Unit 7 Making a LivingObjectivesStudents will be able to:1. understand the main idea (Bill Porter the salesman will never give in) and structure of the text (4parts, 2 flashbacks);2. appreciate the characteristics of journalistic writing;3. grasp the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;4. conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking, and writing activities related to the theme of the unit.Time Allotment1st period2nd period3rd period4th periodPre-reading tasks Cultural notes Text organizationLanguage studyLanguage studyText analysisPost-reading tasksPre-reading Tasks1. Tasks Ss the following questions on the song:— Why does Onetta think it worthwhile to work hard day after day?(People need her; some people care for her; she keeps her integrity by working hard.)— Would you rather have a low paid job that is interesting or a well-paid job that is boring?2. Role play: Classroom salesman1) T lets Ss read the title of Text A, then announces that the class is to do a role-play. Onestudent will act as a salesperson. All other students will act as his / her potential customers. 2) T appoints a student with a relatively advanced level of English to act as the salesperson. He/ She will leave the classroom, think of a product to sell, and plan his / her sales talk. The product should be relevant to campus life.3. T leads in to the text by saying: From the role-play we know the sale of goods is rather a difficult job. It is even more difficult for a handicapped person, like Bill Porter in Text A. (1 minutes)Text Organization and AnalysisParts Paragraphs Time of the Day Main IdeasPart 1Paras 1-7Early morning Preparation for the day’s workPart 2Paras 8-25Mid-morning On his way to workPart 3Paras 26-62day Door-to-door sellingPart 4Para 63-84evening Paper workThis article first appeared in a newspaper; therefore it carries many characteristics of journalistic writing.First of all, a journalist tries to be objective in reporting. As a result, third-person narrative is usually preferred over first-person narrative. Moreover, the Journalist would not make any comments to reveal his / her feelings, but simply give the facts.Secondly, an eye-catching beginning helps lure readers to linger more on the story out of an overwhelming number of stories offered by the day's newspaper. For example, at the beginning ofthis story, we learn that it takes our physically deformed hero great efforts to get up so as to do something important, yet what is this something? We are kept in suspense until the fourth paragraph.Thirdly, the vocabulary is simple, the sentences and paragraphs short, sometimes elliptical (see after-exercise on ellipsis). When need (for emphasis, to list a series of rapidly conducted activities, etc. ) arise, a paragraph is as short as one sentence.Lastly, conversations can be transcribed word for word if they illustrate the theme, like the one in the text between Bill Porter and his indecisive female customer.Cultural NotesSalesmanship: Sales promotion is an element of the marketing process that can close the sale of goods or services to a potential customer by providing the incentive to make a positive purchasing decision. Sales promotion, advertising, and salesmanship are the major techniques used in merchandising products to the public. Salesmanship often takes the form of a face-to-face encounter between the buyer and seller; the presentation is set up to convince customers that the product on sale is essential to their satisfaction. The lack of personal feedback between buyer and seller is sometimes considered a drawback of the advertising approach. Selling by telephone, although it is significantly less effective than personal selling, is still considered an important method of merchandising. In the 1980s, a growing promotional technique involved in-home shopping programs using cable television channels. In recent years with the help of the Internet online shopping is becoming popular.The traveling salesman appeared late in the 19th century both in Europe and in the U.S. The early itinerant peddler carried his goods on his back or on his horse, working his way from a port city through the hinterlands. With the coming of the railroad and the assurance given to sellers by new credit-reporting systems, salesmen with their sample cases moved across the land. Persuasive skill was less important in those days of unsatisfied demand, and orders were readily forth-coming. By 1900, however, with the increasing supply of manufactured goods, buyers became more discriminating in their purchases. Greater attention was given to training the sales force and to providing buyer incentives. The growth of industrialization and urban living led to the development of merchandising as a major business endeavor. The use of sales promotion practices experienced steady growth in the 20th century.The techniques of sales promotion are used both to motivate salespersons to improve their performance and to induce consumers to purchase goods and services. Although sales promotion works most closely with advertising, it is also related to other elements of marketing: production services, packaging, price, and distribution. At the manufacturing and wholesale levels of distribution, the methods used to motivate personnel to meet specific goals usually fall into two categories — sales incentive prizes (such as merchandise, travel, or cash awards) and sales contests. Both are based upon the salesperson reaching an objective above the normal sales quota.Consumer promotions encompass a wide variety of techniques, including sampling of goods or services, store redeemable "money-off” coupons to encourage the trial of products, special price-reduced packages, mail-in premium merchandise offers, cash or coupon refunds by mail, special product packaging, contests, and sweepstakes. During recessionary periods, when the demand for consumer expendable dollars becomes more competitive, there is greater participation in refund, coupon, and premium offers. More than half the households in the U.S. take advantage of some sales promotion offers each year.Sales promotion, now fully recognized as a vital element in the marketing mix, has become a multibillion dollar industry. In recent years, sales promotion expenditures have exceeded monies spent on advertising and there are strong indications that this pattern of growth will continue to maintain its economic edge.Language Study1. linger: 1) spend a long lime doing sth.Examples: My daughter used to linger long over her meal.There will be no time to linger—the press conference will begin in a few minutes.2) stay for a long time, esp. because one does not want to leaveExamples: It is a dreary little town where few people would choose to linger.He was still lingering around the stadium long after the game was over.2. scar: a mark left on the skin by a wound, bum, etc. after it has healedExamples: It’s easy to recognize the little boy because he has a scar on his left arm.The witness told the police that the criminal had a scar on his forehead.vt. leave a scar onExamples: The burns were so severe that he will be scarred for life.Her face was scarred by smallpox.3.

