Boy2: Yeah, it’s new. I really like it. I like clothes that are unusual.
Boy1: Yeah, me too. Say… is that a new book over there?
Boy2: Yes, it is. It’s a book about volleyball. It tells about how to become a good player.
Boy1: Is it good?
Boy2: Yeah, it’s great. I like writers who explain things well.
Boy1: Me too. Ummmm, Michael?
Boy2: Yes?
Boy1: Uhhh… Where did you get that movie poster?
Boy2: Oh, the Monster Lizard poster? My brother got it for me. He works at a movie theater.
Boy1: It’s a great poster.
Boy2: Yeah, it is. I love movies that are about monsters, don’t you?
Boy1: I sure do. Say… Michael… Do you think your brother could get a Monster Lizard poster for me
Boy2: Probably. I’ll ask him.
Boy1: That would be great.
Find out all the expressions in their talk and copy them after class into your phrase book.

2b Listening and writing
You are going to listen to the dialogue again and write what Michael likes and why he likes each thing.
What Michael likes Why he likes it
jacket He likes clothes that are unusual.
book He likes writers who explain things well.
movie He loves movies that are about monsters.
2c Doing groupwork
In groups you are to discuss your favorite things from activity 1. Say why you like each thing.
I like movies that that are sad. I love “Sinking Ship”. Oh, I don’t. I like movies that have scary monster. I really like “A Headless Man”.
I like writers who explain things well. Oh, I don’t. I like writers that describe feelings well.
3a Reading and circling
On page 48 are three reviews. Circle the things the reviewers like, and underline what they don’t like.
While you are reading them the second time, darken all the relative clauses and useful expressions.
Yellow River Fishermen
This is Hong Tao’s latest movie. I like Hong Tao. He’s made some great movies over the years. Unfortunately, this is the worst movie. If you’re looking for entertainment, stay at home and watch TV. Yellow River Fisherman is too long, and it’s really boring. It does have a few good features, though. I thought the fisherman’s wife was really funny.
Amy Kim, Photography
Be sure to see this exhibition at the Lido Gallery. Amy Kim is one of the best known Chinese photographers in the world today, and some of her best loved photos are on display in this exhibition. She really has something for everyone. There are many great photos of people and of the countryside. The few city photographs are less successful. I see the same things every day and they don’t interest me as much. But this is a great show from a world class photographer. Whatever you do, don’t miss the exhibition.
Wild and Windy
Over the years, we’ve seen musical groups with pretty strange names come and go. Few have stranger names than this band. As the name suggests, the band has lots of energy. And they play the kind of music that I love to hear. Every song is really loud and often you can’t understand the words, but this is okay because the lyrics aren’t very good. However, these are musicians who make us happy- even on a Monday morning！
3b Reading and completing
Read the three reviews again to find information to complete the chart on page 48.
Pros Cons
Movies The fisherman’s wife was funny. It is too long, and really boring.
Exhibition Amy Kim the few city photographs
Band the kind of music the lyrics
3c Writing a review
What is the last book you read? What is the last CD you listened to? What is the last movie you saw? Write a review of either the book, the CD or the movie.
Lighthousekeeping By Jeannette Winterson
Harcourt
An orphan taken in by a blind lighthouse keeper finds his stories provide keys to find the way out of her own past's darkness. Lighthousekeeping is a moving, poetic story of journeys into light and the power of storytelling, recommended for older teens who will relish the lyrical language. Trashcan Joe: Wrong Side of Town
I couldn't be more excited to announce Trashcan Joe on CD Baby. I first heard these guys at a birthday party in Taiyuan. Let me tell you, as soon as these guys start playing on their instruments, everyone shuts up and dances along. There is an unmistakable genius in this catchy mix of 1920's style jazz, folk and blues that leaves all the others in the dust. Dark Water
Dark Water is a Japanese ghost story turned into a American motion picture. Dark Water has plenty of creepy moments, but few scares, and it becomes bogged down in setup. The payoff is also a little disappointing in that it mines familiar territory, offering little that's original or surprising.
4 Filling in the calendar
On page 48 is a calendar. You are going to fill in it with events to happen next week in your city.
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
A Yellow River Photography Exhibition will be put on display. A movie called Sinking Hearts will be shown. A polar bear will be giving birth to a young polar bear.

