Step I Listening (P41) Talk about “dam” and the advantages and disadvantages of building a dam.

Show pictures of dam to students. T: What are these things called in English? S1: dam. T: Why do people build dams? Or in another word, what is the function of dam? S2: Dams are built to stop the water from flowing, especially in order to make a lake or produce electricity. T: Now discuss with your partner about the advantages and disadvantages of building a dam. I’ll give you 3 minutes. Now please begin!

About three minutes later T: OK, which pair would like to show your discussion? How about you two? S1: OK, just as you say, building a dam can provide electricity for its people and control a great river. This is its advantages, but the dam can also cause many problems, just as when our country built the Three Gorges Dam. Many villages had to leave their hometown, and many cultural relics faced being damaged. Our

government had to spend large amounts of money to settle the problem. T: Good idea! Anything else? S2: Maybe the dam can make difficulty to the living things in the river. T: You are right. Perhaps the scientists who designed the dam would think of the problem and made a good design. OK, now will have a listening about a dam in Egypt. When the dam was built, it faced the same problem more than three decades ago. You will hear the key words in 2. Listen and number them.

Play the tape for the students, and ask them to find out what happened when a dam was built in Egypt. Number the key words as they hear them.

Deal with Exercise 3 in the same way.

Finally play Part A and B as a whole and then let students answer the questions in 4.

Step II Listening Task (P44) This activity provides listening practice with a cultural relic in China, the Forbidden City.

First let students discuss the questions about Forbidden City in 1.

Some useful information about the Forbidden City: 

Lying at the center of Beijing, the Forbidden City, called Gu Gong, in Chinese, was the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Now known as the Palace Museum, it is to the north of Tiananmen Square.



It is the world's largest palace complex and covers 74 hectares.



Surrounded by a six meter deep moat and a ten meter high wall are 9,999 buildings.



The wall has a gate on each side. Opposite the Tiananmen Gate, to the north is the Gate of Devine Might (Shenwumen), which faces Jingshan Park. The distance between these two gates is 960 meters, while the distance between the gates in the east and west walls is 750 meters.



The Forbidden City is divided into two parts. The southern section or the Outer Court was where the emperor exercised his supreme power over the nation. The northern section, or the Inner Court was where he lived with his royal

family.



Until 1924 when the last emperor of China was driven from the Inner Court, fourteen emperors of the Ming dynasty and ten emperors of the Qing dynasty had reigned here.



Having been the imperial palace for some five centuries, it houses numerous rare treasures and curiosities. Listed by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 1987, the Palace Museum is now one of the most popular tourist attractions world wide. 

Construction of the palace complex began in 1407, the 5th year of the Yongle reign of the third emperor of the Ming dynasty. It was completed fourteen years later in 1420. It was said that a million workers including one hundred thousand artisans were driven into the long-term hard labor. 

Since yellow is the symbol of the royal family, it is the dominant color in the Forbidden City. Roofs are built with yellow glazed tiles; decorations in the palace are painted yellow; even the bricks on the ground are made yellow by a special process. However, there is one exception. Wenyuange, the royal library, has a black roof. The reason is that it was believed black represented water then and could extinguish fire. 

Nowadays, the Forbidden City, or the Palace Museum is open to tourists from home and abroad. Splendid painted decoration on these royal architectural wonders, the grand and deluxe halls, with their surprisingly magnificent treasures will certainly satisfy "modern civilians". Listen to the dialogue for the first time and summarize the main idea in one sentence. Listen to Part A again and fill in the chart with details. Then do the same with Part B. Step III Homework 1.

Collect some information about the cultural relics that are in danger. 2.

Write your opinions on how to protect the cultural relics.

