II.The analysis of the teaching material:
1.Warming-up and reading:
The warming-up part will introduce to the students the idea of body language and the ways in which they can communicate without speaking. The reading passage introduces some examples of cultural body language in greeting people. Let the students know that public behavior is different in various cultures, and that although it may seem strange to them, all cultures should be respected. Students should know that there may be actions that they think are impolite or not respectful, but may be ordinary in other countries. They should also be aware that some Chinese body language and behaviour may be seen as impolite in other cultures.
2. Language & Structure
In this part, students will discover useful words and expressions and also learn useful structures---- the –ing form as the attribute ad the adverbial
3.Using language
The reading passage introduces the use of body language as the expression of personal emotions and reactions. Let the students learn to understand the personal body language of other people, and to know what their own is.
4. Listening & Speaking & Writing
The students are encouraged to image the scene as they are listening to the tape. After listening, students are encouraged to act it out with body language. The students are also expected to work with their partners and are encouraged to think creatively, and not just literally. They may think out as much advice as possible and write down some key things and discuss with their partners.
5. Workbook reading and practice
This passage gives the students a little history of the greeting gesture. The gesture varies from culture to culture but its history and purpose are common. The open hand in body language universally shows acceptance, willingness to listen, welcome, tolerance and good will.

Period 3 Using language
Teaching Aims:
1. get the students to use the-ing form as the adverbial and the attribute.
2. get the students t master the useful words and expressions learnt in the reading.
Teaching procedures:
Step 1 Revision
T: Morning, class. In the last lesson I assigned you to collect some information about body language in different cultures.
Who would like to have a try

When an American rubs his nose, it may mean his disagreeing with someone or rejecting something.

While listening, please remember to pay attention to the following aspects: What Lin Pu says and does; What the cyclist says and does; and what the policeman says and does.
( Listen for the second time, pause if necessary.)
Listening material:
Lin Pu has just got his driver’s licence. He has a car too, but he isn’t too happy with it .It is an old car that he bought from his brother-in-law, who smiled happily when Lin Pu paid him.
He is driving for the first time in the city, and is very nervous. Taxis are going in every direction. The bicycle riders are not looking at him, and he is beginning to think that he shouldn’t have bought the car. Suddenly, the traffic light turns red. He can’t stop in time and turns his left to avoid hitting the car in front of him. Crash! He hits a bicycle and knocks over a basket full of apples. And there is a policeman, walking toward him.
C – Cyclist P– Policeman L– Lin Pu
Cyclist: Look what you did! All my apples are on the road! What am I going to sell in the market You must pay me for them!
Policeman: Well, what’s the matter here Don’t you know you can’t be in two places at once Stay in your lane! Watch the traffic! Pay attention to the lights, and stop when you are apposed to! Where do you think you are going You’ll have pay a fine for this.
Lin Pu: I’m sorry. I didn’t see this man. I was trying not to hit the car in front of me. I just got my licence and I’m not used to driving in the city.
Cyclist: I don’t care if you are used or not! What are you going to do about my apples (to the policeman) Can’t you make him pay me
Policeman: I can make him pay a fine. I hope you didn’t pay much for this car. You would be able to buy a better car with the money you will pay for your fine.
Lin Pu: I don’t have any money. I spent all my money on my car. What can I do
Cyclist: You can pick up my apples.
Policeman : You can sell the car--- if you can find somebody to buy it. You have to pay this fine by the end of the month.
Lin Pu: Oh, dear! Why did I ever want a car

have understand the material.
1. From whom did Lin Pu buy the car What kind of car is it
2. Is Lin Pu confident on the road
3. Why did the accident happen How did it happen
4. What was the cyclist going to do
5. What should Lin Pu do for the accident )
Step Ⅲ Speaking 13m
T : Just now, we have listened to the whole story of the accedent. I believe you have known this story well. Imagine, if you are one of the members of the story, and you want to tell more people about this accident, so they would be more careful on the road, your task is to act the accident out. Work in groups of three and use some verb phrases or sentences to describe each picture. Be prepared to act it out using spoken language as well as body language. The following words may help you. I will give you 3 minutes to prepare, then some of you will be invited to come to the front to perform.
( You may not… Always stay… He must … Be careful when …
You must… Never… / Do not … Watch out … You should never … )
( 3 minutes later)
T : Ok, time is up. The hero in our story is Lin Pu, he bought a car from his brother-in-law. So scene one must be something happened between Lin Pu and his brother-in-law. I told you that you have to act it out, so besides words you have to use some body language if necessary. Can you imagine some body language between them
S1: Because they are selling sth. And buying sth, so I think one will give money to the other.
T : Good, any more
S2 : …. S3 : …. S3 : ….
T : Are you ready OK, … and … you two, will you come to the front “To drive or not to drive”, scene 1, action!
T : So Lin Pu happily drove his car on the road. Can you guess his feeling in the car
S1: Maybe he is excited. S2: Maybe he is worried!
T : That’s right, so what will he do in his car
S1: He may nervously look around. S2: … S3 : ….
T : So let’s welcome, scene 2, action!
T : But in fact, a certain person is riding a bike nearby. As you can imagine, an accident happened! scene 3, action!
T : When an accident happened, usually what will happen first
Ss : quarrel.
T : Yes, let’s see, how will they quarrel! scene 4, action!
T : Of course, we won’t let the quarrel last long. Policeman will usually appear in time. scene 5, action!
T : Good actors! Anyhow, I hope next time, when you are on the road, you should be more careful!
Step Ⅳ Writing
1). Pre-writing 4m
T : During the story of Lin Pu, and your roll play we can see clearly that sometimes, we have to use body language to help us express our emotions. There are many kinds of body languages, but if we want to classify them into two kinds, then we will get body language expressions showing positive and negative feelings. In short, we have positive body language and negative body language.
T : If you use use a positive body language, others may think that you are happy, and maybe you are kind and friendly to others. Can you make a list of the positive body languages
S1: I think smiling is a way.
T : Excellent, any different answers
S2: How about nodding
T : That’s right. That is to say, you agree with the other people.
S3: ……
T : Just opposite to the positive body language, negative body language just shows that you are not satisfied with sb. and act in a way that makes the other people feel uncomfortable. Can you show me some examples
S4: … S5: ……
(Holding your arms across your chest; Rolling your eyes and turning your head away; Closing your hand and shaking it at someone)

1. What’s wrong with Lin Pei 2. What are her strange behaviors
3. Why her behaviors worry you 4. Why did she act in that way
5. Why is body language important 6. What is your advice for her
