Unit 2 Period 5 Writing & Presenting ideas 新 课 导 入 1. Do you have a good temper or a bad temper? 2. How do you hold your temper? 课 堂 学 习 1 Read the story and answer the questions. There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day, the boy hammered so many nails into the fence that his father had to give him a whole new bag. Over the next few weeks, as he learnt to control his anger, he hammered fewer and fewer nails into the fence each day. He had learnt that it was easier to hold his temper than to hammer nails into the fence. Finally, the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper all day, not even once. He told his father, who said that now the boy should pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The day passed by and the boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son and led him to the fence. He said, “You’ve done well, son, but look at all the holes in the fence! That fence will never be the same. When you say something in anger, it leaves a hole in someone’s heart, just like your nails have left holes in the fence. It doesn’t matter how many times you say sorry. The hole is still there.” 1 What aspect of self-management is the passage about? The passage is about how to control one’s own temper. 2 What message do you think the story conveys? We should control our temper. Because when we say something in anger, it leaves a hole in someone’s heart, just like the nails have left holes in the fence. Work in groups and discuss the elements of a reflection. Summary of the story My thoughts Conclusion 2 Make notes about the story. Summary of the story: My thoughts:
