T: To be frankly, I’d like very much to keep a close friendship with you, my dear students. I do hope to be your good teacher as well as your helpful friend. (良师益友) Are you good to your friends Do you want to know it Ok, let’s do an interesting survey on Page one. Add up your score according to the scoring sheet on Page 8. You don’t have to tell your results. Just keep it secret. Let’s how many points you get.
4-7 points: You are not a good friend. You either neglect your friend’s needs or just do what he /she wants you to do. You should think about what a good friend needs to do. Think more about this.
8-12 points: You are a good friend but you sometimes let your friendship become too important, or you fail to show enough concern for your friend’s needs and feelings. Try to strike a balance between your friend’s needs and your own responsibilities.
13 or more points: You are an excellent friend who recognizes that to be a good friend you need to balance your needs and your friend’s needs. Well done.

to share my worries and secrets in my inner world,
to show my concern for other people,
to let other people share my happiness

be good to me think about what others need and try to help them
be willing to help others be loyal to their responsibility

Does a friend always have to be a person What else can be a friend
True friendship can exist between any two souls, be it between people or animal. It can happen at any moment, to anyone. Even to lifeless things, like a diary, a ball, a friendship can happen.
Do you think a diary can be your friend Why or why not
Yes, I think it can be, because I can set down how I feel every day in my diary, and let other people read it to share my feelings some time later. Above all, it feels good to write down my thoughts and feeling on paper when I an sad or lonely.

