They live in harmony with each other.T: This is the principal lesson for you to remember: Discovering that happiness comes through sharing，and that individuality need not be selfish but can be expressed more fully when it is in harmony with others.Then show the following pictures on the PowerPoint.T: Look at the following pictures and describe people’s deeds.S: They are doing something wron g. People shouldn’t fight each other. Sun Nan，a famous singer in 2004 was complained to disturb his neighbours，and his neighbours called 110 . He had to make an apology to his neighbours and turned off his stereo.T: From the pictures we learn what we should do in a community and what we should not do. Have you had any conflict with your neighbours？How did you deal with the conflict？...Students are given several minutes to recall the conflict they had.T: Today we are going to learn Lesson 1 Living in a Community. In the text are two newspaper reports，which are about conflicts between neighbours.Step II Before you startDiscuss the first two questions in Before you start.T: Read the first newspaper report. Whose side are you on，the drummer’s or his neighbours’？Why？Students are given five minutes to finish the first question. After students discuss question 1，they will be asked to guess the meaning of the idiom “hit the road”？T: OK，so much for the discussion. After reading the report，can you guess the meaning of the idiom “hit the road”？Ss: To leave or depart. To set out，as on a trip；leave.T: Good！If you hit the road，you leave a place or begin a journey. Please look at some other examples.Show the following examples on the PowerPoint.I had better hit the road if I’ to be ba ck home before dark.I’ love to stay longer but it's really time to hit the road.Come on，it's time to hit the road，or Jack hit the trail at dawn.Now look at the title and the first paragraph of the second report. Discuss in pairs what might have happened？After that read the report quickly to see if your prediction is correct.Step III Read to learnDeal with the reading part.ScanningAsk the students to scan the text and find the conflict in the two reports. Then complete the form. They may discuss with others if they have any difficulty.Eight minutes later，students will be asked to present their answers. Then Teacher shows the suggested answers on the PowerPoint and students will read together.SkimmingAsk students to skim the text and then finish Ex3 on Page 20.T: Look through the questions first. Then skim the text to find the answers. Ten minutes later，we will check the answers together.Ask individual student to answer the questions.Suggested answers:1. Yes，he does. From the sentence “He’s bid his furnished apartment goodbye ...” we can learn there is furniture in his apartment.2. He held parties every night but the biggest problem was his late-night drumming.3. Because he claims Yang is an alcoholic.4. Yes，he has. Because he doesn’t mind living in a h otel. What he really cares is that besides being called an alcoholic his music has been classified as “noise”.5. A fortnight.6. Yes，there are. Because he is eighty years old.7. The water from Smith’s balcony got the cake wet through and all the candles were put out by the water.Step IV ExplanationDuring this procedure Teacher will play the tape for students. Students will underline the difficult sentences. After listening to the tape，Teacher will explain the text and deal with language problems.T: Now we will deal with some difficult language focuses. Now I will play the tape for you. Please make marks where you have difficulties.After listening to the tape，explain the difficult sentences to students. Before explaining the difficult points，students are asked to refer to the notes to the text.T: Do you have any difficulties with the text？S1: I don’t understand why so many inversion sentences are used？T: You are a very careful student. Let’s pick out the inversion sentences in the two reports.Show the following on the PowerPoint.Seldom has drumming caused such conflict.Had they known their neighbour is a drummer，they wouldn’t have moved into the building.No sooner had they moved in than the noise began and rarely did they get a full night’s sleep.Neither could they relax or read a book without plugging their ears.Neither could we get rid of the smell of fish！Rarely had Laurene seen McKay move so fast.T: This is the Grammar we are going to learn: Complex sentence structure for emphasis.Step V GrammarDeal with Ex5 on Page 21. Ask students to do the exercises groups. Then check the answers with the whole class.Students should keep in mind the following pattern sound formal and emphatic.Sentences begin with a word that has a negative meaning.Sentences have the word order of a question (inversion).T: Please remember the grammar rules. There are a number of ways to add emphasis to your sentences in English. Use these forms to emphasize your statements when you are expressing your opinions，disagreeing，making strong suggestions，expressing annoyance，etc. Please look at the following.Show the following on the PowerPoint.InversionInvert the word order by placing a prepositional phrase or other expression (at no time，suddenly into，little，seldom，never，etc.) at the beginning of the sentence followed by inverted word order.Examples:At no time did I say you couldn't come.Hardly had I arrived when he started complaining.Little did I understand what was happening.Seldom have I felt so alone.Note that the auxiliary verb is placed before the subject which is followed by the main verb.I did give it back to you when I got home from camping.I do tidy it.Cleft Sentences: ItSentences introduced by 'It is' or 'It was' are often used to emphasize a specific subject or object. The introductory clause is then followed by a relative pronoun.Examples:It was I who received the promotion.It is the awful weather that drives him crazy.Cleft Sentences: WhatSentences introduced by a clause beginning with 'What' are also used to emphasize a specific subject or object. The clause introduced by “What” is employed as the subject of the sentence as is followed by the verb “to be”.Examples:What we need is a good long shower.What he thinks isn't necessarily true.These are the Grammar that we are going to learn in Lesson 1. Now please read Grammar Summary 3 on Page 100.After reading the grammar summary，ask students to sum up the negative words and expressions. T: Now please work in groups and sum up the negative words and expressions that such sentences begin with.no，not，never，seldom，little，hardly，at no time，in no way，not until…Not only … but also，Hardly / Scarcely … when，No sooner … thanTeacher explains some of the negative words. Show the following on the PowerPoint.Negative AdverbialsTime expressions: never，rarely，seldomThese time expressions are used with a perfect form or with modals and often include comparatives.ExamplesNever have I been more insulted！Seldom has he seen anything stranger.Time expressions: hardly，barely，no sooner，or scarcelyThese time expressions are used when a there are a succession of events in the past.ExamplesScarcely had I got out of bed when the doorbell rang.No sooner had he finished dinner，when she walked in the door.After “Little”“Little” is used in a negative sense.ExamplesLittle did he understand the situation！Deal with Ex6.Ask students to paraphrase the two conditional sentences so that they sound less emphatic and less formal.Deal with Ex7.Step VI PracticeAfter learning the grammar，students will be asked to deal with the grammar exercises: Ex 9-11 on Page 21. Ask students to read the sentences with answers in turn，each student one sentence.Step VII Homework1. Finish the grammar exercises on Page 66.2. Write Ex4 in their exercise-books.。
