三. 具体内容:
课文讲解:
It was Election Day at Sunshine Middle School. Erica was running for student president. “If you elect me president,” she shouted, “there’ll be no more yucky food! And no more school uniforms!” All the students cheered loudly. Erica was confident. She’d spent a lot of time finding out what the students disliked.
Now it was Michael’s turn. “I cannot change everything students don’t like about the school,” he began seriously. “But I promise to work hard for you.”
Election Promises
“Boring!” Erica thought. She knew she was going to win the election. When Michael finished, the audience clapped. After the students voted, all the votes were counted. At the end of the day, the principal announced, “The new president is Michael!”
Erica was really surprised. She could not understand why the students voted for him instead of her. She’d made promises about all the important issues. Her best friend, Jenny, came running up to her. “Erica, I’m so sorry,” she said.
“I just can’t believe it,” Erica began. “They must have counted the votes wrong. I’ll ask them to count them again!” Jenny shook her head. “I’m sorry, Erica, but there was no mistake. I didn’t want to tell you, but all the students I know voted for Michael.”
“I don’t understand,” said Erica. “The kids were cheering at my speech. I told them everything they wanted to hear.” “That’s just it,” said Jenny. “You made popular promises, but everybody knew that you wouldn’t be able to keep those promises. They thought you’d say anything to get elected.”
Erica knew one thing for sure: next time she wouldn’t make promises she couldn’t keep.
What is Erica upset about
a. Losing the election. b. Losing her best friend.
c. Getting caught lying. d. Problems in school.
Forming Opinions: What Do You Think
A: Guided Writing
1. A student writes his opinion of the story, but there are two sentences that do not belong. Find the sentences that don’t belong, and put a line through them.
Election Promises
I could tell from the beginning of the story that Erica was not going to win the election. I was glad she didn’t win because I didn’t like her attitude. My school has elections for student president, too. First of all, her promises were too big. She was just a student – how could she change the things she promised There are things that I would like to change at my school, though. Next, I didn’t like the way she acted toward Michael. She thought his speech was boring. Finally, she didn’t accept the result. She wanted the votes counted again! I think she was too confident. She should have paid more attention to what the students were really thinking.
