Procedures
1. Warming up by learning about disability
Hello, class. Nice meeting you and learning English with you.
Everyone hopes that he may live well. But some are not living well because they are disabled. And in this first period we shall learn to help those disabled people to live well. But first what is disabled What is disability
A disabled person is one who has a condition called a disability that interferes with his or her ability to perform one or more activities of everyday living. For example, indoors and going outside, getting dressed, communicating with others.
Then what are the types of disability "Disability" can be broken down into a number of broad sub-categories, which can include the following: physical impairments affecting movement, sensory impairments, neurological impairments, cognitive impairments and psychiatric conditions.
To know more about disability, let’s go to page 2.
2. Pre-reading by visiting the Family Village website
To know more about disability and its solution get online now to http://www.familyvillage.wisc.edu/index.htmlx ( http: / / www.familyvillage.wisc.edu / index.htmlx ).
Welcome to the Family Village! We are a global community that integrates information, resources, and communication opportunities on the Internet for persons with cognitive and other disabilities, for their families, and for those that provide them services and support.Our community includes informational resources on specific diagnoses, communication connections, adaptive products and technology, adaptive recreational activities, education, worship, health issues, disability-related media and literature, and much, much more! So stop in, stroll around, and visit some of the Family Village's attractions. Simply click on a place to explore and discover a cornucopia of useful information! Let us know what you like (or dislike) and visit often, for our village is constantly changing.
3. Reading aloud to the tape
Reading aloud to the recording of the text improves our literacy skills -- reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Now turn to page 2. First we shall listen and read aloud to the recording of the text. Try to read aloud the text as loudly and correctly as possible.
4. Reading for the forms
It is unlikely that you will understand 100 percent of the vocabulary in the text, especially at a first reading. Use first the context and then your own knowledge of the subject to help you guess the meaning of unknown words.
A really useful way to help us with our listening is to become aware of 'thought groups' .
When we speak, we need to divide speech up into small 'chunks' to help the listener understand messages. These chunks or thought groups are groups of words which go together to express an idea or thought. In English, we use pauses and low pitch to mark the end of thought groups.
Then we shall go over the text to read it to: cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the predicates, darken the connectives and underline all the useful collocations.
5. Reading to transfer information
Writers structure, or organize, their writing in many different ways. Recognizing the way in which a text has been organized will help you understand its meaning more fully.
Now let’s go over the text once again. While going over it look for information to complete the chart below.
Marty’s story
Why are there not many people in the world like me Because: I have a muscle disease that sometimes makes me very weak and I can’t run or climb stairs as quickly as other people. I am clumsy and drop things or bump into furniture.
What is my motto Live one day at a time.
When did I get weak Up until I was about 10 years old, I was the same as everyone else in my class. Then I started to get weaker and weaker.
What was the worst thing about my life One of the worst things about my disease is that I don’t look any different from other people.
Do I have a good life All in all, I have a good life.
What is my ambition My ambition is to work in the computer industry when I grow up. I am the only student in my class to have a pet snake.
What has my disability made me In many ways my disability has made me grow stronger and more independent.
What do I think of having a disability Just having a disability doesn’t mean your life is not satisfying.
6. Drawing a diagram of the text and retell it with the help of the diagram
Writers structure, or organize, their writing in many different ways. Recognizing the way in which a text has been organized will help you understand its meaning more fully.
Scan the text for the topic sentence of each paragraph to make a diagram of the text. Then we shall try to retell the text in our own words with its help.
7. Do comprehension exercises in page3, edition 21, Learning English,
8. Do the preparation for language study.
Period 3 语言讲解课(2课时)
Introduction
In this period students will be first helped by the teacher to discover and learn to use some useful words and collocations, and then to discover and revise the infinitive. The following steps of teaching may be taken: warming up by working on the type of writing and summary of Marty’s story,learning about the Infinitive,listening, reading and completing, learning and finding,making sentences with the Infinitive and closing down by reading a poem in English.
Objectives
To help students revise the infinitive
To help students discover and learn to use some useful words and collocations
To help students discover and learn to use some useful structures
Procedures
I.Warming up by working on the type of writing and summary of Marty’s story
It is important to find main ideas when reading. Main ideas help you remember important information. The main idea of a paragraph tells the topic of the paragraph. The topic tells what all or most of the sentences are about. The other sentences in the paragraph are called details. Details describe or explain the main idea. Read the text to find the main idea.
We shall first go back to page 8 to read the text to complete the table below.
Type of writing
An email
Summary of the email

Period 5 语法课 (2课时)
Learning about the Infinitive
Infinitive
An infinitive is the simple present form of a verb used as either a noun, adjective, or adverb. The verb of the infinitive is normally preceded by the word to. When the infinitive follows some verbs as the direct object, the “to” may be dropped.
An infinitive phrase is the infinitive plus any complements and any modifiers of the infinitive and complements.
As a Noun: He helped to write the program.
As an Adjective: Lydia was looking for a way to earn money.
As an Adverb: He shouted to get our attention.
To Dropped: He helped write the program.
In the above examples, the infinitive is italicized and the infinitive phrase is underlined.
3. Learning and finding
What is an Infinitive
The infinitive usually occurs with 'To' (for example To go, To come, To wear etc.), except after an auxiliary or modal verb.
It is a verb form that shows no person, tense or aspect.
EXAMPLES OF THE INFINITIVE:
I had to go I must go I want to sing You don't know her You may come
The following verb forms are derived from the Infinitive:
i/ Imperative (same as Infinitive but without 'To')
ii/ Present Simple (same as Infinitive without 'To' but the third person singular takes 's')
iii/ Present Participle or Gerund (add 'ing')
Now read the text once again to find and copy on page 5 all sentences which contain examples of the Infinitive.

