Key points: 1. Everyday English for communication; 2. Words and useful expressions
Teaching procedures:
Step 1. Revision
(1) Check the homework exercises of the previous unit.
(2) Talk about music: How many kind of music do you know? Name some kind of musical instruments. What different types of music are there?
Step 2. Presentation
SB Page 49, Part 1. Talk about the picture and get s to tell what they think is happening. Then read the introductions.
Step 3. Listening
Play the tape of Speech Cassette Lesson 81, and tell the students to listen to the tape to answer the following questions (the italic parts are possible answers):
1.What are Mary and Rik talking about?
They are talking about a music party.
2.What music is Rik supposed to start with at the party?
Some fairly quiet and peaceful music.
3.What music will be played at the end of the party?
After supper, play some jazz or pop music.
4.What instruments does Rik play? He plays the guitar, piano and jazz violin.
5.Do you play any instruments? Do you find it hard?
I don't play any instruments, I think all of them are hard to learn and they need a lot of time to practise.
Step 4. Reading
Read the text and explain the language difficulties if necessary.
(1) Have you decided what music you'd like us to play at the party? 你决定让我们在晚会上演奏什么音乐?
at the party中的介词at，一般各种会议多用at，又如：
at the wedding 在婚礼上 at the conference 在大会上
at the opening ceremony 在开幕式上 at the meeting 在会上
at the fair 在集市上 at the 11th. Asian Games 在第11届亚运会上
at the sports meet 在运动会上 at/in the Olympic Games 在奥运会上
(2) Oh, at the end some songs that everyone's familiar with, then they can join in.噢，在结束时演奏一些大家都熟悉的歌曲，这样大家都能唱。
familair的主语如果是有生命的事物并且表示“与……熟悉”的意思，常接介词with,如果是无生命的事物做主语，并且表示“为……所熟悉”，常接介词to，如：He is very familiar with the names of plants inEnglish. 他很熟悉植物的英语名称。
Suzhou and Hangzhou are very familiar to many Chinese people.
苏州和杭州为大多数中国人所熟悉。
(3) Well, I think at the beginning we'd rather have some fairly quiet and peaceful music. 嗯，我觉得开始时我们宁愿要一些宁静平和的音乐。
注意fairly表示“十分”或“相当”，通常与褒义词连用，而与它相近的副词rather常与贬义词连用，如：
It is fairly cool today. 今天相当凉爽。
He was rather angry at my words. 听了我的话他非常生气。
当然，有时候这种区别并不重要，尤其在英国英语中，如：
We were fairly caught in the trap. 我们完全掉入了陷阱。
fairly作为副词“公正地”，是由形容词fair派生而来，
与just和justly相同，如：
Up till the present time, the blacks of the United States are not always treated fairly.
时至今日，美国的黑人并不总是受到公平的待遇。
(4) Otherwise we won't be able to hear ourselves talk. 否则我们听不见自己谈话。
① otherwise 既是连词，也是副词，意为“否则”、“用其它的方法”、“在不同的情况下”，如：He was not treated in time. Otherwise he would not have died.
他没有得到及时的治疗。否则他不会死。
Obviously you think otherwise. 显然你的想法不同。
The rent is high, but otherwise the house is quite satisfactory.
租金虽高，但在其它方面这房子还是让人满意的。
注意第一例中otherwise所接的是虚拟语气，otherwise 本身相当于一个从句If he had been treated in time。
② hear sb. do 意为“听到某人做了某事”或“听到某人经常做某事”，如：
I heard him step upstairs, enter the room and shut the door.
我听见他走上楼梯，走进房间，然后关上了门。
We often heard the girl recite poems when she was a little girl.
当她还是个小女孩的时候，我们经常听她背诵诗歌。
(5) Maybe some folk songs to start with? 或许可以民歌开始?
这是一个省略句，相当于Maybe we can have some folk songs to start with。
folk 除了用作“民间的”，还可以用作名词，与people是近义词，如：
The town folk know him as Mr. Dickey.
镇上的人们都知道他是迪基先生。
Do you like singing Chinese folk songs? 你喜欢唱中国民歌吗?
(6) You have to practise a lot. 你得好好练。
practise 既是及物动词，也是不及物动词，接宾语时如果使用动词，则应用动词的 –ing 形式，而不用动词不定式，如：
Practise speaking English every day, and soon you'll improve your spoken English.
每天练习讲英语，很快就可以提高口语水平。

Lead the students to enjoy some beautiful music and then ask them some warming-up questions about music.
Step 2. World music
(1) Lead-in
Music plays an important part in our life. Our world will be completely different without music. But have you noticed that people in different nations and areas have different music？ They have developed music typical to their own cultures and living conditions. Here we have some classmates with their reports on Music Around the World? I’m sure you will feel interested and learn a lot from it.
(2) Students’ reports
Five groups of students are to give their reports on different music from different nations.
(3) Evaluation
Thanks to these students. You lead us to a vast sea of music. We are able to explore many parts of world in your music.
Step 3. Presentation
Do you know what music was like at the very beginning? Could people learn new songs with this kind of books? (Showing a book full of musical notes to the Ss) Of course not. But how was music learned and taught in the ancient times?
Step 4. Reading Comprehension
(1) Scanning
Ask the students to go through the first part of the text and find out the answers to “How many important kinds of music are there?” and “How was music learned and taught in the ancient times? And why?”(There are mainly two kinds of music-written down or not. first music was not written down. The old folk music was passed down orally from one generation to another. Some old performers of music could even learn hundreds of songs by heart.)
(2) Reading
Get the students to read the Text again carefully and find out the main ideas for each paragraph:
two important kinds of music
folk music
early performers
music in the streets
(3) Retelling
Ask the students to form a short passage about music with the help of some keywords.
written down or not; earn a living;
passed down from … to …; learned from …; be about…
popular and respected; learn by heart; in praise of
performed to passers-by; coins
Step 5. Practice
(1) Listen to the tape of the whole text and do the fill-in exercise:
Fill in the missing words (the italic parts are possible answers):
There are two kinds of music in the world --- one is written down and the other is not . Folk music has been passed down from generation to another. These songs were about country life, the seasons, animals and plants, and about love and sadness in people’s lives.
Early music performers used to learn hundreds of songs by heart. They used to act and sing in praise of heroes on festivals. In this way, stories were passed on from one person to another .
African music plays an important part in people’s lives, especially for work and at festivals and wedding when people dance all night long .Indian music is not written down. But lots of modern music is also written .Caribbean music was developed by the slaves brought from Africa . West Indians make musical instruments out of large oil cans . Jazz was born in America around 1890 . It came from work song sung by black people and had its roots in Africa .

本单元的三个Practice全部是围绕 -ing 作定语这一问题的。动词的-ing形式作定语，主要注意三个方面：

The meeting being held now is about the opening ceremony.

不可说：
（x）This is the train having arrived.

the house smoking heavily 正在冒浓烟的房屋
③ 主动与被动
the boy beating the drums 正在打鼓的男孩
