Then present your stories to the class. The Time Traveller stops in the year 802701. The whole earth looks like a garden with beautiful, happy people called Eloi who play all the time, but this hides a horrible truth: there is a whole world of people called Morlocks who live underground in a dark, mechanised society who use the Eloi as a source of food. The Time Traveller meets an Eloi woman and falls in love with her. The Time Traveller and the Eloi woman are attacked by Morlocks. He is able to escape, but he loses contact with the woman and perhaps she is killed. The Morlocks then steal the Time Machine and use it as bait to capture and kill the Time Traveller. However, once he is in the Time Machine, he pulls the lever and begins to travel in time again and is able to make his escape. He travels 30 million years into the future to see the sun cool and the earth turn into a lifeless planet. He then travels back to the time from where he started out, only to find that three hours have passed. 20 Discuss and think. （1）Discuss your time travel plans with your partners. Then try to tell your partners what the plans are like. （2）Think over your group’s own descriptions. ①Group A—外形组: a huge round metal machine with many devices,... ②Group O—操作组: gave it a last check, sat myself in the leather seat, pushed the starting lever, forwards an inch then immediately backwards again, drew a deep breath,... ③Group E—经历组: night came, came the day, skipped to day, trees growing like puffs of smoke, huge buildings rise up, the whole surface of the earth was being changed, melting and flowing before my eyes, ... ④Group F—感受组: moved like a rocket, strange and unpleasant, I calculated..., I had a strong urge to..., I had thought about the risk..., I was stunned for a moment,... 21 Step III 迁移创新 Imagine and write your own story about a time machine you will invent, and your journey through time.

Use the story and the guide in Activity 5 to help you. 示例范文: After doing research for one year, I invented a time machine, which is shaped like a star with three automatic doors, through which I can go in and out freely. It is so magical that it works just by reading my mind and doesn’t consume any energy, taking me to the places of my dreams. One day, the moment I thought of Harry Potter, in no time did I meet my best-loved boy wizard at his magic school. Soon we developed close ties, experienced adventures together and confronted with the evil wizards heroically. This thrilling experience taught me that friendship was the light in the soul that changed hardship into hope and fear into bravery. Without my time machine, I couldn’t have had such a unique experience. 24 Exchange your draft with your partner and use the checklist to help you review your partner’s draft. √ Is the story clear? √ Does the writer include all the important points about the story? √ Does the writer provide any additional information about the journey? √ Does the writer use the proper tense? √ Does the writer use correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling? 25 谢谢观看 Thank you Lavf58.20.100 $
