The analysis of learning condition(学情分析):
● The students are from poor family of countryside , their listening and speaking ability are not good, so teachers should give them more practice.

Teaching Procedures(教学过程):
STEP 1. Showing some pictures
Show some pictures of some famous persons, asking the students if their know about these persons and their jobs. Teach the word ‘popular’.
A lot of students know about the people above. They like them. Get the students to read the names correctly, especially Celine Dion.
Get the students to talk about their future plans, using the following sentences.
I want to be a ______ when I grow up.
I would like to be as popular as ____ is when I grow up.
I hope to become a famous _______ and _______ in the future.
Encourage the students to give their reasons very briefly. And lead them to think about what they can do for other people and what they can do for the society.
make other people happy travel around the world
be kind/helpful/popular make money to help more people
STEP 2. Listening to the tape
STEP 3 . Read the passage
Get the students to read Part A2 aloud. Ask the students to read the passage silently and find out What Millie tries to do and why Millie wants to be a social worker.
What does Millie try to do
a. She tries to be kind to his classmates.
b. She tries her best to help her friends.
Why does Millie want to be a social worker
a. She can listen to people’s problems.
b. She can help people to solve their problems.
c. She will be happy if she can make people happy again.
It is because of Millie’s personality (kind and helpful) that she wants to be a social worker. Social workers are also kind and helpful. Personally, I think this may help to develop the students’ ability to organize their speech and writing.
STEP 4 . Listening to the tape
Say ‘Sandy wants to write about her future plans to Mr. Zhou, too. She is talking to kitty about it.’ Ask the students to listen to the tape and tick out Sandy’s future plans in Part A1.
Play the tape twice, if necessary.
Help Sandy to complete the letter to Mr. Zhou.
STEP 5. Read the passage together
Get the students to read the passage together. Ask the students to read the passage silently and find the answer to the question why Sandy wants to be a singer.
Why does Sandy want to be a singer
a. She thinks it is great to sing for people.
b. She’d like to make people happy.
c. She wants to be as popular as Celine Dion.
d. She wants to travel around the world.
Get the students to focus on these sentence patterns, because they may be very useful when the students write their own articles. They also help to get the students to think about the reasons of their own future plans.
STEP 6. Making your own future plans
Encourage the students to have their own future plans. Work in groups to talk about them. Encourage the students to speak out the reasons for having such a future plan.
STEP 7. Finding out the answers
Ask the students, ‘Do you know a lot about your patterns future plans Let’s talk about our best friends. First, let’s listen to the sample dialogue here.’
Ask the students to listen carefully and find out the answers to the questions.
Who are they talking about (They are talking about Peter.)
How does peter look (He looks sporty. He is the fastest runner. )
What is Peter like (He is friendly and helpful.)
What’s his future plan (He’d like to be a doctor when he grows up.)
