目标一: To acquire the structure, content and useful expressions of a speech, then write and make your own speech
Activity 1: Read the speech on Edgar Snow and answer the questions.
Hello, everyone. Today, I’m going to introduce Edgar Snow. Edgar Snow was an American journalist who wrote influential books and articles about China in the 1930s. At a time when relatively little was known about our country in the Western world, his 1937 book Red Star over China broke ideological boundaries by telling the stories of the Chinese communist movement from the inside.
Although Snow was not the only international journalist to set foot in China during the early decades of the 20th century, what set him apart from the others was that he actually spent time with the Chinese Red Army. He listened to their stories and observed their day-to-day lives, as well as conducting interviews with Mao Zedong and other leaders. His biographical accounts and depictions of historical events, such as the Long March, therefore captured the spirit of the period and the people living through it with unprecedented authenticity. Snow is considered “our American friend”.
I admire Snow’s special insight and bravery, risking his life during the war to get to the heart of the story and correct prejudice. For me, Snow’s writing, and in particular Red Star over China, is a must-read for anyone with an interest in that period.

Activity 5: Work in pairs. Make improvements to each other’s speeches and share them with the class.
Now give your speech to the class.
Sample:
Good morning, everyone.Today I’m going to introduce a great man who devoted his life to practising medicine for the people of China—Dr Norman Bethune. He was born in 1890, in Canada. He was a complicated person who was both very creative and very stubborn. He was also very hard-working, and wanted to make a difference in the world. In fact, he invented or improved numerous surgical procedures and surgical instruments. However, it was in China that he would break national boundaries by becoming one of the few Western doctors to help the Chinese in their wartime struggle. His contribution to the welfare of the Chinese people was not only unusual, but immense.
Having married a wealthy woman, Bethune had once enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle in Canada. However, his social conscience developed during the 1930s, with a visit to the Soviet Union and time as a surgeon during the Spanish Civil War. In January 1938, he left Canada again, this time to help the soldiers in China’s Eighth Route Army. It was no easy journey. Travelling thousands of kilometres, he did not reach Yan’an until the end of March. By June, he was working at the front. He soon saw that the medical situation for the troops and local people was bad. There were not enough medicines or surgical instruments, and the medical staff were not well trained. Bethune worked hard to help the wounded and train his staff, even inventing medical equipment that was suitable for guerilla warfare in China. The pace at which Bethune worked can be seen in a battle during April 1939, when he performed 115 operations in only 69 hours. The Chinese, though they sometimes found Bethune difficult because of his stubbornness，admired him greatly because of his ceaseless hard work and his dedication to helping the Chinese people.But tragedy struck when Bethune cut himself while conducting an operation.He soon contracted blood poisoning and died on 12 November 1939.
Dr Norman Bethune had worked tirelessly as a surgeon, teacher and hospital administrator for the Chinese people. Their struggle became his own.Although he was not Chinese, he sacrificed his life for them.In December 1939, Chairman Mao Zedong wrote an article “In Memory of Norman Bethune”, as a tribute to Bethune, and called on the Chinese people to learn from his example. Dr Norman Bethune remains the greatest inspiration for anyone who believes that we must fight alongside others for justice-even if they are from a different nation to our own.
目标二: To talk about how to remove the boundaries in society
Activity 1: Work in groups. Look at the pictures and make a list of boundaries in society.
______________________________________________________
______________________________________________________
______________________________________________________
______________________________________________________
Communication boundaries between the old and their children
National boundaries
Boundaries between the rich and the poor
...
Activity 2: Choose one of the boundaries you have listed and talk about how to break that boundary by answering the questions.
1 What led to the boundary
Because of the mobile phone, children and parents meet each other less.
I choose communication boundaries between the old and their children.
2 Who is affected by the boundary
The old.
3 What can be done to remove the boundary
Come home often, take time to visit the elderly, and chat with the elderly face to face.
4 How would society change if the boundary were removed
Old people are happier and healthier. There will be more warmth between people.
Activity 3: Prepare a short presentation. Consider the following:
1 the structure of your presentation
2 useful words, expressions and structures
Give your presentation to the class.
Sample:
Today I’d like to talk about communication boundaries between the old and their children. Because of the mobile phone, children and parents meet each other less. However, the old aren’t able to video chat with their children because they don’t know how to use a smart phone. They may feel lonely when they can’t see their children for a long time. I think children should go home often to see their old parents, and chat with them face to face. Thus, old people are happier and healthier. There will be more warmth between people.

a But it is vital not to take any chances.
b But not to take any chances is vital.
c It is important to remember that Ebola doesn’t respect national boundaries.
d To remember that Ebola doesn’t respect national boundaries is important.
1 What does “it” refer to in the sentences (a) and (c)
2 What is the difference between the sentences in each group
Why does the author choose to use sentences (a) and (c) instead of (b) and (d)
In sentences (a) and (c) respectively refer to “not to take any chances. “ and “to remember that Ebola doesn’t respect national boundaries.”
In the first sentences, empty subject “it” is used as the subject, while in the second sentences, the “to infinitive” is the subject
The infinitive structures in the sentences are too long.
Now look for more sentences with this structure in the reading passage, and summarise its uses in your own words.
(1) It is so inspiring to have colleagues like Wilton, Maisy and Alfonso, not to mention all the others I have worked with.
(2) In a world still facing so many problems, it is absolutely essential for us all to collaborate to create a global community with a shared future of peace and prosperity.

