Reading Club & Check Your Progress
新 课 导 入
Let’s talk
Have you ever enjoyed afternoon tea
How do you like it
课 堂 学 习
More than just a nice warm drink
There’s more to teatime than just a nice warm drink. Different cultures combine tea with different foods or snacks, turning teatime into a social occasion.
◆ Reading Club 1 Teatime
1
Read the text. Answer the questions.
1) Why did the Duchess of Bedford invite friends to come for tea
in the afternoon
2) What does yum cha mean
General Understanding
People often got very hungry during the long break between two meals. She invited friends to tea so they could have an afternoon meal.
Yum cha is translated as “drink tea”, and it means to go to a restaurant to eat dim sum.
2
Search online to find more similarities and differences between English and Southern Chinese tea cultures. Make a list and discuss.
Critical Thinking
Example:
Differences: Yum cha is an older tradition than Afternoon tea; the time of day when Yum cha and Afternoon Tea usually enjoyed is different; the types of food served are different.
Similarity: Both involve tea.
◆ Reading Club 2 City or Country
1
What are the advantages and disadvantages of city and country life Complete the diagram.
General Understanding
city Advantages
Disadvantages
full of opportunities for culture, recreation and entertainment; close to museums, zoos, cinemas, community centres, libraries and bookshops; have stable Internet connection
stressful, noisy, lots of traffic
country Advantages
Disadvantages
there are animals all around you; you can explore forests, caves and beaches; you can connect with nature; peaceful; friendly people
boring; lonely
2
Read again. Answer the questions.
Critical Thinking
1) In the last paragraph, what does the writer mean by “I think it
isn’t about where you live－it’s about how you live.”
2) How does she come to such a conclusion
1&2 How you live is more important than where you live, because she has lived both in the city and country.
3) Do you agree with this conclusion Why or why not
I agree with the writer because in my opinion, country life is so beautiful and peaceful. Contrary to the writer, I feel city life is better. It is far more interesting and you are never bored in a city.
