But this is not the whole story: “I love this game” has wider implications. It implies not only that the love of basketball took Jordan to the glory of success but also that interest was the teacher of Jordan. To help the students to see this point, have the students examine these implications , first by doing the “Exploring the Topic” section of the Students Book, and then by trying to answer the following questions:What does “I love this game” mean?If Learning English is a sort of game (in the sense that you compete for the top students or whatever), what would you do for this game?In Text A, a most common sport, the game of basketball, and a famous Chinese basketball player, Yao Ming, are introduced. Ask the students if they know anything about NBA and some famous NBA basketball teams and players. Spend a few minutes on a brief introduction of the NBA, the draft pick, and the 30 teams Text StructureAt the very beginning, the author of the text makes the statement that Yao Ming is a busy guy both on and off the court. Then the author goes on to explain how busy Yao Ming is. Finally, the author ends the text with the implication that Yao Ming sets an example for other young players.
