years. No matter what age you grow to, the music is your soundtrack; it brings
familiarity and cheer and overwhelming comfort. That one band and its collection
of music is ALWAYS your FAVORITE!

Boy2:
Yeah, it’s
new. I really like it. I like clothes that are unusual.
Boy1:
Yeah, me
too. Say… is that a
new book over there?
Boy2:
Yes, it
is. It’s a book about volleyball. It tells about how to become a good
player.
Boy1:
Is it
good?
Boy2:
Yeah, it’s
great. I like writers who explain things well.
Boy1:
Me too.
Ummmm, Michael?
Boy2:
Yes?
Boy1:
Uhhh…
Where did you get that movie poster?
Boy2:
Oh, the
Monster Lizard poster? My brother got it for me. He works at a movie
theater.
Boy1:
It’s a
great poster.
Boy2:
Yeah, it
is. I love movies that are about monsters, don’t you?
Boy1:
I sure do.
Say… Michael… Do you think your brother could get a Monster Lizard poster for
me
Boy2: Probably. I’ll ask him.
Boy1: That would be great. |

He likes clothes that are
unusual. |
book |
He likes writers who explain things
well. |
movie |
He loves movies that are about
monsters. |
2c Doing groupwork
In groups you are to discuss your favorite things from activity

I like movies that that are sad. I love
“Sinking Ship”. |
Oh, I don’t. I like movies that have scary
monster. I really like “A Headless Man”. |
I like writers who explain things
well. |
Oh, I don’t. I like writers that describe
feelings well. |
3a Reading and circling
On page 48 are three reviews. Circle
the things the reviewers like, and underline what they don’t
like.
While you are reading them the second time,
darken
all the relative clauses and useful expressions.
Yellow River
Fishermen
This is Hong Tao’s
latest movie. I like Hong
Tao. He’s made
some great movies over
the years. Unfortunately, this is the worst movie. If you’re looking
for entertainment, stay
at home and watch
TV. Yellow River Fisherman is too long, and it’s really
boring. It does have
a few good features, though. I thought the fisherman’s wife was really
funny.
Amy Kim,
Photography
Be sure to see
this exhibition at the Lido Gallery. Amy
Kim is one of the best known Chinese photographers in
the world today, and some of her best
loved photos are on
display in
this exhibition. She really has
something for everyone. There are many great
photos of people and of the countryside. The few city photographs
are less successful. I see the same things every day and they don’t interest
me as much. But this is a
great show from a
world class photographer. Whatever you do, don’t miss
the exhibition.
Wild and
Windy
Over the years, we’ve seen
musical groups with pretty strange names come
and go. Few have stranger names than this
band. As the name suggests, the band has
lots of energy. And they play
the kind of music that
I love to hear. Every song is really loud and often you can’t understand
the words, but this is okay because the lyrics aren’t very good.
However, these are musicians who
make us happy— even on a
Monday morning!

3c Writing a review
What is the last book
you read? What is the last CD you listened to? What is the last movie you saw?
Write a review of either the book, the CD or the movie.
Lighthousekeeping By Jeannette Winterson
Harcourt
An orphan taken in by a
blind lighthouse keeper finds his stories provide keys to find the way out of
her own past's darkness. Lighthousekeeping is a moving, poetic story of journeys
into light and the power of storytelling, recommended for older teens who will
relish the lyrical language. |
Trashcan Joe: Wrong Side
of Town
I couldn't be more
excited to announce Trashcan Joe on CD Baby. I first heard these guys at a
birthday party in Taiyuan. Let me tell you, as soon as these guys start playing
on their instruments, everyone shuts up and dances along. There is an
unmistakable genius in this catchy mix of 1920's style jazz, folk and blues that
leaves all the others in the dust. |
Dark Water

Dark Water is a Japanese
ghost story turned into a American motion picture. Dark Water has plenty of
creepy moments, but few scares, and it becomes bogged down in setup. The payoff
is also a little disappointing in that it mines familiar territory, offering
little that's original or surprising. |

