S3: Some buildings of Angkor Wat are falling down. Step II Lead-in

T: OK, class, all of you did a very good job. Now watch videos on the big screen that are from OUTLOOK ENGLISH MAGZINE that are about the world cultural relics.

Students watch the videos to find some cultural relics that are in danger.

T: Have you found that some of them are in danger?

Ss: Yes.

T: Maybe one day, they will not exist. Then what should we do with them? Now let's go to the next part, Speaking Task.

Step III Speaking Task (P46)

T: China

has tens of thousands of cultural relics. Perhaps it is not possible or necessary to save all of them For ex ample, Beijing is famous for its lanes or traditional houses and yard, Some people say that only the best ones should be saved

Others disagree, and say they make the capital a special place Now, let's have a discussion about this in two sides. Do you think China

should save all of its cultural relics?

-A: Yes, we should save all our cultural relics.

-B: No, we shouldn't save all our cultural relics. We should only save the best one.

T: Well, you did a good job. Next, practice again the sentences that can be used to show your opinions.

Step IV Writing

T: Write an article of 100-120 words about the whole discussion and express your opinion at the same time. No matter what your opinion is, just write it down.

Later, the teacher shows some articles of the students with a projector and corrects them with the whole class.

Suggested answers

Today, we have a discussion on "Should China save all of its cultural relics". Some students think that we should save all the cultural relics for the following reasons. All the cultural relics have their own history and represent parts of our culture. So they are very important and useful

to society. Although we have to spend a lot of money to protect them, it is worth protecting them. But some students think that we should just save the best cultural relics instead of saving all the cultural relics for the following reasons. There are too many cultural relics in our country to be protected. Thus, we'll have to spend a lot of money. Maybe this will be a waste of money. After all, some cultural relics are not so valuable and useful. So we should spend the money that is used to protect some unimportant cultural relics on the¡«important things. In my opinion, we should just protect the best ones. After all, our country is still a developing country and bas not enough money to protect all the cultural relics. As long as we can keep the culture that the cultural relics stand for; that's enough.

Step V Talking (P41)

T: Please talk with your partner about the latest clothes. Complete the dialogue, giving facts and opinions where asked.

First, the students check their answers each other. Later, the teacher gives the answers, using a slide projector.

Suggested answers

A: SINGER (name of a company) makes the best coasts (name of a kind of clothing) in China! It's a fact.

B: Really? How do you know that?

A: Because all my workmates (name of persons) wear them

B: But that doesn't make it a fact.

A: Why not?

B: Because 1 don't know this kind clothing and 1 never see anyone wear them

A: OK. So if it's not a fact, what is it?

B: It's an unbelievable fact.

Let the students practice the dialogue with their partners and then give a short performance for the class.
