To get relevant information about Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, find out what the passage is about, infer the author’s attitude towards grow-ups and find the evidence, then talk about your attitude towards grow-ups
To use the key language points from the passage correctly
目标一: To get relevant information about Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, find out what the passage is about, infer the author’s attitude towards grow-ups and find the evidence, then talk about your attitude towards grow-ups
Activity 1: Please read the introduction to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and answer the questions.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944) was a French writer and pilot. As a young boy, he was obsessed with aeroplanes, riding in one for the first time at the age of 12. He spent much of his life flying and writing about his adventures.
Saint-Exupéry’s most successful work, The Little Prince, is one of the best-selling books ever published. The story was probably inspired by his plane crash in the desert in 1935. Saint-Exupéry nearly died, and wandered around for four days before being rescued. In 1944, Saint-Exupéry left on a wartime mission over occupied France, from which he never returned. Although the remains of his plane were discovered in 2000, Saint-Exupéry’s body has never been found, and the cause of his death remains unknown.
1 What experience made the author write The Little Prince
The story was probably inspired by his plane crash in the desert in 1935.
2 What kind of person do you think Saint-Exupéry was
He was a person with great imagination.
3 What does the introduction mainly tell you
The introduction tells Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s personal information, including the year of his birth, his hobby and experience, his successful work, the background information of creating The Little Prince and his death.
Activity 2: Look at the three drawings and predict what the story is about.
The text is probably an excerpt from the novel The Little Prince. And it is probably about something related to the three pictures.
Please read the excerpt of The Little Prince quickly and check the prediction and get the general idea of it.
The passage is written from a child’s perspective. It shows the different understandings of two pictures between grown ups and children.
Activity 3: Please read the passage carefully and find the plot and pay attention to the characters and the setting. Highlight the key words while reading.
Development of the plot The beginning:
The development:
The climax:
The ending:
The characters:
made a drawing
Grown-ups thought it was a hat and did not seek true understanding
All the grown-ups had the same answer
talked about other topics
I, grown-ups, one of the grown-ups
Activity 4: Choose the author’s attitude towards grown-ups and find evidence to support your choice.
1. Grown-ups are more practical than children. They want to teach children knowledge that will be useful in the future.
2. Grown-ups are no better than children. They lack imagination and only care about matters of consequence.
3. Grown-ups are more knowledgeable than children. They can understand everything by themselves.
Evidence:
1. They always need to have things explained. (Para 6)
2. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them. (Para 7)
3. …, I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence. (Para 9)
4. I would bring myself down to his level. I would talk to him about bridge, and golf, and politics, and neckties. And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such a sensible man. (Para 12)
Activity 5: Read the sentences from the passage and answer the questions.
... I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence.
And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such a sensible man.
1 What does the author really mean by these sentences
These sentences mean: Most of the adults he had met were the same. They focused on practical matters only and seldom paid attention to imagination or creativity. If the author pretended to think the way they did, the adults would conclude that he was sensible and mature.
2 What figure of speech does the author use
How does this figure of speech help to express the author’s attitude
Irony. This figure of speech enables the author to indicate his low opinion of adults’ behaviour and values by stressing such things.
Learning to learn
Irony is a subtle figure of speech that refers to things one says that are the opposite of what one really means. It has a humorous, emphatic or sarcastic effect. For example: Fine, don’t buy me an airline ticket, I’ll just swim across the ocean!
Activity 6: Think & Share
1 What were the grown-ups’ responses to the author’s Drawing Number One and Drawing Number Two
Why do you think they responded in this way
They thought the author’s Drawing Number One was just about an ordinary hat. When seeing the authors Drawing Number Two, they advised him to change his focus to his school subjects, because they knew they were wrong. But they didn’t pursue true understanding of it. They were more keen on fame and wealth.
2 According to the author, what is a child’s most valuable trait Do you agree with him
In the author’s opinion, a child’s most valuable trait is the seeking of the real nature of things. I agree with him because seeking true understanding is the driving force of self-development.
3 After reading the two passages in this unit, think about what you may acquire and lose as you grow up Share your ideas with the class.
After reading the two passages in this unit, I have learnt a lot. Being a child or an adult may have its own advantages and disadvantages. As far as I am concerned, being a child is much happier because I don’t take a lot of responsibilities, and I must be taken good care of by my parents, although I have to be supervised by them as well. Being an adult means I will be allowed to do a lot of things that I can’t when I am a child, while I must be mature and strong enough to take responsibilities.
Above all, I can acquire a lot, meanwhile, I may also lose something precious as I grow up. So I hope I will keep a childlike innocence deep in my heart.
Activity 7: Work in groups. Give a talk about your attitude towards grown-ups.
1 Decide whether you agree with the author’s attitude towards grown-ups and why.
2 Think of some examples to support your opinions and make notes.
Opinions Examples
3 Organise your talk following the steps below.
Explain the author’s attitude towards grown-ups.
State your own opinions
Give supporting examples.
Conclude by summarising your opinions.
4 Give your talk to the class.
Now think about your performance during the group discussion. How well did you actively participate and contribute ideas

