Teaching Procedures	Tips
Step 1 Warming up
Show PPT P7 to Ss, ask the question and encourage Ss to talk freely with their partners. Did you have any change in your personality, hobby or behavior in the past years?
Step 2Presentation & Reading	文中有一些短语是可以通过上下文推测出意义的。U2 Section B的阅读里学了inferring这种阅读策略，此处可做实操。
Pre-reading Show the picture in P27 from the textbook to Ss. Ask them to look at the picture and answer the questions: 1. What do you think the girl in the picture is doing? 2. What’s in her hand? What’s she like? 3. Is she outgoing or is she shy? Write the title of the article on the board. Ask Ss to look at the title and answer the questions: 1. What was the girl like in the past? 2. What kind of music does she like? 3. What do you think the reading passage is about? While-reading 3a Ask Ss to read the article quickly and finish the task in 3a. Answers: 2, 3, 1 Ask Ss to read the article again and explain the following phrases according to the context: take up, hang out, fight on, make it to the top / make it (Tip: T can ask Ss to explain how they get the meaning of the phrases.) Show the chart on PPT P16 to Ss. This time, ask them to read for the details. Tell them that they need to make a comparison of how Candy has changed in her personality, behavior, troubles and worries. (Tip: T can draw the same chart on the board and invite Ss to complete the chart on the board.) 3b Without having Ss read the passage again, ask them to fill in the blanks in 3b. Ss can try to guess the answer based on the construction and context of the sentence. (Ss should make some connection between what they have read and the sentences in the activity.) Answers: 1.anymore  2.popular  3.hang out  4.worry about Optional Choice: Ask Ss to read the second paragraph again and find out the advantages and disadvantages of becoming famous. (Tip: T can encourage Ss to check the answers with their partners.) Read the third paragraph again and answer the question: What suggestions did Candy give to those who want to become famous?
Step 3Language points learning
interview的用法 interview v. 采访；面试  n. 面试；访谈 interview的常用短语有： interview sb. 采访某人 interview sb. about sth. 就某事采访某人 have an interview with sb. 采访某人 take up的用法 take up “(通常作为爱好）开始学习，开始练习”，后面可以接名词或动名词（短语）。take up还有“占据”的意思。 dare的用法 dare v. “敢于；胆敢”，通常不用于进行时态。dare作实义动词时后面跟动词不定式(to + v.)作宾语，有人称和数以及时态的变化。构成疑问句和否定句时常借助助动词do。 don’t you dare 你敢，谅你不敢（用于口语，表示让人绝不要做某事）。 how dare you 你竟敢（用于口语，表示对某人的行为或话语很气愤） I dare say 我想；可能；大概 the road to success的用法 the road to success “通向成功的路”，其中to是介词，后面跟名词或v.-ing形式。 the road to sth.是英语的一种固定表达方式，此处road并非指真实的“道路”，属于修辞手法，意指“途径；通道”。它可以独立使用，承担句子的主语、宾语等。但更多时候，the road to ...会与系动词be及其他一些行为动词搭配，构成to be on / along the road to ...等句式，表达出“快速地；不多久”这样的意思，汉语通常译作“很快就要......；不久就会......”。	此处只摘录教学课件中的部分语法点。
Step 4 Summary & Homework
Post-reading Ask Ss to pair up and decide who will be the interviewer and who will be Candy. Get Ss attempt an interview using the information only in paragraph 2. After that, they should switch roles and attempt an interview using the information in paragraph 3. (Tip: Ask Ss to notice that in the article when interviewer states one question Candy seems usually gives a very long reply. This may not always be the case and more often than not, people tend to give shorter answers. Tell the Ss playing the role of Candy that they should not be giving all the answers at once. They will need to give a little a time and allow the interviewer to ask more questions or prompt them to say more.) Optional Choice: T can guide Ss to think more about “fame” by asking the following questions: In the article Candy said, “you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is.” However, many young people in the limelight do not realize that fame often comes at a price. How do you think about that? How do the celebrities influence young people? Summary Ask Ss to do the exercises from PPT P45-47. Homework: Preview the grammar points in U4. Do the exercises in students’ book.
Teaching Reflection	In this period，reading practice is important.We learn a lot of new words and expressions while we are reading.The students must pay enough attention to the new words in 3a as well as they finish the task. It is a good idea to ask them write down the useful phrases in the reading materials. They can learn from these models and copy them when writing their own articles.
