Step Ⅱ 3a
Ask the students to turn to page 48, look at Activity 3a on this page． Say, We can see there are three passages in this activity． They are three reviews about a movie, an exhibition and a band． Let's see the first one now． It is about a movie that is named Yellow River Fishermen． What does the reviewer think of the movie?
Who made it? What does the reviewer think of the director? Please scan it as quickly as you can and tell me the answers．
After about one minute, get all the children stop reading and ask who has got the answers． Choose three children who have put their hands up to show they know the answers to the three questions． Help them to get the proper answers．
Then ask the children to reread the reviews more carefully and tell them I will ask some more questions on it in details．
Let them read a little longer this time, around three minutes． Then ask the following questions orally and ask different students to reply, providing some help as necessary．
1: Is Yellow River Fishermen Hung Tao’s latest movie?
2: Does the reviewer like Hung Tao?
3: What has Hung Tao done over the years?
4: Does the reviewer think Yellow River Fishermen is the best movie of Hung Tao?
5: What does the reviewer suggest you doing if you are looking for entertainment?
6: Why does the reviewer think it is the worst movie of Hung Tao?

Give some explanation on the problems which are hard to understand for the children, such as, entertainment means fun, feature means special part of sb．/sth．, very different from the others, easy to recognize or remember, and wife is the opposite word of husband, A husband and a wife make up a family． And tell the children the plural form of wife is wives．
Now read the instructions to the students．
Ask them which sentences we should circle and which ones we should underline．
Check the answers with the students．
Teach the other two reviews with the same way．
Underlined: Every song is really loud and often you can’t understand the words…the lyrics aren’t very good．
Notes
1．on display= be on show
2．The few city photographs are less successful．=ost of the city photographs are very successful．

4．…from a world class photographer=…from one who is among the best photographer in the world．
5． suggest= bring an idea into the mind; propose．
Step Ⅳ 3b
Read the instructions to the children first． Ask one of them if he or she knows what we will do to make sure each one knows the tasks of this activity． Look at the chart now． We see two neords in the boxes, pros and cons． Pro means in favor of and con means against． We have to find out the pros and cons of the reviewers in Activity 3a and fill in the blanks with proper sentences． Have a look at the sample answer and try to write out the other answers, using the information from the reviews in Activity 3a． ove around the classroom while the children are writing to see if they can write out the right answers, offering help as needed．
Check the answers by asking several students to read their answers to the class． If someone did wrong, let the other students correct his or her answers．
Writing the answers on the blackboard as the students read makes it easy for the whole class to check the answers． Say, let’s review the task． What can we find out? Yes, right, we have got the similar answers with those in Activity 3a．
Step Ⅴ 3c
Read the instructions to the students．
Say, Decide what review you will write first, a review of a book, a CD or a movie?
Write down the name first． Note to use the capital letters． Let them think it over for a while and ask some ones the names of their articles． Next write a list of questions you plan to answer in your review．
e．g． Who wrote the book/made the movie/sang the songs?
What kind of people the writer/director/singer is?
What do I think of the writer/director/singer?
What do I think of the book/movie/songs/What do I like and dislike?
What suggestions will I give the readers?
etc．
These questions will help you to write your passage well． And you can look back at the questions in Activity 3a, Section A, before you begin writing． Use the three reviews as models． As the students are writing the list, move around the classroom to direct them．
After they have finished writing the questions, tell them to begin writing．
Continue moving around and always offering help when they need．
Ask several to read their passages to the class after they all have finished． Get the others to help correct the mistakes while they are reading．
Let them exchange their reviews with their partners． Help each other with the errors．
Step Ⅵ Part 4
Read the instructions to the class． Talk about what is happening in our city next onday． Ask a question like, What will happen in our city next onday? Let the students tell the event which is happening, such as, A VIP will visit our city and a new movie will be on show．
Tell them to write the sentences in the boxes below onday． Ask the students to work in groups of four to complete the work． Ask each other questions like, Do you knohat will happen in our city next Tuesday? Is there a football match in our city next Saturday? Is Song Zuying coming to sing songs at the biggest theatre in our city next Friday? etc．
Tell them to fill in the boxes, using the phrases with relative clause．
For example, a football match which is between Dalian Football Team and our City Team． If they don’t knohat will happen, they can invent events they would like to go to．
Ask some groups to share the events with the class． Then have the students discuss in groups of four again． Let them discuss what they would prefer to do together this time． Help them to express preferences with the target language． For example:
SA: What would you prefer/like/love to do together?
SB: Let’s go to see the new movie that was directed by Zhang Yimou．
SC :Why not go to watch the great football match that will be between two famous teams? It’s on Friday evening． We can have a great weekend together．
SD: No, we’d better go to…
After the discussion, let some groups report the results to the class． Help them to use sentences with relative clause in their reports． Help them to say in correct sentences． They may say like this:
Our group would like to watch :the fashion show that Chen Juanhong will perform on Friday evening． And we would prefer to go to listen to the musical group that is called Black Ducks on Saturday afternoon．
Sample answer
onday: a movie that is directed by Zhang Yimou an exhibition that is about Chinese traditional culture．

Look at the two pictures on this page．
Try to say something about them to tell what is happening． Then ask two students to describe the pictures to the class． Correct the sentences if they’ve made some mistakes．
Read the instructions for Activity I to the students． Be sure they knohat to do． Go over the five questions with them and choose five students to answer them individually． Then ask them to work in pairs, discussing the five questions． The answers will vary． Tell them not to look at the reading and give the answers by themselves before they begin． As students work, walk around the classroom, listen to them and offer any help they may need．
When all the pairs finish discussing, ask one or two pairs to ask and answer the questions． The others listen to them to see if they’ve made any mistakes and help them to correct their sentences．
Step Ⅲ Part 2
T Draw students’ attention to the instructions and read the instructions to them． Tell them． You are asked to read the passage quickly and make it clear—what healthy food and junk food are．
Say, Look at the chart in Activity 2,let’s see the examples first． Are you sure what you will do? Yes, read the text quickly and find out the answers to the chart．

Say, Do you know how you can be happy?
Read the article and you’ll know that．
Please begin reading it now． Try to guess the meanings of the bold words in context．
Have them to read the article to get the answer and try to get the meanings of the words in bold at the same time． Tell them to try to get the meanings in context this time． After they’ve all finished reading the passage once, ask the question, How can you be happy? The students may answer, It’s easy． Stop eating junk food, get more sleep, and exercise three times a week． Start today．
Next read the instructions in Activity 3 to the students． Tell them that they have two tasks now—match the words and expressions with their meanings and make sentences with the words and expressions．
First let the students match the words to meanings individually． Then check for answers to ensure that students understand the task． At last, let the children make sentences with the words and expressions． If they feel it hard to do, try to find the sentences with the words in the article and make similar ones by themselves．
Work in pairs． Ask several students to read their sentences to the class． Correct any mistakes as necessary．
Step Ⅴ Part 4
Read the instructions to the students． Ask the first question as a sample and ask one to answer it． Have the students read the article again and get the answers to the five questions by themselves．

Ask, Have you done any exercise in the last three days? What exercise have you done? Get one of the students to answer the questions． Tell them exercise can be as simple as going for a long walk．
Students ask similar questions on all the three headlines in pairs． And fill in the forms with their own answers． Ask several children to report the answers to the class． After that ask them if they think about eating less junk food and getting more exercise．