目标一：To understand what the life is like and learn how to express concerns, give encouragement and make suggestions
Activity 1: Read the passage and answer the questions.
Like a musical symphony, life has high and low moments, and somewhere in between are those moments we call “bittersweet”. As students, it’s likely that those moments are mainly about school life, such as sitting a major exam, giving a presentation, or becoming a boarder for the first time. But as life continues, we’re presented with more varied experiences: starting university, getting a job and raising a family. Whatever our choices are, we should cherish and embrace these moments in life. After all, each step we take is one more step forward to becoming a stronger and better person.
1 What is your understanding of the first sentence
We have happiness and sorrows in life, but most of the time, it is just common days.

目标一：To get the main information and layout of the book review and write your own
Activity 1: Read the book review and find the information.
The Little Prince was written and illustrated by the French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry during World War Ⅱ. It is a children’s fantasy book, but it is also enjoyed by adults.
It tells a story about a pilot who has crashed in the desert. While he is trying to fix his aeroplane, a little prince comes to him. Visiting from another planet, the little prince recounts his adventures to the pilot, and the two become friends.
The book talks about the importance of looking beneath the surface of things to uncover their real meanings. I like it because it is simple, and yet it really made me think a lot about life and death, love and responsibility, friendship and loneliness. One of the most memorable characters in the book is a rose, which the little prince fell in love with. I was really touched by the line — “It’s the time you spent on your rose that makes your rose so important.” — because it shows how we form special bonds with others by caring and taking responsibility for them.
Personally, I think this is a touching book that everyone should read, whatever their age.

The story takes place along the Mississippi River. He, as well as a slave named Jim, finds a raft and sails down the river together, having many adventures. The story tells how Huckleberry Finn’s encounter with Jim makes him accept Jim as a man and as a close friend as well.

The book shows the writer’s view of so-called “civilization”, and reflects the moral growth of Huckleberry Finn. He comes to realize that Jim, a slave, is not only a man, but a good man.
The book is worth reading. The book contains criticism. Above all, it’s a story about seeking freedom.
Activity 5: Work in pairs. Make improvements to each other’s book reviews and share them with the class.
Sample:
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a novel written by Mark Twain, one of the greatest writers to use everyday English in American literature. It is commonly regarded as one of the first “Great American Novels”.
The story takes along the Mississippi River. Huckleberry Finn is a poor white boy who runs away to escape his bad-tempered father. While hiding on an island in the middle of the river, he encounters Jim, a runaway black slave. They find a raft and sail down the river together having many adventures. The story tells how Huckleberry Finn’s encounter with Jim makes him accept Jim as a man and as a close friend as well.
The book shows the writer’s view of so-called “civilization”, and reflects the moral growth of Huckleberry Finn. Huckleberry Finn comes to realize that Jim, a slave, is not only a man, but a good man. The book contains much sharp social criticism, especially of slavery and racism.
I think the book is well worth reading. Ultimately, it tells a story showing how everyone seeks freedom, and how every human being is entitled to respect.

