Speaking and Writing部分先是要求学生根据提供的七个问题就克隆的利弊进行讨论，一方面可以检测学生对本模块知识的运用情况，另一方面可以为接下来的写作做好准备，使学生能较流畅地表达自己的观点。

Cultural Corner部分介绍了一篇名叫Brave New World的文章，向学生展示了一个

未来的城市的样子，让学生在理解课文的同时展开讨论。

One Possible Version：

Recently in my class there is a heated debate about“To clone or not to clone”．The students for cloning say that cloning can help the wildlife in danger，and we can have more and more wildlife in the world，and it can help the old and the sick，for example，some cloned organs can be tranplanted in their bodies．

However，the students against it say that cloning can speed up the rate of growing old and death．What’s worse，cloning Can make our society confused．There would be two or more of you，two and more of your parents and SO on．

In my opinion，cloning is new technology，SO socientists should do their best to make full use of it to help human beings．