5. Listening, reading and completing
Now you are going to listen to a short paragraph about Zhang Haidi.
The model status of Zhang Haidi (Shandong Province, 1955), widely publicized in print and in propaganda posters from 1983 on, is an interesting one. Zhang Haidi, also known as Ling Ling, became a paraplegic at the age of five following four operations for the removal of tumors in her spine. When she received news that her illness was incurable, she was reported to have attempted to commit suicide by taking sleeping pills, an action usually considered as a betrayal of the revolution and as evidence of discontent with socialism, and therefore as the act of a coward. She never went to school, but through diligent self-study, she learned to read books on politics, literature and medical science. She also learned foreign languages, including English, Japanese and German. She did not only function as a model because of her intellectual accomplishments or her devotion to serving others, but also because "... In Lei Feng, Chinese youths had to reach for communism. In Zhang Haidi, communism reaches for Chinese youths."
Now you are to complete the two paragraphs on page 4 choosing the right words from the list.

2. Listening and discussing about Barry Minto
Barry Minto is being interviewed by a radio reporter about his climbing of the Mount Kilimanjaro.
Now listen to the recording and do exercises 1 and 2 on page 6.
The pain of being blind and deafCan you imagine what your life would be like if you were blind AND deaf I dread having to make a train journey on my own, for example when there is a delay I have no idea what is happening - no one tells me! I find going out to pubs and restaurants difficult because the lights are often too bright for me. I cannot see that there are steps ahead and will often fall over and also tend to knock into chairs and tables that are not in my field of vision. Rather than people helping me they stare and snigger — is this really the sign of a modern society
Problems the blind and weak-sighted climbers might haveThey might get lost on the way up and down the mountain.They might fall over rolling down the mountain.They might not see the top even if they are on the top.They might not be able to choose the shortest way up and down the mountain.They would have to take a stick up and down the mountain.

Could we make us of the collocations and structure patterns learned so far in this unit to make a conversation about the car accident Just have a try.
Car Accident 交通事故Teacher: Does everyone wear a seatbelt each time they drive or ride in a car Mike: No. Seatbelts are for wimps(古板的人,谨小慎微的人). Besides, I'm a great driver.Teacher: The chances of being injured in a car accident this year are 1 in 75. I think that's worth talking about.Lisa: Have you ever been involved in an auto accident Teacher: Only once. My car hydroplaned (在积水的路面上行驶)on a rainy night and went off the road. Fortunately I was wearing my seatbelt.Lisa: Last December my brother died in an accident. He was in the back seat of his friend’s jeep when it rolled. He wasn't wearing a seatbelt.Teacher: Fastening your seatbelt should be an automatic thing as soon as you get into your car. But too many people still refuse to wear a seatbelt.Lisa: I wouldn't think of going anywhere without wearing a seatbelt.Mike: It's just hard for me to get in the habit of wearing one.Teacher: All it takes is one close-call (侥幸脱险,死里逃生)and you'll wear your seatbelt. You really ought to think twice about not wearing one the next time you got in a car. It may save your life.Lisa: The doctors said it would have saved my brother.

To end this period we are to write a letter of suggestion based on the one learned just know.
Mr Li Huaqing Wang Fang Chief architect 64 Wucheng RoadTeaching Building Designs Taiyuan44 Long Cheng StreetTaiyuan27 SeptemberDear Mr Li Huaqing, I read/ in the newspaper that/ you are the architect/ who is to design the new school teaching building. I am writing/ to ask you/ to consider the matter of easy use of the school teaching building/ by disabled students. In particular, I would like you/ to consider the following things:1 Access to the school/ for students/ in wheelchairs/ and those/ who have difficult walking. There should be lifts/ to all part of the teaching building/ including toilets, the classrooms, teachers rooms/ and the labs. The buttons/ in the lift/ should be easy/ for students /in wheelchairs/ to reach/ and the lift should be attractive/ and comfortable. In some teaching buildings, the lifts are at the back of the building/ in cold, unattractive areas. This makes disabled studnets feel/they are not as important/ as other students.2 Earphones/ for students/ who have trouble hearing. There should be earphones/ beside all seats, not just a few. This will allow hearing-impaired students/ to enjoy the company of their hearing classmates/ rather than having to sit/ in a special area.3 Raised seating. The seats/ at the back of the classrooms/ should be placed higher/ than the ones/ at the front/ so that everyone, /whether they are short/ or tall, can see the blackboard/ easily. There should be a space/ at the end of each row/ so that students/ in wheelchairs/ can sit/ beside their classmates.4 Toilets. There should be toilets/ for the disabled/ near the entrances/ to the teaching building. It is not good enough/ to have only one disabled toilet/ in the basement/ a long way/ from where the lesson is going on.5 Bike parking. Of course, there also have to be bike parking space /especially for the disabled/ and it should be easy/ for them/ to get/ from the bike park/ to the building.Thank you/ for reading my letter. I hope you will consider my suggestions. Disabled students should have the same opportunities as /able- bodied students to use the building/ and they should be able to do so/ with dignity. I am sure/ many students will praise your building/ if you design it/ with good access/ for disabled students. The school leaders will also be happy/ as more students will be able to go schooling there.Yours sincerely,Wang Fang

Marty’s story
Up until I was about 10 years old, I was the same as everyone else in my class.
I don’t look any different from other people.
My life is a lot easier at high school than it was at primary school.
I have a muscle disease.
In many ways my disability has made me grow stronger and more independent.
All in all, I have a good life.
