Teaching procedures:
Step 1. Revision

Step 2. Presentation
SB Page 49, Part 1. Talk about the picture and get s to tell what they think is happening. Then read the introductions.
Step 3. Listening
Play the tape of Speech Cassette Lesson 81, and tell the students to listen to the tape to answer the following questions (the italic parts are possible answers):
1.What are Mary and Rik talking about?
They are talking about a music party.
2.What music is Rik supposed to start with at the party?
Some fairly quiet and peaceful music.
3.What music will be played at the end of the party?
After supper, play some jazz or pop music.
4.What instruments does Rik play? He plays the guitar, piano and jazz violin.
5.Do you play any instruments? Do you find it hard?
I don't play any instruments, I think all of them are hard to learn and they need a lot of time to practise.
Step 4. Reading
Read the text and explain the language difficulties if necessary.
(1) Have you decided what music you'd like us to play at the party? 你決定讓我們在晚會上演奏什么音樂?
at the party中的介詞at，一般各種會議多用at，又如：
at the wedding 在婚禮上 at the conference 在大會上
at the opening ceremony 在開幕式上 at the meeting 在會上
at the fair 在集市上 at the 11th. Asian Games 在第11屆亞運會上
at the sports meet 在運動會上 at/in the Olympic Games 在奧運會上
(2) Oh, at the end some songs that everyone's familiar with, then they can join in.噢，在結束時演奏一些大家都熟悉的歌曲，這樣大家都能唱。
familair的主語如果是有生命的事物并且表示“與……熟悉”的意思，常接介詞with,如果是無生命的事物做主語，并且表示“為……所熟悉”，常接介詞to，如：He is very familiar with the names of plants inEnglish. 他很熟悉植物的英語名稱。
Suzhou and Hangzhou are very familiar to many Chinese people.
蘇州和杭州為大多數中國人所熟悉。
(3) Well, I think at the beginning we'd rather have some fairly quiet and peaceful music. 嗯，我覺得開始時我們寧愿要一些寧靜平和的音樂。
注意fairly表示“十分”或“相當”，通常與褒義詞連用，而與它相近的副詞rather常與貶義詞連用，如：
It is fairly cool today. 今天相當涼爽。
He was rather angry at my words. 聽了我的話他非常生氣。
當然，有時候這種區別并不重要，尤其在英國英語中，如：
We were fairly caught in the trap. 我們完全掉入了陷阱。
fairly作為副詞“公正地”，是由形容詞fair派生而來，
與just和justly相同，如：
Up till the present time, the blacks of the United States are not always treated fairly.
時至今日，美國的黑人并不總是受到公平的待遇。
(4) Otherwise we won't be able to hear ourselves talk. 否則我們聽不見自己談話。
① otherwise 既是連詞，也是副詞，意為“否則”、“用其它的方法”、“在不同的情況下”，如：He was not treated in time. Otherwise he would not have died.
他沒有得到及時的治療。否則他不會死。
Obviously you think otherwise. 顯然你的想法不同。
The rent is high, but otherwise the house is quite satisfactory.
租金雖高，但在其它方面這房子還是讓人滿意的。
注意第一例中otherwise所接的是虛擬語氣，otherwise 本身相當于一個從句If he had been treated in time。
② hear sb. do 意為“聽到某人做了某事”或“聽到某人經常做某事”，如：
I heard him step upstairs, enter the room and shut the door.
我聽見他走上樓梯，走進房間，然后關上了門。
We often heard the girl recite poems when she was a little girl.
當她還是個小女孩的時候，我們經常聽她背誦詩歌。
(5) Maybe some folk songs to start with? 或許可以民歌開始?
這是一個省略句，相當于Maybe we can have some folk songs to start with。
folk 除了用作“民間的”，還可以用作名詞，與people是近義詞，如：
The town folk know him as Mr. Dickey.
鎮上的人們都知道他是迪基先生。
Do you like singing Chinese folk songs? 你喜歡唱中國民歌嗎?
(6) You have to practise a lot. 你得好好練。
practise 既是及物動詞，也是不及物動詞，接賓語時如果使用動詞，則應用動詞的 –ing 形式，而不用動詞不定式，如：
Practise speaking English every day, and soon you'll improve your spoken English.
每天練習講英語，很快就可以提高口語水平。

