The next sentence?S:The correct sentence should be Charlies nonverbal humour often makes people burst with laughter.T:Quite right.Sentence 5?S:I will correct the sentence like this We are all fond of Charlies early films,which we think are more interesting.T:The sixth sentence?S:Im not sure whether this sentence should be I missed seeing the beginning of the film City Lights the other day.T:You are right.The last two sentences are quite easy.Who would like to tell us the correct sentences?S:Let me try.The correct sentences should be I wouldnt mind seeing the Gold Rush again with you tonight,and Charlies job was entertaining people,wasnt he?T:Good job.Now,lets turn to Exercise 2 on Page 57.Who would like to do the first and the second one?Volunteers!S:Id like to.The student using a computer finds it very enjoyable to surf the Internet as she is so interested in getting news and knowledge that is going on in the world.The girl playing the piano believes it is great fun and the most important thing in her life to play the piano or the guitar.S:Let me do the next two sentences.The girl wearing earphones tell us that it is pleasant for her to listen to music as it not only relaxes her but also makes her feel good.The girl taking pictures says that she likes taking pictures because she likes to record happy memories.S:Ill finish the last two sentences.The student holding a badminton racket holds the view that playing badminton is not only a good hobby but also good for health.The girl student reading a book points out that reading books is great fun.T:Very good.I believe the answer to each sentence is not only one or two.There must be other answers too.In fact this exercise not only helps us practice the usage of the -ing form as the attribute,it also shows us some other usage of the -ing form.For example in the fifth sentence “playing badminton”is used as the subject.In the fourth sentence “taking picture” is used as the object.As time is limited,we have to stop here,and move on to the listening.Step 2 Listening on Page 23T:Lets listen to a funny story.In the story Mary made some plum jam and left some in the pan.Five days later,her husband came home and poured the jam into the chicken yard.Later Mary came home and found all her chickens were behaving strangely.What do you suppose has happened to the chickens？S:I guess the chickens were all drunken after eating the jam.T:Good guessing!We have two chances to listen to the story,and then you will know if your guessing is right or not.First,please go through Exercises I & 2 to know what are the things well do when we are listening.After that Ill play the tape for you to finish Exercise l.The second listening is for you to check your answers.After that we will finish Exercise 2.Are you clear?Ss:Yes.T:OK,here we go.After the first listening.T:Congratulations,Peter!Your guessing is right.Lets check the answers to Exercise 1.The correct answers should be.?Ss:C;B;B.T:Youve got them right.Lets listen to the story again.After that we will finish Exercise 2.After the second listening.T:Do you find this story funny?S:I think the story is very funny;because we often find people drunk,never found chicken will be drunk.S:It sounds interesting that jam can turn into wine within five days!S:I find that the last sentence is really funny.The writer even asked whether anyone knew what to do with drunk chickens.T:Good answers.I think all of you have sense of humour.Now lets go to Question 2:What do you think of Johns behavior?S:He was careless.He even didnt think anything,when he poured the jam into the chickens garden.S:I think his behavior showed that he treasured food,and also he liked his chickens.And because of this,he let his chickens drunk.T:Your answers are very interesting.Step 3 Listening on Page 55T:Now let turn to Page 55,and have another listening.This is another very interesting story about a thief and a man.First Id like to ask you what you would do if you find a thief in your homes one day?S:Ill try to frighten him away by making some sound.S:Ill slide out of the house and call for a policeman.T:It seems that you know what you will do to deal with such incidents.But what will the man do when he finds that a thief in his home?After listening,you will know that.But first lets read the questions to make sure that you know what should do in this listening.Next,Ill play the tape for the first time to help you finish Exercise 1.Then play the tape again and help you finish the questions in Exercise 2.After that,well check the answers together.Clear?Ss:Yes.T:OK,lets start.After the first listening.T:Now you know what the man did when he found a thief in his home!Who would like to tell us the word you hear?Ss:The words we heard are “thief;potatoes;midnight;shirt;spread;and quiet”.T:Are your answers the same with his?Lets listen to the story once again.After that we will finish the questions in Exercise 2.After the second listening.T:Now you will be given a few minutes to write down your answers,and check them with your partners.T:1.Where did Peter get the potatoes?S:He got the potatoes from his friend.T:2.Why didnt Peter want to get up when the thief was in his house?S:He thought the thief might have a knife and he did not want to make him angry.T:3.Why couldnt the thief take away the potatoes?S:He didnt have a bag to carry the potatoes in.T:4.How did Peter stop the man stealing the potatoes?S:He removed the shirt that the thief had planned to put the potatoes in.T:5.Why was the thief angry?S:He thought the husband had stolen his shirt so he could no longer steal the potatoes.T:6.What do you think Peter did next?Ss:I think he gave the shirt back to the thief as he thought,perhaps,he was also very poor.If not he would not have come to steal potatoes.T:You have really have done a good job in listening!How time flies!It is almost time for a break.We have to leave out the listening task.Step 4
