Teaching Procedures
| Tips
| Step 1 Lead in
| | - The T can encourage Ss to have a free talk about the problems they have in their daily life and how they deal with them. The T can use the following prompts:
- Do you have any problems in your daily life?
- What will you do if you are in the face of problems or worries?
- Then the T can present possible reactions. These sentences all conclude the target structure and expressions. The T can focus Ss’ attention on them.
- Will you run away from them if you have problems?
- Will you keep them to yourself if you have problems?
- Will you do nothing if you have problems?
- Will you ask your teachers for help if you have problems?
| | Step 2 Presentation & Reading
| | - The activity is to personalize the target language and prepare Ss for the subsequent reading activity. If this activity is too personal for some Ss, the T can ask Ss to respond generally by changing the question to ask what kinds of things Ss worry about and who students usually go to for help and advice.
- Then the T can ask Ss to look at the the three statements and the picture and then predict the main idea of this passage. The T can also encourage Ss to talk about which statement they agree with.
- The activity is to provide reading practice with the target
- language . The T may want to have Ss try to do activity 2b in the
- Have Ss read only the first paragraph and try to guess the correct answer a, b or c.
- Have Ss skim the rest of the passage to determine whether a,b or c is the correct answer.
- Task 1 Skimming and matching
- The T can ask Ss to read the passage quickly and try to get the main idea of each paragraph and finish the match task.
- Task 2-4 Scanning for details
- The T can ask Ss to read each paragraph carefully and do the
- tasks. During the process the T should try to engage as many
- The T can ask Ss to close their textbooks and fill in the blanks.
- Then Ss can be encouraged to retell the passage based on the chart.
- The activity is to provide scanning and writing practice with the target language. The T may want to have the Ss discuss whether they agree or disagree with the opinions in the passage.
- The T should elicit from Ss the opinions reflected in the answers to the questions in activity 2c.
- Have Ss work in pairs to share whether they agree or disagree with the opinions.
- 3. Have a class discussion in which the T elicits the opinions of Ss and writes those opinions on the board. The T may also want to ask Ss to support their opinions with personal examples of themselves or of other people that they know.
- The worst thing is to do nothing if you have a problem.
- Because she was afraid they would be angry.
- The first step is to find someone we trust to talk to.
- Because they have more experience than us, and are always there to help us.
- The activity is to provide writing practice with the target language. The T may want to have Ss do activity 2d in the following way:
- 1.Try to memorize the expressions in the box without looking at the passage.
- 2.Cover the box and look at the passage. Try to fill in the blanks with the expressions they have memorized.
- 3.Repeat the process, alternating between memorization of expressions and filling in the blanks.
- To do nothing, talk to someone, tell her parents, unless you talk, share her problems, run away from, discuss your problems
- The activity is to have Ss use the target language to talk about problems with each other.
- 1. Divide the board into two halves by drawing a vertical line down the middle.
- 2. Divide the class into two groups and assign Group 1 the left-hand side of the board and assign Group 2 the right-hand side of the board.
- 3.Have individual members of each group come to the front and write a problem on their respective half of the board.
- 4. Read one of the problems on the board out loud to the class.If you read a Group 1 problem from the left-hand side of the board, choose a student from Group 2 to find something positive to say about the problem, and vice versa.
- 5. For example, if the problem is: “None of my friends are interested in my hobby”, the “bright side” might be: “If you need some quiet time away from other people, you can always spend time on your hobby alone.”
- 6. Or if the problem is: “I don't have much money”,the “bright side” might be: “So you know your friends like you because of you and not because you have a lot of money.”
| | Step 3Language points learning
| | - keep... to oneself意为“保守秘密”
- keep... to oneself 还可意为“不与人来往;不交际”。
- have problems with … 在……方面有问题

- ②have problems/trouble/difficulty (in) doing sth. 意为“做某事有困难”。
- Some students have problems/trouble/difficulty making friends.

| The language points are for reference only.
| Step 4 Summary & Homework
| The homework
can be varied with the specific conditions.
| - Summary The T can encourage Ss to summarize the key points of this class to help Ss consolidate the knowledge.
- Read and recite the passage in 2b.
- Do the exercises in students’ book.
| | Teaching Reflection
| The period is a reading class.The teacher should pay more attention to how to teach students to read rather than just instilling too much language knowledge into students.Teaching process is a process in which the students master knowledge and constitute skills with the help and guidance of the teacher.The process of students' completing tasks is the process of students' finding and solving problems,as well as the process of gradually improving reading skills.
While reading, let the students read with tasks, finish the tasks and learn the new words and expressions.After that,they can use the information to retell the passage.The teacher should train the students in this way.
