These modern inventions have also greatly changed our lives. So, today, we are going to talk about great inventions. Look at the title of this unit: "Will computers be used more than books in the future?" Do you have any ideas about this question? Discuss it with your partners for a minute. (Students discuss) S4: I think computers will be used more because they can store a lot of information. S5: But books are easy to carry, so I don't think computers will be used more.

(Read the words several times) T: Now, let me explain some of them. "Borrow" means to take something from someone and return it later. For example, I can borrow a book from the library. "Lend" is the opposite. If I lend you my book, I give it to you and you will return it. Can you make sentences with "borrow" and "lend"? S6: I want to borrow your pen. S7: I can lend my eraser to you. T: Great! "Put up" has several meanings. Here, it means to display or post something. For example, we can put up a notice on the wall. "Website" is a place on the Internet where we can find a lot of information. Do you often visit websites? What websites do you like? S8: I often visit Baidu to search for information. S9: I like visiting some game websites. T: Good. "Electronic" means related to electronics. We have electronic products like electronic books, electronic watches. And "powerful" means having a lot of power or influence. The computer is a very powerful tool. Now, look at the pictures in Activity 1 on page 72. Talk about how these inventions have changed people's lives with your partner. And then answer the questions: How have these inventions changed people's lives? Which one do you think is the most important? What other important inventions can you think of? (Students talk and then share their ideas) S10: The mobile phone has changed our lives. We can communicate with others easily. I think it is very important. Another important invention is the airplane. It makes traveling faster. While - listening T: Now, let's listen to a conversation between Tony and his father. Before listening, look at the questions in Activity 2 on page 72. Listen carefully and complete the sentences. (Play the recording for the first time) T: OK, have you finished? Let's check the answers. (Check the answers together) T: Now, listen again. This time, try to understand the whole conversation. And then answer the questions in Activity 3 on page 72. Why does Tony want to borrow his father's camera? Will his father lend him the camera? What does his father ask him to do? (Play the recording for the second time) T: Stop. Let's answer the questions. Who wants to answer the first question? S11: Tony wants to borrow his father's camera to take some photos of the school dance and the basketball match. The photos will be put up on the school website. T: Very good. How about the second question? S12: His father will lend him the camera. T: And the third question? S13: His father asks him to take good care of the camera. If he lends it to others, he should tell them how to use it properly. T: Excellent! Now, open your books to page 72. Let's read the conversation together. Pay attention to the pronunciation and intonation. (Read the conversation together) Language points T: Now, let's learn some important language points in this conversation. First, look at this sentence: "They'll be put up on the school website." This is a sentence in the future simple passive voice. The structure is "will be + past participle". It means that something will be done by someone or something in the future. Can you give me another example? S14: The trees will be planted in the park. T: Good. Another point, "hear from sb." means to receive a letter, email, or phone call from someone. For example, I heard from my friend yesterday. Make a sentence with "hear from sb." S15: I haven't heard from my cousin for a long time. T: Great. "Promise to do sth." means to say that you will definitely do something. Tony promised to take good care of the camera. Can you make a sentence with "promise to do sth."? S16: I promise to finish my homework on time. T: Well done. "Take care of" means to look after. We should take good care of our books. And "lend sth. to sb." means to give something to someone for a short time. We've learned "borrow" and "lend" before. Remember the difference. Now, let's do some exercises on the screen to practice these language points. (Show some exercises on the screen and let students do them) T: Time's up. Let's check the answers. (Check the answers and explain the mistakes if there are any) Post - listening T: Now, let's do a role - play. Work in pairs. One of you is Tony, and the other is Tony's father. Act out the conversation. You can add some of your own words. (Students practice the role - play and then some pairs come to the front to act it out) T: Very good, everyone. You all did a great job. Now, let's think about this: In the future, what other inventions do you think will appear? And how will they change our lives? Discuss it with your group and then share your ideas with the class. (Students discuss in groups and then share their ideas) S17: I think there will be flying cars. They will make our travel more convenient. S18: Maybe there will be robots that can do all the housework for us. T: These are all very creative ideas. Inventions have always made our lives better.
