教学过程：
Step1 warm-up
(1) Listen to a music
(2) Topic : A Country Music Changed Her Life Forever.
设计意图：由音乐引出直奔主题，并引出country music以及今天的课题。
Step 2 pre-reading

(2) What’s the passage about?
Para1. Sarah’s life
Para2. Country music
Para3. Sarah’s dream
设计意图：运用阅读策略2 key words，找出主旨句，并印证前一步的预测。
Step 3 While-reading
(1) What’s country music? Let’s enjoy a country music,
设计意图：配乐听初步了解country music，在此播放音乐的同时，课件播放有关country music的一些信息，我们农村的孩子对次音乐不太了解，这也为para3出现的The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum以及Garth Brooks做好铺垫。
(2) Let students read para2. To get more information about Country Music.
(3) Draw the mind map
What’s country music?
Where’s country music?
What’s country music about?
设计意图： 留多一些时间让孩子们静下心去读文本。

(5) What’s Sarah’s dream?
Why does she go there?
设计意图：教师要引导孩子们分析why did the country music change Sarah’s life?
(6) What was Sarah’s life before?
Read para1. quickly and underline the answer.
设计意图：para1 比较简单，并且主要介绍Sarah，所以运用阅读策略3key words，也增强学生的提取信息的能力。同时继续分析why did the country music change Sarah’s life? 更好的理解笔者的初衷。
Step 4 Make a summary
Students can use their mind-map to retell the passage with their partners.
设计意图： 在总结的同时，统筹整篇文章，捋清文章结够。同时运用阅读策略4 summarizing和阅读策略5 mind-map，让学生更容易的复述文章。
Step 5 After-reading
A country music changed Sarah’s life.
If you’re tired, you can listen to a song.
If you’re sad, you can listen to a song.
If you’re happy, you can listen to a song,too.

When Sarah was a teenager, she used to fight over almost everything with her family. But five years ago, while she was studying abroad in England, she heard a song full of feelings about returning home on the radio. It made Sarah think about her family and friends back in the US. She came to realize how much she actually missed all of them. Ever since then, she has been a fan of American country music.Country is a traditional kind of music from the southern states of America. Nashville, Tennessee is the home of country music. Many songs these days are just about modern life in the US, such as the importance of money and success, but not about belonging to a group. However, country music brings us back to the "good old days" when people were kind to each other and trusted one another. It reminds us that the best things in life are free--laughter, friends, family, and the beauty of nature and the countryside.Sarah hasn't been to Nashville yet, but it is her dream to go there one day. She has already read a lot about the place and done some research on it. She knows that there is a Country Music Hall of Fame Museum in Nashville. There are also always a lot of great country music concerts with famous musicians and singers, like Garth Brooks. Sarah has already listened to most of his songs. "Garth is one of the most successful musicians in American history. He's sold more than 120 million records. I hope to see him sing live one day!"When Sarah was a teenager, she used to fight over almost everything with her family.
