Step I Revision and lead-in
Show the following picture on the screen and ask the students to talk about the use of it.
T: As we all know, mobile phones play a very important role in our life. Nearly everyone has a mobile phone. Now please work in pairs and talk about what you can use it to do.
Sample dialogue:
A: Mobile phones are really useful. I find I can’t do anything without a mobile at hand.
B: What do you use a mobile to do?
A: I use it to connect with my friends and parents.
B: I use it to communicate people and play music.
A: I bought a new one the day before yesterday. It can record films. Now I use it to see films.
B: It has more use now. If we want to take some photos when we visit certain places without a camera at hand, we can use a mobile phone to take photos.
…
Step II Reading
First ask students to talk about the picture on page 28.
T: At the right bottom of the page we can see a picture. Now please look and say what is happening in the picture.
Ask students to work in pairs and talk about it.
A: A cook is taking photos of the snake in the fridge using a mobile.
B: Why does he do that?
A: Maybe he is doing some research on the snakes.
B: One of his fingers is wrapped. Maybe he is bitten by the snake.
A: You are right. Perhaps he is taking photos of the snake to show the doctors.
…
Ask students to read the passage to check their guesses.
T: What would you do if a snake bites you?
S: I would wash the bite with clean water first and then go to the doctor’s.
S: I would go to see the doctor right away.
S: I would kill the snake first and then go to see the doctor.
…
T: Which of you is right? Now look at the title of the passage. What can we learn from the title of the passage?
S: We often use these words when we take a photo.
S: So the man in the picture must be taking a photo of the snake.
T: But why does the man take photo for a snake? Is he doing it for a research or anything else? Now read the passage quickly and find out.
After reading, ask some students to answer the questions.
Then ask them to read the passage again and try to finish activities 5 and 6 on their own.
Step III Writing
Ask students to write a short story.
T: As we can see from the passage, it is very important to make good use of the new technology. If you are in danger, for example, if a snake bites you, you can take a photo of the snake quickly and show it to the doctor. In fact, we have many examples of using new technology to help us get away, or even save us from trouble or danger. Next please write a short story how a mobile phone saved someone’s life.
Sample version:
A jeweler shot at by a thief was saved by his mobile phone.
One bullet missed but a second struck Darren Prior in the chest. Unbelievably, Mr Prior's mobile phone saved his life.
He was fired at as he chased a criminal across the square and into an alleyway called Pump Alley.
He carried on the chase even though the bullet had missed him by inches.
He was then shot at again. The second bullet run through the breast pocket of Mr Prior's suit, hit his mobile phone and broke the battery.
Mr Prior told one officer it was a miracle he was not hurt. Detective Inspector Jo Wainwright, leading the inquiry, said: “There is no doubt the phone has saved him from serious injury.”
Mr Prior was interviewed yesterday at Horsham police station to help detectives trace the gunman.
