Greeting and a brief revision (pair work or group work)Ask one or two pairs (groups) to act out their own dialogue2. Lead-in questions:1) Some people say, “We learn more outside class.” Do you agree? Why or whynot?Y es, that’s true, because what we get in class is just book knowledge, while outside class or in the society we get real-life knowledge, which is more practical for our future life.No, if so, why should we go to school or college and attend so many classes? Why should we care how well our teachers are prepared for their jobs?2) What benefits can undergraduate students get by doing research at college?They can earn academic credit, money, and experience as well. They can learn to think for themselves and gain intellectual confidence. They can expand their minds in new directions. And they can prepare for their careers.3. Culture notes1) Undergraduate ResearchIn many universities, students are encouraged to participate in research to develop their own original research designs under the guidance of instructors. Students are usually paid for their research. If they register for a course and do a project, they can earn academic credits. In some departments a research project might constitute an honors thesis.2) Ways to graduate “with honors”In U. S. education, there are four main ways students may graduate with honors.all A’s ------ may gra duate with highest honors’mostly A’s ------may graduate with high honors’mostly A’s& B’s ------ may graduate with honors’A student may graduate with honors in the major field. This requires high gradesin the major, fairly good grades overall, and an extra research project in the major.1)Honors thesisAn honors student who does an extra research project in the major and writes a research paper can graduate with honors. This extra research project paper is usually called an honor s thesis, which resembles a short master’s thesis.Step 2 While-reading Tasks (75 mins)1.

Summarize the passageSummary:Undergraduate research is a good way to develop a student’s mind. It can also give the student a head start on a career or even earn the student some money. When doing research the student must work independently, which builds confidence while practicing useful skills. By applying knowledge learned from a book or a classroom to a research project, the student learns much more than could be learned inanother way. Mastery of facts is only the beginning of our learning. It’s what we do with them that really matters.2. Check the answers of the Exe. 4, 5 and 63.

This is called the Pro Circuit or Pro Tour. The major events, such as the U.S., British, French, and Australian Opens in tennis are part of the Pro Circuit.2) Leading Computer CompaniesThe two leading computer companies in the world are IBM (International Business Machines) and Microsoft. IBM specializes in hardware, and Microsoft specializes in software. Windows is clearly the dominant software format, and this may be Microsoft’s greatest contribution to the computer industry.

Summarize the passageSummary:The author has been successful in several different fields, such as academics, sports, computers, and business. In each case he uses the same strategy, which he calls creative emulation. He finds the people who are already successful and tries to model his behavior on theirs, adding his own personal features. Using this approach he has built a large and successful business. But he also notes that his young son uses the same strategy for learning about daily living. With such a smart father to emulate, this should be no surprise. Students may do likewise by choosing especially successful classmates or teachers as their role models.2.
