Step II ListeningStudents are asked to read the sentences and then listen to the tape only once to choose the right sentences telling the main idea of the dialogue they hear on the tape.T: Good, our homework check is over. Today lets go on with the trip down the Mekong River with Wang Wei. Please open your books at Page 23. Before listening to the tape, please read the sentences fast and as usual try to predict what the listening is about. Then tick the right sentence. Lets start.Students can check their answers with their partners.T: Now, we can see a passage in Ex 3. Please look through the passage and find out the listening points.

Notes-making is helpful for you to remember the important points.After listening twice, check the answers and explain some difficult listening points if necessary.T: What else would you expect Wang Kun and the girl to talk about? Get into pairs and continue the dialogue between them. Use the expressions in the box of Ex 4 to end your conversation.Step III ExplanationsT: Do you have any problem? Ss: No. T: OK. Id like to introduce a sentence to you. “The lakes shone like glass in the moonlight.” This is a common literary device, the simile. A simile is a comparison between two things using “like or “as”. In the sentence the lakes are compared to glass. The reader can imagine a calm, silver-colored lake that resembles glass in a mirror. It is a vivid image using the sense of sight. For example, coal is like black gold.Step IV Asking more questionsT: Now, lets listen to the tape for the third time.

Ill play the tape twice.Check the answers together.T: Now, in groups make a list of adjectives to describe the countryside in Laos.Minutes later ask students to tell out their answers.Step 3 SpeakingT: Great. Imagine Wang Wei and Wang Kun have a talk the next morning before they leave their camp. Can you make up a short dialogue between them with your partner?Two minutes later, ask two pairs of Ss to act out.S7: Oh, up so early?S8: Early? Its nearly 9 oclock!S7: Oops. (Looks at his watch). I guess youre right.S8: Why were you so tired?S7: Well, I stayed up late last night to watch the stars.S8: Thats nice.

That must be pretty.S10: Yes, they were. Look at the sun and the clouds.S9: How nice!T: Wonderful! Now lets listen to the tape and do a listening practice. Mark the rising and falling tone of each sense group and sentence. Then practice reading aloud.Let the Ss do the practice for a few minutes.Step 4 Listening and ExplanationListen to the tape and do Ex 3, then do the explanation.T: Now listen to the tape and please finish Ex3 on page 22.Minutes later,T: O K. we have read the passage and understood it. Does anyone have any problem?S11: Would you please explain the sentence Our legs felt so heavy and cold ?T: It means we were tired and felt very cold.S12: Whats the meaning of We can hardly wait to see them?T: They are eager to see their cousins.T: No other problems? Well, have you noticed that Wang Kun and Wang Wei take many things during their travel? You see they change their clothes in different weather. Now boys and girls, lets turn to a relaxing topic. If you are helping the cyclists to prepare for their trip down the Mekong, what do you think you need to choose to take? Look at the talking part on P 55. You are asked to circle five that you think are the most useful and then compare your list with your partner. And then tell the reasons. Here are some more items on the blackboard: backpack, cash, first aid kit, boots, suitcases, passports and CD card.Five minutes later, ask two pairs of Ss to act out their dialogues.Sample dialogue:Sa: Well, Im not sure about some of these things but I think a can/tin opener is not very useful.Sb: Why not?Sa: Just think: cans / tins are heavy to carry on a bike. So no cans means no can / tin opener.Sb: Yes, youre right. And Im not sure about the need for an umbrella either.Sa: But certainly it will rain on their trip. So it is useful.Sb:I disagree. How can you hold an umbrella and ride a bike?Sa: Oh yeah, I see what you mean. So they should have raincoats.Sb: Yes, and raincoats are not heavy.Sa: How about the radio? I mean, can we really use it?Sb: Maybe in China they can get the weather report on the radio.Sa: Yes, sure, but most of the trip is not in China. They dont know the languages.Sb: Right. OK. So we agree that a can / tin opener, umbrella and a radio are useless.Another sample:Sc: I think a tent and a blanket are the most useful.Sd: I agree, they need them to spend night. And I am sure of the need of a compass.Sc: I dont think so. As long as they travel down the river, theyll never lose their way.Sd: Yes, How about a water bottle? Sc: In my opinion, its the most useful. They need water all the way.Sd: Right. I am sure they need a map.Sc: Yes. If they have a map, they will know where they are . Sd: Now, a tent, a blanket and a map are the most useful.
