You know your friends very well. You understand and yield to each other. You help with each other and improve together. You have a lot of common benefit. Your friendship is good to both of you. You are mutually beneficial.

课后反思：本课为写作课，写作一向是学生英语学习的薄弱环节。英语的写作与语文不同，语文写作注重篇章构思和文采，而英语的写作前提是把句子写对，避免出现重大的语法错误，在此基础上再尽量把句子润色得漂亮一些，这是更高层次的要求。大部分的学生如果能保证把句子写对，那就是很不错的事情了。所以在训练写作时，应该让注重理清句子成分和结构，关键要把谓语的形式写对。平时应该让学生多看别人优秀的文章，有可能的话可以多背一些优秀的范文。

Possible answer:The reasons why people all over the world want to learn English:★ With economy globalization, English has become the best bridge to serve the purpose of people all over the world communicating with one another.★ However, like all major languages in the world, English is always changing. In order to adjust to native speakers from different parts of the world, it is a must for people all over the world to learn English, whether in English speaking countries or in non-English speaking countries.★ Also, people from different parts of the world speak English with various accent and dialects, and people have to learn about the difference between different kinds of English in order to avoid misunderstanding while communicating.
课后反思：本课是阅读课。英语阅读教学是高中教学的重中之重。许多英语教师对阅读训练也给予了足够的重视，但是在训练方式上却存在较多的问题。多数教师过分注重语法结构的分析和句子的机械翻译而忽视技巧培养。只有在阅读教学中教给学生一些学习策略，培养阅读技巧，才能让学生有可能通过课外自学来扩大知识的摄取量，从而弥补课堂英语阅读教学的不足。由于时间仓促以及学生口语水平的局限，本课时在学生让学生讨论的环节上，气氛不够热烈，讨论时间不足，今后应尽量鼓励学生多开口说英语，以弥补这方面的缺陷。

(STANDARD ENGLISH AND DIALECTS)
Aims
To read out and talk about STANDARD ENGLISH AND DIALECTS
To write about learning English by brainstorming
Procedures
I. Warming up
1. Introduction: In China there’re so many dialects that the government encourages the whole nation to speak Putonghua, which is regarded as standard Chinese.
2. Role-play: Get students to work in pairs. Let one student be a Chinese and the other a foreigner. Role-play a conversation about the Chinese language to have them discuss why Putonghua has to be used in China.
II. Reading
1. Get the students thinking about the topic of the text to predict what it says.
2. Skimming:
Read quickly to find the topic sentence for each paragraph.
Para. 1: There is no such a thing as Standard English.Para. 2: American English has many dialects whose words and expressions are different from “standard English”.Para. 3: Geography plays a part in making dialects.
3. Scanning: Work in pairs. Read the text to locate particular information.
1). Do you know what Standard English is from the text
2). What is a dialect Why does American English have so many dialects
4. Language focus:
1)believe it or not: used when you are going to say something that is true but surprising: Believe it or not, John cheated in the exam.

