Get the main idea of the passage and retell it in one’s own words: The passage is about Ashrita Furman，

an American man，

who enjoys the challenge of breaking Guinness records in some very unusual sporting activities. It’s his perseverance and great determination that made him a famous sportsman. Step 2 Extensive reading Describe one’s favorite sport (1)

What features does it have? (3)

Why do you like it? Step 3 Presentation After a group discussion, present

the passage in front of the whole class.A possible version: My favorite Sports

Ashrita Furman’s spirit inspires me greatly. I am also a sports lover and take part in sports regularly. Of all the sports, I like playing badminton best.

Playing badminton is fun. With a shuttlecock，

you don’t need to have great skills to play it. Catching the shuttlecock and hitting it back hard is the key rule of playing badminton.

It simply requires a small number of participants and it is convenient to find badminton courts. The shuttlecock is small but flies at high speed and in diverse ways. Playing badminton is very entertaining，

in which the young can play fast to display their vigor while the old can play at ease to keep fit.

I like playing badminton. Playing badminton frequently not only keeps us healthy and helps improve the coordinating abilities of the body，

but also benefits our eyesight and trains our brains. In addition，

we can learn cooperation and make good friends with others. Most important of all，

sports such as badminton will teach us good qualities such as courage，

determination and perseverance. Step 4
