Task 2是本单元的第七课时，该节课是以说和写的教学为主。

因为本课说与写的教学相结合，所以，应利用多个问题引导学生进行讨论，在激活学生与单元话题有关的已有知识的基础上，总结出写好演讲稿的步骤和方法。

Teaching aims:
1. After discussion about what to do before a speech, the students will be able to know the steps of preparing a speech;
2. After the teacher’s instruction, the students will be able to know how to collect information and what to choose to fill in the speech;
3. After writing and learning the possible example, the students will be able to know what kind of speech is a good one.
Teaching procedures:
Step1 Discussion (PPT5—6)
What will you do before you attend a speech or an essay competition?
Tips: 1. Know what the subject of the competition is.
2. Find out different aspects of the subject and write the draft.
3. Do research on the aspects that you do not know.
用“你在演讲前该做什么？”的讨论题，引起学生思考和直接点明本节课的学习目标，对下面的如何写起到铺垫作用。

A possible example:
Ladies and gentlemen,
What I want to talk about here is the history of the film industry.
There are many firsts in the history of the film industry. Do you know when and where the first film was made? It was in the 1880s, more than 120 years ago, that William Friese-Green recorded and then played back what we now think of as a film. He made his film in Hyde Park, London, and later watched it in his home.
The fathers of modern film are thought to be the Lumière brothers from France. The first films ever made were silent. The audiences could hear different kinds of music played by a piano player or an orchestra in the theatre. It was not until in
1927 that the first ‘talking film’ or film with sound was shown in New York. The title of it was The Jazz Singer. Just imagine how audiences reacted when they watched the first film with sound! It is said that the audience was so excited that everyone in the theatre stood up and applauded.
In 1896, film was introduced to China. The first Chinese film ever made, Conquering Jun Mountain, was made in 1905. the first film made only by Chinese was The Difficult Couple, which was made in 1913. Then, about 18 years later, the first ‘talking film’ was made in China in 1931. The title of the film is The Songstress, Red Peony.
Although the first cinema that opened in the USA was in Pennsylvania, Hollywood is well known for film-making. Three quarters of the films seen around the world are made in the USA, and about ninety-nine per cent of them are made in Hollywood. The companies there make films in their studios. Do you know the name of the first studio that opened in Hollywood? It was Nestro Studios, which is now a part of Universal studios.
激活学生在本单元所学的相关知识，灵活应用到演讲稿中，是教会学生学以致用的重要教学方法。

学生写出的演讲稿毕竟层次不会很高，所以配上一篇范文可进一步立体地呈现给学生看什么样的演讲稿更符合演讲的特点。
