Unit 1 Lesson 1
Step 1 Check the pronunciation of the
new words in Unit 1
Ask one or two students to read aloud
the new words one by one, correct their
pronunciation and then ask all the students
to read aloud after the teacher (twice
for each word).
Step 2 Dialogue
Tell the students "Now , we are
going to listen to a dialogue about a
medical conference. Here are two questions
for you to think about while you are listening.
I'll play the tape twice and you are supposed
to give the answers and the key words
that support your answers."
Tell the students the two questions and
write them on the blackboard if necessary.
Questions: 1. Is it a good conference
this year? (No.)
2. What is it like? (Very disappointing;
not as good as last year's.)
I. Listening (twice)
Play the tape for the students to listen
to. Try asking them to answer the two
questions at the end of the first time.
If most of them can answer the questions
properly, you can let the students repeat
the dialogue sentence by sentence at the
second time.
II. Answering questions
III. Go through the dialogue
Ask the students to underline the expressions
of certainty and uncertainty, write them
on the blackboard or display them on the
screen. Ask,
"What do you think the function of
these expressions? And when shall we use
them?"
"Is there any difference?"
The students will definitely say "Yes".
Encourage them to tell which expressions
show certainty and which show uncertainty.
Then ask,
"Can you give some more such similar
expressions to express certainty and uncertainty?"
Put down what the students say or remind
them to remember some and put them down
on the blackboard. The students should
copy the in their textbooks.
a.the expressions of certainty:
I'm sure…
The expressions of uncertainty:
I'm not sure
I doubt if…
Perhaps…
Maybe…
b. How did you find the talk this morning?
How did you like ? / What did you think
of ? / What was the talk like…?
IV. Practice (group work)
Let the students practice the dialogue
in groups of two or four while the teacher
walks among the students in case there
are some questions and problems to answer
and settle.
Step3 Practice (Part 2 &3 on Page
1)
These two exercises are easy enough
for the students to finish in a short
time. The teacher should remind and encourage
them to make as many proper sentences
as possible. e.g.
1 (I'm sure) +a/b/c/d/e/f/g
Step 4 Workbook (Ex.3, Page 73)
Homework:
1. Ex,2, P73
2. Learn the dialogue in Lesson 1 by
heart.
(For some students whose English is
really poor, maybe reading fluently is
enough.)
