Men are allowed to take part both in ancient and modern Olympics. Some events are the same, such as running, jumping, shooting and thowing.The Differences There were not winter Olympics in the past. Now competitors are from all over the world. But in the ancient time, only the people in Greece could take part. Only men were allowed to take part in the past, now woman are also allowed. In the past, winners got the olive wreath as the prize. Now competitors compete for medals. The events and athletes in modern time are more than those in the past. There is a special village for the competitors to live in, a stadium for competitions, a gymnasium for these who watch the games now. But there were not in the past.)5.

Closing down by discussingYou know our government has tried its best to compete for hosting the 29th Olympic Games. It has cost a lot of money. Do you think it is worthwhile? Why?For reference:It is worthwhile to host the Olympic Games. To host Olympic Games can make our country known to the whole world. To host Olympic Games can make our culture and people understood by the other peoples. To host Olympic Games can stimulate the developing of our economy.Closing by imagining Imagine what we will do and what we can do for the 29th Olympic Games now.For reference: Maybe we can serve as volunteers to help the foreign visitors and athletes from all over the world. So at present we should study hard. Especially we should try our best to learn English well.Closing down by narratingWe can see the text is written in a conversational style. And there are two speakers. One is Pausanias, a Greek writer 2000 years ago, the other is Li Li, a Chinese girl. Now lets change it into a narrative style. In other words, lets describe the ancient and modern Olympic Games in our own words. Who would like to have a try?For reference: The ancient Olympic Games began in Greece and were held from 776 B.C. to A.D.393. It was held every four years. At that time, there were not so many sports as today. And women were not allowed to take part in the games. There were not Winter Olympics at that time. Winners got the olive wreath as the prize.

The motto is swifter, higher and stronger. Closing down by summarizingAs we have finished the passage well sum up what we have learned. First lets see the writing skills. It is written in a conversational style. Its in a very interesting way. It adopts a dialogue between Pausanias who lived 2000 years ago and a Chinese gird in modern world. Through their dialogue, the differences and similarities between the ancient and modern Olympic Games are made known to the readers. Just because it is in a conversational style, there are quite a few oral spoken English and elliptical phrases.Through the comparison between the ancient and modern Olympic Games, we have learned the differences and the similarities between them. Now we can have a deep understanding of the Games. From the passage, we can have a deep understanding of the Games. From the passage, we can also get to know that the Olympic Games are developing and improving. Its our duty to make the Olympic Games better and healthier. We know that one of the slogans for 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is Green Olympic Games. It shows that people are paying more and more attention to our environment.Period 2: Learning about LanguageTeachin Aims： To learn about future passive voiceTo discover useful words and expressionsTo learn the methods of words formationProceduresI. Warming up Warming up by dictatingThere are several important sentences in this unit. Lets dictate them. If you cant, learn them by heart after class. When and where will the next Olympic Games be held? I live in what you call “Ancient Greece” and / used to write about the Olympic Games more than 2000 years ago. All countries can take part if they reach the standard to be admitted to the games. The next Olympic Games will be held in my hometown. It is just as much a competition among countries to host the Olympics as to win an Olympic medal.Warming up by discovering useful words and expressionsTurn to page 12 and do exercises 1, 2 and 3 first. Check your answers against your classmates.II. Learning about Present Future Passive VoiceTurn to page 13 and do exercise 1. And tell the class the formation of present future passive voice.For reference: Well done, class. We can follow the following formlation to turn the future tenses into future passive voice; be going to be done, be about to be done, be to be done, will / shall be done, would / should be done.III. Closing down by summarizing1.Present future passive voice (take “ask” for example)AffirmativeNegativeInterrogativeI You He/she/it will be askedWe will (shall)You/They willI You He/she/it will not be askedWe will (shall) notYou / They will notWill (shall) IWill youWill he/she/it be askedWill (shall) weWill you / they2.The passive Voice of phrasal verbGenerally speaking, only transitive verbs can form the passive voice, for only transitive verbs can be followed by objects. But many intransitive verbs together with some prepositions and adverbs can be used as transitive verbs. So they can also be followed by the objects. Therefore they can also be used in passive voice.But note that all the phrasal verbs are used as a whole. When using them in passive voice, we cannot drop out the prepositions and adverbs. For examples:At last they put out the fire. At last the fire was put out.They will put up a notice on the wall. A notice will be put up on the wall.Have you sent for a doctor? Has the doctor been sent for?I have never heard of such a thing before. Such a thing has never been heard of before.We must take good care of the children here. The children must be taken good care of here.His classmates laughed at him for the foolish mistake. He was laughed at for the foolish mistake by his classmates.Period 3: using languageTeaching Aims:To read about the ancient Olympic GamesTo listen and talk about hobbiesTo write about hobbiesProcedures1. Warming up Warming up by introducingHi! Class. You know Greece is the world-known country with an ancient civilization. It has a long history with so much marvelous culture. The Greeks had wonderful stories about the Gods and Goddnesses who were part of their religion. They believed that these god or goddesses would help humans if they felt sorry for them or if the humans were good people. However, the Gods did not always help. They behaved like people who were unpredictable and capricious. To try to get the support of the Gods people had to pray to them and offer them present. In this story the Goddess Hera, the wife of the chief God, Zeus was sorry for Hippomenes and agreed to help him.Warming up by sharingNow, boys and girls. Is there anybody who can tell us some Greek mythology. You know they are so famous in human history.
