Step 1: Warming - up & Lead - in (5 minutes)

Teacher: Good morning, class! 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)
