Main idea: comparing the differences between Ancient and Modern Olympics.2. ScanningPurpose: To get Ss to have some details in the text.Read the text quickly and find out the similarities & differences between Ancient and Modern Olympics.(1) What are the similarities?(2) What are the differences?3. Read the passage carefully and silently and finish Ex2 (P11).Suggested Answers:(1) Pausanias is amazed that many countries take part in theOlympic Games and women too and there are two sets of Games-the Winter and the Summer Olympics.(2) Because Li Yan has explained that it is a great honour to host the Olympic Games..(3)He thinks that so many things have changed in the Olympic Games that he fears that the spirit of the Olympics may have changed too.4．DiscussionYou 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?For your reference:It is worthwhile to host the Olympic games. To host Olympic Games can make our culture and people understood by the other peoples. To host Olympic Games can make our country known to the whole world. To host Olympic Games can stimulate our economy, and help to speed up its development.5. ImaginationImagine what we will do and what we can do for the 29th Olympic Games.For your reference:Maybe we can serve as volunteers to help the foreign visitors and athletes from all over the world. So at present we should study hard. Especially we should try our best to learn English well.6. SummaryAs 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 thatone 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.7. Language pointsPurpose: To train Ss’ language capacity.Divide Ss into four groups and ask each group to discuss how to understand and use the new words and analyze the following phrases. Give Ss enough time to learn the language points by heart.take part in…, in order to, find out, used to, be admitted as…, compete against…, for the honour of…, be admitted to…, play a r ole, as well as, , as a matter of fact, compete for…, proud of…,8. RetellingPurpose: Train students’ ability of summarizing and expressing.We 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?For your reference:The ancient Olympic Games began in Greece and were held from 776 BC to AD393. It was held every four years. At that time, there were not so many sports as today. And women were not allowed to take part in the games. There were not Winter Olympics at that time. Winners got the olive wreath as the prize. The motto was swifter, higher and stronger.The modern Olympic Games began in 1891. They’re held every four years. There are many new sports in the Olympics. In the summer Olympics there are over 250 different sports. Women are not only allowed to join in but also play a very important role. Now the competitors compete for medals. The motto is swifter, higher and stronger.Winners got the olive wreath as the prize. The motto was swifter, higher and stronger.The modern Olympic Games began in 1891. They’re held every four years. There are many new sports in the Olympics. In the summer Olympics there are over 250 different sports. Women are not only allowed to join in but also play a very important role. Now the competitors compete for medals. The motto is swifter, higher and stronger.。