An integral part of the Netherlands, Aruba was a member of the Netherlands Antilles until 1986. Aruba is 30 km (19 mi) long and 8 km (5 mi) wide, and has an area of 190 sq km (73 sq mi). The population of Aruba in 2003 was 70,844, giving the island an overall population density of 367 persons per sq km (951 per sq mi). Oranjestad (1990 population, 20,000) is the capital and main town. Sint Nicolaas, the site of an oil refinery, has a population of 17,000.Until the mid-1980s the refining of Venezuelan oil was the main source of employment in Aruba. In 1984, the petroleum refining industry accounted for 25 percent of the island's gross national product. When the refinery closed in 1985, many Arubans lost their jobs and experienced a drastic reduction in their standard of living. Rehabilitation of the refining industry began in 1989 and in 1993 the refinery's daily output was 140,000 barrels. The island economy now depends mostly on tourism, and service industries related to tourism. Aruba cooperates with the Netherlands Antilles to attract 691,000 visitors annually. Some light industry produces tobacco, beverages, and consumer goods. Aruba's principal port is Oranjestad and the island's international airport is located nearby. The island's unit of currency is the Aruban guilder or gulden (1.79 guilders equal U.S.$1; 2001).In 1986 Aruba became an autonomous and self-governing entity. The official head of government is the Dutch monarch, represented by an appointed governor. The governor is responsible for all external affairs. The prime minister nominates a council of ministers and together they are responsible for the island's internal executive functions. The 21 seats of the legislature, called the Staten, are filled by popularly elected officials. Aruba's judiciary is comprised by the Court of First Instance and a court of appeal. Defense is the responsibility of the Netherlands. TheUniversity of Aruba (1970) is located in Oranjestad.Aruba was inhabited by the Arawak peoples before the arrival of Europeans in the 15th century. Claimed by Spain in 1499, the islands were colonized by the Dutch in 1636. Under the Dutch, the island became a base for the Dutch West India Company. In 1954 Aruba became part of the Netherlands Antilles and beginning in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Aruba began to push for independence. In 1983 it was decided that beginning in 1986, Aruba would receive a separate status from the Netherlands Antilles and that it would be fully independent in 1996. In 1994 Aruba and the Netherlands agreed that Aruba would retain its autonomous status as a part of the Netherlands rather than seek full independence. The advantages of this arrangement outweighed the benefits of full independence and secured for Aruba a separate status from that of the Netherlands Antilles.4) IntroductionThe author tells us that in despair one should have some kind of transition from his old life to a new style.

