Teaching procedures and ways教学过程与方式

Step I Revision and lead-in

In this procedure, ask students to talk about the pictures in activity 1.

T: As we know, the custom and traditional life is different in different countries.

Now please look at the pictures in activity 1 on page 98. What can you see?

What are the people doing?

Ask the students to say the words and write them down.

S: In picture 1, there are four people standing around the table. They are having a

meal.

S: In picture 2, there is a man and a woman. They are holding a wedding.

Then ask them to work in pairs and talk about the topics given in activity 2.

T: Look at activity 2. There are some actions. What must we do? What mustn’t we

do? Can you give some advice? Let’s have a discussion in fours again before

reading the passage.

Sample: S: When you greet people, you should first say hello to them and then shake hands

with them. But don’t kiss when you are in England.

S: When we have a tea party in China, we can talk freely and eat anything we like.

And we can have a tea party anytime anywhere.

S: But in England, you can’t have tea after 4:30, and can’t drink coffee or juice.

S: Making noise is impolite in China when having a meal. But in Japan, you’d better

make some noise to show that you like the food.

S: Chinese never have weddings in churches. They have it at home.

Ask some students to have a report in front of the class.

Step II Listening and reading

In this procedure, ask students to listen and read the passage. Make sure they can

match the meaning of the passage.

T: We have just discussed some customs. Let’s come to activity 3 to see if your

report is fit for the true fact. Please listen to the tape with your books closed. After

listening, answer a question: Which ones can you see in the pictures?

Play the tape and check the answers.

Then ask students to read the passage and activities 4 and 6. Check the answers with

the class.

Speaking

Ask students to read the passage carefully again and talk about the differences of

traditional life in England and China.

T: After reading, we learned that there are some differences of traditional life in

England and China. What are the differences? Now work in pairs and have a talk.

Sample dialogue:

S1: What are the differences when people are on the bus in China and England?

S2: When people are on the bus, people in China often chat, but in England, you

mustn’t talk too loudly.

Ask some pairs to work in front of the class.

Step III Writing

In this procedure, ask students to write a passage about what you must,

mustn’t/can’t do in China.

First ask them to write notes using the table in activity 7.

Sample:

You must offer your guests tea.

You mustn’t talk too loudly at table.

You must take a gift with both of your hands.

You mustn’t call the names the elders.

Then ask students to write the passage down.

Sample version:

Advice for visitors: traditional life in China

The Chinese will nod or bow slightly as an initial greeting. Handshakes are also

popular; wait, however, for your Chinese counterpart to initiate the gesture. If you visit a school, theater, or other workplace, it is likely that you will be

greeted with applause as a sign of welcome. In turn, you should respond by

applauding back.

The Chinese do not use their hands when speaking, and will only become

annoyed with a speaker who does.

To summon attention, turn your palm down, waving your fingers toward

yourself.

Use your whole hand rather than your index finger to point.

The Chinese, especially those who are older and in positions of authority,
