This is the 6th period of this unit in which two gargets are set.One is to deal with
the speaking part and the second one is writing.This part of speaking refers to 2
items.One is Am.English and Br.English.The other one is the sentence patterns that express
orders and request.First，students will be advised to do reading in roles to find out the
Am.English and Br.English and then find out the sentence pattern and then reverse them
into Direct Speech or Indirect Speech.Writing is a difficult item for students.This part
mainly teaches students a skill called brainstorming.I’ll let students to do some
brainstorming exercise to train them.After they have mastered this skill，I’ll have students
write a complete passage.

Step 1 Greetings and revision
T：（Greet the whole class as usual）
Yesterday，we learnt some new words and phrases.Would you tell me your sentences
that you made up using these new words？
Step 2 Lead-in
Excellent.In this unit “English around the World”，we learnt some knowledge of
English.We’ve known that English is different even in some English-speaking countries.It’s
called world English.And we’ve learnt some sentence structures which express orders and
requests and the reversal of Indirect Speech and Direct Speech of these patterns.This
class，we’ll use these things in practice.
Step 3 Speaking
T：So now let’s see the speaking part on P15.Go through the instructions first（. after 1
minute）
So it is a dialogue between Americans and Britain.So you think that they will have
much difficulty in understanding each other？
S：No.Though there’re some differences between Am.English and Br.English，they can
1understand each other.
T：Yes.Let’s do reading in roles.Boys play as Amy and girls act as the lady.Pay
attention to pronunciation and intonation.
（students read it）
T：Excellent!Have you found the different words that they use which mean the
same？
S：Amy uses subway and blocks while the lady use underground and streets instead.
T：Well done!Then could you find out the requests and commands in direct speech in
this dialogue？
S：Request：Could you please tell me where the nearest subway is？
Command：Go round the corner on your left-hand side，straight on and cross 2 streets.
T：Could you change them into indirect speech？
S：Amy asked the lady to tell her where the nearest subway was.The lady told Amy
to go round the corner on her left-hand side，straight on and cross 2 streets.
Step 4 Writing
T：Now let’s get down to another target of this class writing.This is an item most
students are afraid of，because when they get a subject or topic，they don’t know what to
write about.Today we’ll learn to use a way，that is，brainstorming.First go through the
instructions and the example by yourselves.
T：Are you sure how to do brainstorming？Now let’s first practise it on an easy
topic—pollution.
S：
T：Good job.Now let’s turn to a more difficult topic “ How can learning English
help China in the future？First，let’s still do brainstorming.
S：
T：Well done!Now let’s use this skill to help ourselves write a passage.Please turn to
Page 53 on the workbook.Now you should write an article on the topic “My Experience
of Learning English”.First list the answers you think of to fill in the blanks.And then
choose some useful information to write the article according to the settled structure.
Step 5 Summary
This class we dealt with writing skills.We can do brainstorming to help ourselves
think of as many related items as possible on the topic.It is a very good way to write an
article.
Step 6 Homework

2Unit 2 English around the world
The Sixth Period （Writing）
●活动与探究
Some foreigners think that Putonghua and the Dongbei dialect are just the same.Write
a passage on the comparison of Putonghua and the Dongbei dialect to show their
difference to them using the way—brainstorming.
Sample composition：
People in different parts of China speak different dialects.Putonghua helps them
understand each other.Some dialects，especially those that are spoken in the south，are so
different from Putonghua that they sound like a foreign language to others who do not
speak them.The differences between Putonghua and other dialects，including the Dongbei
dialect，which is spoken in the northeast of China，are very small.
Written Chinese，including vocabulary and grammar，is almost the same，but there are
some words in the Dongbei dialect that are not used by people who speak Putonghua.For
example，Dongbei people often use “旮旯（gala）” to mean “角落（jiaoluo）” in
Putonghua，and they also like using “俺们（anmen）” to refer to “我们（women）”.
Listening to the Dongbei dialect，it is easy to hear small differences in intonation and
pronunciation.For example，“人（ren）” is often pronounced as “yin”.However，the
differences are so small that people who speak Putonghua and people who speak the
Dongbei dialect can usually understand each other without difficulty.
