Today, we are going to start with our Unit 5 - The Value of Money, specifically focusing on the Listening and Speaking part. First, let's think about money. We all know money is important in our lives. But what can money buy, and what can it not buy? Let's have a quick brainstorm. Raise your hands and share your ideas. Student 1: Money can buy a house, a car, and clothes. Teacher: Very good. Those are some common things we can purchase with money. What else? Student 2: We can buy food and books with money. Teacher: Right. Money helps us meet our basic needs like food and also aids in our learning by buying books. Now, anyone think of things money can't buy? Student 3: Money can't buy love. Teacher: Exactly! Love is something that comes from the heart and can't be purchased. What else? Student 4: Health. Even if you have a lot of money, you can't always buy good health. Teacher: That's a great point. So, we can see that money can meet our material needs, such as buying a house or clothes, but it can't buy us spiritual things like love and true friendship. Now, let's look at this quote by Francis Bacon: "Money is a good servant and a bad master." What do you think he meant by this? Discuss in pairs for a minute and then we'll share. (Students discuss in pairs) Teacher: Okay, let's hear some of your thoughts. Who wants to start? Student 5: I think it means that money is useful when we use it properly to get what we need, but if we let money control our lives, it will make us unhappy. Teacher: Excellent interpretation! Just as we discussed, money can be a great help, but if we become too obsessed with it, it can have a negative impact. Now, let's move on to our listening part. Before we listen, I want you to imagine a situation. Suppose you were a poor cleaner, and one day, while you were sweeping the floor at a railway station, you found a small plastic bag with 100,000 yuan inside. How would you feel, and what would you do? Talk to your partner about it. (Students talk to their partners) Teacher: Time's up. Let's hear some of your ideas. Student 6: I would be shocked, but I would be determined to return the money to its owner. Teacher: That's an honorable choice. Why would you do that? Student 6: Because it's not my money, and the owner must be very worried. Teacher: Great. What if you waited for two hours and still couldn't find the owner? What would you do then? Student 7: I would go to the nearest police station and turn the money in. I hope the police can help me return it to the owner. Teacher: That's a smart decision. Now, let's listen to a news report. The news is about a real - life situation similar to what we just imagined. As you listen, your first task is to match the people with the correct information. Here are the names: Chen Liyan, Wang Zheng, Ma Dongbao, and Liu Xia. And the descriptions: A - the owner of the lost money, B - a cleaner at Taiyuan railway station, C - a police officer living in Chen's apartment building, D - Chen's 16 - year - old daughter. Are you ready? Let's listen. (The teacher plays the news report) Teacher: Okay, let's stop here. Have you matched the people? Let's check. Who thinks they have the correct answers? Student 8: Chen Liyan is B, a cleaner at Taiyuan railway station. Wang Zheng is A, the owner of the lost money. Ma Dongbao is C, a police officer living in Chen's apartment building. And Liu Xia is D, Chen's 16 - year - old daughter. Teacher: Very good. You got it right. Now, let's listen again. This time, I want you to put these events in the correct order. First, write down the numbers 1 - 6 in your notebooks. The events are: Chen Liyan found Wang Zheng's money and returned it to him. Chen gave an interview to the local newspaper. Wang built a website to help raise funds for Liu Xia. Ma Dongbao shared Chen's story with Wang. Chen spent all her savings and took out a large loan. Wang offered Chen 5,000 yuan. Listen carefully and order these events. (The teacher plays the news report again) Teacher: Alright, let's compare our answers. Who wants to share the order they got? Student 9: I think the order is: First, Chen Liyan found Wang Zheng's money and returned it to him. That's number 1. Then, Wang offered Chen 5,000 yuan, which is number 2. Next, Chen gave an interview to the local newspaper, number 3. After that, Chen spent all her savings and took out a large loan, number 4. Then, Ma Dongbao shared Chen's story with Wang, number 5. And finally, Wang built a website to help raise funds for Liu Xia, number 6. Teacher: Let's check if that's correct. In the news report, it first tells us that Chen Liyan found the money while sweeping the floor at Taiyuan Railway Station early last Tuesday morning. She was shocked but determined to return it. She waited for over two hours and then went to the nearest police station, where the money was returned to Wang Zheng. So, the first event is Chen Liyan found Wang Zheng's money and returned it to him. Then, Wang thanked Chen repeatedly and offered her 5,000 yuan as a reward. So, Wang offering 5,000 yuan is the second event. Later, when interviewed by the local paper yesterday, Chen said her thoughts, which means Chen gave an interview to the local newspaper. So, that's the third event. We also learn that Chen's daughter, 16 - year - old Liu Xia, is seriously ill, and Chen had already spent the last of her savings on treatments and taken out a large loan. So, Chen spent all her savings and took out a large loan is the fourth event. Ma Dongbao, who works at the police station and lives in the same apartment building as Chen's family, was aware of Chen's difficulties. When Wang was told about Chen's situation, he decided to set up a fundraising website. So, Ma Dongbao sharing Chen's story with Wang is the fifth event, and Wang building a website to help raise funds for Liu Xia is the sixth event. So, the correct order is 1, 5, 2, 6, 4, 3. Well, let's analyze why this order is correct. The news usually reports events in a chronological order, but sometimes, for the sake of storytelling or emphasizing certain points, the order might seem a bit mixed in the report. We need to carefully follow the details to get the correct sequence. Now, let's listen one more time. This time, I will give you some