One Possible Version：

I’m very glad to receive your email about musical interests and habits．Recently we have done a survey about music，too．We’ve found out what their favorite music is，when and why they listen to music and how they listen to it．

According to the result of our survey，we have some similarity to what you’ve told me in your last email．Most of us like pop music very much，and we often listen to it on the way home or to school by MP3．On weekends，we often listen to music on CDs or watch MTV．Some of us prefer classical music because they have learned how to play the piano or are learning it，so they only enjoy the music at home or go to the live performances or some music bar with their parents on weekends．

’

Why do we listen to music? There are some differences．About 67％of my classmates listen to music in order to enjoy themselves，for we have so much schoolwork and we don’t have fun except listening to music．Few in my class would like to listen to music to wake them up．

In my opinion，music is a part of life，and it can help us to get relaxed or feel really peaceful after listening to a favourite song．

Period 6

Workbook，Cultural Corner，Task，Module File，

Teaching Goals：

1．To arouse Ss’ interest in learning about the Grammy Awards．

2．To develop Ss’ reading and speaking skills．

3．To develop Ss’ cultural awareness of learning English．

Teaching Procedures：

Step 1．Workbook Purpose：To deal with the rest of the exercises in the Workbook．

First，check Ss whether they have finished the homework．And then give

some instruction of the exercises．

Step 2．Cultural Comer Purpose：To get more information about the top award for music．

1．Pre-reading

Ask Ss if they know something about the Grammy Awards．Let them talk about it．

2．While-reading

(1)Let Ss go through the questions about the passage and answer them．

QI．What is the highest and most popular award in the field of movie industry?

Q2．What is the most popular award in the music industry?

Q3．When and where was the latest Grammy Awards held?

Q4．How often is it held? Suggested Answers：

A1．The Oscars．

A2．The Grammy Awards．

A3．It was held at Staples Center in Los Angeles on February 8．2006．

A4．It is held each year．

(2)Read the passage carefully and find out answers to the following questions．

Q1．How many categories and types of music are there in the awards? Name some．

Q2．What do the awards depend on?

Q3．Why is the award called a Grammy?

Q4．Do all musicians think Grammys ale important and take them seriously? Suggested Answers：

一

A 1．There are 1 05 categories in the awards and they cover 30 different types of music such as POP．rock，jazz，blues．rap，classical，etc．

A2．The awards depend on how ninny votes each artist receives from members of the Recording Academy．

A3．The award is called a Grammy because winners receive a statuette in the shape of a gramophone，an old fashioned hi-fi system．

A4．Not all musicians think Grammys arc important．Some think they are not as important as they used to be and therefore they don’t take them seriously．

3．Post-reading：

Ask Ss to answer the two questions on P55．

Suggested Answers：

(1)Grammys are the awards given for the most important achievements in the music world as the Oscars are given for the most important achievements in the film world．

(2)From the passage we know there is a separate set of awards for Latin music，Latin Grammys．If Chinese music is accepted in the Grammy Awards．the award will be more popular and appealing．These two categories include typical representatives of Chinese culture and they ale quite different from western

music．The Grammys would provide a good chance for the communication between Chinese traditional music and western music. Traditional Chinese music is still known by minority of westerners．If there were Grammys for traditional Chinese music，more and more people will get to know this special form of musical art．

Step 3．Task Purpose：To enable Ss to practise the role—playing on a TV or a radio programme．

Ask Ss to work in groups of five to role-play a TV or radio music programme．

For your reference：

(A is the presenter of a TV programme；B，C，D，E are experts on music) A：Good afternoon，everyone．I am very glad to introduce four expels on music to you．This is…They are experts at their different music world．Now today our discussion is about how to get more young people to go to the theater to listen to classical or traditional music．Who will be the first to speak out your opinion? B：I’m very glad to talk about it first．I have been studying where today’s or tomorrow’s music tendency is．As is known to us-all，classical music will help purify our mind and improve our understanding of the spirit of music．But the problem lies in the following：Firstly，classical music is usually hard for young people to understand and accept．Secondly，there is no classical music education in their curriculum．Thirdly，pop music，which is easy to sing．or is about their everyday’ life or so，draw their attention to such simple and easy music．It’s the same with the traditional music．I’m afraid the new generation will forget what classical or traditional music is．So the best way is to get music lessons on classical and traditional music into school classes，to hold the concerts about the famous pieces on campus and to introduce them to the young people now and then．

C：I quite agree with you．As a teacher of traditional music in the college，I’d like to appeal to the young people t0 go to the traditional music concerts．That’s our nation’s culture，which we should never forget．I admit that at present，most students enjoy listening to pop music which I think has nothing to do with their knowledge of music．In my opinion，it would also be a good idea to invite some famous musicians to campuses and let them give lectures and performances to students．

A：Mr. D, would you like to give lectures and performances to students? D：1 would love to because it’s my duty．Especially more and more students don’t know some traditional musical instruments，such as the pipa，the guzheng．However，1 have to say that more and more children have come to our training center to learn traditional Chinese instruments，which is a good tendency．Fake me as all example，

I benefit a lot from my early experience with traditional Chinese music. Classical music has influenced me a lot when 1 was young as well．It helps me better understand our culture and I am proud of our country．As one of the young generation of our country，I think it is necessary for them to learn something about classical Chinese music．

A：Mrs. E, what’s your opinion?

E：In fact，there have been many concerts aimed at young and school students．Many young people show no interest in classical music．It’s not their fault．I think our media don’t give them proper guidance．Most music TV and radio programmes broadcast pop，rap，rock music．At the same time，there are plenty of reports on pop singers and their concerts．How could you expect them to get interested in classical music? So I think media should do something to help the young get access to classical music and get interested in it．Don’t you agree，A? A：Thank you for your comment．1 will talk to my leader about this problem．Thank you all for your opinions．

That’s all for today’s topic．Good-bye! Step 4．Module File

Purpose：To enable Ss to make a conclusion of this module and to deepen what they have learned．

Ask Ss to look at Module File on P40 and try to recall what they have learnt in the module．Then tick the things they are sure that they know and put a question mark next to the points they are not sure of and a cross to what they don’t know．

Help Ss to share their ideas and deal with the difficult or confusing points．
