T: Welcome to our school, everyone. You have a new school, new teachers and new classmates. Would you like to make new friends with each other? S: Yes, of course. T: Very good! Step II Warming up First, ask each student to make the survey by filling the form and choose the answers. Teacher shows the scoring sheet to them, add up their score and see how many points they can get all by themselves. Second, teacher shows the instruction. Get the Ss to judge which grade they belong to according to their points and decide if they are good friends or not by themselves secretly. Third, they’ve known how well they treat their friends and what they should do to be a good friend themselves. T: Do you have any friends? S: Yes, I do. I have made a lot of friends. T: Are you good to your friends? S: Yes, of course. T: We always think we are kind to our friends. But in fact, we are not quite sure if we are considerate enough? Now let us make the following survey. First, please choose the answers all by yourselves. The Ss are choosing the answers. T: Are you finished? Ss: Yes. T: OK, I’ll show you the scoring sheet on the screen. Please fill in the following form quickly. Add up your scores and see how many points you can get all by yourselves. Are you clear? Ss: Yes, sir / madam. Show the following form and the scoring sheet on the screen. Situation Choice Score Point 1 2 3 4 5 Total: Scoring sheet for the survey 1A1 B3 C2 2A1 B2 C3 3A1 B2 C3 4A3 B2 C1 5A0 B6 C0 T: All right! I think most of you have got high points. Do you want to know which grade you belong to? Ss: Certainly. T: Now I’ll show the instruction on the screen. Please judge which grade you belong to according to your points and decide if you are good friends or not by yourselves secretly. Show the Ss the instructions. 4~8 Grade I You are always thinking about yourself. You should care more about your friends. If you continue to be self-centered and don’t consider others’ feelings, you won’t make more friends and keep friendship for long. 9~13 Grade II You take things smoothly. You seldom hurt your friends with your benefit considered. You’d better add more affection to your friends. Friendship is about feelings and we must give as much as we take. 14~18 Grade III Wow! How faithful and generous you are! Congratulations! You are always ready to help your friends. Whenever they have any difficulty, you’ll try your best to do what you can to help them without hesitation. T: All right. I see you’ve known how well you treat your friends and what you should do to be a good friend. I hope all of us can be good friends with each other soon. Do you agree with me? Ss: Yes, of course. Step III Pre-reading Get the Ss to discuss the questions on Page 2 with their partners. Then ask the Ss to report their work. Encourage the Ss to express their different opinions. Make it clear that not only can we make friends with human beings, but also with animals and even things that have no life. T: Now please look at the slide show. And discuss these questions with your partners. Then I’ll ask some students to report your work. Are you clear? Ss: Yes, sir/madam. Show the following on the screen. 1. Why do you need friends? Make a list of reasons why friends are important to you. 2. What do you think a good friend should be like? List what a good friend should do and share the list with your partners. 3. Does a friend always have to be a person? What else can be your friend? 4. Do you think a diary can become your friend? Why or why not? After the Ss’ discussion, teacher says the following. T: Now who’d like to answer the first question? Volunteer! Sa: Let me try. I think friends are important to all of us. Because we need to help with each other. Sb: We also need someone to care and understand, to share sorrows and happiness. Sc: Everyone needs a friend to be true to us whether near or far apart. T: Quite right. Next question? Sd: I think my good friend should have a lot in common and our thoughts are always near. Se: I need my friends to give me courage to solve all kinds of problem. Sf: I think my friends should support me whenever I need help. Sg: I’d like my friends to communicate with me frequently. Sh: In my opinion, my friends should have the same kind of sense of humor so that we can laugh together. T: Terrific! I wish everyone to have some good friends whose friendship always be treasured in our hearts. Not only can we make friends with human beings, but also with animals and even things that have no life. How about the third question? Si: Yes, because persons can understand and communicate with each other more easily and conveniently. Sj: I think other things like pets, books, toys, balls, and instruments can also be our friends. T: Wonderful! You have a very great imagination. Now who can answer the last question? Sk: Yes, I think so. Because you can tell everything to it freely, it can accompany me all the time. It never needs me to pay back. Sl: But I don’t think so. Because it’s unbelievable for a person to communicate with a diary. And your secrets will be easily and completely let out in case that it is read by others or your diary books are lost. If I had been Anne, I would have made friends with my parents. T: Most of our friends are human beings, but sometimes we make friends with animals or even things like diary. You’ve done an excellent job. Step IV Reading Scanning Get the Ss to comprehend the passage quickly and accurately and meanwhile help the Ss to form a good habit of reading. Teacher gives the Ss a couple of minutes to look through the whole passage. Tell the Ss to read the text silently and then ask some detail questions about the text on the slide show with their partners. Teacher encourages the Ss to express their ideas. T: We’re going to learn a passage about Anne’s best friend. The story happened during World War II. Now let’s look at the slide show. Read the text quickly and find answers to the following questions. Show the questions on the screen. 1. What was Anne’s friend? How and why did Anne make it her only true friend? 