阅读课件
To get the main idea of the passage and conclude the structure of the text;
To tell the spirit of the Chinese women’s volleyball team by giving examples;
To analyze the organization of the passage and master the words and sentence patterns that describe a sports event;
To inspire students to face failures bravely and keep positive.
Learning objectives
1. Look at the pictures and answer the questions.
Activity 1
1 What are the key differences between team sports and individual sports
2 Can you think of any famous sports teams Why are they so well-known
1 What are the key differences between team sports and individual sports （number/ way）
Team sports require no less than two players on each side. In team sports, every player needs to learn to trust and depend on others, to accept help and give help and to work together to reach a common goal.
Individual sports usually involves one player competing against other players. In individual sports, players find satisfaction pushing themselves to achieve personal goals rather than relying on the team to help them get there.
Activity 1
2 Can you think of any famous sports teams
Why are they so well-known
Manchester United
“the first English football club to win the European Cup”
Los Angeles Lakers
“superstars & 16 NBA championships”
Chinese women’s volleyball team
“10 world championships; a symbol of national pride & patriotic spirit”
Activity 1
2016里约奥运会女排分组(括号内为世界排名)：
A组：巴西(3)、俄罗斯(4)、日本(5)、韩国(9)、阿根廷(12)、喀麦隆(21)
B组：美国(1)、中国(2)、塞尔维亚(6)、意大利(8)、荷兰(14)、波多黎各(16)
根据奥运会赛制，两个小组率先进行单循环，小组前四名出线晋级八强。随后的1/4决赛，A组第一名对阵B组第四名，B组第一名对阵A组第四名，A、B两组的第二名和第三名将进行抽签来决定1/4决赛淘汰赛的对阵。两个小组的第五名将并列获得里约奥运会的第9名，两个小组的第六名将并列获得里约奥运会的第11名。
根据这个分组，A组形势明朗，实力强劲的巴西、俄罗斯、日本和韩国实力明显高于阿根廷和喀麦隆，巴俄日韩四支队伍出线没有悬念，主要看最终排位。B组中，首次进入奥运会的波多黎各实力最弱，中国、美国、塞尔维亚、意大利、荷兰都具备相当的实力，本组也可以看作“死亡之组”，作为死亡之组，其实对于中美两队而言，按实力分析基本可以确保小组出线，毕竟两支队伍作为世界杯和世锦赛的冠军都具备了冲击奖牌的实力，死亡之组主要是针对欧洲三强塞尔维亚、意大利、荷兰而言。

Last Saturday, I went to the school playground to watch the final
of the 4×100-metre relay at our annual sports tournament. It was
an extraordinary experience and something I will never forget.
Before the race, everyonewas quiet and still. I had never imagined
that the atmosphere at a sports event could be so intense. When
the runners set off, everyone went wild! We all stood up and started cheering and shouting. It was like being hit by a huge wave of excitement. I could see the runners straining to run as fast as they could, while trying not to drop their batons at the change. The race was all over in just one minute. It was Li Chong, the fastest student in our school, who first crossed the finish line. Everyone was on their feet, cheering. I was also caught up in the excitement and cheered so hard that I thought my lungs would burst! It was so wonderful to be part of this sporting moment and enjoy its speed and passion.

I once ran the first leg of 4x100-metre relay at our annual sports tournament. It was exciting and unforgettable. Standing on the starting line, waiting for the starting gun, I could almost hear my own heart beating. Then the gun sounded and I almost had blocked out everything else. To this day, I don’t remember how I finished my leg of the race. Only when I passed the baton to the second runner did I hear the wild cheering and shouting. The whole race was over in just an instant. The crowd rose to their feet and their cheering became even louder. Our team had won the race, and the four of us hugged each other tightly for quite a while. I felt really happy.

1. Work in groups. Read the two points of view about winning and take sides.
Which argument do you agree, why
Point of view: ___________________________________________
Arguments: ____________________________________________________
Supporting examples: ___________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
In sports, winning is everything
All the mental and physical preparation is aimed at winning
Desire to win can improve your strength physically and mentally.
US soccer player Mia Hamm is a good example.
Winning means you are doing better than you've ever done before
While we are competing in sports, winning is very important, and actually winning really is everything.
First of all, all the mental and physical preparation is aimed at achieving one simple objective: beating your opponent by scoring more points. We often train for sports by having this goal in mind and to be very frank, nobody has an aim to lose. In fact, other than winning being an achievement to the whole team, it is a goal that boost our metal and physical strength.
In addition, winning is encouragement, with which we will play harder and try to be the best we can be. To leave the field with no regrets is important and sportsmanship is about doing our best in the game.We definitely do not want to say, “We should have tried harder" after losing our games.
Hence, I feel that winning is everything in terms of improving ourselves.

In sports, winning is everything
All the mental and physical preparation is aimed at winning
Desire to win can improve your strength physically and mentally.
US soccer player Mia Hamm is a good example.
Winning means you are doing better than you've ever done before
While we are competing in sports, winning is very important, and actually winning really is everything.
First of all, all the mental and physical preparation is aimed at achieving one simple objective: beating your opponent by scoring more points. We often train for sports by having this goal in mind and to be very frank, nobody has an aim to lose. In fact, other than winning being an achievement to the whole team, it is a goal that boost our metal and physical strength.
In addition, winning is encouragement, with which we will play harder and try to be the best we can be. To leave the field with no regrets is important and sportsmanship is about doing our best in the game.We definitely do not want to say, “We should have tried harder" after losing our games.
Hence, I feel that winning is everything in terms of improving ourselves.