Step I Homework checking T: Well, class, at the beginning of this class, I want to know whether you have collected some information of the cultural relics that are in danger? Ss: Yes. T: OK, tell me what you collected. S1: The Great Wall in China is in danger. Some of the walls have been destroyed by the wind, air and rain. Thus it is dangerous for people to climb parts of the Great Wall. And there is also some rubbish on the Great Wall, which destroyed the beauty of the Great Wall. S2: The pyramids in Egypt are also destroyed by the wind, air and rain. Some of them need to be repaired. S3: Some buildings of Angkor Wat are falling down. ... Step II Lead-in

T: OK, class, all of you did a very good job. Now watch videos on the big screen that are from OUTLOOK ENGLISH MAGZINE that are about the world cultural relics. Ss watch the videos to learn about some cultural relics that are in danger. T: Have you found that some of them are in danger?

Ss: Yes. T: Maybe one day, they will not exist. Then what should we do with them? Now let's go to the next part, Speaking Task. Step III Speaking Task

T: China has tens of thousands of cultural relics. Perhaps it is not possible or necessary to save all of them. For example, Beijing is famous for its hutongs or traditional houses and yards. Is there any cultural relic worth protecting in your hometown? What is it? Write it down and give a reason. S1: There are some old temples and towels in our hometown and in the temples there are some sculpture Buddha. All these statues are very solemn. It is called Chongshan temple. It is said the temples were built in Ming Dynasty. A Prince built it to honor his mother. Now many monks are living there, and many people go there. The government has made it a cultural relic, and I agree with it.

S2: In my hometown there are also many temples, and some of them are in ruins. T: What do you think you can do to protect it? S2: I think I can give a speech to the city leaders and the public. T: Good! Although not all of us know the cultural relics in our hometown, we know the importance of protecting them. Now, please look at Exercise 3: Here are some suggestions. Discuss them in pairs and add your own idea. More ideas: 1 Make a list to tell people the importance of protecting the cultural relics. 2 Try to persuade the government to develop eco-travel to protect the cultural relic and also develop local economy. Step III Writing Task T:

Now choose one cultural relic in your hometown that you think is worth saving.

You want to inform people that it is already in danger, so write a letter to your schoolmates to encourage them to join you and protect it. You can use the following model as a guide. A sample:

（date）

Dear Classmates，

Do you know our local Buddhist temple Chongshansi？It is built of clay bricks which are falling down. It needs to be repaired immediately. As the wheels of time move forward, modern generations can only get a glimpse (瞥) of their ancestors'(祖先的) life from the cultural relics of a people. Every cultural relic is just like a cord(绳子) which makes connections among blood ties as well as different regions（地区）. Cultural relics, like cultures themselves, vary (不同) from nation to nation. They are the embodiment of a nation’s history and culture, and serve as the evidence of its civilization. As Professor Zhou Xiaolu who’s from Beijing Normal University once commented, “Keeping the national cultural relics in its original(原来的) sites can create a favorable environment for the preservation(保存) and protection, and their value can be better reflected.”

But now the temple is in danger, and the government does give much attention to it. So we’d better do something to protect the beauty of the temple. We can write letters to inform the situation and prevent further damage, at the same time to encourage repairs. All of us are looking forward to the day when the temple reappear its beauty. It is not a long way to go.

Step IV Talking

Deal with TALKING on page 41. T: The cost of moving Abu Simbel was more than seventy million US dollars. That is a great deal of money. Do you think it was worth spending so much money to move a cultural relic such as Abu Simbel? Discuss with your partner and give your reasons. Sample opinions: I think so because



After the project is finished, it will receive 600,000 person-time tourists per year. Yearly income will reach 6.25 million USD, including ticket, food & drink, entertainment, souvenir, experiencing games.



The relic theme park will promote economic development of the local place. Taking land value increment as an example, it’s estimated that the land value will increase 10-15 times in five years. I don’t think so because 

There are too many cultural relics in our country to be protected. Thus, we'll have to spend a lot of money.



Maybe this will be a waste of money. After all, some cultural relics are not so valuable and useful. So we should spend the money that is used to protect some unimportant cultural relics on the important things. In my opinion, we should just protect the best ones.



After all, our country is still a developing country and bas not enough money to protect all the cultural relics. As long as we can keep the culture that the cultural relics stand for; that's enough.
