Step I Presentation T: Imagine that you get into a difficulty on your journey in a jungle. For example, the tyre of your car is flat. And you can’t find anybody on your way. What can you do?

S1: I’ll call a garage to get help. S2: I’ll leave my car to find help on foot.

S3: I’ll stay there to wait for help.

T: Very good. Today, we’ll read a passage about the experience of the writer. Let’s find out how the writer does in the difficult situation. Step II Pre-reading T: First, look at the title of the passage “No Problem”. What kind of passage do you expect it to be? Ss: will give their guesses. Don’t tell them right or wrong. Let them look at some extracts from the passage on the slide. (Exercise 2 above the passage)

T: Now I’ll give you 5 minutes. Please work in pairs to join the sentences together to get a whole passage. You can add something if necessary. This task is to cultivate the imagination of the Ss.

Step III Skimming In this part, let the Ss read the passage quickly and try to get the main idea. Show the

question on the screen. Check the answer with the whole class. Explain why this

answer is right. T: This passage is mainly written to tell the story where the writer had the difficulty on their journey. What’s the difficulty?

S1: Their tyre was flat and they were trying to change the wheel, but it was stuck firm. T: Very good! And then came an old woman, who invited them to her home. What

happened later? S2: Her son came home and helped to contact a garage. At last, they got rid of the difficulty. T: Ok. So, we can tell which answer is right. Ss: a. Step IV Scanning Ask the Ss to read the passage again quickly and accurately and meanwhile guide the Ss to guess the meanings of the new words and to get the details. T: Now I’ll give you a couple of minutes to read the passage again quickly and silently. Try to find out the answers to the questions on the screen. (Exercise 4 on P68) Let the Ss read themselves in limited time. T: Ok, time is up. Let’s check the answers.

Check the answers individually. T: Well done! Now, work in pairs to complete the sentences in your own words. Show the sentences on the screen. (Exercise 5 on P68) Suggested answers: 1.

The region they were traveling through was remote because they drove ten hours along the road but couldn’t see anybody.

2.

The old woman was a local because she wore traditional clothes, lived in the jungle and led a farm life. 3.

The writer didn’t speak her language because he couldn’t speak local language.

4.

The man in the photo was probably her son or nephew because he looked much too young. 5.

The man suggested they wait by the car because the repairing workers would arrive twenty minutes later. Step V Explanation In this passage, the Ss should pay attention to some patterns and some colorful words. Let the Ss discuss in groups of four. T: First, look at the sentences on the screen. (Exercise 6 on P68) Talk about how you

might say them in a more neutral way and what is the effect of the colorful words.

It rained heavily. 3.

We had driven ten hours without seeing another person. 4.

She looked at it for a moment. 5.

The sun came out of the cloud suddenly. With the colorful words, the author described the story vividly and the readers felt as if they were in the scene themselves. T: Well done! After class, rewrite the passage as a short factual report or a newspaper article. Leave out any colorful words. From the passage, we can see that the old woman and her son are warm-hearted people. And all the nationalities should trust each other and get along well. Next, let the Ss read another passage very quickly to know another two ethnic minorities and then fill in a form. T: Next, please turn to page 69. There is another passage introducing Native Americans and Australian Aborigines. There is a form on the screen. Now read the passage quickly and silently to fill the form.
