his page. Turn to P75. Please read the questions first and then read the webpage quickly to get the answers.
Sample answers:
1. Tom Wood is an English teacher working in China.
2. He lives in Beijing, China.
3. He speaks English, Putonghua and a little Cantonese.
4. Photos.
T: Read the text again to decide if the sentences in Exercise 9 on P76 are true or false. If there are false sentences, please correct them.
The students make judgment and correct the false ones.
Step Ⅲ Cultural Corner
This passage introduces different relationship between teachers and students in western countries and differences between schools in different countries. First get the students to discuss the relationship between teachers and students in China. And tell the differences between state schools and private schools in China. Then lead them to read the passage to know the differences between schools in China and schools in western countries.
T: When I was a child, I believed that what teachers said was always correct, and everyone should follow it. I didn’t realize that teachers might make mistakes until I went to a senior middle school. What about you?
S1: I was afraid to talk with teachers, when I was a child. The moment I saw them, I ran away at once. But now I know teachers are our friends. They are strict with us in class but can be our friends after class.
S2: I think students should respect teachers wherever they are and obey the teachers’ instructions.
T: Good! Can you explain the words “private schools”?
S3: Parents must pay a lot of money for the education of their children in private schools. You must live in the school. Private schools have arranged everything for their students. What the students need to do is learning.
T: The passage in Cultural Corner describes the differences between schools in different countries. Please read the passage and answer the following questions.
What kind of differences in schools does this passage describe?
2. What’s the relationship between teachers and students in some countries like France and Britain?
3. What’s the main difference between state schools and private schools?
Let the students answer the questions. Then discuss their answers with their partners.
Sample answers:
1. It describes the differences in relationship between teachers and students and the differences between state schools and private schools.
2. In many European countries, such as France, Germany, Spain and Russia, the relationship between teachers and students is quite formal. Discipline and respect for the teacher is considered very important. It’s much more friendly and more relaxed in northern European countries. In American and Britain, relationships are quite relaxed, but sometimes teachers have big problems with discipline.
3. State schools are paid for by the government, but in private schools, the parents pay for the education of their children.
Step Ⅳ Listening and Speaking
Ask the students to listen to two dialogues to get the information needed. For the first time, listen to the two dialogues to grasp the topics. Then listen to them separately to get some details of the dialogues.
T: After class, two teachers are talking about their lessons and some students are talking about their class. What are their topics? Let’s listen to the two conversations and judge whether the statements in Exercise 10 are true or false.
Students listen and judge them.
T: Read Exercise 11 to get the listening points first and then listen to Conversation 1 again. Then choose the correct answers.
Students read and then listen to choose the right answers.
T: Now listen to Conversation 2 again and complete the sentences in Exercise 12.
Then check the answers.
Step Ⅴ Homework
T: Write ten criteria for a good teacher. Then explain why you think these things are important. You may refer to the example on P20.
Sample criteria:
1. A good teacher conducts classes very clearly. This is important because students can easily follow the teacher.
2. A good teacher properly uses case studies in teaching. This is important because case studies will enable students to make practical use of what they learnt in class.
3. A good teacher conducts the content of course logically. This is important because students will get a clear idea of what is being taught in each lesson.

8. A good teacher looks tidy and well-dressed. This is important because that will make students feel pleased.
9. A good teacher is friendly to every student. This is important because good relationship will make learning smooth.

Ⅱ. 文化背景知识
Mark of a Good Teacher
Medical students have long ago learned that the quality of a teacher will make or break a rotation. Clearly, you want to have a rotation with someone who is enthusiastic and is able to challenge you at the appropriate level.
There is some truth in that good teachers like to teach. The best sign of enthusiasm for teaching is experiencing doing it. One indication of this is the number of years one has been teaching. This sometimes translates to a teaching appointment with a university, but not always.
Challenge at the appropriate level is a tough call. This is why a previous student raved about his or her experience, and you feel that your hands are being held back, or that the preceptor has given you more than you can or should handle. Fix this problem by immediate and continuing feedback to your preceptor! A good teacher will be able to modify his or her style to meet individual requirements of students.
Schools in other countries
When you go into American elementary, secondary, or high school classrooms, you will find you have entered a colorful and attractive world with many interesting and meaningful decorations on the walls.
Classroom rules, proverbs, the American flag, students’ homework and teachers’ assignment can be seen on the walls. Wherever you go on the campus, there are always beautiful pictures, drawings and art works which show you a vivid and warm atmosphere.
It is very different from the Chinese classroom. Everything must be neat. Everything should be in order.
Americans like to make their high school classrooms similar to those of elementary schools. On the contrary, we Chinese always make our elementary classrooms the same as those in middle schools.
We aim to establish a kind of academic atmosphere, but Americans do the opposite. They try to give children a lively, colorful world because in their eyes the world is like that.
The most interesting decorations are the proverbs on the walls. Most are slogans or excerpts from western authors and philosophers, all written on colorful paper with different shapes and sizes. They are really motivational for students. Some of them indicate a respect for others; some of them encourage a love of learning.
For instance, there is a sentence saying: “Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you will land among the stars.” What a sentence!
There are so many good sayings: “Never pass up a chance to be nice to one another.”“A good book can really grab you.”“You won’t be rewarded for having brains, but for using them.” The students are immersed in a self-educated atmosphere and won’t feel bored.
That’s really a good idea and typical of American classroom culture.
The British Education System
State Education
All state schools in Britain are free, and schools provide their pupils with books and equipment for their studies. Nine million children attend 35,000 schools in Britain. Education is compulsory from
5 - 16 years. Parents can choose to send their children to a nursery school or a preschool play group to prepare them for the start of compulsory education.
Children start primary school at 5 and continue until they are 11. Most children are taught together, boys and girls in the same class. At 11 most pupils go to secondary schools called comprehensives which accept a wide range of children from all backgrounds and religious and ethnic groups. Ninety percent of secondary schools in England, Scotland and Wales are co educational.
At 16 pupils take a national exam called “GCSE” (General Certificate of Secondary Education) and then they can leave school if they wish. This is the end of compulsory education.
Some 16 year-olds continue their studies in the sixth form at school or at a sixth form college. The sixth form prepares pupils for a national exam called “A” level (Advanced Level) at 18. You need “A” levels to enter a university.
Other 16-year-olds choose to go to a college of further education to study for more practical (vocational) diplomas relating to the world of work, such as hairdressing, typing or mechanics.
Universities and colleges of higher education accept students with “A” levels from 18. Students study for a degree which takes on average three years of fulltime study. Most students graduate at 21 or 22 and are given their degree at a special graduation ceremony.
Private Education
Seven percent of British school children go to private schools called independent schools. There are 2,400 independent schools and they have been growing in number and popularity since the mid 1980s.
Parents pay for these schools, and fees vary from about ￡250 a term for a private nursery to ￡3,000 a term or more for a secondary boarding school (pupils board, i.e. live at the school). Some independent schools are called prep schools because they prepare the children for the Common Entrance Exam which they take at the age of 13. This exam is for entry into the best schools.
The most famous schools are called “public schools” and they have a long history and tradition. It is often necessary to put your child’s name on a waiting list at birth to be sure he or she gets a place. Children of wealthy or aristocratic families often go to the same public school as their parents and their grandparents. Eton is the best known of these schools.
The majority of independent secondary schools, including public schools, are single-sex, although in recent years girls have been allowed to join the sixth forms of boys’ schools. Independent schools also include religious schools (Jewish, Catholic, Muslim etc.) and schools for ethnic minorities.
