学习目标
目标一:To get the conception and meaning of adult by watching the video and reading the poem
Activity 1: Watch the video and answer the questions.
1 What is a coming-of-age ceremony?
A coming-of-age ceremony is an event that marks the time when a young person moves from childhood to adulthood.
2 How do people celebrate in the video?
In Ancient China, people held a traditional “capping ceremony” for a man at the age of 20 and a “hair-pinning ceremony” for a woman around her 15th birthday. On the South Pacific island of Pentecost, a ceremony of land diving takes place only for boys. In the US, a particularly modern celebration takes place for a girl or a boy at the age of 16.
3 Which celebration makes the greatest impression on you? Why?
I think the celebration on the South Pacific island of Pentecost makes the greatest impression on me, because the ceremony is so special for a boy of only ten.
Activity 2: Listen and read the poem. Answer the questions.

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run
Yours is the Earth and everythi
