Before we start our new lesson, let's think about sports. I know many of you love sports. So, do you often play sports? Raise your hands if you do. (Wait for students to raise hands) Great! Now, can anyone tell me which sport you often play? Student 1: I often play basketball. Teacher: Nice! Basketball is a really exciting sport. What about you? Student 2: I like running. Teacher: Running is wonderful for keeping fit. Now, let's think a bit deeper. When we do sports, accidents or problems can sometimes happen. So, I want you to think about this: What kinds of accidents or problems can happen when someone is playing sports? For example, when you play basketball, you might... Student 3: You might sprain your ankle. Teacher: Exactly! Spraining an ankle is a common sports injury. Anyone else? Student 4: You could get hit by the ball. Teacher: Right! The ball can be quite hard. Well done. Now, look at the title of the passage on your books: “He Lost His Arm But Is Still Climbing”. Just from this title, can you tell me which sport the person in the story often does? Student 5: Mountain climbing. Teacher: Absolutely! And can you make a guess about what happened to him? Student 6: Maybe he lost his arm while mountain climbing. Teacher: That's a very good guess based on the title. Now, let's move on and see if your guess is right. Step 2: Pre - reading (5 minutes) Teacher: Now, look at the task in 2a. Accidents or problems can occur when we do sports. We have three sports here: A = soccer, B = mountain climbing, C = swimming. And we have some accidents or problems. I want you to match them. First, let's look at “fall down”. Which sport do you think it is related to? Discuss with your partners for one minute. (Students discuss) Student 7: I think “fall down” can be related to both soccer and mountain climbing. In soccer, players might fall down on the field, and in mountain climbing, climbers can fall down from the mountains. Teacher: Great analysis! So, we can write A and B next to “fall down”. Now, let's look at “have problems breathing”. Which sport could this be related to? Student 8: Mountain climbing, because the air might be thin on high mountains, and also swimming, if you swallow water by accident. Teacher: Perfect! So, B and C for “have problems breathing”. Let's continue with the rest of them. Try to finish this task in two minutes. (Students work on the task) Step 3: While - reading (15 minutes) Teacher: Now, let's start reading the passage in 2b. Before we read, I want to teach you a very useful reading skill: scanning. Scanning means moving your eyes quickly down the page to find specific information. Today, when you scan the passage, your task is to find out the new words or expressions. Then, try to look up each one in a dictionary and write down its meaning. Let's start. (Students start scanning and looking up words) Teacher: Have you found some new words? Who wants to share one? Student 9: I found “be used to”. It means “习惯于” in Chinese. Teacher: Good. “Be used to” is a very important phrase. Here, “to” is a preposition, so we use the - ing form after it. For example, “He is used to getting up early.” What other new words did you find? Student 10: “Take risks”. It means “冒险”. Teacher: Right. Taking risks is common in dangerous sports like mountain climbing. Now, let's read the passage more carefully and work on 2c. Read the passage again. After each statement, choose or circle True, False or Don't Know. Start reading. (Students read and do the task) Teacher: Let's check the answers. For the first statement, “Aron loves mountain climbing.” Is it true or false? Class: True. Teacher: Correct. The passage says “Aron Ralston is an American man who is interested in mountain climbing.” So, he loves it. Now, let's move on to the second one... Teacher: Now, for 2d. Read the article again and answer the questions. You have to underline the sentences which show you the answers. Let's start with the first question: Where did the accident happen on April 26, 2003? Student 11: It happened in Utah, America. The sentence is “On April 26, 2003, he found himself in a very dangerous situation when climbing in Utah.” Teacher: Excellent! Underline that sentence. Now, let's answer the second question: Why couldn't Aron move? Student 12: His arm was caught under a 360 - kilo rock that fell on him when he was climbing by himself in the mountains. Teacher: Great. Underline that part. Let's continue with the rest of the questions. (Students answer the questions and underline the relevant sentences) Step 4: Post - reading (10 minutes) Teacher: Now, let's work on 2e. Put the sentences in the correct order. Then use them to tell Aron's story to your partner. Try to add other details from the reading. First, let's look at the first sentence “On April 26, 2003, he had a serious mountain climbing accident.” When should this sentence be in the order? Discuss with your partner. Student 13: I think it should be the second sentence. Because first, we should know that Aron loves mountain climbing. Teacher: Right. So, the correct order starts with “Aron loves mountain climbing and doesn't mind taking risks.” Now, let's arrange the rest of the sentences. (Students arrange the sentences) Teacher: Let's check the order together. The correct order is 2, 1, 5, 4, 3. Now, I want two students to come to the front and tell Aron's story using these sentences. Who wants to try? (Two students come to the front and tell the story) Teacher: Very good job! Now, let's summarize the important phrases in this passage. We have “fall down” which means to drop to the ground. “Be interested in” means to have a feeling of wanting to know or learn about something. “Because of” is used to introduce a reason, and it is followed by a noun or a noun phrase. For example, “He was late because of the traffic.” “Run out of” means to use up all of something. Can you give me an example? Student 14: We ran out of milk this morning. Teacher: Great example! Another important phrase is “cut off”. In the story, Aron cut off half his right arm. It means to remove something by cutting. Now, let's do a small exercise. I will give you some sentences, and you need to fill in the blanks with the correct phrases we just learned. (Teacher gives sentences and students fill in the blanks) Step 5: Discussion & Summary (5 minutes) Teacher: Now, class, let's think about Aron's story. What do you think of Aron? What qualities does he have? Discuss with your group for three minutes. (Students discuss) Student 15: I think Aron is very brave. Because he cut off his own arm to save his life. Teacher: Absolutely! Bravery is a very important quality. What else? Student 16: He is also very determined. Even after losing his arm, he still keeps on climbing mountains. Teacher: Right! Determination helps him not to give up. So, from Aron's story, what can we learn? Student 17: We should be brave when we face difficulties. Teacher: Exactly! No matter how hard the situation is, we should not give up easily. Now, let's summarize what we have learned today. We learned about Aron's mountain climbing accident, some new words and phrases, and also the importance of being brave and determined. Remember these lessons and apply them in your lives. Step 6: Homework (Optional, can be briefly mentioned at the end) Teacher: For homework, I want you to write a short passage about a person who overcame a big difficulty. You can use the phrases and the writing skills we learned today. The passage should be at least 80 words. Hand it in next class. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
