Teaching Procedures	Tips
Step 1 Warming up	由茶作导入只是一种思路，老师也可以以“意外中得来的发明”作为导入。
Ask Ss if they know the most popular beverage in China. Show Ss a video about Chinese tea culture, then ask them to name a few types tea. Ask Ss if they know the name of the earliest book that introduced tea in Chinese history and it was wrote by whom.
Step 2Presentation & Reading
Pre-reading Tell Ss that the history of tea can be traced back to 5,000 years ago. Ask them if they know tea was invented by whom and how it was invented. Ask Ss to read the title of the passage. Give them thinking time and ask them to discuss in pairs: What’s the meaning of “An Accidental Invention”? Can you think of an invention which was invented by accident? (Tip: T can look up information on the internet and use the invention of Popsicle and chocolate cookie as examples.)   While-reading 3a Ask Ss to read the passage quickly and match each paragraph with it main idea. Answers: paragraph 1 — How tea was invented by accident        paragraph 2 — Lu Yu and his book Cha Jing       paragraph 3 — How tea spread to other countries Optional Choice: Show PPT P18, ask Ss to read the first paragraph and complete the chart. (Who invented tea? When was tea invented? How was tea invented?) Ask Ss to read the second paragraph and answer the question: Why was Lu Yu called the “saint of tea”? Answer: Because he knew a lot about tea and he wrote Cha Jing — the earliest book in Chinese history to introduce tea. (Tip: Ss are encouraged to give different answers for the same question.) Ask Ss to read the third paragraph and complete the time line. 6th and 7th centuries: tea was brought to Korea and Japan Around 1660: tea appeared in England 19th century: the tea trade from China to Western countries took place Ask Ss to answer the question: What are the influences of tea trade between China and the western countries?

Step 3Language points learning
by accident “偶然; 意外地”, 相当于by chance It is said that ... “据说......”，that后接完整的句子,其中it是形式主语,that从句是真正的主语。 remain是动词，意思是“保持不变；剩余”，作不及物动词时，可加介词短语；作系动词时，后面跟形容词，意为“保持某种状态”。remain不能用于被动语态。 smell作可数名词时意为“气味”，作不可数名词时意为“嗅觉”。作动词时意为“发出......气味；闻到”。 one of ...的意思是“......之一”，后面接名词或代词的复数形式，该结构作主语时，谓语动词通常用单数形式。 take place的意思是“发生; 出现”，它易与happen混淆，二者的区别为： take place是不及物动词短语；常指事先安排或事发有因的事情。 happen是不及物动词；常指偶然发生的事情。 doubt既可作动词，也可作名词，在肯定句中后面常接whether引导的从句，在否定句和疑问句中常接that从句。	此处只摘录部分语法点
Step 4 Summary & Homework