Teaching type: Reading comprehension
Teaching Procedure
Step 1. Pre-reading Discussion
Lead the students to enjoy some beautiful music and then ask them some warming-up questions about music.
Step 2. World music
(1) Lead-in
Music plays an important part in our life. Our world will be completely different without music. But have you noticed that people in different nations and areas have different music？ They have developed music typical to their own cultures and living conditions. Here we have some classmates with their reports on Music Around the World? I’m sure you will feel interested and learn a lot from it.
(2) Students’ reports
Five groups of students are to give their reports on different music from different nations.
(3) Evaluation
Thanks to these students. You lead us to a vast sea of music. We are able to explore many parts of world in your music.
Step 3. Presentation
Do you know what music was like at the very beginning? Could people learn new songs with this kind of books? (Showing a book full of musical notes to the Ss) Of course not. But how was music learned and taught in the ancient times?
Step 4. Reading Comprehension
(1) Scanning
Ask the students to go through the first part of the text and find out the answers to “How many important kinds of music are there?” and “How was music learned and taught in the ancient times? And why?”(There are mainly two kinds of music-written down or not. first music was not written down. The old folk music was passed down orally from one generation to another. Some old performers of music could even learn hundreds of songs by heart.)
(2) Reading
Get the students to read the Text again carefully and find out the main ideas for each paragraph:
two important kinds of music
folk music
early performers
music in the streets
(3) Retelling
Ask the students to form a short passage about music with the help of some keywords.
written down or not; earn a living;
passed down from … to …; learned from …; be about…
popular and respected; learn by heart; in praise of
performed to passers-by; coins
Step 5. Practice
(1) Listen to the tape of the whole text and do the fill-in exercise:
Fill in the missing words (the italic parts are possible answers):
There are two kinds of music in the world --- one is written down and the other is not . Folk music has been passed down from generation to another. These songs were about country life, the seasons, animals and plants, and about love and sadness in people’s lives.
Early music performers used to learn hundreds of songs by heart. They used to act and sing in praise of heroes on festivals. In this way, stories were passed on from one person to another .
African music plays an important part in people’s lives, especially for work and at festivals and wedding when people dance all night long .Indian music is not written down. But lots of modern music is also written .Caribbean music was developed by the slaves brought from Africa . West Indians make musical instruments out of large oil cans . Jazz was born in America around 1890 . It came from work song sung by black people and had its roots in Africa .

Step 2. Presentation
SB P52, Part 1. Tell the students that “Today we ‘re going to read a poem called ‘A Perfect Day’.” Play the tape for the students to follow and answer the question, “How many times do we have the phrase “perfect day” in the poem? (5 times)

(1) Is this at dawn or at dusk? (dusk)
(2) Is the writer alone or with someone? (with his friend )
(3) Is the writer meeting someone or seeing someone off? (seeing sb off)
If the ss can answer the questions well, it shows that they can understand the theme of the poem, in which case, we will go further to explore the poem.
Step 4. Theme
Tell the students to read the poem more carefully and find out the theme of poem. Possible answer: love; friendship; saying goodbye.

Tell the students to read the poem and underline the language points. Talk about the language difficulties with the students.
(1) While the chimes ring out with a carol gay
For the joy that the day has brought...
當鐘聲唱出歡樂的頌歌
為了這美好日子帶來的歡愉……

(4) gay; or joy
(5) part
Step 8. Language study
Study Part 3 and 4 with the students and if necessary explain the following to the students. (Part 4 can be done as a translation work)
本單元的三個Practice全部是圍繞 -ing 作定語這一問題的。動詞的-ing形式作定語，主要注意三個方面：
① 形式(以動詞be為例) doing...being done
注意不可用完成時態。如：
Who's that boy playing basketball there? 那個打籃球的男孩是誰?
The meeting being held now is about the opening ceremony.
正在舉行的會議是有關開幕式的。
不可說：
（x）This is the train having arrived.
（x）The boy having been beaten was crying.
遇到上述情況應改用定語從句。
② 位置
一般單個的-ing形式放在被修飾的詞前面，而詞組放在被修飾的詞后面，如：
the burning house 正在燃燒的房屋
the house smoking heavily 正在冒濃煙的房屋
③ 主動與被動
the boy beating the drums 正在打鼓的男孩
the girl reading aloud 正在朗誦的女孩
the rising sun 正在升起的太陽
the changing world 正在改變的世界
the boy being beaten 正在挨打的男孩
the poem being read aloud 正在被誦讀的詩歌
the code being changed 正在被改變的密碼
注意：一般只有及物動詞的 -ing 形式可以改變為被動式being done。
