●Welcome to the Unit
Step 1: Brainstorming
1. Do you love your parents? Do you think you show respect to your parents?
2. Do you sometimes quarrel with your parents? How do arguments usually happen? Will you give examples of kinds of problems you sometimes have with your parents.
Some parents may interfere in their children's lives and try to influence their decisions about their future career or study plans.
Parents may want to make decisions for their children and also force them into doing things they don't want to, such as household chores or extra study.
Some parents don't always trust that their child is telling the truth. They may ask lots of questions about a child's social activities or the reason why they are late coming home, etc.
Some of the problems we have been discussing are quite common in families nowadays. What should you do to deal with these problems?
Do you nowadays always listen to your parents' instructions? Do you always explain yourselves to your parents and resolve problems peacefully? Or do you disobey your parents and quarrel with them about your decisions?
In every family there are certain issues that cause problems and arguments. What are the most common causes of family arguments? Are these daily conflicts over doing homework, doing household chores and going to bed and getting up on time? Or are they over bigger issues such as study, careers, university and making friends?
Step 2: Discussing and practicing
1. Look at each picture carefully. There are four pictures here. First of all, I'd like you to imagine the situation and try to describe it with your own words.
(The teacher can show an example to students by describing the first picture.)
Last Sunday, after leaving school, Li Ping went home feeling extremely tired. He wanted to have a good rest and relax. When his parents said hello to him, he was so impatient that he didn't say anything and went straight to his own bedroom. Though his parents were very confused, they didn't ask him why and continued with the cooking. After a while, loud music came from Li Ping's bedroom. His mother was very angry and she rushed into his room.
2. Now please talk about each picture as fully as possible in groups of four and share your opinions with your partners. Better not let go the chance to speakJ. I will invite some of you to report back your descriptions.
3. Do you think there is a generation gap between you and your parents? Does the generation gap really exist? How do you overcome the gap?