Summary:
1.句2、3、6用了____________；
句1、4、5用了____________。
2.将来进行时的构成为：_____________________。
3.将来进行时表示___________________________________________,
而一般将来时表示___________________________________________。
将来进行时
一般将来时
will/shall be v-ing
将来某个时刻或某一段时间正在进行的动作
将来某一时间将要发生的动作
Activity 3: Read the sentences and summarise the structure of each one.
I’ll be seeing Mr Jackson tomorrow.
You won’t be driving any car in three years.
Will you be staying here for long
Who will be looking after Joe
肯定句: 主语＋ will/shall (shall 用于第一人称)＋be ＋v. ing...
否定句: 主语＋ will/shall＋not＋be＋v. ing...
一般疑问句: Will/Shall ＋主语 ＋be ＋ v. ing...
特殊疑问句: ①疑问代词/疑问副词＋ will/shall＋主语＋be ＋ v. ing...
②疑问代词(主语)＋will ＋ be ＋ v. ing...
【用法精讲】
1）表示在将来某一时刻正在进行的动作。
例如：He will be giving a speech this time tomorrow.
（明天这个时候他将发表演讲。）
2）表示按照计划或安排即将要发生的动作。
例如：I will be having a talk with her next week.
（下周我会找她谈话。）
3）表示预料不久要发生的事情或将来的某种可能性，说话人往往想表达“我料想”或“我估计”的含义。
例如：After you drink the water, you will be feeling better.（喝完水之后，[我估计]你会感觉好一些。）
4）表示委婉的语气。
例如：When will you be going to pick me up tomorrow
（你明天什么时候来接我？）
5）表示原因或结果。
例如：a.You can use that bike. I won’t be using it this afternoon.（你可以用那辆自行车，我下午不用。）

7）表示将来某个动作迟于所安排的另一个动作。
例如：The film will end at two o’clock and I will be going to the library after that.（电影两点结束，之后我会去图书馆。）
【注意】现在进行时也可以表示将来的动作，它和将来进行时的区别在于：将来进行时通常表示正常过程中会发生的动作，而现在进行时表示有计划的、将来肯定要进行的动作，因此相对而言将来进行时意味着动作发生的偶然性要大一些。
例如：I’ll be seeing Peter tomorrow.
（明天我会见到Peter。）
这句话表示按照常理说话者明天会见到Peter。
I’m seeing Peter tomorrow.（明天我要和Peter见面。）
这句话表示说话者已经和Peter约好了，明天肯定会见面。

Activity 3: Write a reply to Diana to tell her about your own plans for the future.
Dear Diana,
I’m more than happy that you have made such a good plan about your future. Now I would like to share my own plan for the future with you.
With the college entrance exam drawing near, I will make every effort to make full preparations for it to live up to myself as well as my parents. It’s hoped that I can pass the key exam successfully. There will be about one year left, during which I will be learning my major-art. I firmly believe that hard work will pay off and will enter my dream college next year.
Sincerely yours,
George

To get the conception and meaning of adult by watching the video and reading the poem
To get the main idea of the passage, find out what expectations Bethany, Lin Ning and Morgan has or had for turning 18 and what the reality is, then share your idea about being adult
目标一：To get the conception and meaning of adult by watching the video and reading the poem
Activity 1: Watch the video and answer the questions.
1 What is a coming-of-age ceremony
A coming-of-age ceremony is an event that marks the time when a young person moves from childhood to adulthood.
2 How do people celebrate in the video
In Ancient China, people held a traditional “capping ceremony” for a man at the age of 20 and a “hair-pinning ceremony” for a woman around her 15th birthday. On the South Pacific island of Pentecost, a ceremony of land diving takes place only for boys. In the US, a particularly modern celebration takes place for a girl or a boy at the age of 16.
3 Which celebration makes the greatest impression on you Why
I think the celebration on the South Pacific island of Pentecost makes the greatest impression on me, because the ceremony is so special for a boy of only ten.
Activity 2: Listen and read the poem. Answer the questions.
If-
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And -which is more - you’ll be a Man, my son!
1 What is the poem about
The poem is a father’s advice to his son about the qualities needed to become a virtuous or good man.
2 According to Kipling, what qualities does his son need to “be a Man” Tick those mentioned in the poem and add your own ideas.
self-belief honesty
confidence kindness
modesty pride
integrity patience

