1Checking the homeworkStep 2DiscussionT：We listened to the interview about Dr Mary Murray.From the interview,we know that she worked for MSF and helped people in poor areas as a volunteer.Q1：Do you think whether people like Dr Mary Murray and Professor Fred Hollows should help those in poorer areas？Give your reasons.(Four students a group and have a discussion.Then ask some of them to present their opinions and reasons.)S1：In my opinion,Dr Mary Murray and Professor Fred Hollows should help those in poorer areas.And I would like to be a volunteer if possible.Th e reason is that we,either poor or rich,live on the same planet.Just as John F．Kennedy said in his inaugural address,“If a free society cannot help the many who are poor,it cannot save the few who are rich.”S2：Humanism or humanitarianism is a necessary quality for us human beings.We should share what we have and help those who are badly in need of help.I will become a volunteer if time permits.Actually I often help those who need help.For example,every Sunday,I take my neighbour,a disabled girl,to the park to refresh herself.And we talk a lot,and I think I help her a lot,which makes me very happy.S3：I agree with them,but I think the most important thing is that we should try to help thepoor to be independent instead of just giving them food and clothes.S4：I have a different idea.It's not wrong to help the poor.But according to my experience,helping the poor is not always a pleasant experience.S5：I can't agree more.I once read an article about such kind of things.The “poor” are not always so noble,and they are the hardest to deal with.People who deal with the poor can tell a hundred stories about how they waste money and opportunities.You bring food to their home and notice a large－screen TV.You give them money and they buy groceries at the nearby convenience store(where prices are very high)．You have their car fixed and find out it is a Buick Skylark.Whenever you visit them,they are watching TV.S6：Maybe what you said is true.However,it is not right to let the poor fight alone with their many problems coming from poverty.Unless we do something about poverty,the problems will remain.Q2：Would you like to work as a volunteer like Dr Mary Murray in the future?What I would doWhere I would like to goHow long I would stayAfter the students have shar ed their ideas with each other,ask several students to tell the class about their ideas without looking at the chart.Samples：S1：If I'm a volunteer,I'd like to go to the western part of our country.Because many people there can't get access to clean drinking water,and quite a few develop strange diseases.I think I can help them.I know how to make water clean for them.And from my grandfather,I learned to treat some diseases with Chinese medicine.I would like to spend as many days or months as possible to help them if possible.I will work as a doctor to cure diseases.Of course,I will learn more traditional methods to treat different diseases.S2：If I'm a volunteer,I'd like to go to Africa.Because many people there are too poor to get formal education.Just because of that,many suffer from AIDS or other contagious diseases.I'd like to share my skills of being a teacher and teach them.If possible,I will work there for a year and then come back to finish my education.And then I will return to the place to work again.In this way,I can help them get the latest information about the world and about science and technology.Of course,I can also get to know Africa and African people better,in order to help them help themselves.Because I know “God helps those who help themselves.”S3：I will go to the hospital near my community.There are a lot of disabled people who have no one to help them.They are lonely and sad.I would like to talk with them,read to them,and even sing with them.In this way,I can help them get enough courage for their future life.I will go there every Sunday,and if possible,I will persuade my friends to go there with me.Then more and more people will offer help,and more and more disabled people will get help.I just want to be a volunteer,which does not need any special skills.I will learn how to take care of the elder and the sick.Step 3Speaking taskT：I'm glad that you are all willing to help others.In order to be good volunteers,what should we do？Do you know that in our country there are still a lot of children who can't go to school？And there is a project which aims to help them.What is it？(Give some information about ProjectHope.)Project HopeProject Hope has brought hope to children over the past 10 years,said a national working conference held in Harbin on Saturday.Project Hope,which was first launched in October 1989,is a nationwide educational project to help mainly school dropouts in outlying,poverty－stricken areas resume their schooling.According to the latest statistics,Project Hope raised 1.78 billion yuan(US $ 214 million)by June,1999,which aided 2.209 million education－deprived children to go to school and 7549 Hope schools to be built.It is said that the past three years witnessed the largest amount of funds raised for Project Hope.The volume accounted for nearly half of the total raised in the last 10 years while the number of Hope schools built made up more than half.Since last year,the strategic focus of Project Hope has gradually been shifted from the previous widespread aid to the cultivation of excellent students and follow－up support for Hope schools.The main tasks of Project Hope in the future will concentrate on building more Hope schools,strengtheni ng the training of teachers of these schools,equipping the schools with computers and related education software,and developing long－range education.T：Who has ever sponsored a child or is sponsoring a child from a poor area？Have your parents,relatives or friends sponsored a child through Project Hope?When you grow up and get a job,would you like to participate in Project Hope by sponsoring a child from a po or area？And why?Four students a group.Share your opinions with your partner.Try to find out reasons for your answer.If you decided to sponsor a child,how would you do it？The expression s below may be useful in your discussion.Why would you...?Because I want to share with others...The reason is that...Then...Next...Finally...How could you do that?First,find some information through...A sample discussion：S1：I would like to sponsor a child from a poor area through Project Hope.S2：Why would you like to do that?S1：Because I think school education is very important for a person,especially those in poor areas.If they fail to receive education,they will get poorer and poorer.Don't you know the saying that “knowledge changes fate”？S2：Sure I know that.But how could you do that?S1：First,find some information through newspapers and the Internet,and get in touch with some children.After knowing their conditions,we can do something to help.For example,if they can't afford the money to go to school or don't have books and schoolbags,we can use our pocket money to help them.S3：But how could you know that you are sponsoring the right child who really needs help?S4：Why don't we get in touch with China Youth Development Foundation first,and through it we can get enough information.Se：I have a good idea.We can raise money for Project Hope.First,we can make a plan for raising money.We can design a slogan “Donate for Project Hope,help children who can't go to school”．Then,we print some leaflets,telling people about Project Hope.Next,we go to parks on Sundays,and collect money for Project Hope.I'm sure we will collect a lot of money for Project Hope.Finally,we can mail the money to China Youth Development Foundation.Step 4TalkingImagine that you have a CCC at your school and you are part of it.In groups,carry out the following tasks.Then choose a group member to present your decisions to the class.1．List the kinds of Chinese organizations you would like to raise money for.2．How would you raise this money?3．List the kinds of organizations you would like to give your time to.4．What would you do for that organization?A sample plan：As far as we know,there are many kinds of Chinese organizations that need people's donation,for example,China Charity is the country's largest charitable organization：The China Charity Federation(CCF)；Red Cross Society；Song Ching Ling Foundation；China's Welfare Homes for Children；Project Hope.We would post a poster on the school bulletin board,telling the students that many children are suffering from diseases because they don't have money for medicine and that many children can't go to school because of poverty.We should try our best to help them,making the best of our pocket money.We would even get some pictures or videos about the poor.In this way,we can raise money for these organizations.Of course,we can also get help from local TV stations and newspapers,which can reach a wide range of audience and readers.We would like to give our time to：1.The Local Orphanage 2.Home for Senior Citizens 3.Hospitals.During the summer holidays and winter holidays,we would like to spend time talking with the lonely senior citizens and taking care of them.After the Spring Festival,we would take advantage of the chance to raise money for Project Hope or other organizations.If possible,we would like to visit the orphans when we are free.But,what a pity,we usually have lessons on weekends,even on Sundays.Nevertheless,we will try our best to help.Homework：Preview the reading passage on Page 29.Fi nish Exercises 1 & 2 on Page 31.。
