Today, we are going to have a special class, which is the assessing your progress part of Unit 1 People of Achievement. In this unit, we have learned about some remarkable people like Tu Youyou and Albert Einstein. Now it's time to see how well you have grasped the knowledge and skills we've covered. So, are you all ready to show what you've learned? Review of Key Vocabulary T: First of all, let's start with a quick review of the key vocabulary. We have learned many words and phrases that are useful for describing people of achievement. For example, who can tell me a phrase we can use to describe someone's strong desire for knowledge? S: Have a passion for knowledge. T: Exactly! Very good. And what about a word to describe someone who never gives up easily? S: Persistent. T: Great! Now, let's look at some sentences. I will give you a sentence with a blank, and you need to fill in the blank with the correct word or phrase we learned in this unit. Here is the first one: "Tu Youyou is ____ as one of the greatest scientists in the field of medicine." S: Acknowledged. T: Perfect! Now, let's move on to the next one. "Albert Einstein made numerous ____ to the field of physics." S: Contributions. T: Right! You all seem to have a good memory of these words and phrases. These vocabulary items are not only important for understanding the texts in this unit but also very useful for your writing and speaking when you talk about great people. Grammar Focus - Attributive Clauses T: Next, let's focus on the grammar we learned in this unit - attributive clauses. Attributive clauses are very helpful in adding more details to describe people or things. Remember, an attributive clause usually comes after the noun it modifies. Let's look at an example from our text about Albert Einstein: "Albert Einstein, who is perhaps the greatest scientist in modern physics, is often considered one of the smartest men who ever lived." Here, the clause "who is perhaps the greatest scientist in modern physics" is an attributive clause modifying "Albert Einstein", and "who ever lived" is an attributive clause modifying "men". Now, I will give you a sentence, and you need to rewrite it using an attributive clause. The original sentence is: "The scientist discovered a new treatment for malaria. He is from China." S: The scientist who discovered a new treatment for malaria is from China. T: Excellent! That's exactly right. Now, let's try another one. "The woman is a committed teacher. She has helped many students." S: The woman who has helped many students is a committed teacher. T: Well done! Understanding and using attributive clauses correctly can make your language more vivid and accurate. It can also help you better express your ideas when writing about people of achievement. Reading Comprehension Review T: Now, let's turn to reading comprehension. In this unit, we read two main texts - one about Tu Youyou and the other about Albert Einstein. Let's recall some important details. For the text about Tu Youyou, who can tell me when she started her research on malaria? S: In 1967. T: Correct! And what difficulties did she and her team face during the research? S: They had to review a large number of ancient medical texts, test many plants, and the initial attempts to extract the effective ingredient from sweet wormwood didn't work. T: Very good. You really understand the text well. Now, for the text about Albert Einstein, can you tell me why he was unable to enter university in Switzerland at first? S: Because of his low scores in the general part of the entrance exam, although he got exceptional scores in maths and physics. T: Right. These details are important for us to understand the life and achievements of these great people. Reading comprehension is not just about getting the answers to the questions in the exercises but also about truly understanding the stories and the people behind them. It helps us learn from their experiences and qualities. Speaking Activity T: Next, we are going to have a speaking activity. I will divide you into pairs. Each pair needs to choose a person of achievement, it can be someone we learned in this unit or someone else you know, and then talk about this person. You should use the vocabulary and grammar we have reviewed, especially attributive clauses. You can talk about the person's background, achievements, and the difficulties they overcame. I will give you about 5 minutes to prepare, and then some pairs will be invited to share your conversations with the class. So, start now. (After 5 minutes) T: Time's up. Now, let's invite some pairs to come to the front and share. Which pair would like to go first? Pair 1: S1: We chose Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison, who is one of the most famous inventors in the world, made a lot of important inventions. S2: Yes, for example, he invented the light bulb, which changed the way people live. He faced many difficulties during his experiments. He failed thousands of times before he finally succeeded in inventing the practical light bulb. T: Very good! You used attributive clauses very well and clearly introduced Edison's achievements and difficulties. Let's give them a round of applause. Now, which pair wants to share next? (Another pair shares) T: Great job, everyone! Through this speaking activity, you have practiced using the language we learned in a practical context. It also helps you better understand and appreciate the efforts and achievements of different people of achievement. Writing Practice T: Now, it's time for writing. In this unit, we have learned how to write about people of achievement. You need to write a short passage about a person you admire. You should include the following aspects: the person's basic information, their achievements, the difficulties they faced, and what you can learn from them. Remember to use the vocabulary, grammar, and the writing skills we have learned in this unit. You can take about 15 minutes to write. If you have any questions, you can raise your hands at any time. (After 15 minutes) T: Time's up. Now, let's stop writing. I will ask some of you to read your passages aloud. Who would like to start? S: I wrote about Stephen Hawking. Stephen Hawking, who was a world - famous physicist, made significant contributions to the understanding of black holes and the universe. He faced great difficulties because he suffered from a serious disease that gradually paralyzed his body. However, he never gave up his research. From him, I learned that no matter how many difficulties we face, we should never lose our passion for learning and our determination to achieve our goals. T: Wonderful! Your passage is well - organized and you expressed your ideas clearly. You also used attributive clauses appropriately. Now, let's ask another student to read. (Another student reads) T: Very good, everyone. After reading your passages, I can see that you have a good understanding of how to write about people of achievement. Keep practicing your writing, and you will get better and better. Summary and Conclusion T: OK, class. Today, we have reviewed the key vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, and also practiced speaking and writing in the context of people of achievement. Through this class, I hope you have not only consolidated the knowledge and skills we learned in this unit but also gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of the great people around the world. Remember, these people of achievement have shown us that with passion, perseverance, and hard work, we can also achieve great things in our lives. That's all for today's class. Thank you, and have a great day! 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 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