2. Had Anne ever been spellbound by nature before? How about being in the hiding place? Why? 3. Why didn’t she go downstairs one evening until the window had to be shut? T: Now who can tell me what was Anne’s best friend? How and why did Anne make it her only true friend? S1: Anne made her diary her best friend, to whom she could tell her deepest feelings and thoughts. S2: Because during World War II, as Jewish, Anne and her family had to hide away in order not to be caught by the German Nazis. S3: After hiding, she didn’t dare to go out. She felt very lonely and unhappy. So she couldn’t meet her old friends and make any other new friends besides her diary. S4: Maybe she didn’t trust others except her diary, to whom she could tell everything. S5: She didn’t set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do, treating her diary as her friend, to whom she told her deepest feelings and thoughts. T: Exactly. How about question 2? S6: No, she hadn’t. Nature had never have kept her spell-bound before she came to Amsterdam. S7: After being in the hiding place, Anne had grown crazy about everything to do with nature. S8: Because she didn’t dare to face nature, being afraid of being discovered by the Nazis. S9: But she was eager to enjoy the light and longed for the peace and happiness. T: Quite right. Question3? S10: Because she was held entirely in the nature’s power. S11: She didn’t dare to face the night except that evening. S12: She was always worried about being caught by the Nazism, although she was crazy about nature. S13: It exposed the heroine’s complicated and conflicting spirit mood of either scaring and hating the war and oppress, or longing for peace and looking forward to happiness. T: Well done! I think you may continue to read it again to get more details. Skimming In this part, the Ss will read the text again and then work together with their partners to get the main idea. Then teacher shows the form on the screen. Give the a few minutes to fill in the form about the whole text. Check the answers with the whole class. T: Now please skim the passage fast to get the main idea with your partners. S1: It exposed the crimes that the Nazis oppressed the Jewish and made them suffer the extreme misery and hardship. S2: It showed the common ideal and wish of the whole world people, hating wars and terrors while longing for peace and freedom. T: Good job. Now let’s try to obtain a general under-standing of the whole passage, including the diary. While reading, please fill in the form. Show the form with blanks on the screen. Anne’s best friend What Her diary What kind Told everything to When World War II Where Amsterdam , Netherlands What happened Hid away not to be caught Sample diary Time Nature Feeling Before hiding Blue sky, songs of birds, moonlight, flowers Never felt spellbound After hiding Darkness, rain, wind, Grew crazy, held in their thundering clouds power T: Now it’s time for us to check the form. Explanation T: Now let’s deal with some language points. Turn to Page 2. Let’s look at the sentences. I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. This sentence means that Anne couldn’t go out for so long that she had felt wildly exited about nature. For example, when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven one evening in order to have a good look at the moon for once by myself. This sentence tells us that on a very warm evening, Anne stayed up until half past eleven so as to look at the moon for once by herself. It was the first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face.... This sentence means that it was a year and a half since she and her family hid away and she had a look at the moon face to face with the window open by herself. Step V Comprehension Read the passage again. First ask the Ss to do Ex 1 by themselves. And then do Ex 2 with their partners. At last, get them to discuss the answers of Ex 3 in groups of 4. T: Now please read the passage again and then turn to page 3. First let’s do Ex 1 by yourselves. A few minutes later. T: OK, now let’s check the answers with the whole class. Ss: 1. Anne kept a diary because she could tell everything to it. 2. She felt very lonely because she couldn’t meet her friends. 3. They had to hide because Jews were caught by Nazis and put away. 4. Anne named her diary Kitty because she thought it was her best friend. 5. They were finally caught because they were discovered. T: Now, it’s time for us to do Ex 2, please talk about the answers with your partners. The Ss are talking about their choices. T: All right! Let’s choose the correct answers and tell us why. Ss: 1. D. Because in her diary, she wrote that “it was the first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face.” 2. C. Because “she wanted a friend whom she could tell everything to, like her deepest feelings and thoughts.” But it’s dangerous to trust others easily in the hiding place. 3. D. Because she wrote in her diary that “I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature.” 4. A. Because “Her family was Jewish so they had to hide or they would be caught by the German Nazis.” And “The moon gave far too much light.” That means the moon was so bright that it might make the Nazis discover her family hiding there. If so, they would be caught. 5. B. Because the diary was written in June, 1945 and it was in a year and a half that she’d seen the night face to face. T: Now let’s deal with Ex 3. Please look at the slide show. Now I’ll give you a few minutes to discuss the answers to the two questions in groups of 4. Show the questions on the screen. 1. What would you miss most if you went into hiding like Anne and her family? Explain why. 2. How would you describe Anne’s feelings as she was looking out into the night sky? T: Now who’d like to answer question 1? Volunteer! S1: I missed my school most because I was eager to get more knowledge and I had studied there for many years with my teachers and classmates. S2: I missed some public places such as amusement parks, gardens, museums, and zoos. I could enjoy myself and played happily and freely like other children. S3: I missed the department store most because I could buy whatever I wanted, like excellent toys, beautiful clothes and delicious food. I could live a happy life again. S4: I missed my relatives and friends very much. I felt extremely lonely in this strange hiding place. I needed them to support and encourage me to get through the hard time. T: Excellent! I think you’ve understood Anne’s deepest feelings and thoughts. The second question? S5: Anne and her family had to live the life of wandering about and departing from the world. She felt very lonely and sad, so she was just able to make a friend with her diary. S6: She worried that her family couldn’t escape from the clutches of the devil at last. They were at the danger. It was probable for them to be discovered at any time. S7: She was very angry with the crimes for the Nazis to oppress the Jewish and make them suffering the extreme misery and hardship. She also hated wars and terrors very much. S8: She longed for peace, freedom and happiness with the common ideal and wish of the whole world people. S9: She grew very tired of the life without freedom and felt helpless because she could do nothing but to hide away, having her heart in her mouth and living in fear of being caught. S10: She wondered what she could do to change the unhappy situation, but she daren’t face the fact because she was frightened to suffer cruel persecution, not having the power of resistance. T: Excellent job. You have understood the feelings of Anne. Step VI Homework Show the following on the screen. 1. If you had been Anne, what have you done at that time? Discuss what attitude on earth the wide oppressed people should take towards the powerful Nazis, choosing inactive and passive waiting for death, or uniting actively to face the reactionaries and fight against them bravely? 2.