Subject: Hong Kong From: Lingling
Dear pen pal,
I’m having a great time in Hong Kong, although I have to be honest and say that I prefer Shanghai. Still, it’s a great place to visit and I’m lucky to be here for my six-month English course. Some other students are learning French. I might like to learn some too. What languages would you like to learn?
There’s just so much to see and do here. Last night I went to a Chinese music concert. Most of my friends like loud music that they can dance to. I prefer quiet, traditional music so the concert suited me just fine. What kinds of music do you like?
Before the concert we went for Italian food. Do you like it? There’re lots of different kinds of food here. I don’t know what to try next. What kinds of food do you prefer?
My host family is taking me over to an Indian film festival next weekend. I’m not sure what to expect because I’ve never seen an Indian film. Have you? Some people say they’re boring, others say they’re great. What kinds of films do you prefer?
Yours,
Lingling
This a reply to Lingling.
Dear Ling Ling,
I’m glad to get your e-mail. I have never been to in Hong Kong, although it is part of China. To be honest I prefer Beijing. Still, it’s a great place to visit. I am lucky to receive your e-mail. Some other students are learning Japanese in my school. I might like to learn some too. But right I am learning English that is your native language.
There’s just so much to see here in Beijing. Last night I went to a Western Movie Exhibition. Most of my friends like American West movies that tell about your frontier history. I prefer Indian movies that has gentle music so the exhibition does not suit me well. What kinds of movie do you like?
Before the exhibition we went for French drinks. Do you like them? There’re lots of different kinds of drinks here. I don’t know what to drink next. What kinds of drink do you prefer?
My mother is taking me over to New York next weekend. I’m not sure what to expect because I’ve never been abroad. Give me some advice for going to your country for a sightseeing trip. Some people say New York is boring, others say it is great. What is your comment?
Yours,
Ma Hongsheng

Reading: I only eat food that tastes good.
Before you read, go over the vocabulary list for reading on page150. Try to make a story out of the words listed.
While you read, underline all the expressions, circle all the relative clauses and blacken all linking words.
How important is keeping healthy to you? A group of young people got together to discuss this question. Here’s part of their discussion.
PETER: I’d like to stay healthy, but to be honest, I only eat food that tastes good. And if food tastes good, it’s usually bad for you, isn’t it? Cola tastes better than water, for example.
KIM: Well, food that is bad for you can taste good！But I prefer not to eat too much food that is fried, like, er, French fries. Do you ear fast food, Laura?
LAURA: Do I eat fast food? Never！I love to eat food that is healthy. I want to take care of my health, so I eat mainly fruit and vegetables. Oh！And I stay away from sugar, you do too, don’t you?
KIM: Hm, yes. I’d stay away from cola and sweet desserts if I were you. And I think most people are in agreement that fruit and vegetables are good for health. But, um, I would say that fast food itself isn’t always bad for you, but too much of it is not good.
LAURA: Actually, don’t you know that it’s been found in laboratory testing that some types of oil are really bad for us? So I don’t eat anything that’s been cooked in oil. Also, did you know that some foods might cause cancer? Like burnt barbecued meat. I’ve heard eating burnt food like this can increase the risk of cancer.
PETER: Really！But I love to eat meat that’s well cooked, even if it is a little burnt. It’s delicious, and meat isn’t really dangerous, is it?
LAURA: Oh！Yes, it is！I never eat meat. It’s not at all good for our health. If I were you, I’d eat nuts instead.
KIM: Well, I agree it’s good to eat lots of fruit and vegetables, but I think it’s also fine to eat some meat or fish. People who eat a balanced diet should be healthier than those who only eat biscuits and hamburgers, shouldn’t they? I prefer to only eat food that I like, but isn’t it important to eat food that’s healthy, even if you don’t like it? The main thing is to
have a good balance.
After you read, jot down all the useful phrases into your phrasebook.
Keep healthy, a group of…, get together, discuss this question, part of …, stay healthy, to be honest, taste good, bad for…, for example, eat fast food, take care of…, stay away from…, in agreement, be cooked in oil, cause cancer, burnt barbecued meat, eat burnt food, increase the risk of cancer, eat meat, not at all good for, eat nuts, eat lots of fruit and vegetables, be also fine to eat some meat or fish, eat a balanced diet, eat biscuits and hamburgers, prefer to only eat food, have a good balance
Part 2: Teaching Resources (第二部分：教学资源)
I.What is music?
Music is the art of making sound by human voice or special instruments like violin, oboe, trumpet, drum and so on.
In music, sounds are arranged in time to give a pleasing result. There are many different kinds of music.
Music is written using note symbols on a staff, a series of horizontal lines. The pitch of the note depends on which line the note is on. The notes are separated into measures using vertical lines on the staff.
II. What is healthy eating?
Healthy eating is the act of following a balanced nutritional diet. Because our ideas of what counts as "healthy" change, according to scientific advances in the field of nutrition, along with personal and cultural considerations, accepted standards of healthy eating differ from person to person, and throughout history.
Many governments and other organisations provide nutritional advice and launch schemes in order to promote healthy eating. Diets which lead to obesity (being severely overweight), diabetes, and other medical conditions, are a severe drain of resources for national health providers, and on businesses due to reduced productivity of staff.
A recent health campaign by the British government has attempted to impress the need to eat lots of fruit and vegetables using the slogan "5 a day". Adverts have given examples of what a portion of fruit or vegetables amounts to, and how 5 or more portions can be incorporated into one's diet.
Governments also put pressure on businesses to promote healthy food options, and regularly consider measures, such as banning the advertising of fast food, or taxing foods which are high in fat.
