picture.
(2)Read the title aloud. Get students to predict what they think the article
is about, based on the title.

Instead, they use their background knowledge to try to answer the
questions.
As students work, walk around, looking at their progress. When most
students complete the task, let students answer the questions with a
partner.
Step 3. Section 2 While you read
This activity encourages students to predict what they are about to read.
(1) Go through the instructions with the students．
(2) Get them to complete the task in small groups. When they work, walk around
the class room and make sure students discuss in English their reasons for
selecting each word. Ask students to report their answers. Vote on the most
likely words.
(3) Answers will vary. But it is likely students will select culture, family,
history, grandfather and tradition.

mistake. They should refer back to the information in the reading.
(2) Ask students to use the reading to order the sentences 1 to 8. See above
answers for correct numbering of the sentences.

(3) Present the imaginary situation, and ask students to suggest things that
overseas students could do in Shanghai. List them on the board. Check two
of the activities. Explain that means that they have already been done.
Put a cross by another one. This example shows it has not been done yet.

as well as their own ideas. Remind them of the two ways to talk about the
activities: the Present Perfect positive, and the Present Perfect negative.
Monitor and provide language support where necessary.
(5) Ask st udents to exchange notebooks with a partner. They should identify
any mistakes they made. Instead if saying ‘You made three mistakes’, say
‘There are three things I can change which will improve our English’.
Step 4. Section 4 Go for it!
(1) Ask students to create a family tree. They may need the help of their
family for names and relationships. Ask some students to do an oral
presentation on their tree to the class, or in groups.
(2) Encourage other students to ask questions when they want more information.
Put up a classroom display of all the family trees.
Step 5. If you have time
Explain to students that they are Robert Qian or Cathy Qin. Ask students to list ideas for activities that they want to write about.
Ask students to also make notes on why they think overseas students enjoyed
these activities. Monitor and ask questions like: Do you think American/

in America/overseas?
Now ask the students to describe how these activities have affected them. Step 6. Practice
