●Word power

This section deals with words and expressions related to school facilities. Familiarize

yourselves with the school facilities and review expressions of asking and answering

the way. Parts A and B involve activities that aim to activate your relative prior

knowledge. Part C is designed to reinforce the vocabulary involved in Parts A and B.

Part D aims to expand and evaluate your vocabulary by doing a matching exercise.

Not only you’re to expand your related vocabulary but also to apply them in practical

usage.

Step 1: Brainstorming

1. Thinking about the following topic:

School plays an important part in children’s growing-up. When you finished your word

2 / 4 junior study, your parents and you all had a careful and thoughtful consideration

about which senior high school suited you best or which senior high school could

give you the best education and provide the best environment. So can you tell me

which aspect or factor attracts you most and causes you to study here? (The teacher

encourages students to express genuinely about their choices.)

2.Recalling the first day to school

Do you still remember the first day you came to this school? How did you find your

way around?

Usually, if you don’t know your way, what will you do? Do you ask others for help?

Now think about the patterns you learned in junior high.

Excuse me, can you tell me the way to...?

Excuse me, which is the nearest way to...?

Excuse me, how can I get to/arrive at/reach... ?

Turn right/left, and walk straight on.

At the end of the first/second crossing, you will find it on your right/left.

You can’t miss it.

Walk towards/past…and then walk between..., and you will find…at the

end of the road.

3. Dealing with the map

Focus on the map first and familiarize yourselves with each building. Now read Wei

Hua’s thoughts carefully and mark her routes on the map. Pay attention to Wei Hua’s

expressions and try to learn the usage of these phrases.

Step2: Vocabulary learning

1. Dealing with B

Deal with Part B individually according to the instructions and write a description of

the quickest way to get from the dormitories to Classroom 4. Then report your

answers to the class. word

3 / 4 Sample answers

If you are standing at the door of the dormiories, first turn right and go

past the medical centre and the gym, then turn left and walk until the end

of the road. Classroom 4 is on your left.

(If possible, the teacher can design some similar exercises to the one

above for students to practise. For example, the teacher can ask students

to mark the shortest way from the science laboratory to Classrooms

16-25. This exercise aims to help students to use proper expressions while

finding the way.)

2. Dealing with A and B for homework

Deal with Part A on page 85 in Workbook. After reading the letter, you will know

how to write a note to indicate the way to somewhere. (Part B as homework)

3. Dealing with C

Read Part C and plete it. You’d better consult each other or the dictionary whenever

you have a problem before consulting me. Then report your answers. Pay attention to

your pronunciation and spelling.

4. Dealing with D

Have ever been to a gym? If not, try to imagine what kinds of equipment are usually

provided in a gym and why gyms are popular nowadays.

( a. The teacher can play some videos for students to watch and meanwhile teach

them how to say these pieces of equipment in English. Then ask students to finish

Part D.

b. If possible, take students to a gym to have the lesson. While teaching, the teacher

can invite students to do some performances on the equipment and meanwhile the

teacher instructs students in English how to use this equipment.

c. Ask students to discuss the following questions: Do you think having a gym is an

important factor for students when choosing a school? Why are more and more key

schools spending a large amount of money in improving their school facilities? Do

you think it is necessary for all schools to have this kind of equipment?)
