●Welcome to the unit

Step 1: Brainstorming

It’s the beginning of a new term. You have just finished junior high a nd are about to enter a new period in your studies. I am very happy to have all of you in my class and I hope we can be friends.

I can see that some of you are eager to know what studying at senior high will be like. Will it be different from junior high? Well, there are certainly many differences between junior high and senior high, but there are also some things that are the same in every school in China. What about schools in other countries? Do students learn differently and have different experiences? Are schools all over the world the same?

This is the subject of our first unit. Today we are going to look at schools in the United Kingdom and try to work out if they are the same or different from schools in China. Here are four pictures that show some aspects of school life in the UK. Please look at the pictures, read the instructions and try to determine the differences between schools in China and the UK.

Step 2: Discussing and practicing

Let’s have a discussion for several minutes.(The teacher can us e the following contents to help students.)

Huge campus and low-rise buildings: In the United Kingdom,we can see huge campus and

low-rise buildings in this picture. It is the biggest difference from schools in China. Schools in China usually have a large enough campus to make sure students have enough space to study and play in. But most school buildings are taller, at least three storeys.

Lockers for every student: In the United Kingdom, there are rows of lockers by the classrooms for students to put their stationery, books, exercise-books and other belongings.In China students bring what they need for lessons to school and then take it all back home after school. Most schools in China do not have the equipment in the classroom.

Fewer students in each class:In the United Kingdom, there are fewer students in a class, no more

Now try to combine your own school experiences with knowledge gained from this text and other sources, so that you can participate fully in the discussion.(Give students a couple of minutes to talk about the following three questions.)

1. Do you know any other differences between the lives of Chinese and British high school students?

2. What kind of school activities do you enjoy?

3. What is your dream school life like?

Now in groups exchange your opinions and everyone is supposed to speak out your idea. Each group will then report your conclusions to the whole class.

Word power

Boys and girls, we have dealt with the differences and similarities about school life between China and UK. I think you have had a better understanding of the reading material. Do you like your school life? Here are some pictures for you to appreciate.

What can you see in the picture? Which aspect or factor attracts you most and causes you to study in our school?

(beautiful night scene, teaching buildings and two marble statues. They reflect how beautiful our school is. We students in our school can be encouraged to study better and harder with such beautiful and meaningful surroundings)

Today we will come to Word Power.This section deals with words and expressions related to school facilities. Familiarize yourselves with the school facilities and review expressions of asking and answering the way. Parts A and B involve activities that aim to activate your relative prior knowledge. Part C is designed to reinforce the vocabulary involved in Parts A and B. Part D aims to expand and evaluate your vocabulary by doing a matching exercise.

You are not only to expand your related vocabulary but also to apply them in practical usage. Step 1: Brainstorming

1. Thinking about the following topic:

School plays an important part in children’s growing-up. When you finished your junior study, your parents and you all had a careful and thoughtful consideration about which senior high school suited you best or which senior high school could give you the best education and provide
