Fast readingAsk the Students to read the passage as quickly as they can and then answer the questions on the screen. Let them get the main idea of each paragraph and make clear about the text structure.Text structure: ( structured writing ) The passage can be divided into 3 parts.Part I — (Paras. 1- 3)On a tour of France, I saw the Mediterranean Sea, but the rip currents scared me. And it reminded me that I developed a fear of water due to the experience of last summer and since then, the fear wouldn’t recede.Part II — Paras. 4-17When I saw a boy drowning amid the waves, I was in a mental and emotional struggle whether I should save him because I was extremely terrified of water. After my fierce struggle, I made the single big decision: to threw myself into the water. I finally reached the boy and had him under control; but when I swam back toward shore, the rip current was forcibly dragging us out to sea. I tried to remember how to escape from a rip current, and with that, I slowly made my way to safety, thus conquering my inner fear of water as well.Part III — (Paras. 18-19)I was relaxed and happy in a moment of triumph and salvation.Structure of the textPurpose: Improve the students’ reading and writing ability and understand the general idea of each paragraph.Method: Read the text individually and talk in groups; Use task-based language teaching method, reading approach, communicative approach and total physical response method.Step 4: While-reading ActivitiesStudents are required to look at the Words and Phrases on the screen and give a brief presentation in class.Words and Phrases:Purpose: Train the Students’ ability of understandi ng and using foreign language.Method: Talk in groups, Use task-based language teaching method, communicative approach and total physical response method.Practical phrases1. deem sth. important 认为……重要别人认为重要的，并不能作为你确定目标的根据。
