Step1. Lead-in:

Present several pictures to students, among which one is a overweight couch potato, who is too heavy to move, the other is a skinny modal, who is so thin that people can see her skeleton clearly. Teaching activity: T: Good morning, everyone. Today we are going to learn a new lesson. At the very beginning, I would like all of you to look at this picture. Who can describe the picture? S: There is a very fat man. T: Yes. The man is extremely fat and heavy, right? There are a certain number of people who are overweight. Can you imagine how his life is? S1: It is really difficult for him to move around. S2: He may come across so many troubles because it is indeed so clumsy to walk, to squat down and to do other things. T: Right. So can you guess what causes his obesity? S: Maybe he eats too much. T: Fine. What kind of food possibly makes him such a huge size? S: Junk food, I guess. T: For example? S: Such as fried chicken, pizza, hamburgers, coca cola, and so on. T: Excellent. Do you think is it healthy to eat too much junk food every day? S: No. T: So I suggest you eat less and less junk food because junk food contains too much fat, and sugar, which accumulate calories in one’s body. In this sense, we would better keep far away with junk food. Now, let’s look at another picture. What do you feel when it occurs to you at the first sight? S: Horrible. T: I agree. The girl in the picture is a model. As we all know, models should keep diet all the time. If they eat less and less, they easily suffer from anorexia, which leads people can eat nothing in the end. Consequently, they are so thin that they are more like a mummy. If a people looks like this, do you think she is beautiful? S: Definitely not. T: Eating little is not a good eating habit. So you should eat to a certain amount. Now health, closely related with each person, is a common concern. From this class on, we will have a discussion about this topic. That is healthy eating. Step2: Reading: Come and Eat Here In this part, firstly we will scan the text to get the main plot of the story. Next, we will fill a chart together to compare the two restaurants. Finally, we will overview the text to deepen understand what we have learnt. Teaching activity: T: In order to know more about healthy eating, let’s begin to learn the reading part---- Come and Eat Here.

When you look at this title, what can you predict? Can you imagine what would happen in the text? S: Maybe it is about a restaurant or it is an advertisement of a restaurant.

T: Fine. The predication is reasonable. What on earth does the text talk about? We would better find the answer by appreciating the text. T: After scanning the passage, we can find there are five paragraphs in all. And we can divide these paragraphs into three parts. The first part is paragraph 1. The second part includes paragraph 2 and paragraph 3, and the last part includes paragraph 4 and paragraph 5. Now we will have a detailed reading. Part 1: Wang Peng felt very frustrated because it was empty in his restaurant. As before, the restaurant ought to be full of people and the food he prepared would all be sold out by lunchtime. Thinking of his various delicious foods, he would use one sentence to describe it that is “nothing could be better.” Since the food he cooked was perfect, what caused such an empty restaurant? Such a strange phenomenon made Wang Peng puzzled a lot. At that moment, Lao Li passed by, Wang Peng said hi to him but received no response. In this sense, Wang Peng thought something terrible might happen. Then he followed Lao Li to a new restaurant. Part2: Curiosity led Wang Peng inside as the sign reads slimming restaurant. When he saw the menu, he was amazed at the few choices of food and drink and especially at the higher price. Unbelievable! He went out and thought about his own menu. On the way back home, he questioned himself if his food could make people fat. In order to find out the answer, he went to the library to do some research. Part3: Wang Peng surprisedly found out the problems of two restaurants. As for his own, he offered too much fat to customers, although the food was energetic-giving. As for Yong Hui’s, it served less fat so people could get thin. But the food was quickly to make people tired. Finding out the secret, Wang Peng felt hopeful for his own restaurant. He was determined to win his customers back by offering healthy and energetic food with discount. Who would win in the competition? The text gives no answer. So it leaves us too much space to think.

Step4. Homework: 1. Predict what will happen about this story, and write a follow-up.

A. Optional activity: Do an interview of what people eat every day, and analyze whether they have a healthy eating or not and give some reasons. B.

Optional homework: Design a healthy menu.

Ⅷ.Reflection: Since it is the first class of this unit，the major job is to grab students’ interests in learning. Therefore I focus on meaningful learning by means of preparing some pictures. Most importantly, the main job of this lesson is the reading material. I am more like an authority in this part which lacks students’

enough involvement. I am afraid that I rely on the multimedia facility too much, which constraint students’

thinking, so next time I should control the use of multimedia to certain extent.