e.g.Can you tell Tom from his twin brother?
Step 4 Consolidation
T:Now that we have got a general idea of these words and phrases.Lets make up some sentences using them to master them.
Step 5 Summary and homework
T:Today we dealt with several new words and phrases.After class I hope that you can read them again and again to keep them in mind and preview the gramma part.That’s all for today.You are dismissed.
The Third Period
Procedure
Step 1 Greetings and revision
Greet the whole class as usual.
Review the useful words and expressions by letting students make up sentences using these words and expressions.
Step 2 Grammar
T:In the last unit,we have learnt something about the direct speech and indirect speech.We know while we change direct speech into indirect speech,we should change many things such as the tense,some adverbials and some verbs.
Now let’s first do some exercises.
Turn the following into Indirect Speech
1.“I broke your CD player,” he said to me.
2.“Are you sure you didn”t do anything to this?” he asked me.
3.“A friend in need is a friend indeed,” Mother said to me.
4.Tom said,“I bought a book for my brother yesterday.”
5.He said,“I shall meet her at my office.”
6.The teacher said,“I must go now.”
7.He said,“I can do homework myself now.”
8.He said,“The house was built in 1965.”
9.“Why was Jenny late for school?” Mr Baker wanted to know.
10.They said,“will you visit the museum tomorrow?”Turn the following into Direct Speech.
11.I said that I would try my best.
12.He wondered (asked) how long it took to do the work.
13.Bob asked John whether he had seen his wallet.
14.His aunt said that she had got there five days before.
15.I asked Tom why he had not told her the truth.
Suggested answers:
1.He told me that he had broken my CD player.
2.He asked me if I was sure I hadn”t done anything to that.
3.Mother told me that a friend in need is a friend indeed.
4.Tom said that he had bought a book for his brother the day before.
5.He said that he would meet her at his office.
6.The teacher said he had to go/must go then.
7.He said that he could do homework himself then.
8.He said that the house was built in 1965.
9.Mr Baker wanted to know why Jenny had been late for school.
10.They asked if we would visit the museum the next day.
11.I said,“I”ll try my best.”
12.He asked,“How long does it take to do the work?”
13.Bob asked John,“Have you seen my wallet?”
14.His aunt said,“I got here five days ago.”
15.“Why didn’t you tell her the truth?” I asked Tom.
T:You did a very good job.Today,we’ll go on to study indirect and direct speech.But firstly,we should learn to tell requests from commands.In English,giving commands is less polite than making a request.So most of time,commands are made by those people who are bosses,teachers,leaders,officers,or some other one who has authority.Now would you please tell which of them are commands?
(show them a slide)
1.Close the door!
2.Would you please help me carry the case?
3.Get me something to drink.
4.Could you lend me 100 yuan?
5.Please turn off the lights.
6.Don’t smoke here.
7.Will you clean the blackboard?
8.Clean the table please.
S:1,3,6 are commands,and others are requests.
T:That’s right.So we can draw a conclusion:
Sentence pattern for commands:Do.../Do not do...
Sentence pattern for requests:Do...please./Can you do...?/Could you do...?/Will you do...?/Would you do...?
Then if we want to change them into indirect speech,we should do like this:
Commands:sb. told/ordered sb. (not) to do sth.
Requests:sb. asked sb. else (not) to do sth.
According to these rules,let’s do some practice.
1.Change these sentences into Indirect Speech.
He said to me,“Don’t smoke in this room.”
He said to me,“Please don’t smoke in this room.”
He said to me,“Could you please help me with my work?”
Suggested answers:
He told me not to smoke in that room.
He asked me not to smoke in that room.
He asked me to help him with his work.
2.Change the following sentences into Direct Speech.
The landlady asked him to put his coat in the closet.
The young father told his children not to move.
Mother told me to lock the door after midnight.
Suggested answers:
“Put your coat in the closet please,” the landlady said to him.
The young father said to his children,“Don’t move.”
Mother said,“Lock the door after midnight.”
3.T: Now let’s do exercises on P12. Ex 2 and 3. Then check the answers.
4.Now let’s use these patterns to make up some dialogues (Ex4 on P12)or let students do it as homework.
Step 3 Reading
T:As we all know,China is a very big country where different dialects are spoken.Can you list some of them?
S:Guangdong dialect,Shanghai dialect,Sichuan dialect...
T:Is there anybody who can speak a dialect from other place?
S:(some students act it out)
T:Thank you!Do you think that it is easy for people to follow those speaking different dialect?
S:No.Some dialects are really difficult to understand.
T:Then how can we solve this problem?
S:We can communicate in Putonghua.
T:Yes.The difference between Chinese dialects are so big that it’s really hard for people to communicate in it.So now most students are taught in school in Putonghua.Then do you think that it is the same case with the US?
S:I think so.
T:What is it that makes you think so?
S:I think that the US is a big country just like China.Besides,it is a country in which many people are from different places.So I think that people may speak dialects.
T:Let’s try to find it out whether it is the case.Now read it fast and then answer these questions.
1.Is there the same case?Can you list some examples?
2.Why are there so many dialects in the US?
3.What is the standard English?
4.Do you think there’s the standard English?
5.Can Americans in Midwestern and southern understand each other?
Suggested answers:
1.Yes.It has many dialects,such as Midwestern,southern,African American and Spanish dialects.
2.Because people have come from all over the world.Geography also plays a part in making dialects.
3.It is believed to be the English spoken on TV and the radio.
4.No.
5.Yes.
A joke about dialect:
One friend of mine was giving an English lesson to a class of adults who had recently come to live in the United States.After placing quite a number of everyday objects on a table he asked various members of the class to give him the ruler,the book,the pen and so on.The class went very smoothly,and the students seemed interested and serious about the work that they were engaged in until my friend turned to an Italian and said,“Give me the keys.” The man looked surprised and somewhat at a loss(有点手足无措).
Seeing this,my friend thought that the student hadn’t heard him clearly,so he repeated,“Give me the keys.” The Italian shrugged his shoulders.Then,he threw his arms around the teacher’s neck and kissed him on both cheeks.
Step 4 Summary
T:Today we have learnt some patterns which express commands or requests.And we have dealt with the reversal of the sentence patterns.After reading the passage,we have known that American English has different dialects.Though there is no standard English,we should learn to pronounce the English words correctly.
Step 5 Homework
T:Today’s homework is to recite words and phrases and make a dialogue using sentence patterns of expressing commands and requests.
The Fourth Period
Procedure
Step 1 Greetings and Revision
Greet the whole class as usual.
T:Yesterday we learnt the sentence patterns which express commands and requests.Who can tell me something about it?
S:To express commands,we can use “Do...;Do not do...”.
S:To express requests,we can use “Do...please;Do not do...please;Will you do...?Would you do...?Can you do...?Could you do...?”
T:Yes,you are right.Then how can we change them into Indirect Speech?
S:If it is a command,we can use “sb. told/ordered sb. to do...;sb. told/ordered not to do...”.
S:If it is a request,we can use “sb. asked sb (not) to do”.
T:Please tell which one is the right answer.
“____________,”Li Ming said to his teacher.
A.Can you buy me a new watch?
B.Give me that book,
C.Lend me your bike,
D.Could you help me with my English?
S:I think D is the right answer.
T:Could you tell me why?
S:Because A is not logical.B and C are commands.In last period we learnt that commands should be made by people who have authority.So I think here D is right.
T:Your explanation is perfect.
Step 2 Talking (Workbook P48)
T:Great.Now let’s practise the sentence patterns by making up dialogues.So please turn to P48 and look at the part of talking.Please work in groups of four.And choose one situation to role-play.
(5 minutes for preparation)
T:Now let’s begin.
Step 3 Listening (Ⅰ)
T:Yesterday,we have learnt something about dialects in the US.Today let us listen to the dialogue spoken with an accent.Please turn to the listening part on P14.First listen and find out how many people there are in the dialogue and who they are.
S:...
T:Now we will listen to it again.After that,you should do Ex3 and try to retell the story to your partner.See?
S:...
T:Great!Now please listen to it again,and answer the questions on the text book.
(after listening) Have you got the answers?Now compare notes with your partner.
T:Are you sure about your answers now?Let’s check together.
T:You did a very good job.
T:So you see,there is some difficulty for people to understand the dialects.Right?So what we do while learning English?
S:We can learn standard English.
S:I don’t think so,because we have learnt that there’s no standard English actually.So I think what we should do is to pronounce better,and use the correct words and grammar.
Step 4 Summary
This class we have review the grammar part by using it in daily life.We have practised reading as well.We learn the language in order to use it.So I advise you practise using what we learnt daily so that they can be part of your knowledge.

