Step 1 Revision T: Good morning/ afternoon, boys and girls! Let’s check the assignment for the last period. Check the answers to the Ex 4 on P15, use the word but to rewrite the sentences with although, and then let the students talk about the use of link words—but, however, while and although. Ss present their sentences. S1: There is poverty in this area but people are happier than in the city. S2: Life expectancy is still low but it has improved in the last ten years. Step 2 Lead-in Ss will have three minutes to talk about the differences between developing and developed countries. T: What are the symbols of the developed countries? S1: People there can enjoy better education. S2: The most important thing is to provide free medical treatment. For example, in Britain medical treatment is provided free on the National Health systems. T: Any more? S3: The next may be life expectancy and their income. T: Oh, What you said is reasonable. Now tell me the problems of developing countries. S4: I think poverty is a big problem, but if people can get better education, poverty and hunger can be reduced. T: Well, your words sound interesting. Please give me your reason. S4: OK, as everyone knows, knowledge is power. If people have much knowledge, they will be trying to live a better life, then poverty will disappear. T: Good idea. Come on! S5: I think the biggest problems are the development with environmental sustainability, such as population, pollution and sanitation. As for as I know, there are more than 1 billion people in developing countries who don’t drink safe water.

T: There are so many differences between developing and developed countries. In your opinion, what should the richest countries do? Ss: Give help. T: All right. Now the world’s population continues to grow. This creates an ever-greater need for food, water, housing, energy and jobs, so everyone must make better use of

the earth’s natural resources. To do this, developing countries should try not to the environment as they develop their economies. More developed countries need to work to reduce global poverty and lesson the differences in wealth between the richest and poorest nations. Step 3 Pre—Reading T: Now, let’s take up our new lesson. The Human Development Report. First, please predict what topics will be discussed in the reading by using the picture and the title. After a short discussion, Ss express their ideas. S1: It is about people’s family.

S2: About population. S3: Maybe something to do with poverty because of the world development. S4: It must be about education and health. S5: …

T: OK, you are great. Next, let’s read the passage and answer the five questions above to make sure that your prediction is correct. Ss are encouraged to do the work by scanning. The purpose of it is to understand some information in detail. It is not difficult to find the answers, but the most important thing is to speak them out. A few minutes later, the teacher asks some of them to talk about each question. T: Who’d like to talk about the first question? Li Hua, can you have a try?

S: In the year 2000, 147 world leaders agreed to work together to reduce poverty by 2015 or earlier. T: The second question. Liu Xin, please. S: The Human Development Index measures a country’s achievement in three ways: life expectancy (how long people usually live), education and income. T: OK, now the third one, Ma Li, please.

S: The first two Development Goals are to reduce poverty and hunger and to make sure that all children have education up to the age of 11. T: Then the fourth question. Volunteers?

S1: In the last ten years in China, 150 million people moved out of poverty. S2: More than 80% of children in developing countries go to primary school. S3: In some regions of the world, e.g. Eastern Europe, water is now mostly safe to drink. S4: Although we are making some progress, We need to make greater efforts.

T: You all did very well. Who can answer the last question? S: Developed countries need to give much more financial help. It is right that they should do so. T: Well done. Thank you for all your answers. (Ask some students to retell the five answers to get a general idea of this reading.) Step 4 While—Reading 1. Fast reading (After having a general idea of the passage, Ss are asked to read the passage as quickly as possible and find out the main idea of each paragraph. After a while, the teacher checks their understanding.) T: Now, who’d like to tell me the main idea of the first paragraph?

S1: Paragraph 1. Introduction how the Human Development Report came out. T: Yeah. Right. The second paragraph? S2:Paragraph 2. The Human Development Index measures a country’s achievement.

S3:Paragraph 3. The most five important goals of the report. S4:Paragrpah 4. Examples of successful development in 2003. Pare 5: Developed countries should give much more financial help. 2. Careful Reading for the details T: Quite right. We have known the main idea of each paragraph. Now read some paragraphs needed, then finish Exx ②

Step 5 Post—Reading Ss now are familiar with the passage, they should also be asked to pay attention to some useful sentences. T: Now, look through the text again and pick out the sentences with link words: while, although, but, however. S1: Norway is at the top of the list, while the US is at number 7. T: Good, another example? S2: The UK is in the thirteenth position, while China is in the middle of the list. T: Oh, you got it. Now please give more examples with however. S3: However, the challenges are still great. S4: However, in other regions of the world, e.g. Eastern Europe, water is now mostly safe to drink. T: OK, who can find examples with although? S5: Although more than 80% of children in developing countries go to primary school, about 115 million children are not being educated. S6: Although developed countries give some financial help, they need to give much more. T: Thanks for your exact examples.

(Then ask the students to finish the Exx ③and⑤

on Page 13. Ss can have a few minutes to do the work. Then ask them to exchange the ideas with their deskmates. If necessary, give some explanations.)
