I lasted two days. The detox was more difficult to tolerate than I had
expected. I felt like I had lost an arm! Not eating for two days would have
been easier! But on reflection, I can see how much of my time had been occupied with checking my phone. I’m now trying to spend less time online and more time picking up my hobbies.
some key words and phrases
=to start again; to continue
=bear, stand, put up with
= careful consideration
1. tolerate
2. on reflection
3. pick up
I managed the whole week! At first, I really felt I was missing out. Then,
instead of messaging my friend, I went round to her house. Without our
phones, we had a proper conversation for over two hours, without being distracted by messages from other people. It felt so good! Then I decided to visit a different friend every day. By the fifth day, I wondered – was I really missing out by not constantly checking my phone to see what everyone else was up to?
=to lose an opportunity to do or have something
1.miss out
2. be up to
= be busy with
some key words and phrases
I did all seven days, too! To be honest, I didn’t find the detox too difficult, but I did give my phone to my dad to avoid giving in! My brother thought I
should make full use of the time without my phone, so he took me to check out our local sports centre. An hour’s sport each day left me tired out and wanting to go to bed early. The detox made me healthier!
1. give in
2. check out
3. leave sb +adj.

to accept that you are defeated in a game or fight
some key words and phrases
I’m embarrassed to say that I threw in the towel on the first day! I knew there
was a party happening that evening, but without access to social media I
couldn’t remember where it was! In the end, I turned on my phone to check, but couldn’t resist having a quick look at my social media accounts. What’s worse, I then spent so much time catching up on news, I almost missed the party!
to stop trying to do something because you think you cannot win
1. throw in the towel:
2. catch up on news :
make it up for the news
some key words and phrases
Can you find the significance of the activity?
The detox raised a total of £1632.82 for new school sports equipment! It seems that something other than money has also been raised through the detox. Awareness of just how much we rely on social media can help us step away from it and communicate with each other better.

单元主题
本板块呈现了一篇反映单元主题的课文、语篇类型为论坛专题讨论,介绍了一场“社交媒体脱瘾”活动,五位参与该活动的学生谈论了他们的亲身经历和感受。通过对课文的学习,学生可以了解到合理利用社交媒体、减少对社交媒体的依赖有助于更健康的人际交流。
过程教学目标
1.让学生认识到社交媒体带来的负面影响
2.提高学生提取关键信息的能力
3.培养学生理解课文细节的能力
4.鼓励学生戒除社交媒体成瘾
本节课的设计思路
通过视频导入本课的主题手机
通过对手机是使用情况的分析让学生们意识到真正影响我们的不是手机而是其中的各种社交媒体软件,并分析其可能带来的消极影响
通过阅读和听文章了解大致内容
通过与高考相似的的各种题型对文章的细节内容进行理解
通过对文章的总结让学生们意识到我们需要控制自己的手机,并想出一些有效的措施
将本堂课内容转化为一封建议信
