Lead-in　 Presentation

T:　 Do you remember in Unit 4 we have learned a horror called “Murder in a Country House”? Ask: Can you tell me the main idea of this film?　 ( A doctor is found dead in his house. People don’t know whether he was killed or he killed himself. )

T: Good. The doctor in this film is victim. If he was killed by someone, that is a murder. And the person who killed the doctor is the murderer. The murderer killed the man, and he broke the law, so his act is a kind of crime, and he is the criminal. If we find a man, but we are not sure whether he is the murderer, we can call him a suspect.

Ask: If there is a murder, who will solve it?　 ( The police.)

T: Yes, a person, especially a police officer, whose job is to examine crimes and catch criminals is a detective(n.). So “ Murder in a Country House” is not only a horror film, but also a film about detective(adj.) stories.　

　 Write down these words on the blackboard, and ask students to read together. Ask students to pay attention the word “detective”( n.&adj.)

　 My mother got along well with all our new neighbours except the man who lived next door. My mother said he didn’t look like a nice man.

　　 One day, when my mother came home from work, she realized that she had lost her new necklace which she had bought the day before. She was very worried. She wondered where she had been just then. She thought that perhaps the man who lived next door had stolen her necklace. We planned to call the police at once. Just then, someone was knocking at the door. It was the young man, our new neighbour. I was shocked that my mother’s necklace was in his hand. He told us that he found it at the doorway. And he thought it must be my mother’s. so he came to return it.

　　 Yes, that’s true. It is the necklace my mother lost. My mother was very thankful. She told our new neighbour that we could be good friends later.