Anne’s best friend What Her diary What kind Told everything to When World War II Where Amsterdam, Netherlands What happened Hid away not to be caught Sample diary Time Nature Feeling After hiding Blue sky, songs of birds, moonlight, flowers Never felt spellbound Before hiding Darkness, rain, wind, thundering clouds Grew crazy Held in their power II 课文 Text Retelling The possible version below can be used as a material for both retelling and dictation. One possible version: I lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War II. My family was Jewish, so we had been hid away for a year and a half in order not to be caught by the German Nazis. During that time I hadn’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I had grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. Once, I decided to look at the moon at midnight. But I didn’t dare to open the window to see the night face to face because I was afraid of being discovered by the Nazis. I felt very lonely without seeing my old friends. So I had to make a new true friend, my diary Kitty, whom I could tell everything to. Unfortunately, at last my family was discovered and caught by the German Nazis half a year later. III 德育渗透 Moral Education Teacher can guide the Ss to understand the text deeply, making the Ss to realize that wars and cruelty will bring incomparably grave disaster. Arouse the Ss to love peace, hate wars and establish the correct outlook on life, which has great realistic meaning. Call on every student to join the League and agree to and fully support the leadership of the Communist Party from now on. Cherish and safeguard the peaceful and stable political situation. Unite with the whole world people who love peace in order to abolish all the reactionaries thoroughly and realize the international communism in the end. IV 写作技巧 Writing Techniques 1. 写作特点 Writing Characteristic 1) Lead in the topic of friends and friendship by beginning with an imperative sentence so as to arouse the readers’ strong curiosity and interest. 2) Insert the form of a diary, using Anne’s diary “Kitty” as the second person to tell her deepest feelings. Reveal the inner world of the heroine by Anne Diary’s clarification and description of her detailed deep thoughts and emotions. 3) Use the sharp contrastive plot, like two groups of expressions “a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers” and “the dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds”, to express the heroine’s complicated and conflicting spirit mood of either scaring and hating the war and oppress, or longing for peace and looking forward to happiness. 1) 用设问句引入日记成为好友这一主题，引起读者强烈的好奇心和阅读兴趣。 2) 插入日记这一体裁，把日记当作第二人称“基蒂”来倾诉感情，通过安妮日 记的“表白”，细腻深刻的心理描写揭示了主人公的内心世界。 3) 通过对比的情节，运用词语如“蔚蓝的天空，小鸟的歌唱，月光和鲜花”与 “漆黑的雨夜，狂风，雷云”，表达主人公既惧怕憎恨战争和压迫，又渴望向往 和平与幸福的复杂矛盾的心态。 2. 文章的体裁 Writing Style The text is a narrative writing, which related a story that during the World War II, as the Jewish, Anne and her family had to live the life of wandering about and departing from the world. Anne was only able to make a friend with her diary Kitty, to whom she tell her deepest feelings and thoughts, accompanying her getting through the two-year fleeing career. A diary of the heroine, which used the first person to relate Anne’s true experiences and feelings, was chosen to make the passage more sincere, natural and moving. 本文是一篇记叙文，用第三人称讲述第二次世界大战的时期，犹太人 Anne 一家 过着滇沛流漓，与世隔绝的生活。Anne 在孤独中只能以日记 Kitty 为友，倾诉 衷肠，伴其渡过两年的逃亡生涯。文中选用了主人公的一篇日记， 采用第一人 称“我”写出 Anne 的亲身经历和感受， 这样使文章更具真实感，使人感到亲 切自然，真切感人。 3. 中心思想 Main Idea The text related a miserable story that during the World War II, as the Jewish, Anne and her family had to live the life of wandering about and departing from the world. However, they couldn’t escape from the clutches of the devil at last. It exposed the crimes for the Nazis to oppress the Jewish and make them suffering the extreme misery and hardship. It showed the common ideal and wish of the whole world people, hating wars and terrors while longing for peace and freedom. 本文通过叙述了犹太人安妮一家在纳粹党人的黑暗统治下，只能过着滇沛流漓与 世隔绝的逃亡生活,却最终难逃魔掌的悲惨命运，揭露德国纳粹党欺压犹太人民， 使人民生活在水深火热之中的罪恶行径。表达了全世界人民憎恨战争与恐怖，渴 望和平与自由的共同理想和美好心愿。 V 写作意图 Writing Purpose The text related a miserable story that during the World War II, as the Jewish, Anne and her family had to live the life of wandering about and departing from the world. However, they couldn’t escape from the clutches of the devil at last. It exposed the crimes that the Nazis oppressed the Jewish and make them suffering the complete darkness and extreme misery and hardship without any happiness. It showed the heroine’s real thoughts, hating wars and terrors and longing for peace and freedom. But she could do nothing but to hide away, having her heart in her mouth and living in fear of being caught because she was frightened to suffer cruel persecution and daren’t face the fact, not having the power of resistance. The cruel historical fact showed to the world that compromise only ended up with the failure. The writer exposed the cruel control of the Nazis, while proposing a sharp question to the whole society, under control of the powerful Nazis, what attitude on earth did the wide oppressed people take, choosing inactive and passive waiting for death, or uniting actively to face the reactionaries and fight against them bravely? Where there is oppression, there is resistance. 本文通过叙述了犹太人安妮一家在纳粹党人的黑暗统治下，只能过着滇沛流漓与 世隔绝的逃亡生活，却最终难逃魔掌的悲惨命运。在揭露德国纳粹党欺压犹太人 民，使人民生活在水深火热之中的罪恶行径的同时，也表达主人公既憎恨战争和 压迫，又渴望和平与自由，却因惧怕遭到残酷迫害，不敢正视现实，无力反抗， 只能过着东躲西藏，提心吊胆，担惊受怕，毫无幸福可言的暗无天日的生活。这 一残酷的历史事实，向世人说明，妥协退让只能以失败而告终。 作者在揭露纳粹的残暴统治的同时，向全社会提出一个尖锐的问题：在强大的纳 粹统治下，广大受压迫的人民究竟应该采取什么样的态度，是选择消极被动地坐 等待毙，束手就擒呢？还是应该积极主动地团结起来，勇敢地与反动派进行斗争 呢？ Reading (II) Teaching goals 教学目标 Reading of Using the language on WB 1.

