And besides some famous stars, some ordinary people also work very hard to tell others the harm of this disease.) 2. Brain storming Q1: While talking about AIDS, what other diseases can you think of? Individual work: Let students brainstorm the names of diseases, such as cold, headache, toothache, diarrhea, cut, coughing, scald, insomnia, heart attack, cancer, AIDS, etc. (With the development of science and hi-tech, many diseases can be cured. But for now, AIDS is still incurable, so it’s a deadly disease.) 3. How much do you know about AIDS? 1) Pair work-questions for discussion ? What’s the full name of AIDS? Can AIDS be transmitted? ? In what ways can it be transmitted? What kinds of people are likely to get AIDS? Do people with AIDS look healthy at first? Is it safe or dangerous to stay or to be friends with them? Why?

And throughout the whole class, teachers should try to use these expressions as many as possible to raise students’ awareness. 2) As has just been talked about, AIDS is not only a personal problem, but also a social one. Because when we talk about social problems, we mean crimes such as drug use, murder, theft or robbery and broken families. These social problems cause sadness, unhappiness, harm, fear and even wars in the world or in society. Besides, there are quite a few other social problems. Can you tell some? Can you use your own sentence to describe one of these social problems? (Possible answer: crime, health, homelessness, poverty, gambling, family violence, divorce, unemployment) 3) Information input Give students some information about how serious these problems are and ask them to take notes.

Or could we get rid of social problems in modern times? What can we do to deal with them? (Social problems are around us. They can’t disappear in modern society. But we can do something optimistic or positive to reduce the harm they cause. That’s why we youth are asked to get away from AIDS, drugs, etc. That’s why we youth should develop good habits. That’s why many people including famous stars are busy with telling others the harm. In this way, we can stay healthy both physically and mentally.) IV. Homework 1.

I. Pre-reading Life is not always smooth, but with submerged rocks here and there, now and then. When faced with unexpected diseases or disasters or even death, what attitude to choose is a question. Q: For example, if you found out that you had an incurable disease, how do you think your life would change? And how would you act towards the change? -- Born dying with AIDS, Xiaohua says, ?My life may have to be short, but there’s no reason why it can’t be beautiful.? -- Diagnosed with cancer, ?I? also have something to say to you. Now let’s see what ?I? will say to you. II. While-reading Questions: Q1: How did cancer change the writer’s life? Q2: Compare the writer’s situation with that of Xiaohua. In what way are their experiences similar or different? Q3: Do their experiences strike you? Q4: What have you learnt from them? (Get the students to put emphasis on some language points, especially how the writer expresses what he thinks. e.g. ? I remember having an empty feeling in my stomach and thinking that my life was going to end. ? There were days when I wished that I were dead so that I would not have to feel so sick.) III. Writing Life is like a moon, sometimes round, sometimes not. We have happy times and also sad moments. If we draw a timeline, we will find it is not always straight. Take myself for instance… Steps to follow Step one: think about your past days: what were some events that made you very happy? What made you very sad? Step two: draw a timeline of your life and mark the best times (the highs) and the worst times (the lows). Step three: talk about the happy and sad things to your partner, with reference to the timeline. Step four: choose one event, either happy or sad, which impresses you most. Try to remember all the details of it, especially how it made you feel, what it made you think and why it is important in your life. Prepare for writing it down.

Step I Greetings and Lead-in T: Good morning/afternoon, class. Ss: Good morning/afternoon, Miss/ Mr. X. T: Sit down, please. Being the members of the society, we all cares for/about what happens around us or even what happens at home and abroad. How can you do so? Ss: By reading newspapers and magazines, watching TV programmes, listening to the radio. T: Are there any other ways? Think it over. Ss: By a website. T: Yes. It’s also a way to learn about the world. What do you call these things which help us know about to the world? Ss:新闻媒体 T: In English, we call it news media. First, let's learn the new words in this period. Look at the screen. (Teacher first asks some students to read the words on the screen. Correct the Ss' mistakes in pronunciation. Then teacher gives brief explanations. At last, let the Ss read and remember them for a while.)
Step Ⅱ Warming up T: Well, now please open your books at Page 9. Warming up first. Look at each of the pictures and tell me which kind of news media it shows? Ss: The first picture shows a website; the second one shows radio; the third one shows TV programmes; the fourth one shows magazines; the fifth one shows newspapers. T: Quite right! Now, please work in groups of four and discuss the five questions below the pictures. A few minutes later, I’ll check your answers. OK? Ss: OK. T: You can begin now. (A few minutes later. ) T: Are you ready now? Ss: Yes. T: Which group would like to talk about the first question? Choose one member of your group to answer the question. S1: I think TV is the most reliable among the news media. TV consists of a series of lively consecutive pictures. For the people who want to know what is exactly happening, a picture responds better to offer the truth of a fact than the mere words upon a page. It can offer an unique function of seemingly on-the-spot feeling, which is not available to the other media. T: The second question? S2. I think TV programmes are easy for most people to understand. Radio, can only be heard and sometimes can’t be picked up clearly. Newspapers and magazines are only useful for people who can read. Websites have many different pages, but you should be careful to read some of the pages. who can read. Website have many different pages, but you should be careful to read some of the pages. T: The third question? S3 : I will check other sources. T: The fourth question? S4: Every morning, the newspaper chief editor and the journalists discuss the main events of the day. Reporters are then sent to cover the events. They usually do some interviews and then check the information. They must work very fast. Later in the day, everything is put together at the news desk. Then the editors read the stories and make any necessary changes and choose a good title for eachstory. At last, they print them quickly and deliver them. Making a magazine is more or less the same as making a newspaper. But the articles in a magazine are more like stories, which are writtenby all kinds of writers. Magazines are not published as quickly as newspapers. T: The last question? Ss: News broadcast, newspaper, magazine, radio programme, website, report, reporter, editor, interview, write articles…
Step Ⅲ Listening T: Next, let's come to the Listening. We are going to listen to two parts of conversations. The first part is an interview; the second part is a dialogue. Now, look at Exercise 1:
Listen carefully towhat is said and tick the information you hear in each part. If necessary, I'll play it twice. (Teacher begins to play the tape, and checks the answers after listening. Then ask the students to finish the rest of the tasks. ) T: OK. Now, please listen to each part once again and then work inpairs to talk about the questions in Exercises 2,3,4 and 5. Are youclear? Ss: Yes. (Teacher allows them enough time to talk about the questions. Thenask some students to say their answers.) Step IV Speaking T: Well, now it's time for us to be the editors of a newspaper. Here is a list of ten things that happened today. Look at the screen. (Teacher shows the screen and read through the list to the whole class.) 200 people died in an earthquake in Turkey. China beat Brazil 5-1 in football. France elected a new President. Three children from your city were killed. Someone robbed a bank in Shanghai. Food prices are going up. A house in your town burned down. Nobody was injured. 2 000 people in your city were happy today and moved into new buildings. A Chinese scientist has invented a new car engine that does not pollute the air. There is a rumor that a large company wants to build a factory in your town: (Bb :go up, burn down) T: Now, you've known the ten things, but you only need to report five of them. So, first decide which events you are going to put in your newspaper. Then give reasons for your choices and compare with your classmates. Work in groups of four or five. And the following expressions on the screen can help you with your dialogue. After a while, I'll ask some of you to act out your dialogue. (Teacher shows the screen. ) What do you think of'…? I would rather choose.… What's your opinion? I don't think we should choose… Why do you choose… Maybe it would be better to choose… Perhaps… is more important. Our readers want to know about…. (Teacher goes around the Ss and checks their work. If necessary, teacher may join in them. )
