Reading

The UN-bringing everyone closer together Analysis of the teaching material:

In my opinion, this section is designed to help students improve their reading and thinking aility through the completion of tasks. The passage is about a goodwill ambassdor’s experience for the UN. But not every student knows much about the UN. So I arrange for the students to collect information about the UN. In the class, I will give them some time to present. The text is not very difficult to understand, so I design different tasks to help the students understand the text and train the students’ thinking aillity. Besides, I think I can also use this passage to promote the students’ awareness of social responsibility.
