Ask students to work in pairs or in groups, discuss these questions and then share their answers with the whole class.(2). It is not necessary for every student to discuss all the questions, so the teacher may assign one or two questions to each pair or group. (3). The teacher may walk around the classroom and provide assistance when needed.2. Watch the video clip and answer the following questions:Do you agree with the point that the more charming you are as a girl, the more confident you will be in seeking a good job? Do you think its fair to deprive young people of their chances to demonstrate their beauty at an early age? II. Listening Skills (20 minutes)1. Objectives: In this part the student are going to learn how to identify the relationship between the speakers.2. Learning Strategies: Sounding like a father, like a son.3.

He and I share a flat.My granddad still writes to his old friends he was at sea with.We were in the same class together in 1988, werent we?Shes not really a friend, shes just someone I work with.Reference:This is Jack.

(You were a classmate of mine, werent you?)Shes not really a friend, shes just a workmate.4. Group WorkHow many relationships can you find between the people in column A and column B? Useful words best friend, good friend, friend, acquaintance; close colleague, colleague/workmate; lover, steady boy/girlfriend, ex-lover, ex-boy/girlfriend; wife/husband/partner, ex-lover, ex-boy/girlfriend.John Silver: owns a language school for business people in Bath. Worked at the Sun School, Oxford, 1994-1995. Nora Costa: was in GB Olympic swimming team in 1992. Was in same class at school as Ada Brigg. Josh Yates: politician, was married to Eve Cobb 1983-1990. Met Bill Nash a couple of times. Bill Nash: works every day with John Silver. Shared a flat years ago with Eve Cobb. Ada Brigg: was married to Bill Nash 1991-1994. Swam for Britain in 1992 Olympics.

Lorna Fitt: taught at Sun School, Oxford, 1990-1997. Lives with Josh Yates.Reference: John Silver and Lorna Fitt were colleagues in 1994-1995. Josh Yates is Eve Cobbs ex-husband. Eve Cobb is JoshYates ex-wife. Eve Cobb used to be Bill Nashs flatmate. Bill Nash and John Silver are colleagues. Ada Brigg and Nora Costa were Olympic teammates. Ana Wood is Bill Nashs partner. (or vice versa) Nora Costa and Ada Brigg were classmates. Bill Nash and Eve Cobb were flatmates. Bill Nash is Eve Cobbs ex-flatmate. (or vice versa) Fred Parks and Ada Brigg were once acquaintances. 5. Word Tips ex- can be used with or without (informally) another word: Shes my ex. (girlfriend, etc.) Mate is a colloquial word for a good friend. It can also be used in compound nouns to describe a person you share something with, e.g. classmate, shipmate, workmate, flatmate. The stress is on the first word in each case. Workmate is usual in non-professional contexts or in informal contexts; colleague is more common among professional people, and sounds more formal. Fianc/e can still be used for someone you are engaged to, but a lot of people feel it is dated nowadays. You will sometimes see husband-/wife-to-be in journalistic style. English has no universally accepted words for “person I live with but am not married to”, but partner is probably the commonest.III. Listening In听力训练 (30 minutes)1.

Cultural Tip: JeansJeans first became popular in the U.S. during the California Gold Rush of the mid-nineteenth century when a German immigrant, Levi Strauss, started making hard-wearing practical pants from a fabric he brought from Germany. He called the pants Levis. In 2002, the Levis company paid approximately $44,000 for the oldest-known pair of jeans dating back to the 1880s. They were originally owned by a Nevada miner. Five hundred replicas of the pair were made, and they sold at $400 each.IV. Speaking Out口语训练 (50 minutes)1.

In this case, they can refer to the first phrase or sentence in each box of useful expressions. They may or may not fill in the blanks. (2). When the dialog is played the second time, students repeat it one sentence at a time, thus becoming more confident with the expressions. It will be more challenging if students repeat the sentences with some expressions missing, but this may help them remember the expressions better. (3). Then they can role-play the dialog in pairs.Now Your Turn(1). Assign a partner to each student so that students will not always be working with the same partner.(2). If students hesitate about how to start, you can suggest the first sentence by A (or the first sentence by B) in the sample dialog. (3).