Subject: Hong Kong
From:
Lingling |
Dear pen
pal,
I’m having
a great time in Hong Kong, although
I have to be honest and say that
I prefer Shanghai. Still,
it’s a great place to visit and
I’m lucky to be here for my six-month English course. Some other students
are learning French. I might like to learn some too. What languages would you
like to learn?
There’s just
so much to see and do here. Last night I went to a Chinese music concert.
Most of my friends like loud music that
they can dance to. I prefer quiet, traditional music so
the concert suited me just fine. What kinds of music do you
like?
Before the concert we went
for Italian food. Do you like it? There’re lots of different kinds of
food here. I don’t know what to try next. What kinds of food do you
prefer?
My host
family is taking me over to an Indian film festival next weekend. I’m not
sure what to expect because
I’ve never seen an Indian film. Have you? Some people say they’re boring,
others say they’re great. What kinds of films do you prefer?
Yours,
Lingling |
This a reply
to Lingling.
Dear Ling
Ling,
I’m glad to
get your e-mail. I have never been to in Hong Kong, although it is part of
China. To be honest I prefer Beijing. Still, it’s a great place to visit. I am
lucky to receive your e-mail. Some other students are learning Japanese in my
school. I might like to learn some too. But right I am learning English that is
your native language.
There’s just
so much to see here in Beijing. Last night I went to a Western Movie Exhibition.
Most of my friends like American West movies that
tell about your frontier history. I prefer Indian movies that
has gentle music so the exhibition does not suit me well. What kinds of
movie do you like?
Before the
exhibition we went for French drinks. Do you like them? There’re lots of
different kinds of drinks here. I don’t know what to drink next. What kinds of
drink do you prefer?
My mother is
taking me over to New York next weekend. I’m not sure what to expect because
I’ve never been abroad. Give me some advice for going to your country for a
sightseeing trip. Some people say New York is boring, others say it is great.
What is your comment?
Yours,
Ma

How important is
keeping healthy to you? A group of young people got
together to discuss this question. Here’s part of their
discussion.
PETER: I’d like to
stay healthy, but
to be honest, I only eat food that
tastes
good. And
if
food tastes good, it’s usually bad for you, isn’t it? Cola
tastes better than water, for example.
KIM: Well, food
that
is
bad for you can taste good!But I prefer not to eat too
much food that
is
fried, like, er, French fries. Do you ear fast food,
Laura?
LAURA: Do I eat fast
food? Never!I love to eat
food that
is
healthy. I want to take care of my health, so
I eat mainly fruit and vegetables. Oh!And I stay away from
sugar, you do too, don’t you?
KIM: Hm, yes. I’d
stay away from cola and sweet desserts if
I were you. And
I think most people are in agreement that
fruit and vegetables are good for health. But,
um, I would say that
fast food itself isn’t always bad for you, but
too much of it is not good.
LAURA: Actually,
don’t you know that
it’s been found in laboratory testing that
some types of oil are really bad for us? So
I don’t eat anything that’s
been cooked in oil. Also,
did you know that
some foods might cause cancer? Like burnt barbecued meat. I’ve heard
eating burnt food like this can increase the risk of
cancer.
PETER:
Really!But I love to eat meat that’s
well cooked, even
if it is a little burnt. It’s delicious, and
meat isn’t really dangerous, is it?
LAURA: Oh!Yes, it
is!I never eat
meat. It’s not at all good for our health. If
I were you, I’d eat nuts instead.
KIM: Well, I agree
it’s good to eat lots of fruit and vegetables, but
I think it’s also fine to eat some meat or fish. People who
eat
a balanced diet should be healthier than
those who
only
eat biscuits and hamburgers, shouldn’t they? I prefer to only eat food
that
I
like, but
isn’t it important to eat food that’s
healthy, even
if you don’t like it? The main thing is to
have a good
balance. |
After you
read, jot down all the useful phrases into your
phrasebook.

Part 2: Teaching
Resources (第二部分:教学资源)
I.What is
music?
Music is the
art of making sound by human voice or special instruments like violin, oboe,
trumpet, drum and so on.
In music,
sounds are arranged in time to give a pleasing result. There are many different
kinds of music.
Music is written using
note symbols on a staff, a series of horizontal lines. The pitch of the note
depends on which line the note is on. The notes are separated into measures
using vertical lines on the staff.
II. What is healthy
eating?
Healthy
eating is the act of following a balanced nutritional diet. Because our ideas of
what counts as "healthy" change, according to scientific advances in the field
of nutrition, along with personal and cultural considerations, accepted
standards of healthy eating differ from person to person, and throughout
history.
Many
governments and other organisations provide nutritional advice and launch
schemes in order to promote healthy eating. Diets which lead to obesity (being
severely overweight), diabetes, and other medical conditions, are a severe drain
of resources for national health providers, and on businesses due to reduced
productivity of staff.
A recent
health campaign by the British government has attempted to impress the need to
eat lots of fruit and vegetables using the slogan "5 a day". Adverts have given
examples of what a portion of fruit or vegetables amounts to, and how 5 or more
portions can be incorporated into one's diet.
Governments also put
pressure on businesses to promote healthy food options, and regularly consider
measures, such as banning the advertising of fast food, or taxing foods which
are high in fat.
