It was first sung at the 1896 Games. The IOC adopted it as the official Olympic anthem to crown olympic ceremonies at the 1958 IOC Session in Tokyo.The Olympic MottoThe Olympic motto “swifter, higher, stronger”comes from three Latin words”citus, altius, fortius”, which actually mean”faster, higher, braver”. The French educator, Baron Rerre de Coubertin, who revived the ancient Olympic Games and in 1896 led the first modern 01ympic Games in Athens, borrowed the phrase from a Dominican priest Henri Dinon. Mr.Dinon introduced these words while presenting athletic prizes at a college in 1891.But how did these words become the motto of the Olympic Games? It was Michel Breal who introduced this phrase at the closing dinner of the congress for the reestablishment of the modern Olympic Games on June 23,ter, the International Olympic Committee formally adopted this phrase as the official motto of the Games. The Olympic CreedThe Olympic creed was also introduced at the 1896 Games. As stated by Pierre de Coubertin, the creed is as follows:”The most important thi ng in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.”The Olympic FlagIt was Pierre de Coubertin who conceived the idea of the Olympic flag with five coloured interlocking rings on a white backround. The rings represent the union of the five continents and the meeting of the athletes from all around the world at the Olympic Games.Today, almost a century after the flag’s creation, the six colours, those of the rings (blue, yellow, black, green, red) and that of the white background which stands for peace, still maintain their symbolism and can be found in flags across the world. The Olympic flag was first used during the Antwerp Games in 1920.The Olympic Oath“In the name of all the competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glo ry of sport and the honour of our teams.”At the opening Ceremony of each Games, one athlete from the host country takes Olympic oath on behalf of all competing athletes. This particular gesture of sports-manship was introduced at the 1920 Games in Antwerp, Belgium. A coach or team official takes a similar oath at each Opening Ceremony.The Olympic FlameThe Olympic flame is one of the most visible symbols of the modern Games. Its tradition has survived from the Games of ancient Greece, where a sacred flame, ignited by the sun, burned continually on the altar of the goddess Hera.The modern Olympic flame was first lit in 1928 at the Amsterdam Olympic Games, where it burned throughout the competitions. It has become a major symbol for solidarity among nations and embodies the Olympic spirit encompassing the ideals of purity, the endeavour for perfection, the struggle for victory, friendship and peace.The Torch RelayDuring the 1896 Games in Athens, young inspired sportsmen had organised the first torch relays. However, the tradition of the Olympic torch officially began at the Berlin Games in 1936. As in ancient times, the torch is lit by the sun in Ancient Olympia, then passed from runner to runner in a relay to the host city, where it is used to light the Olympic Stadium’s flame during the Games’ Opening Ceremony. The flame then burns until it is extinguished at the Closing Ceremony.Section 3: Words and expressions from unit 2 THE OLYMPIC GAMEShonestadj. 1. not disposed to cheat or defraud; not deceptive or fraudulent: honest lawyers2. marked by truth: give honest answers3. without pretensions: worked at an honest trade4. without dissimulation; frank: my honest opinion5. habitually speaking the truth: an honest man6. worthy of being depended on: an honest working staff 7. free from guile: His answer was simple and honestancientadj. 1. very old: an ancient mariner 2. in or of times long ago: ancient Rome and Greece 3. havingexisted since a very early time: ancient history/customscompetev.to try to win sth. in competition with someone else: John competed for a place at their school, but didn’t get it. compete for something; engage in a contest; measure oneself against others medaln.an award for winning a championship or commemorating some other eventhostn. a man who receives guests: He acted as host to his father’s friends.