I think self-belief is most important because there are lots of challenges in life to overcome.
3 Which of these qualities are most important to you as you grow up
目标二: To get the main idea of the passage, find out what expectations Bethany, Lin Ning and Morgan has or had for turning 18 and what the reality is, then share your idea about being adult
Activity 1: Discuss at what age you are allowed to do
the following things in China.
Get a credit card.
Get a driver’s licence.
Get a full-time job.
Get the right to vote.
Get a bank loan.
Rent an apartment.
Activity 2: Predict what the passage is mainly about according to the title and the pictures.
Activity 3: Read the passage quickly and find out the main idea of it. Then tell the meaning of “the age of majority”.
Three young people tell us what turning 18 means, or meant, to them.
The age of majority means the moment when you turn 18, which is a milestone marking the beginning of adulthood.
Activity 4: Choose another suitable title for the passage and give your reasons.
1 Eighteen — the Age of Indecision
2 Teenagers’ Hopes for the Future
3 The Right to Vote — Your Views
4 Turning Eighteen — What Does it Mean
Activity 5: Read the passage carefully and finish the following tasks.
Task 1: Read paragraph 1, answer the question and then fill in the blanks.
Why can’t Bethany wait to be 18
Because she can’t vote or get a driving licence until she is 18.
Bethany 16, Victoria, Australia
I think it’s strange that I can now take 1_______________, yet I still can’t vote—I don’t think that’s fair, given that
2 __________________________________________.
I should have a say on 3 __________________________.
I’m mature enough to 4 ___________________________
________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________.
driving lessons
I’m old enough to earn a wage and pay taxes
how the government spends taxes
understand that driving a car also means taking responsibility for my life and the lives of other people
Task 2: Read paragraph 2, answer the questions and then fill in the blanks.
1 What did Lin Ning expect when he turned 18
He expected to feel instantly different, as if he had closed the door on his childhood and stepped into a whole new world.
2 What is the reality like to him
There were still rules to obey and lessons to attend.
3 What change has he experienced after turning 18
In fact, the change has been more subtle and gradual than he imagined. Instead of being the selfish teenager he used to be,he has begun to feel more aware of other people and develop a stronger sense of social responsibility.
At 18, I can do things like getting a credit card. More importantly, I can act on my desire to help others, for example by 5 _________________________________.
But although a lot of doors have opened for me, there are still 6 ____________________________________.
signing an organ donation agreement
rules to obey and lessons to attend
Task 3: Read paragraph 3, answer the questions and then fill in the blanks.
1 How is the reality different from Morgan’s expectations for turning 18
He assumed he’d already have a well-paid job and that he’d be moving into a rented apartment. His librarian’s salary means that he’ll be living at home with his parents for a while longer. He finds it hard to save any money.
2 What is his understanding on turning 18
He guesses some responsibilities are more about attitude than age.
I thought that once I was 18 and in a full-time job I’d be able to 7 __________________________,
but my salary is not high enough. I also find it hard to save money because of 8 _____________
__________________ and high commuting costs.
move into a rented apartment
the household bills
Activity 6: Read the sentences from the passage and decide if they are facts (F) or opinions (O).
1. Surely, if you’re old enough to earn a wage and pay taxes, you should be allowed to have a say on how the government spends them! _____
2. ... I will be taking my driving test on the very day I turn 18. _____
3. When I woke up the next day, there were still rules to obey and lessons to attend. _____
4. I guess some responsibilities are more about attitude than age._____
Now look for more opinions in the passage and talk about whether you agree with them.
O
F
F
O
Activity 7: Think & Share
1 Do you think the minimum age limits in the passage are sensible
I think the minimum age limits in the passage are sensible. Take getting driving licence as an example. The 18-year-olds are usually more mature both physically and emotionally than the 16-year-olds. Thus, they will have a better understanding about responsibility than the younger ones.
2 What right are you most looking forward to having as an adult Why
I’m most looking forward to making big decisions without asking my parents. I know it will be difficult but I really want to experience the feeling of independence. And I have the confidence that I can overcome all the difficulties.
3 What do you think it means to be a responsible adult
I think being a responsible adult means standing up for yourself and what you want. You should be brave enough to adapt yourself to the change and take responsibility positively. Besides, you have to learn to say “no” when facing temptation.
4 How can you use the language you have learnt in the passage to express your ideas clearly
From the passage I learned that when expressing ideas or opinions, I can use facts to support and strengthen them. By giving facts, I can make my opinion stronger and more convincing.
