10、on page 3. If time permits, ask them to finish exercises C1, C2 and D on page 4. 教学过程Step 1 Greetings and self-introductionThis is the first semester of the high school and most students are not familiar with each other, so self-introduction is necessary for them to get to know about each other. Enc
11、ourage the students to volunteer to go to the front of the classroom to make a self-introduction or describe part of their junior middle school life and make a plan for their high school life.

12、tions. Step 2 Lead inAsk the students to describe some parts of high school life in the UK based on what they learned in Welcome to the unit. If necessary, they can also talk about some of the differences between Chinese and British school life.Some possible answers: 1. Huge campus and low-rise buil
13、dings can often be seen in the UK. That is an outstanding sight when we travel in the UK, compared to so many high-rise buildings in China.2. What impressed me a lot are the lockers in the classrooms for students to put their stationery, books, exercise books and other belongings. I think it is real
14、ly convenient for the students. While in China, we usually have a heavy burden of school bags. I often wonder if the heavy bags will do harm to the development of our bodies.3. From my point of view, most foreign teachers are humorous and kind-hearted. It seems that they have a close relationship wi
15、th their students. And some of our teachers are too strict with us. Maybe not only the students, but also the teachers are under the pressure of the entrance examination.For the teacher, it is important to point out that the British school system is considered one of the best in the world. As is kno
16、wn to us all, education in the UK is compulsory for everyone between the ages of five and sixteen, and is provided by two kinds of schools: independent (fee-charging) schools and state-funded schools.(If the multimedia is available, this design is recommended. )Show part of the video about the schoo
17、l life in the UK or show several pictures of the school life in the UK, and then ask the students to describe some of the scenes in the video/some of the pictures about the school life in the UK.1. Im surprised that they only have about 20 students in their class while we have 54 students here. And
18、they have a lot of chances to express their opinions. Their presentations are beyond my imagination. I hope I can do that in my class.2. They are so many in-class activities in the their class. I think we should have more opportunities to work in pairs or in groups.3. It seems that their classes are
19、 loose, but in fact well organized. The teacher talks less, and the students do a lot. Step 3 ReadingSkimmingCome to the article from a school magazine, written by an exchange student Wei Hua, who once studied in the UK. She gives us a brief but vivid description of what school life in the UK is lik
20、e from her own experience. Ask the students to read the text quickly and answer the three questions in Part A.Check the answers.1. For one year.2. Mr. Heywood.3. A small table.After the students finish it, the teacher can raise this question:You are really quick in mind and action. By the way, how d
21、o you get the answers in such a short time?Possible answers:1. Firstly, these questions are very easy to answer. Secondly, there are some skills in reading these questions, that is, we should find out some key words in the questions. For example, in the first question, how long reminds me to focus o
22、n some numbers. In question 2, we should pay special attention to the name and class teacher, which will help us find the information in the text quickly.2. For the last one, Woodwork class leads me to paragraph 6 soon, so I find the answer to question 3 easily.The teacher should note that usually i
23、ts not necessary to read an article word by word, or sentence by sentence to get the general idea or some main information. While reading, we should use some reading strategies. In this unit, two reading strategies are introduced, which are basic reading skills and used by many people. Ask the stude
24、nts to read the reading strategy on page 3 and finish the form on the screen.Or we can use another way to help the students to learn how to skim a passage.In order to help the students to know how to skim a passage, the teacher can also get the following passage, which is also related to the topic o
25、f this unit, for the students to read. The students are supposed to get the main idea of this passage as quickly as possible. Reading material:Education system in the UKThe UK is made up of 4 different countriesEngland, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Education in the UK is compulsory for ever
26、yone between the ages of five and sixteen, and is provided by two kinds of schools: independent and state-funded schools.Education system in ScotlandThe education system in Scotland differs at school and under-graduate level to the other countries that follow a similar system. The main differences a
27、re as follows:Students can enter university at the age of 17 rather than 18, as university courses in Scotland are normally one year longer than in England.Between the ages of 16-18 years, students in Scotland often study a broader curriculum than in other parts of the UK and often do not specialize
28、 in the sciences, arts, and humanities.Education system in England, Wales and Northern IrelandChildren normally start school at the age of 5 and move to secondary school at the age of 11. Pre-school programs are also available to students at the age of 3 or 4. . . .After the students read this passa
