Lead-in The teacher plays a video《北京欢迎你》, Bejing welcomes the foreign friends, now let’s welcome all the teachers attending our class. I think it’s a great honour for our Chinese pelople to hold the 29th Beijng Olympic Games. Do you know how many Chinese athletes took part in the 29th

Olympics? And how many gold medals did we win? (639 athletes, 51 gold medals)

Are you proud of our athletes? Luckily, there’re four athletes in our class. (Show the picture of the four athletes, then show another picture – Miss yang is talking to the athletes). Miss Yang is their coach, they are talking about a New Training Schedule.

Step 2

Listening Do you want to know more about it? Before listening to their conversation, I’d like you to look through the New Training Schedule on page 33, to see if there are any known words that you can’t understand. Then learn the new words: massge; flexible; flexbility.

The students listen to it , and check the answer with their deskmates. And then check the answers together . Step 3

Designing a new daily routine As you know, Miss Yang is very busy, so it’s impossible for her to talk to all the athletes in our school. Can you guess what she does. She asks the - 1 -

sports council to put up some leaflets. Here are two of them. On page 35. Read them by themselves and try to answer the questions. 1. How many hours should an athlete sleep? 2. How many hours should an athlete train a day? 3. What meat is called red meat? ( pork, lamb, beef) 4. How many servings of fruit and vegetables should an athlete eat?

Do you think the athletes will be happy when they see the leaflets? (show a picture of a student—an athlete in the next class). After he sees the leaflet, he feels unhappy. Because his daily routine is not fit for his training. Please read his daily routine on page 35, and help him design a new daily routine according to his daily routine. (Work in groups of six) Then ask some students to show their new daily routine to the whole class. Then show my own design to the students: A new daily routine 7.00 a.m.

get up 7.30a.m.

breakfast:eggs,wholemealbread, fruit and water, or tea without caffeine 8.00 a.m.

School 12.00p.m. lunch:rice,vegetables,chicken,

water and fruit 3.30 p.m.

bed Step 4

Writing an advice letter One of my former students—Xiaobin asks me for some advice on his training, so he is also an athlete. And he is going to take part in a sports competition. Now please help me to give him some advice. Do you know how to give others advice. Let the Ss discuss and list some sentene patterns. When we give advice or make suggestions, we usually try to use less direct way of speaking in order to make the listeners more comfortable. So here I’ll give you some sentence patterns.

Patterns of giving advice: 1. I advise you to go there by bike instead of by bus. 2. I advise that you (should) go to bed a bit earlier, to avoid being tired. 3. Our teacher often gives us some advice on how to study English. 4. If I were you, I would buy that dress. - 2 -

5. My coach suggested that I (should) train six hours per day. Five questions to make suggestions: 1. Don’t you think it is a good idea to go out for a walk on such a fine day? 2. Why don’t you phone her right now and ask her to come this afternoon? 3. Shall we stop and have a rest? 4. What about renting a car? It would be better than taking the bus. 5. Will Thursday morning do? I happen to be in town then. Do you know anything about Xiaobin? Now I’ll give you some information about him.

Information about Xiaobin: Like sports;

do exercise once a week Sometimes eat fruit and vegetables;

like soft drinks: Coke and juice;

favorite food:Meat, especially pork and beef. For breakfast: eggs, toast with jam, milk; For lunch: rice, chicken, Coke; For supper: rice, beef, lemonade. Hobbies/ Activities: Internet café, computer games. Go to bed at 12p.m.
