●Task Writing a website article to give advice
Skills building 1: identifying negative emotional language
In this part, we’ll learn what words, phrases or structures are used to express negative emotions. These words will help discuss the problems.
1. Read the guidelines to know what negative emotions are.
Example words: hopeless, unhappy, disappointed, sad, regretful and lonely.
2. Make some sentences using the structures given on page 26.
I felt like crying when I knew I would never see my grandma again.
Failing my Maths test again made me feel rather depressed. I want to have a talk with my Maths teacher.
He left school under a black cloud after causing a serious accident.
Since her husband got ill, she seemed very down in the dumps.
Step 1: identifying problems
This 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 complete 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.
2. 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.
3. Go over Part C, then listen to the recording and complete this part.
Skills building 2: breaking a big question into smaller ones
In this part, we will learn how to break a big question into smaller ones.
1 I’ll 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 welcome.
Step 2: discussing solutions
This part is designed to help use what you’ve learnt in Skills building 2 to practise asking questions and discussing solutions.
1. Work in pairs to discuss Ma Jie's problems. Try to divide the big question 'What do you think of Ma Jie's 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. Let's see what we can do to help him, but first let's make things less complicated
We'd better divide the big question into some smaller ones. Tell me what his problem is.
2. Write down the smaller questions in speech bubble
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.
Skills building 3: giving advice
In 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.
Step 3: writing an article
In this part, you’ll 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 Jie's problems
·the possible solutions Ma Jie has thought of and the reasons why they didn't work
·the advice you gave to Ma Jie
·the advice his parents, teachers and coach gave him and why it works
· your opinion about the best way to solve problems that students have
2. Work in groups of four to write the article. Each member of the group writes one part. After each of you has finished your part, your group should put the four parts together to form the article and present it to the whole class.
3. Homework: write a passage according the guidelines in Part B on page 115 in workbook.