S:teachers,books,tapes ...
T:Anything else?Is there anything that you can turn to for help when you are confused while learning English?
S:I think a dictionary is a great help.
T:Yeah.When we meet across new words we often look them up in a dictionary.What is the most widely-used dictionary in Chinese?
S:Xinhua Dictionary.
T:Then which one do you think is used widely in English?
S:I’m sorry I have no idea.
T:It’s Longman Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary.Today,we’ll read a passage on the Oxford English Dictionary on P51.Now according to the title,what do you think will be mentioned in the passage?
S:I think the writer,the time when was it written,why it was written,how it was written,the feature of the dictionary will be mentioned.
T:Now,let’s listen to it to see whether your answer is right.
(after listening)
T:Do you think that your answer is right?
S:I think that it doesn’t mention the feature of the dictionary.
T:Yes.Now let’s read it aloud to answer these questions then.
①Why was it written?
②When did it start to be written?
③Who is the writer?
④How it was written?

T:Do you think it worth so these people”s spending so much time on?Why?Now discuss with your partner and list some reasons.(discuss for about 3 minutes) Now,it”s show time.
S:We think that it worth their job.If there were no dictionaries,people would have no rule to guide them while using the language,which will lead to a mess in English because different people would use different laws to use it.Then there will be more difficulty in understanding one another.With the dictionary,people have a set rule to judge whether their way of using the language is right.
Step 5 Summary and homework
Today,we have learned the words left in the vocabulary and we’ve got some information on the large English dictionary.After class,please read the words again and again to recite them and try to use them to make up sentences.

