Yesterday, we learned how to talk about health problems. So, I'll show you some pictures, and you tell me what's the matter with the people in the pictures. Here we go. (Show the first picture of a boy with a sore throat) What's the matter with this boy? Ss:He has a sore throat. T:Great! (Show the second picture of a girl with a headache) And what about this girl? Ss:She has a headache. T:Correct. Now, let's think about this. What should we do when we see someone with health problems? For example, if you see a person with a nosebleed, what can you do to help? Talk with your partners for a minute. (Students talk in pairs) Okay, time's up. Who wants to share your ideas? S1:We can tell him to put his head down and pinch his nose. T:That's a very good way. Thank you. Now, let's look at another situation. (Show a picture of an old man lying on the road) Look at this picture. What happened to this old man? And what should we do to help him? Today, we are going to read a story about this kind of situation. Open your books to Page 3, and let's start our new lesson. 读前预测 T:First, look at the title of the passage "Bus Driver and Passengers Save an Old Man" and the picture on Page 3. What can you guess from the title and the picture? Talk with your partners and share your ideas. (Students discuss in pairs) Now, who wants to tell us your guesses? S2:Maybe the bus driver and the passengers helped the old man. T:Good guess. What else? S3:The old man might be sick or had an accident. T:Very possible. Now, let's look at the questions below the picture. What happened to the man lying by the road? What was the person next to him doing? And who do you think is going to save the man? Discuss these questions in your groups. (Students discuss in groups) Time's up. Which group wants to answer the first question? Group 1:Maybe the old man was sick or hurt. He was lying on the side of the road. T:Good. How about the second question? What was the person next to him doing? Group 2:The woman next to him was shouting for help. T:Right. And for the last question, who do you think is going to save the man? Group 3:We think the bus driver and the passengers will save the man. T:Well, let's read the passage to see if your guesses are right. 读中理解 快速阅读找主旨 T:Now, I want you to skim the passage quickly, within one minute. While you are skimming, think about this question: What is the main idea of this passage? Here are some options on the screen. A. A bus driver saw an old man. B. A bus driver and passengers saved an old man. C. A traffic accident happened yesterday. Start skimming now. (Students skim the passage) Time's up. So, which option is the correct one? Raise your hands. Ss:(Most students raise their hands and answer) B. T:Absolutely right. The main idea of this passage is that a bus driver and passengers saved an old man. The title also gives us a big hint. Now, let's move on to a more detailed reading. 细节阅读解内容 T:Read Paragraph 1 carefully and answer these questions on the screen. When and where did it happen? Who were there? And what happened? Start reading. (Students read Paragraph 1) Okay, who can answer the first question? When and where did it happen? S4:It happened at 9:00 a.m. yesterday on Zhonghua Road. T:Great. And who were there? S5:There was a bus driver, an old man, and a woman. T:Correct. Now, what happened? S6:The bus driver saw an old man lying on the side of the road, and a woman next to him was shouting for help. T:Perfect. Now, let's look at Paragraph 2. Read it carefully and put the sentences in the right order on your papers. I'll give you a few minutes. (Students read Paragraph 2 and arrange the sentences) Time's up. Let's check the answers. The first sentence should be "The driver stopped the bus without thinking twice." The second one is "He got off and asked the woman what happened." Then, "He expected some passengers to get off and wait for the next bus." After that, "Passengers all agreed to go with him." And the last one is "Some passengers helped the driver to move the man onto the bus." Did you all get it right? If you have any questions, raise your hands. S7:Teacher, why did the driver stop the bus without thinking twice? T:That's a good question. Because he saw someone in need of help. He was kind - hearted and knew he had to do something to save the old man. Now, let's move on to Paragraph 3. Read it and answer these two questions. What was the result of the old man? And what did the driver think about? (Students read Paragraph 3) S8:The old man was saved by the doctors in time. T:Right. And what did the driver think about? S9:The driver only thought about saving a life. T:Very good. Now, let's read the whole passage again and do 3b. Check the things that happened in the story. (Students read the passage again and do 3b) T:Let's check the answers. Number 1, Wang Ping was the driver of bus No. 26 at 9:00 a.m. yesterday. Is this true? Ss:Yes. T:Number 2, Bus No.26 hit an old man on Zhonghua Road. Is this true? Ss:No. T:Correct. The bus didn't hit the old man. Number 3, The old man had a heart problem and needed to go to the hospital right away. Is this true? Ss:Yes. T:Number 4, The passengers on the bus didn't want to go to the hospital, so only the driver went with the old man. Is this true? Ss:No. T:That's right. The passengers all agreed to go with the driver to help the old man. 