So in this period we shall have the students read a passage about opinions and evidences first. Then they listen to a tape about the missing Amber Room, taking notes at the same time. Third, students practice speaking based on the listening and making use of the expressions and idioms learned in their speaking. Finally they are to read and reply to a letter about picking and returning things which are not their own. Objectives

To help the students read, listen, speak and write about the missing Amber Room ■

To help students read and reply to a letter to the editor Procedures 1. Warming up by talking about “evidence and opinion”

Morning, class. We always say, “We must respect evidences and can’t wholly depend on one’s opinions”. But can you tell me:

A.

What does it mean when you say, “It is evidence”?

B.

What does it mean when you say, “It is an opinion”?

A.

An evidence must be real, objective and without any personal judgment. So it can be proved.

B. An option always expresses one’s own ideas. It is always subjunctive. So it has not been proved. 2. Reading to complete the chart What is evidence? What is a fact? What is an opinion? The useful facts given by an eyewitness is called evidence. A fact is anything that can be proved.

An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved. 3. Listening and filling the forms

Now, boys and girls, as we know, people have never stopped searching for the Amber Room. This time we’ll listen to what three people say they know about the missing Amber Room. Before we listen to them, I’ll present some related new words to you to help you understand them easily. Please look at the screen and read after me.

explode vt. 爆炸, Czch n. 捷克, mayor n. 市长, melt vt. 熔化, sub (sub marine) n. 潜水艇，水雷, survivor n. 幸存者, Titanic n. 泰坦尼克船

Now listen and fill in the charts on page 5 and page 6. Well done. Now share your forms with your partner and tell me in the three forms: What are facts? What are opinions? Li Ming, do you want a try? 4. Speaking Discuss in pairs which person gave the best evidence, using the information in the former section. The following expressions may help you.