Do you know anything about them？You can simply guess. Yes，Lucy，try …III. Reading1. Reading aloud to the recording and finding the general ideaNow please listen and read aloud to the recording of the text AN INTERVIEW. Pay attentionto the pronunciation and intonation as well as the pauses within each sentence. Then try to get the general idea of the passage. Have you got the main idea？Yes，it tells us the differences and the similarities between the ancient and modern Olympics.2. Reading and actingNow let’s play the parts of the Greek writer Pausanias and the Chinese girl Li Li. Now boys，you are Pausanias；girls，you are Li Li. Please pay attention to the bold words.3. Reading and findingNow read the text again. The boys shall try to finish the task: What was the ancient Olympics like？The girls shall try to finish the task: What is the modern Olympics like？4. Reading and collecting informationOk，now let’s read it silently. First let’s talk about the same points between the ancient and modern Olympics. Who can answer？Any volunteers？Then let’s come to the differences.5. Reading and underliningNext you are to read and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in the passage. Copy them to your notebook after class as homework.ⅣClosing downClosing down by doing exerciseTo end the lesson you are to do the comprehending exercises 1 & 2.Closing down by discussingYou know our government has tried its best to compete for hosting the 29th Olympic Games. It has cost a lot of money. Do you think it is worthwhile？Why？Closing by imaginingImagine what we will do and what we can do for the 29th Olympic Games now.Closing down by narratingWe can see the text is written in a conversational style. And there are two speakers. One is Pausanias，a Greek writer 2000 years ago，the other is Li Li，a Chinese girl. Now let’s change it into a narrative style. In other words，let’s describe the ancient and modern Olympic Games in our own words. Who would like to have a try？Closing down by summarizingAs we have finished the passage we’ll sum up what we have learned. First let’s see the writing skills. It is written in a conversational style. It’s in a very interesting way. It adopts a dialogue between Pausanias who lived 2000 years ago and a Chinese gird in modern world. Through their dialogue，the differences and similarities between the ancient and modern Olympic Games are made known to the readers. Just because it is in a conversational style，there are quite a few oral spoken English and elliptical phrases.Through the comparison between the ancient and modern Olympic Games，we have learned the differences and the similarities between them. Now we can have a deep understanding of the Games. From the passage，we can have a deep understanding of the Games. From the passage，we can also get to know that the Olympic Games are developing and improving. It’s our duty to make the Olympic Games better and healthier. We know that one of the slogans for 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is Green Olympic Games. It shows that people are paying more and more attention to our environment.Period 2: A lesson plan for Learning about Language(The Future Passive V oice)Aims：To learn about future passive voiceTo discover useful words and expressionsTo learn the methods of words formationProceduresI. Warming upWarming up by dictatingThere are several important sentences in this unit. Let’s dictate them. If you can’t，learn them by heart after class.①When and where will the next Olympic Games be held？②I live in what you call “Ancient Greece” and / used to write about the Olympic Games more than 2000 years ago.③All countries can take part if they reach the standard to be admitted to the games.④The next Olympic Games will be held in my hometown.⑤It is just as much a competition among countries to host the Olympics as to win an Olympic medal.Warming up by discovering useful words and expressionsTurn to page 11 and do exercises 1，2，3 and 5 first. Check your answers against your classmates’.II. Learning about word formation1. Do exercise 4 and discover the rules.Turn to page 12 and find out the rules of word formation.By adding -ing to a verb，we can change the verb into a noun.That means we can change “doing some sport” into “the name of the sport”.By adding -er to a verb，we can change the verb into a noun. That means we can change “doing some sport” into “the person who does the sport”.2. Means of word-formation in generalAffixation，conversion，and composition (or compounding) are the chief means of word-formation in English. Besides these，there are also other minor ways of word-formation including clipping，acronymy，blending etc.III. Learning about Present Future Passive V oiceTurn to page 13 and do exercise 3. And tell the class the formation of present future passive voice.ⅣClosing down by summarizing1.Present future passive voice (take “ask” for example)2.The passive V oice of phrasal verbGenerally speaking，only transitive verbs can form the passive voice，for only transitive verbs can be followed by objects. But many intransitive verbs together with some prepositions and adverbs can be used as transitive verbs. So they can also be followed by the objects. Therefore they can also be used in passive voice.But note that all the phrasal verbs are used as a whole. When using them in passive voice，we cannot drop out the prepositions and adverbs. For examples:At last they put out the fire. At last the fire was put out.They will put up a notice on the wall. A notice will be put up on the wall.Have you sent for a doctor？Has the doctor been sent for？I have never heard of such a thing before. Such a thing has never been heard of before.We must take good care of the children here. The children must be taken good care of here.His classmates laughed at him for the foolish mistake. He was laughed at for the foolish mistake by his classmates.Period 3: A lesson plan for using languageAims:To read about the ancient Olympic GamesTo listen and talk about hobbiesTo write about hobbiesProcedures1. Warming upWarming up by introducingHi！Class. You know Greece is the world-known country with an ancient civilization. It has a long history with so much marvelous culture. The Greeks had wonderful stories about the Gods and Goddnesses who were part of their religion. They believed that these god or goddesses would help humans if they felt sorry for them or if the humans were good people. However，the Gods did not always help. They behaved like people who were unpredictable and capricious. To try to get the support of the Gods people had to pray to them and offer them present. In this story the Goddess Hera，the wife of the chief God，Zeus was sorry for Hippomenes and agreed to help him.Warming up by sharingNow，boys and girls. Is there anybody who can tell us some Greek mythology. You know they are so famous in human history. Or can you speak out some names of Greek Gods and Goddesses.Ⅱ. Guided reading1.

