Let’s listen to some music and let’s see if you can guess which music matches which pictures. ‎ Ss: ...‎ T: Good. I’m sure you are interested in music and know a lot about some songs and famous singers. Now let’s go on with the other three questions. I’d like you to have a discussion. Then I’d like you to report you work.‎ Allow them enough time for the discussion.‎ ‎2. Answer the questions T: For the second question, are you ready for your answers?‎ Ss: Yes.‎ S1: I like Chinese music. Because I think Chinese music are easy to understand and it is in agreement with our culture. I like modern music. It often reflects the modern life of modern people.‎ S2: I like Western music. Because I think their music is lively, and musicians’ voices are beautiful and pleasant. I like classical music, and they are often serious and make people inspired. I think most people like classical music, which can last long, while modern music is mainly to young people’s taste, and it may not last long.‎ T: Good. Let’s go on with next question—How does music make you feel? ‎ S3: I think music can make me happy or sad. Listening to the music, I recall some memories or dream of beautiful life and often it makes us think a lot.‎ T: Good. I have the same idea as you. What about next question? Any volunteer?‎ S4: I like to listen to music, because I often feel relaxed when listening to the music. Also music tells about real life, stories, and sounds like the way people really talk. So I like music very much.‎ Step Ⅲ Pre-reading ‎ Get the students to discuss the questions with their partners and then ask them to report their work. Encourage them to express their opinions freely.‎ T: Now please look at the slide show. And discuss these questions with your partners. Then I’ll ask some students to report your work. Are you clear?‎ Ss: Yes.‎ ‎1. Have you heard about any of the famous bands in the world? Please list them if you have.‎ ‎2. Which one do you like best? Why?‎ ‎3. Do you know anything about “The Monkees”?‎ After the discussion.‎ T: Now answer the first question. Who’d like to try?‎ S1: Let me try.

I think you must be interested in music. Now let’s come to the second question-Which band do you like best? Why?‎ S1: I like “Supergrass” best. The musicians in the band always seem very young. It appears that they are very lazy. Also their performances often keep people laughing all the time.‎ S2: I like “Reggae” best, for I like their performances that are full of excitement. They mainly play jazz or crazy music.‎ S3: I like “The Beatles” best. I like their style of performances. Listening to their performances, you may feel relaxed, amused, and after their performances, you can think a lot about life.‎ T: Very good. Let’s come to the last question. Who knows anything about "The Monkees"?‎ S4: It is a band that was very popular in the 1960s in America. Now it is still popular in the world today. This band first sang one of my favourite songs—“Bubblegum”.‎ S5: “The Monkees” were a 4-person band in the 1960s as well as a TV show of the same name and it modeled on “The Beatles”. The band used techniques rarely seen on TV at that time.‎ T: Good, let’s come to the reading-The Band That Wasn’t and find more about them.‎ Step Ⅳ Reading First reading: scanning Get the Ss to comprehend the passage quickly and accurately and meanwhile help the Ss to form a good habit of reading. Teachers give the Ss a couple of minutes to look through the whole passage. Tell the Ss to read the text silently and then ask some detail questions about the text on　the slide show with their partners. Teachers encourage the Ss to express their ideas.‎ T: Now we are going to learn a passage about some bands. Read the passage quickly and find out the answers to the two questions here. ‎ Show the questions on the screen.‎ ‎1. What are the benefits if students form a band to play in the street?‎ ‎2. When did “The Monkees” break up and when did it reunite?‎ ‎3. Why was “The Monkees” successful in their work? ‎ Allow the students several minutes to read the passage.‎ T: Since you have finished reading, let’s answer the questions. Any volunteer?‎ S1: The first question. They can earn some extra money and this can also give them a chance to realize their dream of being famous.‎ T: Quite right. What about the second question?‎ S2: “The Monkees” broke up in about 1970 and it reunited in the mid-1980.‎ T: Good! How about the third question?‎ S3: Because they were serious about their work and they also worked very hard.‎ T: Quit right, you have done a good job.‎ Second reading: Reading aloud In this part, Ss will read the text again and try to understand the sentences and the main idea of each paragraph. And then finish the exercises in Comprehending. First let them read the passage carefully, do the exercises on their own, discuss the questions in pairs and then check the answers together.‎ T: Read aloud and let’s do the comprehending exercises after you having read the passage.‎ After the Ss have finished reading.‎ ‎1‎ T: Have you found out their best choices for Exercise 1?‎ Ss: Yes.‎ T: OK! Let’s check the answers. Who’d like to try?‎ S1: I think they are lively, funny and attractive, for they modeled on the attractive performances of "The Beatles". They played music and played jokes on each other as well. Their performances must be very interesting and attractive.‎ S2: I think they are brave, for at the beginning they did not sing or write their own songs. Though they met with difficulties, they succeeded after all.‎ S3: I think that they are popular, and famous. Because they produced many records, some of which are still popular today.‎ T: So we can say they are popular, lively, funny, attractive, brave, and famous.‎ Get the students to do this exercise by themselves, and then ask them to check their answers with the whole class.‎ T: Let’s do next exercise. Discuss the two questions and I’ll ask some students to report your work.‎ After several minutes T: Question 1. Who’d like to try?‎ S1: Let me try. Yes. I think it was right for them to call “The Monkees” a band. Though they didn’t sing or write their songs, they really get people to appreciate music. It’s such a creative idea that many people become their fans. It was a band formed in an unusual way.‎ S2: No, I don’t think it was a band. They didn’t write or sing their own songs. How can we call it a band?‎ S3: No. I don’t think so, because singing and writing its own songs is the basis of a band.‎ T: I have the same idea as you. Let’s go on with next question. Any volunteer?‎ S4: Yes. I think it is the jokes that really attract more fans.‎ S5: No. The purpose of forming a band is getting people to enjoy the spirit of music. It’s more important than playing jokes just to make people laugh.‎ S6: No, I think the content of music is more important than the jokes. The content is the soul of the music.‎ Get the students to do it by themselves, and then discuss the answers in groups of 4. At last check the answers with the whole class.‎ T: Now it’s time to deal with Exercise 4. Go over the passage and look for the main idea of each paragraph.