语言点讲解 T:Now, let's look at some important language points in this passage. First, "see sb. doing sth." We saw this in the sentence "The driver saw an old man lying on the side of the road." It means the driver saw the old man when he was in the process of lying there. For example, I saw a bird flying in the sky. What does this sentence mean? S10:It means you saw the bird when it was flying. T:Exactly. Next, "without doing sth." The driver stopped the bus without thinking twice. Here, "without thinking twice" shows that the driver made a quick decision. Can you make a sentence with "without doing sth."? S11:He left the classroom without saying goodbye. T:Very good. Another one is "to one's surprise". In the passage, it says "But to his surprise, they all agreed to go with him." It means the driver was surprised that the passengers agreed to help. For example, to my surprise, he passed the exam easily. What does this sentence show? S12:It shows that you were surprised that he passed the exam easily. T:Right. And "agree to do sth." The passengers agreed to go with the driver. It means they said "yes" to going with the driver. Now, let's look at "have a heart problem". This is a common way to describe a health problem. Can you think of other expressions about health problems? S13:Have a headache, have a stomachache. T:Good. And "wait for" is also in the passage. The driver expected the passengers to get off and wait for the next bus. It means to stay in a place until someone or something comes. Make a sentence with "wait for". S14:I am waiting for my mother at the bus stop. T:Great. Another important phrase is "thanks to". Thanks to Mr. Wang and the passengers, the man was saved by the doctors in time. It means because of. Thanks to your help, I finished my homework on time. What does this sentence mean? S15:It means because of your help, I finished my homework on time. T:Correct. And "in time" means not late. The doctors saved the man in time. Can you make a sentence with "in time"? S16:I got to school in time this morning. T:Very good. Now, let's move on to 3c. 读后讨论 T:Let's discuss the questions in 3c with your partners. Why was Wang Ping surprised that passengers agreed to go to the hospital with him? Did the passengers think Wang Ping did the right thing? How do you know? And do you agree that people often do not help others because they don't want to get into trouble? Why or why not? Start discussing. (Students discuss in pairs) T:Okay, time's up. Let's share your ideas. First, why was Wang Ping surprised that passengers agreed to go to the hospital with him? S17:Maybe because usually people might be in a hurry and not want to get involved, but these passengers were willing to help. T:Good point. Now, did the passengers think Wang Ping did the right thing? How do you know? S18:The passengers thought Wang Ping did the right thing because they all agreed to go with him to the hospital. T:Right. Now, for the last question, do you agree that people often do not help others because they don't want to get into trouble? Why or why not? S19:I agree. Sometimes people are afraid that if they help, they might be blamed or have some problems themselves. T:That's one opinion. What about others? S20:I don't agree. Most people are kind - hearted and will help others when they see someone in trouble. T:Both of your ideas are very good. In fact, in our life, we should try our best to help others when they are in need. Just like Wang Ping and the passengers in the story. 课堂总结 T:Today, we learned a very meaningful story about a bus driver and passengers saving an old man. We also learned some important language points, such as "see sb. doing sth.", "without doing sth.", "to one's surprise", "agree to do sth.", "have a heart problem", "wait for", "thanks to", and "in time". Remember to use these phrases in your daily English. And more importantly, we should always be ready to help others. Now, let's review the key points together. First, the main idea of the story is... Ss:A bus driver and passengers saved an old man. T:Right. And some important phrases. For example, when we want to say we saw someone in the process of doing something, we use... Ss:See sb. doing sth. T:Very good. And when we want to show that someone did something without hesitation, we can use... Ss:Without doing sth. T:Great. Let's also remember to be kind - hearted and helpful like Wang Ping and the passengers. 作业布置 T:For today's homework, first, I want you to retell the story to your parents or friends. Try to use the important phrases we learned today. Second, write a short passage about a time when you helped someone or someone helped you. You can start like this: "One day, I saw a little girl crying on the street. I asked her what was the matter..." I hope you can all complete your homework carefully. That's all for today's class.
