Since her husband got ill, she seemed very down in the dumps.Step 1: identifying problemsThis part is designed to help develop your reading and listening skills. First read a letter and find the problem described in it according to what you have learnt in Skills building 1. Then plete the notes after listening to a student talk about his problems and suggest some good solutions.1. Read the letter in Part A on page 26 and underline the negative language used to describe the problem in the letter.Answers: I dont know what to do.

Go over Part B on page 27 to find out what you should do next. Then listen to the recording and finish the notes in this part. Check answers with the class.TapescriptMa Jie : When Im at school, Im often very tired. I have to stay up very late at night to finish my homework because I spend all afternoon with my basketball coach. I know that Im not doing my best at school. That makes me feel sad because I like to try my hardest at everything. When I play basketball, I sometimes make mistakes, and dont play well because Im thinking about my studies, and I feel worried that Im falling behind. I want to be good at my studies and be good at basketball-I want to do both things well. I feel confused and sad because I dont know how to do both. Lots of people play a sport and do well at school. I want to learn to balance both of these activities. My coach says that I have a special ability, and that it would be wrong not to use it. He says that very few people can play basketball as well as I can-I should be willing to give up other things in my life so that I can focus on playing. But my parents tell me that sport cannot take the place of a good education. They say that I could get injured; also, you cant be 100% sure that you will be able to play basketball like Yao Ming in the future. They believe that it is more important to study hard and prepare for a job in the business world.I agree with both of them. Im lucky to be so good at basketball. It would be silly not to try and bee the best I can be, but I also think a good education is one of the most important things there is. I know that even if I bee very good at basketball, there might be a day when Im too old or injured, and I will need a good education to help me find a good job.AnswersB1. sad 2. make mistakes 3. play well 4. studies 5. falling behind 6. studies 7. basketball 8. talent9. willing 10. focus 11. education 12. injured13.

I thought that maybe I could just try harder, and then I could do well at school and get better at basketball at the same time. But that idea didnt work because both things take a lot of time, and there are just not enough hours in one day to do my very best at both things.Then I thought I could focus on school, and just play basketball at the weekend. But my coach is right when he says that two days a week is not enough training if I want to bee very good.For a few weeks I studied less. I thought that maybe I could still get average marks, even if I did not spend much time studying. That was a huge mistake, because I failed two exams and my parents were very disappointed.Ive thought about quitting basketball too. Lots of people dont play a sport and they are happy, right? But not me. If I dont play basketball, Im not happy. What do you think I should do?AnswersC1. Both things take a lot of time.2. Two days a week is not enough training.3. I failed two exams and my parents were very disappointed.4. If I dont play, Im not happySkills building 2: breaking a big question into smaller onesIn this part, we will learn how to break a big question into smaller ones.1 Ill write a question on the blackboard. Do you know how to answer it?How can I improve my grades?It is difficult for us to simply answer the question with one or two sentences because it is too big.2 Go over the guidelines in this part. Then read the big question and smaller questions given in this part as an example.3. Work into groups of four to divide the question on the blackboard into a few smaller questions. Sample questions:What subjects do you find hard and need to improve on?What is your problem in these subjects?Is that because you have not spent enough time on them?What have you done to improve on these subjects? Did you use good study methods in these subjects? What are your short-term and long-term goals in these subjects? Have you set proper goals?I want all of you participate in the discussion. All possible answers are wele.Step 2: discussing solutionsThis part is designed to help use what youve learnt in Skills building 2 to practise asking questions and discussing solutions.1. Work in pairs to discuss Ma Jies problems. Try to divide the big question What do you think of Ma Jies problem? into smaller ones. Sample conversation - You know Ma Jie is my good friend. Recently he has been worried a lot. I want to help him solve his problem. What do you think I should do?-OK. Lets see what we can do to help him, but first lets make things less plicatedWed better divide the big question into some smaller ones. Tell me what his problem is.2. Write down the smaller questions in speech bubble AnswersSpeech bubble1Problem: What is his problem?Source of information: How did you find out about the problem?people involved: Who else is involved in the problem besides MaJie?attempts to solve problem: What has he done to try to solve the problem?results of attempts: What were the results of the solutions he had tried?things one wishes to happen: What does he wish to happen?3. Work in pairs to make up a dialogue with the help of speech bubble 2 and speech bubble 3. Then two or three pairs are required to present your dialogues to the whole class.Sample answersA: I really want to help Ma Jie, but what can I do to solve his problem?B: I think if you want to give decent advice, you should first listen to his problem. Make sure that you understand the situation clearly and also understand the person you want to help. Then you can give your suggestions.A: Do you think there is a solution?B: Certainly. Every problem has a solution. We should be positive. Tell him he should consider the problem carefully.A: He has already thought of some solutions, but it seems that they didnt work. He found it was hard to satisfy his parents, his teachers, his coach and himself at the same time. Is there a way to make everyone happy? What do you think? Is it more important to be happy himself, or to make others happy?B: Thats a really good question. Sometimes we could find a win-win solution to make everyone happy, but usually its very hard. Theres an English idiom that says You cant please everyone.” If youre happy, how can you try to make others happy?A: So, what do you think he should do?B: I think he shouldnt try to decide alone. Hed better tell his coach and parents how he feels.A: Do you think that will work? Why will that work?B: Yes. Because they all care about him. They can help him work out solutions.A: I agree. Parents and teachers are more experienced in helping us solve big problems.B: Thats what parents, teachers and coaches are for. All we want is that you feel happy.Skills building 3: giving adviceIn this part, you will read some guidelines of how to make advice clearer and more helpful to people who need it.Read the three points and put on the blackboard the following table to help the students understand the guidelines.GuidelinesWhat to doWhy 1 avoid judgingUse positive, helpful languagedo not say, Its wrong for you to .People want help but not judgement of their previous behaviour. 2 give examplesMention a similar situation where your advice works.People will know how to use your advice.Step 3: writing an articleIn this part, youll write an article about how Ma Jie solved his problem with the help of his parents, teachers and coach.1 Read the guidelines in this part to find out what to do.Ma Jies problemsthe possible solutions Ma Jie has thought of and the reasons why they didnt workthe advice you gave to Ma Jiethe advice his parents, teachers and coach gave him and why it works your opinion about the best way to solve problems that students have2.
