Project Is Australia really a sporting nation?
Thoughts on the design:
本课旨在帮助学生通过一篇“澳大利亚是否是一个热爱运动的国度”的文章的阅读，模仿写一篇关于中国文化特征的议论文。仔细研读，我发现这篇文章论点鲜明、论据确凿、用词精当、感彩浓厚，文章的间架结构组织得非常严密。因此，我认为本节课的重点应该放在处理阅读上，在认真学习了文章的写作技巧的基础上引导学生模仿叙述方能水到渠成。本课原来要求制作一个活动挂图，由于时间、资源等方面的限制，难度较大。教师可以在课堂上要求学生提出设计思路，课后安排一定的时间给学生通过小组合作完成和展示。
Teaching aims:
After reading Is Australia really a sporting nation? the students will not only be able to list the reasons why the writer says Australia is a sporting nation, know how this article is organized, but also realize how to make your article more persuasive;
After learning, the students will be able to display one distinctive aspect of the Chinese culture, organize their projects and present their projects to the class.
By working together, the students will learn how to cooperate in groups when trying to complete a project.
Important points:
Organize students into small groups to prepare a presentation about Australia as a sporting nation.
Difficult points:
Enable students to learn how to write about one particular aspect of Chinese culture, organize their presentation and present their presentation to the class.
Teaching procedures:
Step 1
Have a free talk with the students about countries with some famous aspects of its culture.
Ask: What do you suppose people think about when France, Britain, India or Australia is mentioned?
France—wines, diets, romance
Britain—the British reserve
India—dance, films
Australia—rare animals, beautiful scenery, the 2000 Sydney Olympics, people who love outdoor sports …
Investigate: Do you think sport is an important cultural aspect of Australia? Write the number of those who agree and the number of those who disagree on the blackboard.
Step 2
Get the students to quickly read Paragraph 3—Paragraph 8 of the magazine article Is Australia really a sporting nation? and try to answer this question: What sports are popular in Australia?
Help the students to group their answers into three families: Water sports, Ball games and Others.

Step 4
Get the students to work in groups of four and divide the text into three parts. Write down the general idea of each part. Tell them to pay special attention to how this article is organized and what words the writer uses to make the article more persuasive.
● Part I (1-3) Australians’ devotion to sports and factors that make them love sports.
Factors that make them love sports: climate, space and spare time.
● Part II (4-8) Sports that Australians like.
● Part III (9-10) Statistics prove that Australia is a sporting nation.
Get the students to have a discussion:
Do you agree that Australia is a sporting nation? Why or why not?
Make an investigation again and compare the numbers with the former ones.
Step 5
Get the students to work in groups of four to discuss Question 3 in Part B. Each group then choose one particular aspect and produce a presentation. The students can imitate the structure of the text and employ some expressions from it.
For example, students who think that Chinese kung fu is one important aspect of Chinese culture can present in three aspects:
1. The Chinese devotion to kung fu and factors that make them love Chinese kung fu.
2. Different kinds of kung fu that the Chinese like.
3. Statistics of adults and teenagers who practice Chinese kung fu.
Ask one of two groups to give a presentation.
