T: Which mountain is the highest in Africa?
Ss: Mount Kilimanjaro.
Show the pictures and introduction of Mount Kilimanjaro on the PowerPoint.
Step ⅡListening
T: Do you think it easy to climb Kilimanjaro?
Ss: Of course not.
T: It is not easy to climb it. It is more difficult for people with disabilities. But Barry Minto made it. And he became famous. He is being interviewed on the radio. Now let’s listen to the interview. Deal with Exx 1-4 on Pages 6-7. Play the recording several times if necessary.
Step ⅢSpeaking
Students are asked to work in pairs to practice offering congratulations and best wishes.
Show the useful expressions on Page 7 on the PowerPoint.
a) used when you want to congratulate someone
—“I’ve just passed my driving test!”
—“Congratulations!”
b) words saying you are happy that someone has achieved something
Give Tom my congratulations.
Give the following two situations for students to practice offering congratulations and best wishes. Situation 1: Your friend is going to take part in the 2005 “CCTV Cup” English Speaking Contest. Situation 2: Your friend has won the first prize in the 2005 “CCTV Cup” English Speaking Contest.
Step ⅣReading, speaking and writing
Show pictures of a cinema, including inside and outside facilities. Ask students to discuss what problems that people with disabilities sometimes have in a cinema. Divide students into different groups. They are given several minutes to discuss. Each member is encouraged to think actively and participate in the discussion. Make sure all students have their own opinions.
After the discussion.
T: Now please stop discussing. Alice is a warm-hearted girl. She cares for the disabled very much. When she learned a new cinema is going to be built, she wrote a letter to make suggestions. Here is the letter that gives suggestions to an architect who is to design the new Bankstown cinema. Let’s find out what suggestions Alice gives.
Skimming
Students can find the answers quickly, because they are printed in the pink color.
Careful reading
Help students to analyze the letter so that they will learn how to write a letter of suggestion.
T: Now please read the text carefully and think about the questions in Ex3on Page 8.
After students read the text carefully, they will discuss the questions in Ex3 in groups. Several minutes later, check the answers with the whole class.
Suggested answers:
1. To tell the reader the purpose of the letter.
2. The writer has used numbers and a title in italics for each paragraph to organize the ideas and to make it easier for the reader to understand and remember the five suggestions.
3. To finish the letter in a polite way and to put forward some reasons why the architect should consider the writer’s suggestions.
T: After you read Alice’s suggestion letter, do you know how to write a letter of suggestion? Please discuss in groups. Then we will work together to write a format of a suggestion letter.
After the discussion, show the following on the PowerPoint or print it out.
Step ⅤPractice
Deal with Ex 4-6 on Page 9.
