1. list the specific information about the Brownlee brothers’ story;
2. summarize the characteristics of feature stories;
3. retell the Brownlee brothers’ story;
4. strengthen the understanding of building harmonious family relationship.
1. Look at the words and expression!and choose the ones that can beapplied to your relationship withyour family members.
Developing ideas
Now look at the title of thepassage and the picture.Predict which of the wordsand expressions above canbe applied to the brothersrelationship.
Learning to learn
Features are "people stories", and are typically longer than standard news stories. Features are written in an individual style, with extra detai and background.
Feature stories typically start with a "hook" that gets the interest of the reader. The style of the first paragraph also needs to set the tone of the whole piece. The middle part contains the "meat" of the story.with the ending being a summary, a powerful quote or even a surprise for the reader.
Reading for main idea
Read the passage and check your prediction.
Support, encourage, admire, compete against, have arguments, cooperate with and love can be applied to the brothers’ relationship.
For Alistair, the choice was clear. His brother was in trouble. He had to help. Alistair ran towards Jonny, caught him and started pulling him towards the finish line. Alistair then pushed his brother over the line. The move put Jonny in second place and Alistair himself in third. It was an unexpected end to the race, but Alistair did not want to discuss it with the media. He just wanted to see his younger brother, who had been rushed to the medical area.
Para.2
Para.3
The Brownlee brothers have been doing triathlons since they were children. “Obviously, when your older brother is doing it, you think it’s a cool thing to do,” says Jonny. Alistair says that they encourage each other as much as they can when they train. Despite arguments over “stupid things” now and then, Alistair agrees that having a brother is an advantage. “Throughout my entire life, I’ve had my brother trying to beat me at everything I do. It has been an enormously positive force.”
Para.4
Watched by millions, the ending to the race has divided opinions: should the brothers have been disqualified or highly praised for their actions But for Alistair, his decision was easy to explain: “Mum wouldn’t have been happy if I’d left Jonny behind.” At that moment, he was no longer an athlete aiming for a medal-he was just a brother.

One story:
In the Northern Song Dynasty there were two brothers, Song Xiang and Song Qi. When they were young, their parents died in succession. Therefore, the two brothers had to live in poverty. But they weren’t struck down by the difficulties.

Reading
I was tidying my room yesterday and found an old photo in a notebook. As I was looking at it, the lovely memory of that day came back to me.
It was my mother’s birthday ten years ago, and I decided to surprise her with home-made scrambled eggs. I woke up really early and tiptoed to the kitchen. I had never cooked anything before, so I tried to copy how she did it. But somehow they ended up burnt.
Reading
I was about to throw everything away when my mother came in. I showed her the eggs and sadly explained what happened. To my surprise, she tasted them and said they weren’t bad! I guess love is indeed a magical ingredient. In fact, we ended up laughing and ate them all.
This weekend is her 45th birthday. I’ll make her scrambled eggs again, and this time they won’t be burnt!

Learning to learn
Placing stress on particular words can have a big impact on the meaning and strength of apologies. For example, saying "l am sorry"' has more of an impact than "l'm sorry”.Another way of strengthening an apology is by using and stressing adverbs: I'm really sorry, I'm so sorry.
