Step Ⅰ Revision

Check the students’ homework and ask the students to retell the text.

A sample retelling version:

My mother lived in the countryside and was upset about the snakes in the yard. She wanted me to help her get rid of them. How to catch these snakes without hurting them?

First I checked if there were products that might help, but there seemed to be only some powders. So I had to find out a new way. I began researching the habits of snakes. Then I decided on three possible ways and used the last one: to cool the

snakes and catch them.

I bought an ice-cream maker and took the bowl from the machine. I put some jelly on the outside and inside walls of the bowl. Then I put the bowl into the freezer and waited. At the same time, I prepared some ice-tubes.

In the following two days, I tried to catch them. But I failed.

Then I decided to use a net to catch the snakes after they became passive. This time, I made it. My friends and relations pressed me to send my invention to the patent office to get recognition. So I filled the form and filed my patent application with the patent office and waited for the result.

Ask the students to translate some sentences or spell some key words in the text. Show the following. Put the following sentences into Chinese.

1. The first thing I did was to see if there were any products that might help me, but there only seemed to be powders designed to kill snakes. 2. Between the outside and the inside walls of the bowl there is some jelly, which freezes hard when cooled. 3. Nor will you receive a patent until a search has been made to find out that your product really is different from everybody else’s.

Sample answers: 1. 我做的第一件事是看看是否有能帮我忙的产品，但是好像只有一些用来捕杀蛇的粉末。

2. 在碗内外侧有一些果子冻，当冷却时它们会冻得很结实。

3. 直到做了一次调查后发现你的产品确实与众不同，这时你才会获得专利。