教师学科教案[ 20 – 20 学年度第__学期]任教学科：_____________任教年级：_____________任教老师：_____________xx市实验学校Unit 7 Making a LivingObjectivesStudents will be able to:1. understand the main idea (Bill Porter the salesman will never give in) and structure of the text (4parts, 2 flashbacks);2. appreciate the characteristics of journalistic writing;3. grasp the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;4. conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking, and writing activities related to the theme of the unit.Time AllotmentPre-reading Tasks1. Tasks Ss the following questions on the song:— Why does Onetta think it worthwhile to work hard day after day?(People need her; some people care for her; she keeps her integrity by working hard.)— Would you rather have a low paid job that is interesting or a well-paid job that is boring? 2. Role play: Classroom salesman1) T lets Ss read the title of Text A, then announces that the class is to do a role-play. Onestudent will act as a salesperson. All other students will act as his / her potential customers. 2) T appoints a student with a relatively advanced level of English to act as the salesperson. He /She will leave the classroom, think of a product to sell, and plan his / her sales talk. The product should be relevant to campus life.3. T leads in to the text by saying: From the role-play we know the sale of goods is rather a difficult job. It is even more difficult for a handicapped person, like Bill Porter in Text A. (1 minutes)This article first appeared in a newspaper; therefore it carries many characteristics of journalistic writing.First of all, a journalist tries to be objective in reporting. As a result, third-person narrative is usually preferred over first-person narrative. Moreover, the Journalist would not make any comments to reveal his / her feelings, but simply give the facts.Secondly, an eye-catching beginning helps lure readers to linger more on the story out of an overwhelming number of stories offered by the day's newspaper. For example, at the beginning of this story, we learn that it takes our physically deformed hero great efforts to get up so as to do something important, yet what is this something? We are kept in suspense until the fourthparagraph.Thirdly, the vocabulary is simple, the sentences and paragraphs short, sometimes elliptical (see after-exercise on ellipsis). When need (for emphasis, to list a series of rapidly conducted activities, etc. ) arise, a paragraph is as short as one sentence.Lastly, conversations can be transcribed word for word if they illustrate the theme, like the one in the text between Bill Porter and his indecisive female customer.Cultural NotesSalesmanship: Sales promotion is an element of the marketing process that can close the sale of goods or services to a potential customer by providing the incentive to make a positive purchasing decision. Sales promotion, advertising, and salesmanship are the major techniques used in merchandising products to the public. Salesmanship often takes the form of a face-to-face encounter between the buyer and seller; the presentation is set up to convince customers that the product on sale is essential to their satisfaction. The lack of personal feedback between buyer and seller is sometimes considered a drawback of the advertising approach. Selling by telephone, although it is significantly less effective than personal selling, is still considered an important method of merchandising. In the 1980s, a growing promotional technique involved in-home shopping programs using cable television channels. In recent years with the help of the Internet online shopping is becoming popular.The traveling salesman appeared late in the 19th century both in Europe and in the U.S. The early itinerant peddler carried his goods on his back or on his horse, working his way from a port city through the hinterlands. With the coming of the railroad and the assurance given to sellers by new credit-reporting systems, salesmen with their sample cases moved across the land. Persuasive skill was less important in those days of unsatisfied demand, and orders were readily forth-coming. By 1900, however, with the increasing supply of manufactured goods, buyers became more discriminating in their purchases. Greater attention was given to training the sales force and to providing buyer incentives. The growth of industrialization and urban living led to the development of merchandising as a major business endeavor. The use of sales promotion practices experienced steady growth in the 20th century.The techniques of sales promotion are used both to motivate salespersons to improve their performance and to induce consumers to purchase goods and services. Although sales promotion works most closely with advertising, it is also related to other elements of marketing: production services, packaging, price, and distribution. At the manufacturing and wholesale levels of distribution, the methods used to motivate personnel to meet specific goals usually fall into two categories —sales incentive prizes (such as merchandise, travel, or cash awards) and sales contests. Both are based upon the salesperson reaching an objective above the normal sales quota.Consumer promotions encompass a wide variety of techniques, including sampling of goods or services, store redeemable "money-off” coupons to encourage the t rial of products, special price-reduced packages, mail-in premium merchandise offers, cash or coupon refunds by mail, special product packaging, contests, and sweepstakes. During recessionary periods, when the demand for consumer expendable dollars becomes more competitive, there is greater participation in refund, coupon, and premium offers. More than half the households in the U.S. take advantage of some sales promotion offers each year.Sales promotion, now fully recognized as a vital element in the marketing mix, has become a multibillion dollar industry. In recent years, sales promotion expenditures have exceeded monies spent on advertising and there are strong indications that this pattern of growth will continue to maintain its economic edge.Language Study1. linger: 1) spend a long lime doing sth.Examples: My daughter used to linger long over her meal.There will be no time to linger—the press conference will begin in a few minutes.2) stay for a long time, esp. because one does not want to leaveExamples: It is a dreary little town where few people would choose to linger.He was still lingering around the stadium long after the game was over.2. scar: a mark left on the skin by a wound, bum, etc. after it has healedExamples: It’s easy to recognize the little boy because he has a scar on his left arm.The witness told the police that the criminal had a scar on his forehead.vt. leave a scar onExamples: The burns were so severe that he will be scarred for life.Her face was scarred by smallpox.3.
