Unit 1 The world of our senses
●Task Telling a story
Skills building 1: plotting a story
1. In this section we’ll learn about the plot of a story and the three parts,
exposition, complication and resolution that a story usually contains; and
learn what to notice when reading a story; and try to put what you’ve learnt
into practice by putting different parts of a story in the correct order.
Do you like reading stories? What kind of stories do you like reading?
Why? What are the common elements in stories? (Most stories tell what happened,
when and where it happened and who was involved in it.)
There is usually a plot in a story that tells readers what happens to
the character(s) in the story.
2. Read the three points on the top of page 12 in this section to see if you’ll
learn something from it.
*A story usually starts by providing answers to: Who? Where? When? Why?
*In an interesting story, the main character(s) will face a problem or
conflict that needs to be solved.
*The end of the story usually tells how the characters solve their problems.
3. Do Part A
Do it individually first and then we’ll check the answer together.
Ok, we’ve got the orders corrected and can you give the reasons why you put
the paragraphs in such an order? (This is an order in accord with the sequence
of the story.)
4. Please finish Part B by deciding which element each paragraph represents
according to the definitions of exposition, complication and resolution.

Step1: Completing a checking
You are to develop listening skills in this part. Complete a checklist in
Part A first after listening to the teacher, and then answer some questions
in Part B after listening to a conversation.
1. Please read Part A on page 13 to make sure what you are asked to do and
what information you should get when listening to the tape. Complete the
checklist individually, then check your answers with your partners to see
if you have the same answers. Tapescript
Teacher: Remember that you need to write a story for the contest next week.
You should start working on your story soon. Before you start, you will need
to know the rules for the storytelling contest.
First, you need to work with a partner. Second, you need to write the story
and support it with pictures. Third, when you present your story, you must
work with you partner and you must both join in the presentation. Fourth,
you need to write a story about a young girl named Sandy who had a special
experience in a museum. Before you start writing, you will need to decide
on the following points:
What did she do before she went to the museum?
How did she get to the museum?
Who did she go with?
What time of the year was it?
What time of the day was it?
At the end of the story you must provide a surprise ending. If everything
is clear, you can get into pairs and start thinking about the beginning of
the story.

S1: OK, Let’s first think about how Sandy got there. Should she go on the train or the school bus?
S2: Well, we should first decide why she went to the museum.
S1: That’s right. Was it because she liked the show in the museum?
S2: Or perhaps she went because of a class project? You know we always do
class projects.
S1: That’s a good idea. So she went to the museum to do a class project about…
S2: About art and history?
S1: That’s not a bad idea, a project about art and history.
S2: Now we can decide how she got to the museum.
S1: If she went because of a class project, she and her classmates probably
would go by school bus.
S2: Why?
S1: Because a school bus can take about fifty people. When we go on an outing,
two teachers always go with us. Remember?
S2: That’s true. So they all went by school bus.
S1: Yes, so now we know why and how she went to the museum, and who she was
with. But what did she do before she got there?
S2: Perhaps, they were walking from school bus, and Sandy and her partner
Li feifei were so busy looking around that they got lost. And they started
to run to try and find their classmates. Luckily they could still see them
and caught up with them at last.
S1: Yes, that would explain why she was so tired.
S2: Well, it seems that we have answered all of the questions.
