Teaching Aids CAI (business - term animations, preposition - usage slides, research - guide templates). Textbook, worksheets, and “Business Term Cards” (with terms and blank spaces for Chinese translations). V. Teaching Procedures Step 1: Warm - up – Business English Awareness (5 mins) Discuss the THINK ABOUT IT questions: Do you know any business terms in English? (E.g., “I know ‘startup’—a new business.”) Is business English different from everyday English? How? (E.g., “Yes—has special terms like ‘profit margin’; everyday is simpler.”) Share: Invite 3–4 students to share. Write down keywords: business terms, everyday English, differences. Step 2: Pre - reading – Term Prediction & Metaphor Intro (8 mins) Business Term Preview: Present terms (e.g., Buy low, sell high; in the red) and ask students to guess meanings. Explain metaphor: Words used figuratively (e.g., “in the red” → financial loss, not clothing). Prediction: Ask: Why do business people use such terms? To sound professional? To simplify complex ideas? Step 3: Reading – Business Term Interpretation (12 mins) Complete Let’s Do It! 1 (Find Meanings of Business Terms): Answers: Buy low, sell high: Buy at a low price and sell at a high price to make a profit. We’re in the red this month: The business is losing money. I am moving up the ladder: Getting a better job or position at work. I have to beef up my report: Make the report stronger/more impressive. He’s a fat cat: A wealthy (and often overly powerful) person in business. They cook the books: Steal money by falsifying company accounts.

Step 5: Group Project – Business Terms in English & Chinese (15 mins) Task Introduction: Research Template: English Business Term Chinese Equivalent Meaning Explanation Buy low, sell high 低买高卖 Profit from price gaps Guiding Questions: What common business terms exist in Chinese? (E.g., “开源节流” — increase income, reduce expenses) How do their meanings compare to English terms? Group Work: Students research (using Internet/books), fill in the template, and prepare a 3 - minute presentation. The teacher guides term accuracy (e.g., “cook the books” vs. “做假账”). Class Sharing: Groups present terms. Feedback focuses on: Accuracy of translations and meaning explanations. Clarity of cross - cultural comparisons. Step 6: Summary & Homework (5 mins) Summary: Recap business terms, prepositions, and cross - cultural term similarities/differences.
