Teaching methods
Reading/practicing/listening/working in groups
Teaching procedures
(part A)
Ask students whether they read advice columns, e.g. , newspapers, magazines and websites. Bring in some samples from newspapers and and magazines to show students.
Explain the context. Millie and Simon have both written letters to a youth worker.
Ask students to scan the text and see if there are words that they do not know. Explain these words briefly.
reads Millie’s letter aloud. Ask students to listen carefully to you and follow the text on page 40. Ask questions to check understanding, e.g.
What is Millie’s favorite hobby? (painting)
What is Millie’s problem? (She doesn’t have enough time for hobbies and homework.)
Ask one student at a tome to read a paragraph, ask students to say which parts of the text they do not understand. Clarify any points if necessary.
Read Simon’s letter aloud. Ask students to listen carefully to you and follow the text on page 41. Ask questions to check understanding, e.g.
When does Simon play football? (After school until late.)
How do his parents feel about it? (They don’t like this and ask him to go home before 6 p.m.)
Ask one student at a tome to read a paragraph, after each paragraph, ask students to say which parts of the text they do not understand. Clarify any points if necessary.
(part B)
Remind students that the vocabulary that the vocabulary listed in Part B appears in Millie and Simon’s letters on pages 40 and 41. If students are not sure what a word means, it may help them to read the word in context on those pages.
Ask students to work in pairs to complete Part B. When students have complete all the answers, they raise their hands. The first pair to finish the exercise correctly is the winner.
When students have finished, give the correct answer to each question.
(part C)
Tell students that in Part C, they must play the role of Sigmund Friend, and must “diagnose” what is wrong with Millie and Simon.
Remind students that they can find all the answers in the reading passage on pages 40 and 41. They should complete the exercise by putting a cross or a tick in the blanks. For more able students, ask them to complete the exercise without referring the back to the reading passage.
After checking the answers with the class, ask more able students to look for phrases or sentences in Millie and Simon’s letters to support their answers.
This is a straightforward exercise and students of all levels should be able to complete it on their own.
(part C)
Revise key vocabulary. Write the following words on the board:
advise keep
earlier later
focus help
forget about school work
give up remember
hobby ignore
homework go home
painting study
spend hours work hard
time drawing
stay out hours
Explain that for each word in the column on the left, there is a related word in the column on the right. The words may be opposites, synonyms or related words. Point to the first word and ask the class to find the matching word in the right-hand column. Ask volunteers to come to the front of the class and draw a line between two words to link them. weaker classes might find this task difficult. Go through the words in the two columns with students before asking them to match the words.
Answers are as followings:
advise keep (opposite)
earlier later (opposite)
focus help (synonym)
forget about school work (related word/opposite)
give up remember (opposite)
hobby ignore (opposite)
homework go home (opposite)
painting study (related word)
spend hours work hard (related word)
time drawing (related word/synonym)
stay out hours (related word)
Once students are clear about the vocabulary, ask them to complete Part D on Page 43. More able students can complete the exercise on their own. Less able students can work in pairs or small groups.
Once students have finished Part D, ask two students to read the letters aloud. Praise students for areas where they do well. Try not to focus too much on their mistakes as this will crush their confidence when speaking in front of the class.

勇者敢于提问！Task3 Learn by yourselvesDear Sigmund Friend
I am a Grade 9 student. I have a problem, and I don’t know how
to deal with it.
I have a lot of homework every day, and I have no choice but to
do it. I often stay up late to complete the exercises, and then
feel tired the next day.
Sometimes, I want to refuse to do so much work, but usually I
just accept it. I understand that it is important to do my
homework and hand it in on time. However, I hardly have any
spare time for my hobbies such as playing volleyball and ping-
pong. I really feel bad about that. I often doubt whether it is
worth working so hard.
I am looking forward to a holiday without homework so that I
Can relax and have some time for my hobbies . What shoud I
do? Can you offer me some suggestions? They will be of great
value to me. I hope to hear from you soon.
Best wishes

四、阅读理解
A well-known teacher was speaking to the students at a middle school. He began his speech by holding up a bill of $ 100. He said to three hundred students, “ Who would like this piece of note?” All the students raised their hands at once.
Then he said, “ I am going to give this $ 100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” About 200 hands were still in the air. “Well” he said, “What if I do this?” He dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled（弄皱）bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Only one hand was left in the air. The teacher smiled and gave the bill to him.
“My friend,” he said, “ you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter what I did to the bill, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value. It was still worth $ 100!”
Many times in our life, we are dropped, crumpled and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn’t come from what you do or whom you know. But WHO YOU ARE. You are special and valuable. Never forget it!
( ) 1. Who was giving a speech at a middle school? A well-known _________.
A. teacher. B. artist. C. basketball player. D. chairman.
( ) 2. How did he begin his speech?
A. He stepped on a 100-dollar bill.
B. He poured some water on a 100-dollar bill.
C. He said he would give a bill of $ 100 to one of the students.
D. He made the bill very dirty.
( ) 3. What happened after he made the bill into a ball?
A.Three hundred students still wanted to have the money.
Only 100 students still wanted to have the money.
About 100 students didn’t want to have the money any more.
Only one student still wanted to have the money.
( ) 4. How many students still wanted the money after he dropped the bill on the floor and stepped on it?
A. 300 B. 1 C. 100 D. 200
( ) 5. What did he really want to tell the students by doing this?
The bill was still worth $ 100 even though he made it very dirty.
They couldn’t have such a dirty bill.
They won’t be valuable to those people who love them if they miss the chances.
No matter what had happened to them, they will never lose their value.