Teaching procedures & ways 教学过程与方式 Step I Revision First, show the question about the text and the target language on the screen and ask the Ss to discuss it; then ask some of them to retell the text and give some comment, at last get them to answer the question about what different ways of showing friendship are in Hawaii. T: Last class we have learned the story about the Jewish Anne, her family and her diary. The writer exposed the cruel control of the Nazis, while proposing a sharp question to the whole society, under control of the powerful Nazis, what attitude on earth did the wide oppressed people take? Now I’ll give you a couple of minutes to discuss it. Show the question and the target language on the screen. If you had been Anne, what have you done at that time? Discuss what attitude on earth the wide oppressed people should take towards the powerful Nazis, choosing inactive and passive waiting for death, or uniting actively to face the reactionaries and fight against them bravely? Talk about agreement and disagreement I think so. I don’t think so I agree. I don’t agree That’s correct. That’s exactly my opinion. You’re quite right I don’t think you are right. I quite agree with you. I’m afraid I don’t agree / disagree with you. Of course not. I’m afraid not. T: Are you ready? Now, I’ll ask some of you to give your opinions? S1: Where there is oppression, there is resistance. I think she shouldn’t give in the evil power of the Nazis. She should devote herself to revolutionary struggle, like Liu Hulan. She joined the Chinese Communist Party and died bravely for the revolution career. S2: I don’t agree with you. Under the control of the powerful Nazis, she was too weak to rebel against them. S3: I don’t think you are right. She could try to find the organization to unite with more Jewish to fight for their freedom and human rights. S4: You’re quite right. Choosing inactive and passive waiting for death was helpless to change the Jewish fate. On the contrary, it only brought them much more miserable life. S5: I agree uniting actively to face the reactionaries and fight against them bravely. All the Jewish should learn from Karl Marx, who was also a Jewish and founded the Communist Party. Its aim is to lead all the oppressed working people to seize political power through revolutionary struggle. S6: I think wars and cruelty will bring incomparably grave disaster. We should not only love peace, hate wars, but also we can join the struggle against all the reactionaries in order to cherish and safeguard the peaceful and stable political situation. T: Well done! I advise you to join the League and agree to and fully support the leadership of the Communist Party from now on. Unite with the whole world people who love peace in order to abolish all the thoroughly and realize the international communism in the end. Teacher shows the retelling work. T: Now, I’d like you to retell the text according to the chart. Volunteer! Ss: ... Step II Pre-reading Ask the students to read the quotation from Ani Di Franco and repeat the meaning of these sentences. T: Today we are going to learn more about friends and friendship. Please look at the screen, there is a quotation from Ani Di Franco. Read it carefully and then tell me your understanding to her words. The Ss are encouraged to give their own interpretation of the words. Ss: In my opinion, friends here is a broad sense, which means all people around us could be our friends, as long as we have something in common to share with each other. Step III Reading This reading passage is about friendship in Hawaii. After the first reading, let the Ss do Ex 1 on P45. Show the passage chart on the screen. Guide the Ss to guess the meaning of the words according to the reference expressions from the context. Then, let them talk about the questions on Page 45 after reading the text again.

T: While filling the chart, please look for the reference expressions from the context, such as “mean, meaning, that is, or the punctuation, like round parentheses ( ) or quotation marks “” you may know the meanings of the words.

