We had no chance to go sightseeing in other places of interest.S2: I went to Xiameng last year. I think the travel to Xiameng was busy. We visited many places, such as Wuyi Mountain, Putuo Temple, Ningbo and so on. Though we had a good time, in fact, most of the time was spent on trains. That was boring and tiring.

Now lets read a passage about a journey down the Mekong River. Please read the passage and get a main idea of the text. Lets learn more about the Mekong River. Then Id like to ask you some questions on the text.Show the questions on the screen. Give the Ss five minutes to read the passage and then check their answersQuestions:1. What was Wang Kun and Wang Weis idea of a good trip?2. Who planned the trip to the Mekong?3. Where is the source of the Mekong River and which sea does it enter?4. What can you see when you travel along the Mekong River?5. What difficulties did Wang Kun and Wang Wei find about their journey?6.

What was their idea of a good trip?S1: They have dreamed about taking a great bike trip.T: Who planned the trip to the Mekong?S2: Wang Wei.T: What about Question 3?S3 The source of the Mekong River is in Qinghai Province and it enters the South China Sea.T: How about Question 4?S4: We can see a glacier, deep valleys, waterfalls, hills and plains.T: What difficulties did Wang Kun and Wang Wei find about their journey?S5: We know that the travelers had to climb over a Tibetan mountain and pass through deep valleys.T: You are right. Have you ever thought of traveling by bike?Ss: Yes/no.T: What do you think about Wang Kun and Wang Wei?S6: I think they are energetic and determined. T: Quite right. Now Id like you to tell Wang Weis and Wang Kuns similar and different attitudes about the trip. You can have a discussion with your partners. And then fill in the chart. By the way, do you know the word “attitude”? An attitude is what a person thinks about something. Lets start.Two minutes is enough. Teacher checks the answers and writes them down on the blackboard while the students are telling their answers.Similar attitudes about the tripBoth think1. taking this trip is a dream that comes true.2. that they will enjoy the trip a lot.3. they should see a lot of the Mekong.4. that most of the Mekong will be found in Southeast Asia.Different attitudes about the tripWang Wei believes1. they must start in Qinghai where the river begins / see all of the Mekong2. that they dont need to prepare much.Wang Kun believes1. it is too cold and high to start in Qinghai.2. that using an atlas is very important.T: Do you agree with them?S: Yes. T: OK. Another question. Who do you think was right about the trip? Why?S: I think Wang Kun was right, because if it is too cold and too high, the trip will be hard. People will have some difficulty in breathing at a high altitude. Wherever we go we need an atlas so that we will not lose our way.Step 4 ExplanationDuring the procedure Teacher will ask Ss to read the text carefully and pay attention to the words in bold in the text and underline the sentences they dont understand. Then Teacher will do some explanations, deal with language problems in the text, and at the same time mention Ss to refer to Notes 5 to10 on P 81. Next Teacher plays the tape.T: Well, everyone. Lets read the text again. Please read carefully and focus our attention on the details and the sentences you dont understand. Underline the sentences you dont understand. Please go ahead.Five minutes later.T: Finished? Do you have any problems?S1: Yes. In the sentence “She insisted that we find the source of the river and begin our journey there.” the verb “insist” is used in the past definite tense, while “find” is in the original form of a verb. It seems that they dont agree with each other.S2: I dont understand the sentence “She gave me a determined look the kind that said she wouldnt change her mind.” Whats the meaning of “the kind”?T: O K. let me do some explanations and deal with the difficult language points.1. insist vt. to declare that a purpose can not be changed. In this case the clause is often used in the so-called subjunctive mood to express ones strong suggestion. The verb is often used in the form of “should + do” or “do”.e.g. I insisted that he should come with us. The teacher insisted that a meeting be held immediately.2. In the sentence “ the Kind “ means “ the kind of the face”3. dream about to see in a dreame.g. The soldier often dreamt about home.4. It was my sister who had the idea This is an emphatic drill. Its pattern drill goes like this: It is / was + the emphatic part + that/ who + clause.e.g. It is light that travels faster than sound. It was the headmaster who gave us a talk on how to learn a foreign language well.5. persuade vt. to cause sb. by reasoning (to do sth.)e.g. The doctor has persuaded him to give up smoking.6. cycle vi to ride a bike7. stubborn adj. difficult to deal with; not easily giving way to persuasione.g. The girl is so stubborn that nobody can persuade her to change her mind.8. properly adv in a suitable manner9. care about be interested or be concerned 10. It makes wide bends or meanders through low valleys to the plains where rice grows. In the sentence, make means become.11. once conj. even for one time, as soon ase.g. Once you understand this rule you will have no further difficulty.Once you show any fear the dog will attack you.12. give in to surrendere.g. Liu Hulan would rather die than give in.T: Well, anything else?Ss: No.T: Its time to do practice. Work in pairs. Imagine that you are Wang Kun and Wang Wei. Choose a paragraph from the passage and use the information to help you make up a dialogue. Two minutes later, Ill ask a pair of students to act out your dialogue.A sample:Wang Wei: You know, weve always wanted to do a long bike trip. Why dont we go on one after we graduate from college?Wang Kun: Thats a good idea. Where are we going?Wang Wei: Why not cycle along the entire Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends?Wang Kun: Well. We should plan it well.Wang Wei: Let me plan our schedule. I can organize the trip properly.T: Good. Sit down, please. Now its time to deal with Exercise 5 on page 19. Compare the following sentences with different stresses and explain the meaning. Follow the example.Two minutes later.T: Now, whod like to explain the first sentence? Volunteer!S1: I think it says: Its a surprise to learn that half the river is in China.T: Quite right. Sentence Two?S2: We were both surprised to learn that the Chinese part of the river forms a half of the river.T: Ok. The last sentence.S3: We were both surprised to learn that it is in china that half the river is.T: Good. We can see that different stresses express different meanings of the narrator.Step 5 Summing up and homeworkT: This class we have grasped the main idea of the text, the usage of some words and phrases. Weve also learned about traveling. That is: before traveling we should make good preparationsmaking a plan, decide the place to visit and get enough information about the place. With full preparations well have a good time during the trip. Here is your homework. Please go over the text after class, and complete the exercise on P 56 in workbook.

When she heard that the source of the Mekong River is in Qinghai Province, she wouldnt change her mind. She even felt excited when she knew that their journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters. Before the trip they found a large atlas in the library. From the atlas they knew clearly about the Mekong River.三 德育渗透 Life is just a series of trying to make up your mind. 生活是由一系列下决心的努力所构成的。 Hitch your wagon to a star. 树雄心，立大志。 Success belongs to the persevering. 胜利属于有毅力者。 No success in life merely happens. 人生中没有什么成功是纯粹偶然得来的。四 文章体裁及写作技巧This is a travel journal.
