This is my seat
It was a woman's first time on a plane. She boarded the plane and found herself a window seat.
After she settled in, a man came over and insisted that she was in his seat. She ignored him and told him to go away.
"Okay," replied the man. "If that's the way you want it, you fly the plane."
An English Nursery Rhyme
Hush-a-bye, baby,
Daddy is near,
Mammy's lady,
And that's very clear.
不要吵，小宝宝，
爸爸陪你来睡觉；
妈妈不是男子汉，
这件事情你知道。
Part 2: Teaching Resources(第二部分:教学资源)
I. Background readings
1. Kings of Furniture
Bookcase, Cabinet (furniture), Chest, China cabinet, Cupboard, Dresser (Chest of drawers) , Sideboard, Wardrobe, Bench, Chair, Couch, Footstool, Love seat, Ottoman, Recliner, Settee, Sofa
Stool (type of chair) , Coffee table, Desk, End table, Folding table, Table, Bedroom set (group) , Dinette (group) , Dining set (group) , Street furniture , Bed, Headboard, Hutch
2. Bedrooms in North America and Europe
Many houses in North America and Europe have at least two bedrooms – usually a master bedroom (dedicated to the heads of the household, such as a husband and wife) and one or more bedrooms for either the children or guests.
In buildings with multiple self-contained housing units (e.g., apartment), the number of bedrooms vary widely. While many such units have at least one bedroom – frequently, these units have at least two – some of these units may not have a specific room dedicated for use as a bedroom.
Furniture and other items in bedrooms vary greatly, depending on taste and local tradition. For instance, a master bedroom may include a bed of a specific size (double, king or queen-sized); one or more dressers (or perhaps, a wardrobe armoire); a nightstand; one or more closets; and carpeting. Built-in closets are less common in Europe than in North America; thus there is greater use of freestanding wardrobes or armoires in Europe.
Bedding used in northern Europe (especially in Scandinavia) is significantly different than that used in North America and other parts of Europe.
Some bedrooms also include such items as a make-up desk, television, air conditioning and various accessories (such as lamps, telephone and an alarm clock).
Sometimes, a master bedroom is connected to a dedicated bathroom.
In addition to a bed (or, if shared by two or more children, a bunk bed), a child's bedroom may include the requisite closets and dressers, plus items such as a toy box, desk and other items.
II. Fun materials (趣味材料)
An English song: JACK AND JILL 杰克和吉尔
1.Jack and Jill went up the hill
TO fetch a pail of wa-ter
Jack fell down broke his crown
And Jill came tum-blingofter
2. Up Jack got and home did trot
As fast as he could caper
Went to bed to mend his head
With vinegar and brown paper .
3. Jill came in and she did grin
To see his paper plaster
Mother, vexed, did scold her next,
For causing Jack’s disaster.
歌词大意
1．杰克和吉尔上山去打水。杰克一跤摔破头，吉尔跟着也摔倒
2．杰克爬起来，撒腿跑回家，跑到床上用醋和牛皮纸包住头。
3．吉尔进门，一看见他的纸膏药，就忍不往地笑。妈妈生气地训了她，因为她让杰克倒了霉。
