StepⅠ Greetings

T: Good morning/afternoon, boys and girls!

Ss: Good morning/afternoon, Mr. Chen.

StepⅡ Warming up

Ask the students for their opinions about what kind of persons they are and what qualities and personality they have. T: Would you like to tell me if in your free time most of you prefer to stay with your friends?

Ss: Yes. In our spare time, we would like to stay with our friends.

T: What kind of person would you like to talk to and share your happiness and sorrow with?

S1: A person who knows me well.

S2: A person who shares the same interest with me.

S3: A person who is honest and reliable.

T: Thank you! Good! I think most of the time it is more difficult to know yourself well than to know others. So do you know what kind of person you are and what qualities and personality you have?

A moment later.

T: Li Jing, please. Can you tell us what kind of person you are?

S4: Of course. I’m generous and always ready to help others but sometimes it is easy for me to burst into anger.

T: This is your own opinion. Maybe others have different opinions. If you want to know yourself better, you’d better answer the questions on the screen.

Show the following questions on the screen.

Q1: What criteria do you use to accept people as friends?

Q2: Do you stick with your friends through thick and thin? What is the moment for you to pull out of a friendship?

Q3: What do you do when you are misunderstood by your friends or relatives?

Q4: What would you do if your teacher or parent has been unfair to you?

Q5: What is your definition of a good friend at school? And at work?

Q6: Do you prefer doing things on your own or in a group? Which things do you prefer to do on your own? Which in a group? Why?

Q7: Are you always active in your group work? Why or why not?

A few minutes later, check the answers.

T: OK. Who’d like to answer the first question?

S5: I will accept people who are kind and honest as friends.

S6: In my opinion, a friend should help me whenever I am in trouble.

S7: As far as I see, friends are people with whom you can talk a lot.

T: Good! Sit down, please. Now the second one.

S8: It depends on how kind and honest they are to me. If they are very kind and honest to me, I’ll stick with them through thick and thin.

S9: If my friend is reluctant to help me when I am in trouble, I will pull out of this friendship.

S10: If I find my friend cheats me, I’ll pull out of the friendship.

T: Very good! Next one.

S11: I will explain to them why and how I have done this.

S12: I will not say anything about this. The things that I do later will speak for me. You know, actions speak louder than words.

T: Now who can tell me what you would do if your teacher or parent has been unfair to you?

S13: I will try my best to make him or her realize that this is not right and what he or she has done hurts me.

T: I’m glad to hear that. What is your definition of a good friend at school?

S14: A good friend at school should be a person who shares the same interest with me and helps me not only with my study but also with difficulties in my life.

S15: A good friend at work should be a person who points out my mistakes in my work and gives me help when I am in trouble.

T: Let’s go on to the sixth question. Any volunteer?

S16: I prefer to study on my own because I don’t want others to bother me.

S17: I prefer to study and live in a group because in this way I can get help from others and improve myself soon.

T: OK. The last one: Are you always active in your group work?

S18: I am always active in my group work because I want to get as much training as possible.

S19: I am seldom active in my group work because I’m afraid of making mistakes to put others into trouble.

Step Ⅲ Speaking

Task 1

Tell the students that having the reputation of being honest, responsible and reliable will bring benefits. Then ask the students to discuss the three situations on Page 93 to see if they have the reputation.

T: With the help of the discussion in Warming up, we have been clear about our qualities and personality now. In our life, if we are reliable, responsible and honest, we are more likely to be successful. This is because having the reputation of being honest, responsible and reliable will make other people trust us. As a result, we will be provided many good opportunities which others may not get. These qualities not only make you rise in the eyes of others, but also make you feel better about yourself. But are we really reliable, responsible and honest in our life? There are many situations in which our ability to be honest, responsible and reliable is put to the test. Abandoning our principles is often the cause of damage or destruction of both personal and professional relationships. In groups read about the three situations on Page 93 and discuss how you would act and why.

Give the students several minutes to have a discussion, and then ask a few students to speak out their ideas.

Suggested answers:

Situation 1: I will do my best to persuade my friend to tell the truth to the police. In my view, being honest is very important. If he refuses to do so, I will tell the police the truth. I don’t want others to be misunderstood. Maybe my friend will feel angry with me, but he will understand me later.

Situation 2: First I will find out the people who have the same opinion as mine and also want to point out the mistake but are afraid of being fired. Then I will persuade them to visit the boss with me. In the office, I will point out it is bad for people’s health and if we don’t take proper measures, unfortunate things will probably happen in the near future. As a result, the restaurants will have to be closed. If the boss doesn’t listen to me, I’ll speak out the truth. Because a company or a shop profits from consumers, they should put the interests of the customers in front of anything else.

Situation 3: I’ll tell my classmate that I have to take care of the neighbor’s baby girl. It is not safe to leave her alone in the house. The reason why my neighbor lets me look after the baby is that she trusts me. Being reliable is very important for us. I will go to her home and help her solve the problem the next day. If she can’t wait for a long time, I will go there and solve the problem after the neighbor comes back.

Task 2 (Workbook on Page 227)

T: Now please turn to Page 227 and read a story about Han Xin, a famous general of Han Dynasty. Please read carefully and then answer the questions on Page 228.

A few minutes later, check the answers.

T: OK! Time’s up. Have you finished?

Ss: Yes.

T: Do you know why people remember the story of Han Xin?

S20: From the story, we can find out that Han Xin is a generous and ambitious man. The aim he always carried his sword wasn’t to fight with some bad guys who only knew laughing at others and hadn’t any ambitions. He can stand the shame which common people cannot bear. This has shown that young Han Xin had great ambitions and could ignore little or trivial things. So people often use this story to educate the young and advise they should have great ambitions.

T: You are very good. Then why did Liu Bang ask Han Xin to be one of his generals when he came to power?

S21: Liu Bang had learnt about the story of Han Xin and had had an insight into the character of his. He knew that Han Xin was a person who could do a great deed.

T: Excellent. What makes Han Xin a good character?

S22: I think he has a big dream in his heart. To realize the dream, he can ignore any trivial things, even the things making him shameful. He is so ambitious. We should set him an example.

Step Ⅳ Summary and Homework