The first way is to use the word “aloha”, which means “to be with happiness” 2. The second way is to use the word “lokahi”, which means “oneness with all people” 3. The third way is to use the word “lei”, which is a garland of flowers worn around the neck. 4. Because all the visitors and natives in Hawaii are all unselfish and friendly like one of the members of a big family like a paradise. 5. People in Hawaii are all unselfish and friendly, living in peace. 6. Their actions are gentle. They solve the problems with understanding. 7. Can you find similar things in your hometown? How do you show friendship to visitors? Sa: Yes, as we know, China is an old cultural country with a long history. The Chinese people are very hospitable. As the citizens of Taiyuan, we are also very polite to visitors. Sb: We also use many polite words to welcome visitors to show our friendship. For example, “Welcome to Taiyuan.” “It was a pleasure to meet you. Hope you can visit here again.” “Goodbye and have a good trip/journey/voyage/flight.” Sc: Like Hawaiians, we treasure friendship, too. Wherever the visitors come from, we’ll treat them like our family and make them feel as comfortable as they would if they were at home. We usually show them around Taiyuan, visit some famous places of interest like Jinci Temple, Shanxi Provincial Museum, Mianshan Pavilion, Temple of Twin Pagodas. Sd: When they visit here, we usually invite them to the big hotel to taste our local flavor. When they leave, we also give them our native product as a gift, such as Fen liquor and preserved apricot. Step IV Further-reading Here is a supplementary reading material on the screen, a poem named “Friends”. Read it carefully and then do some comprehension exercises with their partners. At last, get the Ss to discuss the real meaning of friends and friendship. Ss are encouraged to give their own opinions freely with the target language. T: Till now, we have learned two passages about friends and friendship. Have you really caught the meaning of friends and friendship? Here is a supplementary reading material on the screen, a poem named “Friends”. Read it carefully and prepare to do some reading comprehension exercises with your partners and teach them about rhyme. Show the poem and the exercises on the screen. Friends A friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift, A friends is someone we treasure for our friendship is a gift. A friend is someone who fills our lives with beauty, joy, and grace And makes the whole world we live in a better and happier place. Reading comprehension: 1. Write down the pairs of words that rhyme and add more similar rhyming words. 2. Speak out the main idea of the poem. 3. Study and practise the poem until you can read it with the right rhythm. Then read it out to the class. T: (A few minutes later,) Stop reading, please. First of all, who can tell me what rhyme mean? S: Rhyme is sameness of sound between words or syllables, especially the endings of lines of verse. T: Exactly. For rhyme, the most important thing is that the sound is the same. Would you like to give us an example? S: Clime && time, ball & fall, poor & door. T: Are all of them right? S: No, the sounds of poor & door are not the same. T: Very good! Sometimes the letters may be the same in English spelling, but words may still not thyme. How about this poem? Who’d like to come to the blackboard to write down the pairs of words that rhyme? S: (On the blackboard) lift & gift, grace & place. T: Who can add more similar rhyming words? S: (On the blackboard) Homey & money, inner & winner, brown & clown, book & cook mouse & house, sound & pound, page & sage, test & rest. T: Well done! What’s the main idea of the poem? S: It tells us what kind of people a real friend should be. T: Quite right! Now let’s read the poem together with the tape, paying more attention to the right rhythm. The Ss are doing some reading aloud. T: Now, let’s discuss the real meaning of friend and friendship in groups of 4. Please give your opinions frankly and actively. T: Now, I want to know how you think of the meaning of friends and friendship. Who can give your opinions for the whole class? S1: I think so. Friendship is one of the greatest pleasures that people can enjoy. We can live without a brother, but not without a friend. It is very difficult to find a better definition of friendship. But I think one of the best ways to keep friendship is to return it. S2: In my opinion, everybody needs friends, someone you can share the bad times as well as the good times with. Someone you can turn to for help or advice, or someone who can assist you when you are trouble. This is a friend. S3: I agree with a friend in need is a friend indeed. A good thing in life is the encouragement of a friend. A life without a friend is a life without a sun. Friends are very important to any person. S4: That’s exactly my opinion. The meaning of friendship is respect, which is the base of the friendship. If you do not respect others, they will not respect you either. And they are not fond of you. For example, a teacher thinks his students as immature and forces them to finish their homework which he assigned. When they can not finish them in time, he blames them loudly in front of their classmates. The students will become afraid of their teacher. There will be no friendship between them. If you want to make friends to others, respect them first. S5: I quite agree with you. Real friendship is a rare and precious gift, strong, stable, yet fragile, and never to be taken for granted. S6: That’s correct. Friendship, in my mind, means having people who you know will help you if you are ever in trouble. I think it’s also people who you feel you can actually tell things to and they will listen. I think friendship is more important that anything else in my life. T: Well done. I quite agree with you. I wish all of us make a lot of faithful friends and keep our real friendship forever. Step V Homework Collect materials to prepare an English party or an English paper on friendship.

Guide the Ss to find out what changes we have to make in verb tenses, pronoun forms, and word order and so on. Group work is advisable here so that the Ss can enjoy the pleasure and efficiency of working together. Ss write down what they have found and then present it. Be ready to answer the questions from the Ss. Now comes the teacher’s turn to give a summary,.

How about the reporting clause? S1: The reporting clause may come before, within, or after the direct speech. When the reporting clause comes after the direct speech, the order of the subject and the verb may be changed. E.g. Jane said / said Jane. This typically happens when the reporting clause is within the reported speech and the subject is not a pronoun. S2: Use a comma to connect the direct speech and the reporting clause. T: Quite right. Now let’s deal with Ex2, change the direct speech into indirect speech and indirect into direct, paying attention to the difference and changes in pronoun forms, word order, adverbials and so on, especially the verb tenses. Please do it by yourselves. The Ss are practicing Ex 2. T: OK, let’s check the answers by asking some Ss to read aloud their answers. Ss: ... Step VI Homework 1. Practice of WB (P42.1 &&P 43.2) 2.

