Teaching procedures & ways教学过程与方式

Step I Revision Check the homework, asking them to read out their ideas for the class.

T: Let’s check the homework. I’d like some of you to read out their ideas. For the class. Volunteer! Possible versions: S1: Everyone needs friends. We can live without a brother, but not without a friend. I think friendship is more important that anything else in my life. So I’d like to spend most of my time with my friends. We think it’s cool to spend most of our time with friends. Arranging some recreational time with friends is necessary in a well-rounded life. As part of a large group of friends, or as one half of “just the two of us,” the time you spend with friends is an essential part of a satisfying life. We can enjoy ourselves in all kinds of ways, such as traveling, having sports, having dinner, gossiping, drinking coffee, going to the movies. I think the best way to spend time with friends is to go hiking and camping with them. Because when we’re camping we are not in any rush to go somewhere and there are fewer choices, just enjoying what we’re doing. Step II Warming up

Proposing the solution must be the main, which should be well explained. T: Exactly. The discussion of the solution itself, based on the analysis of the problem, is the core of a proposal.

I am sorry to hear about your problem and thank you for your trust. You’re feeling quite lonely and find it hard to make friends with your classmates, because you have some problems in communicating with people. You are asking how to make good friends with others. I’d like to give you some advice on it. First of all, I think you should make an effort to change the situation. Because friends and friendship are important to you. You can try your best to start talking to people about what you both like. You’d better find the chance to join in people’s discussion in order to understand and communicate with each other. You may show your interest in their talk. You should try to make friends with one or two classmates. If you want to develop a friendship with others, you should first have self-confidence. If you want others to treat you as friends, you should first treat them as friends. Being a good listener is also important. When listening to a friend, you can show that you are concentrated by looking into his or her eyes and asking questions. I hope my advice is helpful and I wish you make some good friends successfully as soon as possible. Best wishes,

Yours truly
