】2. Films about robots
T: Have you ever seen the film WALL-E? The robot Wall-E works on the Earth for nearly ten years. Do you think it is interesting? Let me tell you more about it.
T: It is an American science-fiction comedy film and came out in 2008. It was produced by Pixar Animation Studios and was released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is about a robot named WALL-E, who is designed to clean up a waste-covered Earth. He falls in love with another robot named EVE, who also has a task to do, and follows her into outer space on an adventure that changes the future of both his kind and humanity.
T: What do you think of the robot?
T: I think he is clever and it seems that he can think.
I don’t doubt that he has a brain like us, so they can do whatever they are asked to.
So, here brain means 大脑in Chinese.
【设计用意：通过观看视频，生动形象地呈现生词，并激发学生对机械人的酷爱。

】
T: Have you ever seen the film I, robot?
T: The story tells us that in 2035, humans live with robots happily. Robots can do whatever they are asked to for humans. But one day, something happens ….
T: What about this film? Yes, 《机械战警》in Chinese. Have you ever heard of it?
T: The story tells us that in 2028, a policeman came back to life as a robot. He plays an important role in protecting people’s safety.
【设计用意：中学生对科幻电影普遍比较感爱好，因此本环节结合讲义内容，给学生推荐他们喜爱的电影，同时介绍机械人的用途，在激发他们的想象力的同时，又能引发他们在下个环节中参加对话的爱好。

Step 3 Practice
T: If you had a robot, what would you like it to do for you? Why?
T: What are Daniel’s and Amy’s ideas about robots? Let’s listen to a dialogue between them and answer questions.
T: How could robots help us in the future? Have a talk with your partner and then act it out in front of the class.
【设计用意：在把握了足够多的关于机械人的信息后，学生已经具有了“输出”的能力。

通过对话，能够了解学生对本堂课知识的把握情形，也能提高他们对知识的运用能力和表达能力。