Write down the key words as quickly as possible. After checking on the correct answers, getting the Ss to discuss the problem in groups of 4. Give Ss a few minutes to think about their different thoughts to make sure which side his / she is on, Anne or her father? Ask the Ss to form two debating teams and prepare for the debate. T: Now, let’s check the answers with the whole class. We will form two teams. One team holds an affirmative view, liking to support Anne’s thought. The opposition team holds an opposing view, agreeing with her father. During debating, each team should give the reasons why you agree with Anne or her father. And the opposite group should argue with them by presenting your opposite views. In the end, each team should present the decisions you’ve made and give the reasons by one of your members. Understand? Next, give another few minutes to organize two teams getting ready for the debate, offering their reasons why they agree with Anne or her father. Use specific reasons to support their solutions. Teacher shows the useful expressions on the screen. T: OK, I’ll give you another few minutes to organize two teams getting ready for the debate, offering your reasons why you agree with Anne or her father. Use specific reasons to support your solutions. Now I’d like to show you the following useful expressions on the screen. How do you help to solve the problem between Anne and her father? Do you agree with Anne or her father? Use specific reasons to support your solution. You may use the following useful expressions: If I were you, I’d / I wouldn’t... I think it might be a good idea to do... How / What about...? Why don’t you / Why not...? As far as I can see, the best thing would be to... Wouldn’t it be better if...? We have to make a choice... The other idea sounds better to me... Then, teacher encourages the Ss to organize the whole debate by Ss themselves. Each team member should try to give reasons or examples to support their ideas, and try to show that the other side is wrong. Teacher goes around, giving help to the Ss. T: All right. Are you ready? I’d like you to organize the whole debate by yourselves. Each team member should try to give reasons or examples to support your ideas, and try to show that the other side is wrong. Are you clear? Any questions? Don’t be nervous. And I’ll go around to give you any necessary help. Now, let’s begin our debate. Teacher goes around, giving help to the Ss. Two teams: Team A: S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6 think it’s foolish to end their friendship. Team B: Sa, Sb, Sc, Sd, Se, Sf don’t think it’s necessary to end their friendship. T: Excellent debate. Now, it’s time for you to summary your ideas. Each team should present the decisions you’ve made and give the reasons by one of your members. The Ss are doing their work. T: Very good! Now please allow me to make a conclusion. I think both of you have reasonable arguments. Everything has two sides. It is hard to decide right or wrong. The key point is whenever we decide to do something; we should have an all-round view. In my opinion, Team A/B argued more logical. So I announced the winner is Team A/B. Each of the members of Team A/B will get a notebook as a prize. Congratulations! After the debate, the winner team can get a prize, like a dictionary or a notebook. T: OK, we’ve known that Anne needs some advice to help her with this problem. Now, work in pairs and make a list of things she might say to her father to make him change his mind. Think of as many as you can. Share your ideas on how to solve the problem with the whole class. Ss: I couldn’t go outdoors for so long that I’ve grown crazy about everything I miss my old friends very much. But I’m not able to get in touch with them. I felt very lonely since we lived in this hiding place. However, I’m eager to make new friends to communicate with each other. I haven’t new friends besides my diary Kitty. Although I can tell everything to it, it doesn’t understand me. At that time, our neighbor came up, he is kind enough to enjoy helping and supporting me. He can also understand my deepest thoughts and feelings because our situations are similar. He often encourages me to be brave and optimistic to face the miserable present difficulty. He managed to make me believe that our life would grow better in the near future. We usually read books together in order to enrich our knowledge and make great progress. I’m getting along well with him just for helping with each other. It’s a kind of pure friendship, which makes our life easier and happier. If you really love me, please don’t prevent us from our normal communicating. I beg you to allow us to continue our friendship. (以上部分内容由于没有听力原文，暂不能提供参考答案。) Step V Assignment 1.

Teaching methods 教学方法 Pairs work and group work. Discussion and cooperative learning. Teaching aids 教具准备 A computer and a projector. Teaching procedures & ways 教学过程与方式 Step I Revision Ask some of the Ss to read his / her composition for the class, describing one of the problems between friends and how it is solved. Then give some comments. T: Now, let’s check up your homework for last class. I’d like some of you to read his / her composition for the class, describe one of the problems between friends and how it is solved. S: Everybody needs friends. But being a good friend can sometimes be hard work. Learning how to solve problems on friendship can make you a better friend and a happier person. A common problem between friends is that they don’t know how to talk to each other about difficult things. When they do talk, they often get mad with each other. What can they do? Well, it takes time to learn how to communicate well, and it is important to understand why a friend gets angry with you when you say something. If you know what it is that makes your friend angry, then you can try to talk about the problem in a different way. Step II Warming up T: I think most of us have some good friends. Do you know why people make friends with one another? Sa: In my opinion, one cannot live alone in the world, To make our work smooth, we need to cooperate with others. To make our life happy, we need to help with each other. Sb: The society has become more and more complicated. Wherever we go, we cannot be separated from the people around us. Step III Talking First get the Ss to listen to what a Canadian say about T: Now we’re going to listen to what Leslie Clark, a Canadian has got to say about making friends. After listening, please talk about the two questions in groups of 4. Try to use the following expressions. 1 Do you agree with her? 2 What do you think of people from foreign countries? Agreement Disagreement I think so. I don’t think so. I agree. I don’t agree That’s correct. Exactly Of course not. That’s exactly my opinion. I’m afraid not. You’re quite right. I don’t think you are right. T: Who’d like to answer the first question? Volunteer! Sa: I agree with her because... Sb: But I don’t think so... T: Quite right. Next? Sample discussion. Sa: OK I will begin. What do you think of our foreign friends? Sb: I think they are very kind and friendly. Most of them are very humorous. Sc: I agree with you. They always smile. They are frankly and very easy-going. It’s easy for us to make friends with them. Sd: But I don’t think so. It’s not easy for us to meet each other, if you live away from each other. Sometimes it may be hard for us to communicate with each other due to the cultural differences. Because it’s difficult to break language and cultural barriers. Se: But I don’t think you are right. We can make friends with them by reading e-pal/pen pal ads in newspapers or on the internet. In this way, we can talk to foreigners whenever there is a chance. Sf: That’s correct. We can practice English with our foreign friends. We can learn some foreign culture and get new information from our foreign friends. Sg: Having friends who are from foreign countries can help me broaden my range of experiences and point of view. They can help my personal development by exposing me to people, places or things we may not have an opportunity to contact on our own. This type of relationship with friends can be very rewarding. Sh: That’s exactly my opinion. Having a friend of a different culture or lifestyle can be like having a personal tour guide who introduce us to another world. We will have some things in common, which are the basis for you friendship, but also many differences, which we can enjoy exploring together. T: You’re quite right. You’ve done an excellent job. Step IV Speaking First, get the Ss to think of four situations among friends in groups of 4 and design a questionnaire to find out what kind of friends their classmates are. Second, try it out on their own group, checking the questionnaire through and adding up their score and see how many points they can get. Ask them to fill in the form prepared before class. Show the instructions and decide what kind of friends their classmates are. Third, ask each student to stand up and walk around the classroom to make a survey on four of other classmates. Show the instructions and decide what kind of friends other classmates are. They can share your questionnaire with one or two other groups and try each other’s questionnaires. At last, show the instructions to help your classmates to know how to improve his or her skills of making good friends with others if necessary. T: Friends come in many flavors. There are best friends, school friends, fair-weather friends, forever friends and many more. Do you want to know what kind of friends your classmates are? Now let’s make a survey. First, please think of four situations among friends and design a questionnaire to find out what kind of friends your classmates are. 1.

