Tell Ss they are going to find out the ways that the writer used in this passage in order to make the presentation clear and convincing.

2. Present the ways separately

1) How to compare Invite Ss to read paragraph two and ask them to find out the sentence which shows RealCine

is better than other films.

Present the sentence “Unlike

a film, where a passive

audience watches and hears what is happening on a screen, RealCine puts you into the action and connects with your senses of sight, hearing, smell and touch in an active

way”on PPT.

Remind Ss to pay attention to the words highlighted, and encourage students to think of more words or phrases which are used to compare different information.

Give Ss some more exercises to practice.

2) How to give detailed information. Use the examples from the text to help Ss how to give examples. Have Ss look at paragraph 2 again. List the example “Imagine

that a VR user ‘goes’ sightseeing in the Himalayas. Not only will he or she

feel every step of climbing

Mount Qomolangma, but the user will also experience the cold, smells, sights and sounds of the surrounding environment; he or she will enjoy a feeling of happiness

and a sense of achievement

upon reaching the top.”

Remind Ss to pay attention to the bold words. And give them more exercises to practice.

2.Why do some people think that users will be disappointed by RealCine?(no more than 5 words) Step 5

Sharing

Ask them to

read their passages to other group members.

Group members decide whose passage is the best. When choosing the best passage, Ss should obey the following assessments:

1). Do they use the given expressions?( How many,? The more, the better.) 2). Do they compare the information?

3). Do they give detailed information? 4). Do you think their passage is appealing and convincing? 2. Pick out two to three members recommended by Ss to read their passage aloud in front of whole class.
