Lead-in
T: During last periods, we have some basic ideas of the UN and the UN Goodwill ambassador. And this period we will learn more about the UN. Before starting our class, I’d like to ask you a question: When you’re ill and go to the hospital, what is the first thing you will do?
S: To register and know which clinic room is the right one.
T: Yes, that’s it! First you have to know what the problem is, and then find the correct ways to cure. You can not go straight forward to the hospital and find a doctor at random and ask for treatment.
Step 2 Reading and discussing
T: And that’s the same to the international aid. Today, we’ll learn the connected organizations of the UN and try to get a further understanding of the proper organizations to help people around the world. Now, according to what we have learned before, and the news you’ve heard of from newspaper and the internet, talk with your partner: What problems harass people around the world.
After several minutes.
T: What problems have you found?
S: Famine, wars, flood, natural disasters, poverty and also disease.
Write these down on the blackboard.
T: Correct! And do you know the right organizations in the UN that can help solve these problems?
S: Not exactly.
T: Well, read Part A in Word power and discuss with your partner to find the right organizations that can solve the problems you have mentioned above.
Show the chart the students have done in the previous period and ask them to add
Then ask the students to discuss about the organizations in the chart.
T: Well, that’s it. Now tell me whether these organizations are governmental or not? S: They’re non-governmental.
T: And how many types can these organizations be classified into?
S: Special agencies, World Bank Group and Programs and funds.
T: Correct! You have learned the types of the UN organizations and what these organizations aim at. Now finish Parts B& C.
Step 3 Acronyms
T: Have you got an address?
S: Yes,/No.
T: Some of you have got one, while some haven’t. Well, after this class maybe you can use what we’ve learned today to register an addresses, and what do they stand for?
S1: My address is , and it stands for my birthday. If you want to know my birthday, you can remember my address.
S2: My address is , and z stands for my family name Zhou, bc stand for my given name Bichang.
….
T: There are many ways that you can register your address. And one of the widely-used methods is: keeping the first letters of your family name and given name, right?
Ss: Yes!
T: OK, that is what we are going to learn—acronyms, the shortened version of a name. It consists of the first letters of each word of the name. (Write this definition on the Bb) For example, UN stands for United Nations, NGOs stands for Non-Governmental Organizations. Now, it’s your turn to work out the following acronyms using the information on page 54.