statements, and you need to decide if they are true or false. Listen carefully. The first statement: It was the first time Chen Liyan's story was reported. The second statement: Chen found 10,000 yuan in a small plastic bag in Taiyuan railway station. The third statement: Wang Zheng apologised to Chen because he couldn't offer her more money. The fourth statement: Chen took out a large loan to cure her daughter. The fifth statement: Wang set up a fundraising website for Chen's daughter after Chen told him about her situation. (The teacher plays the news report for the third time) Teacher: Okay, let's go through the statements one by one. Is the first statement true or false? Student 10: False. Because it was reported in the local paper, so it wasn't the first time. Teacher: Correct. What about the second statement? Student 11: False. Chen found 100,000 yuan, not 10,000 yuan. Teacher: Right. Third statement? Student 12: False. Wang Zheng apologised for the inconvenience, not because he couldn't offer more money. Teacher: Good. Fourth statement? Student 13: True. The news said Chen had already spent the last of her savings on the ongoing treatments and had also taken out a large loan for her daughter. Teacher: Correct. And the fifth statement? Student 14: False. It was Ma Dongbao who told Wang about Chen's situation, not Chen herself. Teacher: Well done, everyone. You all listened very carefully. Now, let's discuss some deeper questions. First, how did Wang Zheng feel about the return of his money? Discuss with your partner and explain your reasoning. (Students discuss in pairs) Teacher: Let's hear your thoughts. Student 15: Wang Zheng must have felt very grateful because he thanked Chen repeatedly and even offered her a reward. Teacher: That's a valid point. What else? Student 16: He might also have felt a bit surprised that someone would return such a large amount of money. Teacher: True. Losing such a large sum of money could have been a big problem for him, and Chen's honesty really helped him out. Now, the second question. Why did Ma Dongbao tell Wang about Chen's family? Student 17: Because Ma Dongbao knew Chen's difficulties and wanted to help. He thought Wang might be willing to help Chen since she had returned his money. Teacher: Excellent analysis. Ma Dongbao was kind - hearted and saw an opportunity to help Chen's family through Wang's help. Now, let's work in groups of four. I want you to discuss the following question: What do you think of Chen Liyan's actions? Is her way of thinking about money a good example for us? Each group choose a representative to share your group's ideas later. (Students work in groups of four and discuss) Teacher: Time's up. Let's start with Group 1. Who is the representative? Group 1 Representative: Our group thinks Chen Liyan's actions are really great. She showed great honesty and integrity. Even though she was in a difficult situation with her daughter's illness, she didn't keep the money. Her way of thinking about money is a very good example for us. Money is important, but honesty and doing the right thing are more important. Teacher: That's a wonderful perspective. What about Group 2? Group 2 Representative: We agree with Group 1. Chen Liyan's story shows that money isn't everything. She could have used the money to help her daughter, but she chose to do the right thing. This teaches us that we should always have a correct attitude towards money. Teacher: Very well said. Group 3? Group 3 Representative: Our group discussed that Chen Liyan is a role model. Her actions can inspire more people to be honest. In today's society, we need more people like her to show the true value of money, which is not just for material things but also for helping others in a proper way. Teacher: Great insights. Group 4? Group 4 Representative: We think Chen Liyan's decision was not easy, but it was the right one. Her example makes us think that we should not be controlled by money. We should use money in a way that aligns with our values, just like she did by returning the money. Teacher: All of your group discussions are really impressive. You all understand the story and the message behind it very well. Now, let's move on to a speaking activity related to intonation. Listen to this short conversation: "It's a million - pound bank note." Pay attention to the intonation. I will play it again, and this time, mark the intonation with the appropriate symbols in your notebooks. Then, discuss with a partner what the different intonations might intend to convey. (The teacher plays the short conversation) Teacher: Let's check the intonation. When we say "It's a million - pound bank note." with a rising intonation at the end, it might sound like we are a bit surprised or we are asking for confirmation, like we can't believe it. If we say it with a falling intonation, it could sound like a statement of fact, maybe with a sense of awe. Now, let's listen to some more conversations. This time, underline the parts that are stressed and mark the intonation. Then, talk about the implied meanings of the responses with different intonations. Listen again and repeat. (The teacher plays the conversations) Teacher: Let's take one conversation as an example. "A: I found a wallet on the street. B: You found a wallet?!" Here, the word "wallet" in B's response is stressed, and the intonation rises at the end. What does this imply? Student 18: It implies that B is really surprised. They can't believe that A found a wallet. Teacher: Exactly. The stress and the rising intonation help convey the emotion of surprise. Now, let's practice this conversation in pairs. One person be A and the other be B, and try to use the correct stress and intonation. (Students practice the conversation in pairs) Teacher: That's all for today's class. We've learned a lot about the value of money through the story of Chen Liyan, and we've also practiced our listening and speaking skills, especially in terms of understanding intonation. For homework, I want you to write a short paragraph about what you learned from today's class. You can include your thoughts on the value of money, what you learned from the news story, or anything related to our speaking and listening activities. See you next class!
