Word power
Boys and girls, we have dealt with the differences and similarities about school life between China and UK. I think you have had a better understanding of the reading material. Do you like your school life? Here are some pictures for you to appreciate.
What can you see in the picture? Which aspect or factor attracts you most and causes you to study in our school?
(beautiful night scene, teaching buildings and two marble statues. They reflect how beautiful our school is. We students in our school can be encouraged to study better and harder with such beautiful and meaningful surroundings)
Today we will come to 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.
You are not only 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 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.
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 complete it. You’d better consult eac h other or the dictionary whenever you have a problem before consulting me. Then report your answers. Pay attention to your pronunciation and spelling.

C. (1) car park (2) classrooms (3) library (4)labs (5)gym

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?)

Answers to Part B (page 93)
Dear Mickey,
I came to see you but you happened to be out. I’d like to invite you to visit me at school when you have time. Here’s how to get to my dormitory.
When you ge t to the school gate, you’ll see the playground in front of you with the gym on the left and three classroom buildings on the right. Go toward the gym. Then, walk along the road between the playground and the gym. Go straight ahead, pass the library and th e teacher’s office until you reach a small river. Take a right turn to get to the bridge. After you cross the bridge, you’ll see three buildings ahead. The one in the middle is our canteen. The two buildings on either side of the canteen are the dormitories. The one on the left is Dorm 1.
That’s where I live.
See you soon.
Andy
Resources
School facilities are an important part of school construction and development. Sometimes, the school will allocate a large amount of funds for redecorating school buildings, buying new pieces of equipment and making the whole school environment safer and more pleasant.
