Get students to guess the information about Country Music.
(通过提示词让学生在读前了解乡村音乐的信息）
Step3: While－reading
Match the three paras and the main ideas.(将课文内容和段落大意打印在小条上，分给小组内每位同学，让他们找到自己的partner，通过这种形式让确保每位学生都能运用到阅读策略：快速阅读段落开头或结尾的主题句，了解段落大意。）

Country music itself can’t change Sarah’s life, but the kindness, the feeling about returning home make Sarah realize the importance of family and love. It changed Sarah’s life.