It was first sung at the 1896 Games. The IOC adopted it as the official Olympic anthem to crown olympic ceremonies at the 1958 IOC Session in Tokyo.The Olympic MottoThe Olympic motto “swifter，higher，stronger”comes from three Latin words”citus，altius，fortius”，which actually mean”faster，higher，braver”. The French educator，Baron Rerre de Coubertin，who revived the ancient Olympic Games and in 1896 led the first modern 01ympic Games in Athens，borrowed the phrase from a Dominican priest Henri Dinon. Mr.Dinon introduced these words while presenting athletic prizes at a college in 1891.But how did these words become the motto of the Olympic Games？It was Michel Breal who introduced this phrase at the closing dinner of the congress for the reestablishment of the modern Olympic Games on June 23，ter，the International Olympic Committee formally adopted this phrase as the official motto of the Games.The Olympic CreedThe Olympic creed was also introduced at the 1896 Games. As stated by Pierre de Coubertin，the creed is as follows:”The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part，just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.”The Olympic FlagIt was Pierre de Coubertin who conceived the idea of the Olympic flag with five coloured interlocking rings on a white backround. The rings represent the union of the five continents and the meeting of the athletes from all around the world at the Olympic Games.Today，almost a century after the flag’s creation，the six colours，those of the rings (blue，yellow，black，green，red) and that of the white background which stands for peace，still maintain their symbolism and can be found in flags across the world. The Olympic flag was first used during the Antwerp Games in 1920.The Olympic Oath“In t he name of all the competitors，I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games，respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them，in the true spirit of sportsmanship，for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams.”At the opening Ceremony of each Games，one athlete from the host country takes Olympic oath on behalf of all competing athletes. This particular gesture of sports-manship was introduced at the 1920 Games in Antwerp，Belgium. A coach or team official takes a similar oath at each Opening Ceremony.The Olympic FlameThe Olympic flame is one of the most visible symbols of the modern Games. Its tradition has survived from the Games of ancient Greece，where a sacred flame，ignited by the sun，burned continually on the altar of the goddess Hera.The modern Olympic flame was first lit in 1928 at the Amsterdam Olympic Games，where it burned throughout the competitions. It has become a major symbol for solidarity among nations and embodies the Olympic spirit encompassing the ideals of purity，the endeavour for perfection，the struggle for victory，friendship and peace.The Torch RelayDuring the 1896 Games in Athens，young inspired sportsmen had organised the first torch relays. However，the tradition of the Olympic torch officially began at the Berlin Games in 1936. As in ancient times，the torch is lit by the sun in Ancient Olympia，then passed from runner to runner in a relay to the host city，where it is used to light the Olympic Stadium’s flame during the Games’ Opening Ceremony. Th e flame then burns until it is extinguished at the Closing Ceremony.Section 3: Words and expressions from unit 2 THE OL YMPIC GAMEShonestadj. 1. not disposed to cheat or defraud；not deceptive or fraudulent: honest lawyers 2. marked by truth: give honest answers 3. without pretensions: worked at an honest trade 4. without dissimulation；frank: my honest opinion 5. habitually speaking the truth: an honest man 6. worthy of being depended on: an honest working staff 7. free from guile: His answer was simple and honestancientadj. 1. very old: an ancient mariner 2. in or of times long ago: ancient Rome and Greece 3. having existed since a very early time: ancient history/customscompetev. to try to win sth. in competition with someone else: John competed for a place at their school，but didn’t get it. compete for something；engage in a contest；measure oneself against othersmedaln. an award for winning a championship or commemorating some other eventhostn. a man who receives guests: He acted as host to his father’s friends.