Who’d like to try?‎ S1: I like country music. So I’d like to say something about country music. Country music comes from two kinds of music. One is traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the West.‎ The singers usually played the guitar, and in the 1920s the singers started using electric guitars. At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World WarⅡ, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in factories. They took their music with them, so it slowly became popular all over the United States. Today country music is popular everywhere, because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events-love, sadness, good times and bad times. It tells real life stories. As life becomes more complicated, it is good to hear music about ordinary people.‎ S2: My favourite singer is Zhou Huajian, a well-known pop singer who was born in Hong Kong. As a high school student, he took interest in music and once took part in a singing competition held by local radio station and won the first prize. At the age of 19, he went to Taiwan Province and studied there. The next year, he went to sing in a restaurant, where he sang for four years. One day, when he was singing in a restaurant, the manager of a record company was greatly impressed by his performance. So he was invited to join the company. He has been famous since then.‎ Ask 2 or 3 Ss to report their homework.‎ Step Ⅱ Learning about language Discovering useful words and expressions Find the words and expressions with the following meaning according to the reading passage. Get the students to do this by themselves, and refer to the dictionaries if necessary. At last check the answers with the whole class.‎ T: First let’s turn to page35 and do the exercises in Learning about Language, I’d like you to find the words and expressions with the following meaning. Do this exercise by yourselves and check the answers together at last.‎ In this part, get the students to do this exercise individually. After that, ask them to discuss their answers in pairs and then with the whole class.‎ T: You all have done a good job.‎ In this part, get the students to work in pairs and talk about their dreams and imagine what they expect to happen. Then ask them to report their work.‎ T: Everyone has his dreams. What are your dreams? What do you expect to happen? I’d like you to work in pairs and have a discussion. Finally report your work to me.‎ After several minutes T: Are you ready for your report work?‎ Ss: Yes.‎ S1: I dream of being a famous musician. But to be honest with you, my voice is not pleasant to hear.‎ S2: I dream of being a millionaire. But to be honest with you, I have to work hard first.‎ S3: I dream of being a doctor. But to be honest with you, I’m not good at biology.‎ S4: I dream of being an engineer. But to be honest with you, I’m weak in science. ‎ S5: I dream of being a champion and win a gold medal in the Olympic Games. But to be honest with you, I’m not good at P.E.‎ Discovering useful structures T: In the text we’ve learned two useful sentences with the structure: preposition+ relative pronoun. Who can tell me the two sentences?‎ S1: a. The musicians of whom the band was formed played jokes on each other a s well as played music. ‎ b. However, after a year or so in which they became more serious about their work, "The Monkees" started to play their own instruments.‎ T: Very good. Pay attention to the structure here. In the Attributive Clause, when the preposition is put before the relative clause, usually only two relative pronouns are used——which and whom. That is never used. Look at the screen, and learn more about this kind of structure.‎ ‎1. In the strange city, he could not find anyone (to whom turned for help).‎ ‎2. I’ll never forget the day (on which we met for the first time).‎ ‎3. This is the professor (from whom we can learn a lot).‎ ‎4. This is the gun (with which the hunter shot the wolf).‎ T: Read the sentences together.‎ For this part, ask the students to do this exercise by themselves, and then let them discuss the answers in pairs. At last, check the answers with the whole class. ‎ T: Now let’s go on with the next exercise. Turn to page36, and let’s sort out the sentences. I’d like you to do this exercise by yourselves. After that discuss their answers in pairs and then let’s check the answers together.‎ Allow the Ss enough time for the exercise. ‎ Step Ⅲ Using words and phrases ‎1. When the students know what to do, ask them to do this exercise by themselves, and then check their answers first in pairs then with the whole class.‎ T: Turn to page 70, and let’s complete the sentences.

