Yang guohua ----By Marilyn Manning Warming Up & Leading-in Two proverbs :It’s never too late to mend.
It’s never too old to learn. 活到老,学到老。过而能改,善莫大焉;亡羊补牢,犹未晚也。 It’s never too late to………What?The story in our text will tell us the answer. Now, let’s listen to the first paragraph of the text and talk about the background(背景) of the story . (Paragraph 1)About the background1) What course did the writer attend several years ago?2) What did the instructor ask the students to list?3) What did the instructor suggested them doing after listing the wrongdoing?4) What did the writer think of the task given by the instructor at first?Now please enter the story told by the writer’s classmate next to him?Listen to the story( Paragraphs 2—3 )Is the writer’s attitude right? Will the writer change his attitude? What will the writer learn a lot? CharacterJimmy
(the storyteller)and his buddies and SheriffPlaceA small town
in IowaWrongdoingClimbed the tall water tank,
wrote on it, “Sheriff is a s.o.b”AttitudeHis buddies admitted ,but Jimmy lied.Time: When he was a student in high schoolAbout the story Paraphrase“glorious”: means they thought they had managed
to play a joke on Sheriff as if they were something of a hero.
“No one ever found out”: means he thought he had escaped being blamed and it would be a secret forever.
Sheriff: an elected officer responsible for keeping order and law in a county.s.o.b: rude language , bad words“got it off their chest” and “carrying it around all these years”:
Sheriff thought the writer’s buddies didn’t feel ashamed any longer by telling the truth, while I always felt sorry about the shameful conduct (可耻行为)every time he thought of it.
Nearly 20 years later……….What happened?Why dial the number?What’s Jimmy’s attitude?What’s the Sheriff’s attitude?
Can you give us some words to show the Sheriff’s good qualities(优良品格)?
Open-minded understanding
generous
Have a good memory What did the writer think of Jimmy’s story? (Paragraph 4) Listen1) Inspired…2) Clear up…4) It’s never to late to…3) admitted wrongdoingConclude: It’s difficult for one to say sorry to the other over so many years. In fact , everyone will do something wrong, but it’s difficult to admit it. If you did something wrong in the past and unfortunately hurt someone, then write it down, and tell in the class. when I was 6 years old, once I pretended to be a beast to frighten my neighbor sister. She was greatly scared and began to cry.
After 32 years, I must say to her "Sorry, I wish my apologies come no late”.
My experienceIt’s never too lateMake amends (改正)Make apologiesSay sorry to…to clear up the past and begin resolution . Make a list of the wrongdoing and try your best to take action to right them because it’s never too late.
Don’t keep the box of your friend and regret locked up until it is too late. Explain it before your friend and make your life no regret.
Bye!
