- Look at things that you wear and use. What are they made of? Where were they made?
- Then the T can encourage Ss to talk about things made in China and express their opinions:
- What do you think of things made in China?
- The T can set a scene and and ask Ss to brainstorm some local products in different countries so that Ss’ can be more involved in the class and prepare well for the following reading task.

- Then the T can tell Ss that most of these products are made in China.Things made in China have been all over the world.
- The T can play a video about a blogger’s one-day experience in America of avoiding using things made in China. After watching the video, the Ss can exchange their feelings.
| | Step 2 Presentation & Reading
| | - The T can ask Ss to talk about the title and the picture in 3a and have a discussion. The T can use these prompts:
- 2. Does he want to buy Chinese products or American products?
- 3. Is it easy for him to buy American products? Why?
- The T make Ss read the passage quickly and find the key information to finish the task in 3a. Then the T can invite some Ss to share answers with the class.
- 1.He wanted to buy a toy car and a pair of basketball shoes.
- 2. Most of the shoes and toys that he found were made in China.
- The activity is to encourage Ss to read for details and to express their opinions in response to what they have read. The T can ask Ss to read the questions first. Ss read the passage again carefully and finish the task in 3b. Then the T can invite some Ss to share answers with the class.

- The T can extend the activity by conducting a class discussion based on question 5. Encourage Ss to express their opinions about so many foreign brands having their products made in China and how they feel about it and why they feel about it.
- At last, the T can summarize the passage with Ss by asking the following questions:
- Which is the most important key word in the title?(difficult)
- Why do you think so?(The passage is about how difficult Kang Jian’s search for products made in America was.)
- The T can point out to Ss that the aim of this activity is to enhance their understanding of the use of pronouns. Being able to understand how pronouns are used is an important skill for reading and writing. Since a pronoun usually refers to something that has already been mentioned, to understand what a pronoun stands for , we should look at the earlier part of the sentence or the sentence that comes before. Ss can first find the sentence with the target pronoun and try analyzing the elements of the sentence and master the usage of these pronouns.
- those(products):cameras, beautiful clothes, watches
- those(countries):Japan, France, Switzerland
- it:so many products in the local shops were made in China

| | Teaching Reflection