5). play a part/role in: be one of the causes that make something happen: Besides dieting, exercising plays an important part in losing weight.
III. Listening
To introduce the students to a dialect and a form of standard “English”.
You may follow these steps:
1). Set the context for the students by describing the situation;
2). Tell the class: you are going to listen to a boy named Buford. He speaks a Southern dialect of AmE with an East, Texas accent. Remember: pronunciation is determined by accent. On the other hand, Buford’s teacher, Jane, speaks standard BrE. (i.e. what is heard on the BBC.)
3). Play the tape for the students to listen.
4). Encourage the students to give the standard equivalents for the dialectic words from Buford’s story, using the context.
Dialectic wordsfrom Buford’s story Standard English equivalents
heyy’allain’tyeryapupswimmin’jumpin’feelin’‘bout‘noughshoulda seengot outta hello everyone aren’tyouryouchildswimmingjumpingfeelingaboutenoughshould have seengot out of
6). Play the tape again and let the students answer the questions in pairs after listening.
7). Check the answers. (Variant: you may also ask the students to retell Buford’s story in Standard English in pairs.)
IV. Speaking
1. Make sure the students know that the word used for directions often vary depending on what kind of English the speaker uses. Present the list to the students:
Amy (American) Lady (British)
subway underground
left left-hand side
keep going straight go straight on
two blocks two streets
right right-hand side
Prepare their role-play in pairs: Be sure that one plays a speaker of British English and the other a speaker of American English. Ask students to select actual streets and location in their hometown for giving directions.
Performance: Ask two pairs to perform their dialogue in class.
Sample version:S1: Excuse me, sir. But I can’t find the drugstore S2: Pardon S1: I said I couldn’t find the chemist’s shop.S2: Well, go round the corner on your right-hand side, straight on and cross the flyover. You will find it ahead.S1: Thank you very much.S3: What did he say S1: He told us to go round the corner on the right, go straight on and then cross the overpass. The drugstore will be ahead.Self-assessment criteria:Did you cooperate well with your partner(s) while practicing Can you ask for directions and give directions clearly Can you express your ideas fluently If not, what’s your main problem Did you go naturally between American English and British English while talking to each other.
V. Writing
1. Making a poster
First ask the students to make educated guesses about how English can help some aspect of Chinese life, in particular its economy.
Then, in pairs students work on their poster.
Finally, ask several pairs to present their poster in class for assessment.
A Sample poster CHINA’S FUTURE LIES WITH LEARNING ENGLISHReasons for learning English:World trade is done in English;International organization (such as the UN) use English;We need contact with the developed Western world to build our country;The developed world uses English in its dealings.Why the Chinese language will not do Very few people in the West speak Chinese;Chinese is a difficult language to learn;Most businessmen do not have time to learn new languages every time they enter a new international market.SO CHINA’S FUTURE LIES WITH LEARNING ENGLISH
2.Writing Assessment
Can you give persuasive reasons for the topic on your poster
Can you verbalize your ideas fluently
Can you put your own English learning experiences into a broader perspective
Can you organize your ideas in a logical way
Have you made a brainstorming map before you set out to design your poster Do you think it helps your writing
What kind of mistakes have you made in your writing What can you do to avoid such mistakes
Further Applying
The teacher may also guide the students to do the writhing task in the Workbook on page 53. You may take the following steps:
Step 1: Students divided into groups of four share their own learning experiences and ideas about English learning.
Step 2: Students make a list as follows:
My problems Ideas for improvement Why I like English My future with English
Step 3: Make notes about the paragraphs for the writing.
Step 4: The teacher helps develop ideas in a positive and encouraging way.
Step 5: Students write about the topic after class as homework.
Sample version:My experience of learning EnglishMany people all over the world speak English as their second language. It is not too much to say that it has become an international language. Studying English can make life fun. It enables you to watch American movies, read English books and listen to English songs. Moreover, as English is an international language, you will be able to communicate with foreigners when you are on a trip abroad. Traveling will be more interesting that way. It is a good idea to make friends with foreigners. In my opinion, it is the best way to improve your English. In addition, it will be fun and it will expand your view of the world. If you make friends with a native speaker, you can practice your spoken English more often and then you can communicate with people around the world. You can also become familiar with the customs and habits of different cultures. There are some people who are afraid to make friends with foreigners because they are not confident of their English. However, many foreigners do not care about grammar. They will get your key words in the sentence and figure out the whole meanings. Therefore, it is unnecessary to be afraid to make friends with them; just go head!Learning English helps us meet different people and learn more about their culture, thus facilitating mutual understanding and harmony. Briefly said, English is so useful to us that we should all learn it.
课后反思：本节为泛读课，能体现新课程标准的精神，帮助学生“进一步明确学习英语的目的，发展自主学习和合作学习的能力，形成有效的英语策略”。教学过程中注意师生互动：教师有效讲授引导，学生有效倾听并适时反应，注重学生阅读能力的培养。

The third period: Learning about Language
Aims
To learn about the Present Continuous Tense
To discover and use some useful words and expressions
Procedures
I. Warming up
Warming up by discovering useful words and expressions
Hello everyone. After reading the passage, we have got to know the usage of the words and expressions, but we should do more practice. Now turn to page 20 to find the correct words and expressions from the passage to finish the sentences. You are given two minutes to finish them and discuss with your partners. Two minutes later, check in pairs and then check with the whole class.
II. Learning about language
1. Reading and finding
Good, you have mastered these words and expressions. Let’s turn to page 17 and look at the questions in Warming up 4. Underline the verbs in the questions, and pay attention to the verb forms and do some explanations by yourselves.
2. Learning Grammar
We can see that the verbs are all used in the “-ing” form. They are “the present continuous tense”, but they express future actions or plans. The Present Continuous Tense may be used to denote an action that can be pre-planned or prearranged instead of the future indefinite in colloquial English. But please note that, not all verbs can be used in the “-ing” form to express future actions. Such verbs as come, go, leave, fly, walk, ride, drive, stay, meet, die, see, have, arrive etc. are mainly used in the “-ing” form to express future actions.
3. Doing exercises No. 2 and 3 on page 21
Now turn to page 21 and do exercise 2. In the dialogue a newspaper reporter is interviewing Wang Wei about her plans for the trip along the Mekong River. However, they are not sure about some of the verb tenses. Can you help them complete their conversation
Let’s continue to do exercise 3. Do you have any plans for the future yourselves If you have any, please use the Present Continuous Tense to express your future actions. Give as much information as you can.
III. Ready used materials for the present continuous tense for future actions or plans
