Today, we are going to explore Unit 3 The Internet, specifically the Reading and Thinking part. The title of our reading passage is "Stronger Together: How We Have Been Changed by the Internet". Let's first think about the Internet in our daily lives. What are some of the things you do online regularly? Raise your hands and share with the class. Student 1: I like to play online games. It's a great way to relax and compete with friends. Student 2: I often watch videos on YouTube. There are so many interesting channels with educational and entertaining content. Student 3: I use the Internet to do research for my school projects. It helps me find a lot of information quickly. Teacher: Excellent! As you can see, the Internet has become an integral part of our lives. Now, let's look at the title of our passage "Stronger Together: How We Have Been Changed by the Internet". What do you think this passage might be about just from the title? Discuss with your partners for a minute. (Students discuss) Teacher: Okay, let's hear some of your thoughts. Student 4: I think it will talk about how the Internet has made our lives better and how it has brought people closer. Teacher: That's a very good prediction. The word "stronger together" implies a sense of connection and improvement. Now, let's start reading the passage. I will give you about 10 minutes to read it carefully. While you are reading, try to identify the main idea of each paragraph and think about how the Internet has changed the people mentioned in the text. (Students read the passage) Teacher: Alright, let's start with the first paragraph. Who can summarize the main idea of the first paragraph? Student 5: The first paragraph says that there are many articles about how the Internet has made our lives more convenient, like not having to wait in line to shop or being able to get the latest information. But it also mentions that the Internet has done more than just that, and it has changed people's lives through online communities and social networks. Teacher: Perfect! So, the main idea is that people's lives have been changed by the Internet, not only in terms of convenience but also through new social connections. Now, let's move on to the story of Jan Tchamani in the second paragraph. Why did Jan have to quit her job? Student 6: Jan suddenly developed a serious illness, so she had to quit her job. Teacher: Right. And how did the Internet help her during this difficult time? Student 7: She found that surfing the Internet could make her feel less lonely and bored. She could listen to music, watch films, play games, and explore the world. She also joined an online group where she could talk about her problems and get support. Teacher: Exactly. She realized one of the great benefits of the Internet, which is its ability to remove the distance between people. Now, let's look at the third paragraph. Why did Jan decide to start an IT club? Student 8: She was inspired by the people she met online, so she decided to start an IT club to teach older people how to use computers and the Internet. Teacher: Very good. And what kind of help did the club provide? Student 9: The club organized events and collected money for private teachers. It helped many people. For example, a 59 - year - old man learned to apply for work online and got a great job, and a 61 - year - old woman started a successful online company. Teacher: Great summary. Now, let's look at the fourth paragraph. What is Jan's next goal? Student 10: Her next goal is to start a charity website to raise money for children in poor countries. Teacher: Correct. And why does she think it's important to bridge the digital divide? Student 11: Because she believes everyone should have access to the Internet and know how to use new technology. Teacher: Absolutely. The digital divide means the gap between those who can use the Internet and new technology and those who can't. Jan wants to make sure everyone can benefit from the Internet. Now, let's do a deeper analysis of the language used in the passage. In the sentence "We no longer have to wait in line or carry cash around when we go shopping", what does "no longer" mean? Student 12: It means not anymore. We don't need to do those things now because of the Internet. Teacher: Right. And what about the phrase "get access to" in "She believes that it is highly important to bridge the digital divide and make sure that everyone has access to the Internet and knows how to use new technology"? What does it mean? Student 13: It means to be able to use or obtain something. In this case, it means everyone should be able to use the Internet. Teacher: Perfect. Now, let's think about the impact of the Internet in our own lives. How is our life different from before the Internet? And do you think these changes are all positive? Discuss in groups of four for about 5 minutes. (Students discuss) Teacher: Let's hear from each group. Group 1, what do you think? Group 1 representative: Our life has become much more convenient. We can communicate with people far away easily, and we can get information quickly. But there are also some negative sides. For example, too much screen time can be bad for our eyes, and there is a lot of false information on the Internet. Teacher: That's a very balanced view. Group 2, what's your opinion? Group 2 representative: We think the Internet has made learning more accessible. We can take online courses and learn new things at any time. However, it can also be a distraction. Sometimes we spend too much time on social media instead of studying. Teacher: Good points. Now, let's do a little writing exercise. I want you to write a short paragraph about how the Internet has changed you personally. You can mention some of the things you do online and how it has affected your life. You have 10 minutes to write this paragraph. (Students write) Teacher: Alright, let's stop here. Who would like to share their paragraph with the class? Volunteer! Student 14: The Internet has changed my life a lot. I often use it to learn English. I watch English - language videos on YouTube and read English articles online. It has improved my English skills. Also, I can communicate with my friends from different cities easily. We chat and share our daily lives. However, sometimes I find it hard to focus because there are so many interesting things on the Internet. Teacher: Very well written. You clearly stated the positive and negative impacts on your life. Now, let's summarize what we have learned today. We learned about how the Internet has changed people's lives through the story of Jan and others. We also analyzed some important language points and thought about the impact of the Internet in our own lives. For homework, I want you to read the passage again and write a short essay about whether you think the Internet has made the world a better place. You should give at least three reasons to support your opinion. This essay should be about 200 words. That's all for today's class. Thank you, everyone! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