Procedure
Step 1 Warming up
1. Warming up by looking and saying
“It is always calm before a storm” is a common idiom in English. Literally, it expresses the observation that it is unusually quiet before a thunderstorm or hurricane hits. Show some pictures of natural disasters to the students and ask them to name all the disasters:
volcano, fire, sandstorm, typhoon, hailstone(冰雹), thunderstorm, flood, hurricane, earthquake
2. Discussion (Group work)
Students are given an opportunity to try to imagine what an earthquake could do to the buildings, roads and bridges. (The earth is shaking; all the buildings will fall down; many people will die; many children will become orphans.)
It is also a good opportunity to teach the students the new words and phrases for the unit, such as cracks, cut across houses, roads and canals, fall down, lie in ruins and destroy.
Step 2 Pre-reading
1. For the first question, students must consider what is of most value to them in this situation. Perhaps the students would take are expensive, or perhaps they would choose things with symbolic value. Remind them that this may be the only chance they get to take an item so allow them sufficient time to discuss what is essential (ID, medical records, food or money) rather than what is non-essential (CDs, computer games, books or cameras).
2. For the second question, students are encouraged to look at the picture and discuss what they think will happen before an earthquake. Encourage them to think a reason why such and such may happen. It is not important that their guesses are accurate, rather that they have given careful thought to the situation.
Before an earthquake comes various signs could be seen. What are they
Cows, pigs and dogs become too nervous too eat.
The mice will run out of the fields looking for places to hide.
The water in the wells will rise and fall.
Walls of the wells in village will have deep cracks.
There will be bright light in the sky.
Step 3 Reading
Read the passage as quickly as possible and try to find out what the passage tells us and in what order the text is written. (The text is written in a time order. The text tells us something that happened before the earthquake, during the earthquake and after the earthquake.)
Read the text twice and find out more detailed information. Finish Exercise 2 on Page 27 (make a timeline).
Time Events
For three days before the earthquake 1. water in the wellsrose and fell,2. well walls developed deep cracks 3. a smelly gas came out of the cracks4. mice ran out of the fields5. fish jumped out of bowls & ponds
At about 3:00 am on July 28, 1976 1. bright light appeared in the sky 2. the sound of planes could be heard although there were no planes3. some water pipes burst
At 3:42 am on July 28 July 28, 1976 1. everything began to shake2. huge cracks appeared in the roads3. steam burst from holes in the ground4. rock turned into rivers of dirt5. 75% buildings and 90% of homes were gone 6. more than 400,000 people killed or injured
Afternoon of July 28, 1976 a second quake almost as strong as the first onemore damage to buildings and rescuers
Soon after the quake the army arrivedshelters built for survivors3. water supplies brought in
Main idea
Ask the students to look for the main idea of each part and putting it down in a sentence.
Paragraph Main idea
Paragraph 1 Before the earthquake strange things began to happen but no one paid attention to them.
Paragraph 2 The earthquake destroyed the city of Tangshan.
Paragraph 3 The people were very shocked at the destruction.
Paragraph 4 The army came to help the survivors, bringing hope for a new life.
Discussion (Pair work)
The students are required to explain in their own words what the writer means by the title “A night the earth didn’t sleep” and suggest another title for the text.
Let the students think of some suitable and poetic titles of their own. Put the pairs into fours to evaluate the idea. Then the best title from each group can be told to the class and put on the board. The class can then vote for the one they like best.
Suggested answers:
“A night the earth didn’t sleep” is a poetic way of saying that an earthquake happened.
Another title might be “Tangshan’s great challenge” or “How Tangshan’s citizens overcame the city’s greatest disaster.”
Interview
Students can choose a paragraph and act out an interview between a reporter and a survivor from the Tangshan earthquake.