Are you ready?‎ Ss: Yes.‎ Suggested answers I like all kinds of music, such as folk music, classical music and pop music, especially pop music. I like folk music, because it makes me learn about the culture of different ethic groups, and I also like the voices of the folk singers, such as Song Zuying and Peng Liyuan. Listening to folk music, I often feel proud of our country. I like classical music, such as the compositions by Mozart and Beethoven. Listening to their music, I often feel inspired and it makes me think a lot about life. Pop music is often about simple but strong human feelings and events-love, sadness, good times and bad times. As life is complicated, it is good to hear about ordinary people.‎ Step Ⅱ Extensive reading (page 37)‎ Lead-in T: Yesterday, we learned a story about Freddy who wanted to be famous. Now we’ll learn more about him. Usually people want to be famous, but what is it like to be famous? Let’s read the story about him.‎ Fast reading with the following questions a.

I’d like you to have a discussion in groups of four, and then let’s check the answers together.‎ Suggested answers The Main idea is No.3. This is a story about a band that became famous and did not like it. Because only No. 3 best summarizes the main idea, all the others reflect just part of the main idea. At first, Freddy and his band wanted to be famous, but when he ‎ became famous, they were always being followed wherever they went, which they found painful. ‎ Exercise 4‎ T: We have learned about Freddy’s story. He enjoyed being famous, but when he became famous, he found it was too painful. Maybe everyone wants to be famous, what’s your opinion about it? Now let’s do Exercise 4. I’d like you to discuss the questions in groups of four, after the discussion I’d like you to answer the questions.‎ After several minutes T: Are you ready?‎ Ss: Yes.‎ Question 1‎ S1: Yes. I think I would enjoy being famous. Although being famous may cause many problems.

So I choose to be unknown to the public.‎ S3: Yes. I like being famous. When you were famous, there would be many people around you, you may feel successful, and you may feel very happy.‎ Question 2‎ S4: Being famous proves that you are very successful and have enough abilities. ‎ S5: You can have many fans, and draw the attention of more people if you are famous.‎ S6: Being famous makes you rich, popular and excited.

You needn’t worry about your appearance in the eyes of the public and your privacy.‎ S9: Not being famous can make you live a quiet life, and you can spend your time with your family and with your friends.‎ T: You all have done a good job. Being famous and not being famous both have advantages and disadvantages. ‎ Language points T: Look at the screen. Let’s go through the language points of this part.‎ ‎1. on a tour: visiting a place by a theatrical company. They visited Beijing on a tour.‎ ‎2.

Other music tells about love of country, love of nature, and love of home. Usually there are two major styles, when we discuss Han Chinese Folk music. One is the north and the other is the south. The north is cold, dry, and windy.‎ ‎ The hardships of life are reflected in the high-pitched, tense, and agitated style of folk song. The south, on the other hand, has mild weather and much rain. Life seems to be easier, and the folk songs of the south are generally lyrical and gentle in nature.I like the folk music in North China. From the songs I can see people in the north are hard- working and brave, they love our motherland, and in the songs they express their deep feelings. Peng Liyuan who is famous for her song Mount Yimeng Manor, Whoever Doesn’t Say Our Home is Good and Song Zuying who is famous for her song Good Times are my favourite folk singers. I like listening to their voices and their songs sing out our feelings about our country, our life, and our dreams.‎ Possible version 2‎ Chinese Folk Music ‎ Folk music is a kind of music that has been passed down from generation to generation. At first it did not appear in the written form, but in the oral form. People learnt the songs from their relatives, neighbors and friends, not from the book. Early performers used to learn hundreds of songs by heart. Most of the songs were about country life, the seasons, animals, plants as well as love and sadness in people’s lives. Because I like to learn the south culture, I like the south folk music. There are lots of famous folk music singers in China, for example, Li Shuangjiang, Jiang Dawei, Peng Liyuan, Song Zuying, etc. My favorite folk singer is Song Zuying. Her voice is very sweet. Most of her songs are about the life of the people in South Chinese and are very popular. She expresses deep feelings in her songs.‎ Step Ⅳ Assignment Consolidation:‎ T: Today we’ve learned how to write an e-mail and the steps to write a passage.