Name Situation Choice Score Point Kind 1 2 3 4 Total: 1 2 3 4 Total: 1 2 3 4 Total: 1 2 3 4 Total: After they finish choosing the answers, show the scoring sheet on the screen. Scoring sheet 1 A0 B2 C6 2 A1 B6 C2 3 A2 B0 C3 4 A6 B1 C 2 T: Now, I’ll show you the instructions and decide what kind of friends their classmates are on your own groups. Instructions: 2~5 A fair-weather friend Only like them when they are happy and popular. If they are feeling down, or if they are having a problem, you don’t want to spend time or talk with them. You don’t help your friends when they have problems. You are always thinking about yourself. You should care more about your friends. If you continue to be self-centered and don’t consider others’ feelings, you won’t make more friends and keep friendship for long. 6~11 A school friend You see each other in school. You just study and play with them together in school. You may not know everything about each other. You take things smoothly. You seldom hurt your friends with your benefit considered. You’d better add more affection to your friends Friendship is about feelings and we must give as much as we take. 12~17 A best friend You do everything together with your friends: study, read, watch TV, surf the Internet, play sports and listen to music. If either one has a problem, the other is there to help. 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.

Whenever they have any difficulty, you’ll try your best to do what you can to help them without hesitation. You devote yourself to your best friends. You are willing to lose what you have, even your life. T: Next, please stand up and walk around the classroom to make a survey on four of your classmates.

You can share your questionnaire with one or two other groups and try each other’s questionnaires. You can help your classmates to know how to improve his or her skills of making good friends with others. Step V Speaking Task There are two tasks for the Ss to finish. For Ex 1, ask the Ss to discuss every situation carefully to practice giving reasons for their decisions. Get the Ss to discuss what they would do in the two situations in pairs. And then ask some of them to make a decision and give reasons. For Ex 2, get the meaning of the word “cool” and then ask the Ss to look at the photos and in small groups talk about whether what they are doing is cool or not. Show the target language to them. For Ex 1, get the Ss to discuss what they would do in the two situations in pairs. T: Now situation I. S1: Neither of us goes to the concert or the picnic. Because friends should share sorrows and happiness. S2: I’m sorry to tell him there are no more tickets. I will go after telling him the truth. Because it’s me that get the ticket and this is my favorite band. S3: Let my friends go, or he/ she may misunderstand me. I think maybe he need it more than me. And my selfishness may affect on our friendship. T: Well done. Let’s go on with Situation II. S1: I’ll persuade him to say sorry to the shop owner because he did wrong like a thief. Being his good friend, I ought to help him to correct his mistakes. S2: Ask him to go back to the shop and put it back secretly in order not to be found and lose face. And tell him never do such things again. This can prove that he is an honest and faithful friend, who is worthy making friends with. S3: Tell him I wouldn’t like to make friends with him any longer except that he correct his mistakes. Because I don’t want to make friends with a thief. T: Very good! I think most of you can solve the problems about friends and friendship. Now, I’d like to ask you a question, what does the word “cool” mean? S1: “Cool” means “fairly cold; not hot or warm” or “calm; unexcited” or “pleasant, fine”. S2: “Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning used to express a temperature that is a little cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. T: “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. We all maximize the meaning of “Cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” “surprising”. Now, please look at the photos on Page 46. What do you and your friends think is cool? Let’s talk about whether what they are doing is cool or not in groups of 4. I’ll give you a few minutes to do this exercise. After that, I’d like you to give your opinions and give the reasons. After their discussion in groups. T: All right! What do you think they should do with their friends. I’d like you to give your opinions and reasons about the photos. Try to speak it out freely and frankly for the class. S1: I don’t think cycling together side by side is cool， because it’s dangerous on the roadside. There are more and more road accidents in this city: too many deaths and too many people injured. They’d better pay more attention to the traffic safety. S2: I’m afraid I don’t agree / disagree with you. I think the best way to spend time with friends is to go hiking and camping with them. Because when we’re camping we are not in any rush to go somewhere and there are fewer choices, just enjoying what we’re doing. S2: As far as I can see, the best thing would be to travel around with my friends. I feel we are adventurous and proud of having been to many places. And it can enrich our knowledge, improve our friendship and we can help with each other. I think it right for them to take photos together, because it can record the beautiful moment and keep the unforgettable experience in mind. Travelling alone is dull, tired, unhappy, lonely and helpless. S3: I agree with you. Traveling can give us a wider understanding of the world and make a better person. I think we feel exited and cool for many people to travel the world. I also don’t think their photos are cool because the clothes are not fit for them to wear. S4: I think that playing computer is cool because I can not only have a chat by surfing the internet but make many friends. Playing computer games with my friends are very funny and exciting. I think it’s the best way to relax after long -time study. S5: I don’t agree with you. I don’t think it’s cool to play games and have a chat just for fun. It’s a waste of time and bad to your eyesight and health. I think we should make good use of the computer and internet. We can send e-mails to all parts of the world at any time, and get the latest materials through Internet. We can also get more information and knowledge, gaining the famous teachers’ instruction through the net-school. S6: I think that getting together with a few close friends is cool because it’s one of the best ways to make friends and improve our friendship. We can communicate with each other more freely and frankly. They can help your personal development by exposing you to people, places or things you may not have an opportunity to contact on your own. S7: In my opinion, as we are young, we should learn to use our time wisely, doing things