Thank you. Please sit down. Now, please turn to Page 24.Look at “Pre-reading”.You can choose any of the situations to discuss with your partner about the questions. Five minutes later, Ill ask some of you to describe what would you do in any of the situations, using temporal markers such as FirstNext Then and Finally. Are you clear?Ss: Yes.Samples:Flood: You are in the classroom.We had been practicing our English lessons when our headmaster used the Intercom to tell all the students that the river was flooding our village. First, we all ran out of the classroom. Next, we started climbing to the roof of the school building. Then, we waited for a team of soldiers to come in boats and bring us to a safe place. Finally, I found my parents and was happy we were all saved.Earthquake: You are sleeping in your bedroom.I had been sleeping for a few hours when I heard some dogs in the yard. First, I heard a strange noise as if a train was passing under our house. Next, I got up and ran out of the house with my father, mother and my grandmother. Then everything started shaking and we saw some houses falling down. Finally, everything became very quiet and we all held each other, happy that it was over.Typhoon: You are riding a bicycle on the road.I was cycling home after school with my classmates on a hot summer day. First, we saw the tree tops moving and sticks and leaves were swept up in the air. Next, we cycled as fast as we could hear and see the black typhoon. It looked like the nose of an elephant coming towards us, sucking up cars and destroying houses, and it made the sound of a thousand roaring lions. Finally it passed over our heads as we held each other sitting under the bridge.Fire: You are shopping in a supermarket.I was in the supermarket to buy a big bottle of Sprite when the fire started. First, I smelled something, like burning paper. Next, everybody started running to get out. Then, I saw a little girl who was crying. Finally, I took her in my arms and carried her out of the building.FStep .ReadingT: Very good. Now, lets read a passage about a terrible flood. Read it quietly and quickly, and find out the answers to the two questions on the screen. You may check your answers with your partner after you have finished.(Show the following on the screen.)1. What were Floras first two feelings when she turned around and saw the water coming?2. Why was Jeff looking for the chimney?(A few minutes later, the teacher asks some students to say their answers and checks with the whole class.)Suggested answers:1. Floras first two feelings were “surprise” and “wonder”. The sentence “She was so surprised” explicitly states her feeling of surprise. The second sentence does not give an explicit answer as to her feeling. The sentence “she wanted to watch it” is a way of telling that the spectacle fascinates her.2. Jeff was looking for the chimney because that is the strongest part of the house.T: Good. Now, please read the passage again carefully. This time, you should pay attention to some sentences on the screen.(Show the following on the screen.)Work out what the underlined words refer to.1. Before she could move, she heard a great noise, which grew to a terrible roar.2. There she saw a big mass of water that was quickly advancing towards her.3. She wanted to watch it.4. Flora, whose beautiful hair and dress were all cold and wet, started crying.5. For some moments both were silent.(A moment later, teacher checks the answers.)Suggested answers:1. a great noise 2.behind her 3. a wall of water that was quickly advancing towards her4. Floras5. Flora and JeffFStep .Explanation and Further Under-standingT: Well done. Now, please look at the screen.