目标二: To use it as an empty subject correctly
Activity 1: Rewrite the underlined parts using it as an empty subject.
According to the “2017 Hollywood Diversity Report”, to get roles in American film and television is no longer quite so difficult for women and minorities. This is another small but important advance against gender and racial discrimination.
The report analysed 200 films released in 2015 and 1,206 TV shows from 2014 to 2015, and discovered that to become a leading actor in Hollywood is now a more realistic hope for minority actors. In more good news, to write and direct Hollywood films is more common than before for women.
The bad news is that there is still a long way to go. Leading roles are more likely to be given to white actors. Asian American actors, in particular, still face problems. Even now, to cast white actors as Asian characters is seen as acceptable by film studios. But at least the report shows that things are moving slowly in the right direction.
1 It is no longer quite so difficult for women and minorities to get roles in American film and television.
2 It is now a more realistic hope for minority actors to become a leading actor in Hollywood.
3 It is more common than before for women to write and direct Hollywood films.
4 It is seen as acceptable by film studios to cast white actors as Asian characters.

2. How is the idea reflected in the MSF doctor’s journal
The author mentioned that Ebola has no respect for borders. This indicates that borders are artificial. Many human differences are similarly artificial or unimportant when compared to what unites people. Doctors and others involved in the fight against the disease were united by their common values of respecting and saving human life.

Activity 1: Read the passage for the first time and get the main idea of it.
It is about the phenomena “global village”.
Activity 2: Read the passage and answer the questions. Pay attention to the expressions in bold.
Nowadays, people all over the world are becoming more and more connected, as if the world were getting smaller -as if we were living in a “global village”.
Technology is largely responsible for bringing people together. Channels of communication, such as the mobile phone and the Internet, have made it possible to speak instantly with someone on the other side of the planet, enabling us to form close connections with people of completely different cultures. The television, meanwhile, is a window on the world, giving us quick and easy access to other cultures and lifestyles.
Cultural exchange helps us to be more inclusive and to overcome culture shock. But inclusiveness doesn’t mean that our cultures will merge into one another. Rather, it’s about countries and people making a joint effort to come together to create a more harmonious and understanding world, so that we can all enjoy the mutual benefits.

The Gettysburg Address
Speaker
Setting (date & place)
Abraham Lincoln
November 19, 1863
a field in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Background event
Main content
For two years, American people had been deep in a civil war between the slave-owning Confederate Southern States and the “free” Northern States of the Union. The worst battle lasted three days and took place at Gettysburg in 1863.
Give civilian people hope, belief and a reason to look to the future.Give civilian people a new vision of what the United States of America should be.
Task 2: Read para.s 4~6, answer the questions.
1 How did Lincoln describe the founding of the US
2 What challenges did the Civil War bring to the nation
Lincoln described the US as a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
The Civil War tested whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure.
3 How did Lincoln describe the men who fought in the war
4 What was the “great task” that Lincoln described
5 Who would be responsible for carrying out this task
He described the men as those who gave their lives that that nation might live. He thought that the brave men, living and dead, who struggled there, had consecrated it. The world will never forget what they did there.
The task was to make the nation live and the government of the people, by the people, for the people, would not perish from the earth.
The living.
Activity 4: Think & Share
1 What was Lincoln’s purpose in giving the speech
He wanted to give the people hope, belief and a reason to look to the future.
2 Lincoln talks about the government “of the people, by the people, for the people”. What does this mean
Learning to learn
In English, prepositions can be used to show ideas in a clear and concise way. An example is within the speech: “government of the people, by the people, for the people”.
It means that a government does not rule over the people but is ruled by them. Elected officials are regarded as servants of the people. Every citizens has a right and a duty to protect his own interests and to decide how his government should be governed.
3 What other speeches can you think of that stress the importance of breaking boundaries
Martin Luther King — I have a dream.
4 What efforts to break boundaries are described in the two reading passage in the unit
In the first passage, doctors or other people of different backgrounds worked together to save people in danger.
In the second passage, Lincoln called on the people of the United States to strive for a free nation where all men are equal.
Activity 5: Work in groups. Give a talk about the significance of abolishing slavery in the US.
1. Organise your ideas by answering the questions.
What was the US like before slavery was abolished
How was it different afterwards
In what ways did the abolition of slavery help to break boundaries
2 Do research to find more evidence to support your ideas.
3 Think about effective ways to find information to support your ideas. And give your talk to the class.
Sample:
Before slavery was abolished, slaves in the US had been treated as animals. At that time, they could not receive respect. They did back-breaking work all day long without enough rest. And they were often physically abused by their owners and had no legal rights.
Paragraph 3 tells us “His (His refers to Abraham Lincoln’s) speech gave them hope, belief and a reason to look to the future.” From this sentence we know that before slavery was abolished, Americans had no hope, or belief, or a reason to look to the future.
And the sentence “It was what the soldiers died for. Now it was up to the living to remove not only the divisions between North and South, but the boundaries between black and white, and work step by step towards the equality of humankind.” means, in my opinion, some Americans at that time were willing to sacrifice their lives to break the boundaries between black and white, and work step by step towards the equality of humankind.
After slavery was abolished, we learned from Paragraph 6 “that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”, which means that black and white in America should be equal. To a certain extent, the black have been free after slavery was abolished. And they enjoy the same legal rights as the white. So the abolishment of slavery did break the boundaries between black and white.
目标二: To use the key language points from the passage correctly
Activity 1: Find the important words, phrases, and language points you want to share with your partner.
Then discuss in groups and share their usage with the class.