like reading or studying, in order to develop ourselves for our future careers. Solitary activities like doing research on the internet, are much more valuable than hanging around with friends drinking coffee, gossiping. S8: I think that .taking part in some useful performance activities is cool because social practice can improve their ability and it’s very useful to make the lone old feel amused and happy. Healthy and active amusement can build and exert a favorable influence on our characters or thoughts. I think it’s a good way to spend our spare time. S9: I don’t think taking part in performance activities is cool because activities may affect their study. I don’t think that is cool because the young should spend most of their time in studying. Competition is more and more intense, we have nothing to do but to learn our lessons. If not, we can’t go to the famous university and haven’t prosperous future. As for the lone old, it’s the government’s duty to comfort them. It’s our only duty to study hard. At last, teacher must make a conclusion. T: Everyone needs friends. As part of a large group of friends, or as one half of “just the two of us,” the time you spend with friends is an essential part of a satisfying life. We can enjoy ourselves in all kinds of ways, such as traveling, having sports, having dinner, gossiping, drinking coffee, going to the movies. Whatever we like to do together should not only be good to both of us, but also very meaningful and beneficial to the society without breaking the laws and rules.

You can try your best to start talking to people about what you both like. You’d better find the chance to join in people’s discussion in order to understand and communicate with each other. You may show your interest in their talk. You should try to make friends with one or two classmates. If you want to develop a friendship with others, you should first have self-confidence. If you want others to treat you as friends, you should first treat them as friends. Being a good listener is also important. When listening to a friend, you can show that you are concentrated by looking into his or her eyes and asking questions. I hope my advice is helpful and I wish you make some good friends successfully as soon as possible. Best wishes, Yours truly Lihua Step IV Writing Task First ask the Ss to read the proverbs and choose some you agree or disagree with to write a passage. Second teach them how to an argumentative essay by showing the instructions. Third, give them 10 minutes to write down the passage. Finally ask some Ss to read their passage for the class and the teacher gives some comments. T: Read the proverbs and choose some you agree or disagree with to write a passage. And then I’ll show you the instructions how to an argumentative essay. How to write an argumentative essay Title Choose a proverb and make a good title Introduction Explain for what reasons you agree or disagree Second Paragraph Think out three arguments to support your ideas Conclusion Write what you should do and why Notes: 1. The subject is well-presented. 2. The evaluation is credible and well-supported. 3. It has a clear and effective style. T: I think you’ve chosen the proverb you are to discuss. Which view do you agree or disagree? Now I’ll give you 10 minutes to write down the passages. T: Time is up. I’d like some Ss to read your passages for the class. Possible versions: A friend in need is a friend indeed. “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” The popular saying means the best friend is the one who helps you when you are really in need of help. I agree with the proverb. Friendship means having people who you know will help you if you are ever in trouble. He should be ready to help you especially when you have difficulty. If he doesn’t try his best to help you, he’ll be too selfish to others. If so, you can draw a conclusion that he is not a true friend. As we all know, friendship plays a very important role in our life. However, the problem is that many people misunderstand the meaning of friendship and overlook the significance of real friends. Real friendship is of great necessity for many people who suffer the pains of modern society and do not have a solution. Much to the disappointment of us, it is a fact that friends are no longer that available like before. We must notice that friends can provide much needed comfort and service. They are people one can turn to at times of difficulty. In this case, to have real friendship is the right way out of the trouble. It would be responsibility of friends to help each other out of their trouble. From my point of view, real friendship has really functioned in helping people out of problems and into happiness. The principle in making friends is to be honest and faithful to each other. It is highly necessary for us to start to be honest and faithful to people in order to maintain really healthy friendship. We then have reasons to be confident that in the near future, everyone could be happy with true friends around us. Only in this way, can we pull friendship back to the right track. When you meet your friend, does your face shine — you have found gold? “ When you meet your friend, your face shine — you have found gold. ” This proverb means when you meet your friend, you’ll feel very happy as if you had found some gold. I don’t agree with the view. We can’t mention friendship and money in the same breath. We can’t measure friendship with money. We also can’t compare friendship to money. Money isn’t everything. As we know, money is quite different from friendship, which is a kind of valueless treasure in the inner world, while money just stand for a necessary which has no relation with friendship. Even though some people believe that money will provide everything, it cannot buy or guarantee friendship and happiness. Money makes a man welcomed everywhere, but he can’t make true friends. One has many friends when he is prosperous; but as soon as he is in need, most will desert him. When rich, a man has many relatives, most of whom are but flatterers. In my experience, being on the opposite side of a business deal from a friend or relative can ruin a good relationship and damage their friendship. The idea that friendship can only be measured by money is dangerous. It may mislead people to make friends just for getting as much material benefits as he wants from you. That will corrupt people and produce a money-oriented society. True friends should be honest and faithful to each other. Therefore, it’s high time that we educated people, especially the young, to develop a positive attitude towards money and friendship. Step V Homework Finish off the WB Exx and sum up the whole unit. Collect the materials about friends and friendship to prepare an English party. T: Most of our friends are human beings, but sometimes we make friends with animals or even things.
