Step 1 Introduction

Teacher asks the students totalking about a trip they made to a tourist spot.

Then introduce some common means of transportation, like: bus helicopter, bike and so on.

Now please turn to P21. There are some pictures of different means of transport. I think you know most of them very well. Who’d like to explain the three words on the blackboard? Do you know what kind of vehicles they are? Write the following three words on the blackboard.

helicopter, ferry, tram

Let the Ss look them up in their dictionaries and try to get the meanings.

T: What is a helicopter?

S1: An aircraft with large metal blades on top that spin and lift it into the air.

T: How about ferry?

S2: A boat that makes short regular trips between two or more places. e.g. There is no ferry service to the island in the winter.

T: And tram?

S3: A long narrow vehicle that travels along metal tracks in the middle of a street and is used as public transportation in some places.

Then ask the students to fill in the blanks, and teach them the different ways in which the different vehicles to travel.

Then ask students to make sentences in an interesting story.

Eg: Pan Pan gets on a bus in Ya’an, then gets off the bus in Chengdu.

Step 2 Speaking

The teacher asks the students to describe their first long distance to make them remember the different vehicles and the sentences they made.

e.g. I first traveled a long distance by train when I was six years old.

I went with my parents from Shanghai to Beijing.

Step 3 Reading and Vocabulary

Lead-in

T: As we know, with the development of tourism, travel becomes very convenient and it has become a very important part in people’s life. Many people travel everywhere during the holiday. Today I’ll take you to a beautiful country — Australia.

Show the pictures about Australia on the screen. Ask the Ss to say one or two sentences about Australia. Then ask them some questions about Australia.

T: Show the following questions on the screen:

1. How many people live in Australia?

2. What’s the capital city of Australia?

3. Where do you think most of the People live, in the central part of the country or on the coast?

4. What do you think the central part of the country is like?

5. What Australian animals do you know about?

Sample answers:

1. More than 20 million. Most of Australians live in the six major cities around the coast.

2. The capital city of Australia is Canberra.

3. Because two thirds of the country is dry and desert, most of the people live on the coast.

4. I think there are many farms in the central part of the country, where farmers raise sheep and cattle.

5. In Australia, the most famous animals are kangaroos and koala bears. There are also many varieties of parrots, and over 140 different types of snakes.

T: Then ask students to check the meaning of these words and match some of the words with these definitions, and fill in the blanks with these words.

T: Look at the picture on P23. Where is the train heading? And where does the story take place? Now read the passage quickly and get a general idea about it.

A few minutes later.

T: What’s the passage about?

S1: It’s about Alice’s traveling to the central part of Australia. It was her first ride on a long-distance train. She described her journey and the scenery she saw on the way.

T: You are quite right. Now please read the text again and find the answers to the questions in Activity 4 on P24.

Sample answers:

1. Recently Alice traveled on a long-distance train.

2. Her destination was the central part of Australia.

3. The scenery was not the same during the whole journey. For the first few hundred kilometers of the journey, the scenery was colorful; after that, it was desert; and then they saw abandoned farms which were built long time ago.

4 She read books and listened to her Chinese cassettes while she was on the train.

5. The Australians used camels to travel to the central part of the country.

6. They don’t use camels to deliver goods now. They use railway instead.

T: All of you did a good job. Do you still remember the passage we heard in last period? It was about the man’s first long-distance flight.

Ss: Yes. The man in the passage came across many kinds of bad things on the way to Singapore from the very beginning to the end. When he finally reached the destination, it was l2 hours later. So he felt the journey was very boring.

T: Very good. For today’s reading passage, what did the writer think of her first journey? Did she enjoy herself during the journey?

Ss: The writer’s name is Alice Thompson. She thought her first train ride was wonderful. So she had a good time during the journey.

Post reading

Discussion

In this process, divide the Ss into four groups, one question for two groups. Show the two questions on the screen.

Questions:

1. What sort of people do you think travel on the Ghan train?

2. What kind of towns and villages do you think the train passed?

T: Now, boys and girls, are you ready for discussing the two questions on the screen?

Question 1 for Group 1 and Group 2.

S1: We think young students who are having a holiday travel on the Ghan train. They like traveling on the train. On the one hand, as students, they don’t have enough money. Traveling on a train is much cheaper than traveling on a plane. On the other hand, traveling on a train is relatively safer than traveling on other vehicles.

S2: In our opinion, a group of Chinese tourists travel on the Ghan train. They want to see Australia. On the train they can enjoy the colorful scenery on the way. Besides, traveling on the train is very comfortable and they can also talk to other passengers on the train to improve their spoken English.

T: Very good. Question 2 for Group 3 and Group 4.

S3: We consider that the towns and villages the train passed are wild, because the central part of Australia is desert and there are no people living there.

S4: We don’t agree with them. In our opinion, maybe some villages and towns are abandoned, but these should be in the middle. Alice travels from Sydney, which is on the coast. So there must be prosperous towns and villages on the way.

T: All of you did a good job. Maybe some students have different ideas. That’s OK. You may search on the Internet to get more information after class. Traveling is to experience and to learn more about other parts of the world and people who are leading a quite different life. Tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with great opportunities to see everything all over the world. It has become a lifestyle for some people, and the global travel has put it in the spot light. One day when you have the chance to travel abroad, don’t forget to write a travel note, and share it with your classmates.

Step 4 Grammar

T: Good morning / afternoon, class! Yesterday welearned a passage about My First Ride on a Train. Now I’d like you to retell the passage. Who’d like to have a try?

In this period, we’ll learn a new grammar — the -ed form used as adjective.

The -ed form

1. 单个的过去分词作定语

1) 作前置定语: 这时过去分词的形容词意义强于动词意义。

a. 及物动词的过去分词具有被动和完成意义。 如:

a broken cup 一个破杯子

a wounded soldier一名伤员

b. 不及物动词的过去分词具有主动和完成意义。

a grown woman一位成年妇女

an escaped prisoner一名逃犯

2. 过去分词短语作定语通常后置，其作用相当于定语从句。如:

the color TV set produced last year =the color TV set that were produced last year

去年生产的彩色电视机

a letter written to me by my daughter =a letter that was written to me by my daughter 一封我女儿写给我的信

2) 作后置定语，通常是及物动词的过去分词，这时过去分词意义强于形容词意义。个别单个的过去分词作前置定语或后置定语时, 表达的含义不同。如：

3. 要注意过去分词做定语时动作发生的时间:

1) 发生在谓语动词的动作之前。如:

Is this the book written (that was written) by Henry James?

这是亨利·詹姆斯写的书吗?

2) 表示与句中谓语动词相应的经常性的动作。如：

He was then a professor respected (that was respected) by all the teachers and students of the college.
