T: In the World Park , Linda saw the introductions of the Pyramids. Read it , and then answer the questions.
The Pyramids
Thousands of years ago, the kings of Egypt built strong tombs
for themselves. Over those tombs they built pyramids. They thought
their bodies would be kept in these tombs until they could
come back to life. They also hope the world would look on the
pyramid as monuments to them and would remember them for ever.
There are around 80 pyramids in Egypt. But the Great pyramid is the biggest of all. It is nearly 5,000years old. It is about 137 metres high today, but it was once higher. It is made of 2,300,000 huge stones. Most of them are higher than a man and weigh as much as fiteen tons. It took more than 100,000 men twenty years to build the Great pyramid.
When you look at the pyramids, you can’t help wondering how the Egypians were able to build them thousands of years ago. How did they cut, carry and lift such huge stones Each stone fits so well, yet they didn’t have our modern machines! Scientists have studied the pyramids, but nobody can tell just how the Egypians built them so long ago.
Inside the pyramids are the rooms for the bodies of the kings and queens. There are lots of wonderful treasures(珍宝) in the pyramids, too. Thieves have broken into some of the pyramids and taken away many of treasures to foreign countries. They have even stolen the mummies(木乃伊). Today some of the mummies and treasures are on show in museums in different countries. When the kings built the pyramids for themselves, they perhaps never thought this would happen.
Questions:
1. In what country can you find the pyramids
_____________________________________
2. How many pyramids are there in the country
_____________________________________
3. What are under the pyramids
_____________________________________
4. How long and how many people did it take them to build the Grear pyramid
______________________________________________________________
5. What’s the Chinese for “come back to life” in the first paragraph
______________________________________________________
Ⅵ. Sum-up
T: We learnt many places of interest around the world, all of us want to travel around the world and enjoy our life, so from now on we should love our nature and try our best to protect our world, and then, the world will become more and more beautiful.
Homework
Write an e-mail to your close friend to tell him/her your pleasant trip to a place of interest.
Reflections:
In this class, the students learnt the letter written by Linda, they could take an active part in the class activities, the students’ abilities of reading were improved more or less by practising reading a lot ; most of them could organize a day out in English, but some of them couldn’t use the expressions correctly, so, in next period, I will explain the languages in class.
