Step I　 Lead-in (1a:P52)

T: Have you ever been to the Great Wall?

S1: Yes, I have been to.

S2: No, I have never been to.

T: I have been to the Great Wall. Last summer I visited it. I like the Great Wall very much. Besides, I would like to visit the Summer Palace. How about you?

S3: I’d like to visit Qingdao next summer vacation.

S4: I would like to pay a visit to Xi’an.

T: I’d like to visit the Summer Palace, because it’s exciting.

Write the word “exciting” on the blackboard.　

T: Do you know what this word really means? Can you think of something else that is exciting? I will give you some clues. For example, it was an exciting day when I went swimming with my friends.

S5: Yes, I guess it means something that makes us happy. We can say that collecting stamps, going swimming and going shopping are all exciting.

T: Good. That’s right. Do you know which words have the opposite meaning?

S6: “Boring” is just the opposite of “exciting”, I think.

T: Yes, Good. Can you make a sentence with these two words?

S6: Yes, let me try. Having a vacation is exciting while playing chess is boring.

T: You did a good job. Can you give me some words to describe a vacation?　

Then list the words “tiring”, “educational”, “peaceful”, “relaxing”, “thrilling” and “fascinating” on the blackboard.

...

T: Most of you have been to different places for your vacations. Some places are relaxing, while some may be thrilling and dangerous, so we must be careful on our trip. Now please open your books to page 52 and look at the posters in the picture, what can you see in the posters?

S7: In the first poster I can see a beach and a man lying on it.

T: Can you read the words?

S7: Yes. Take it easy on a Florida Beach!

T: Then if you are asked to give a brief description of the beach, which words would you like to use?

S7: I think the beach is fascinating, peaceful and exciting.

T: Very good, sit down. And who would like to say something about the second poster?

S8: Let me try. In the second poster we can see a man holding a knife. This is a poster for a travel to Brazil. I think trekking through the Amazon jungle is dangerous and thrilling, but at the same time, it is exciting.

Step II　 Listening (1b: P52)

Ask the Ss what they should do before listening.

T: What should you do if you are going to do some listening practice?

S9: I think we should know, first, what we are asked to do.

T: Then what you are asked to do according to the instruction in 1b?

S10: To fill in the chart with the places that Sam and Gina would like to go to on vacation and the reasons.

T: Good. From the chart we can see Sam wants to go to Brazil because he likes exciting vacations. Do you know where Gina wants to visit? And why? What’s more, sometimes you’d better write some key words on the paper while you are listening.

Ask the Ss to listen to the tape, finish the ex. and then check the answers.

Step III　 Pairwork (1c: P52)

T: Now please work in pairs. Suppose you two are the persons in the picture in 1a. Make conversations to tell your partners the place you would like to visit, the Florida beach or the Amazon jungle of Brazil? Why?

Sample dialogue 1:

S1: Where would you like to visit on vacation?

S2: I’d like to trek through the jungle. I think it must be very exciting to trek through the jungle, though it is to some extent dangerous and thrilling. What about you?

S1: I would like to enjoy sunlight on the Florida beach. I like sunlight very much. Also I love the peace and beauty of the beach.

Sample dialogue 2:

S1: Where would you like to go on vacation?

S2: I would like to visit the Florida beach to relax myself. I can enjoy the sunshine on the beach, which is good for my health. What about you？

S1: I would like to go to the Amazon jungle of Brazil. I learn from the TV program it is mysterious although it is full of danger. I like going on an expedition.
