Step I Lead-in
T: Nowadays, many people have various kinds of beautiful dreams. Do you have any dreams? Today we’ll learn a new passage about dreams.

Step II Before you read (Section 1: P58)
Ask the Ss to look at the cartoon on P58.
T: Please open your books and turn to page 58. Look at the short dialogue in the cartoon. Who would like to read it to us? Volunteer?
Ask two Ss to read the two sentences.
T: Their wishes are not bad and easy to come true. Do you think so?
Ss: Yes.
T: Here I have two important words that both describe the things you wish to realize in the future. Do you know what the two words are?
Ss: Dream and hope.
T: Then what’s your hope? And what’s your dream? Write them down in the chart.
Sample answers:
My hope is that my parents can buy a new bicycle for me next month.
My dream is that one day I can fly my own plane crossing the Pacific to America.
...
T: Then can you tell me the differences between them?
Ss: Dream means ambition or ideal, especially when it is unrealistic while hope means desire for sth. to happen, combined with the expectation.

Step III Reading (Section 2; 3a, 3b: P58-59 )
T: I find some of your hopes and dreams are the same, while others are quite different. But I still think most teenagers have a lot of dreams generally. Let’s read the following passage and find out the general idea of this passage?
S1: It is about our hopes and dreams.
S2: It is an article about teenagers’ hopes and dreams.
T: Now please read the text again and then answer the following questions.
Show the following.
1. Why do some students want to start work as soon as possible?
2. What is important to students about the work they do?
3. What example is given as an impossible dream?
Sample answers:
1. Because they want to help provide better lives for their parents.
2. Money is important, and the work should also be what they like.
3. A few said they dream of going to the moon one day.

Step IV After you read (3c: P59)
T: In the text the author told us a lot about Chinese teenagers’ dreams. Do you think there is anyone in the world who hasn’t hopes or dreams? And do you think all the dreams can come true? What about foreign students? Do they have dreams? Are their dreams different from ours? Now read again and find out.
S1: I think anyone in the world has dreams or hopes. Teenagers in China more or less have the same dreams as foreign students. Some dreams are realistic, so they can come true. But still there are lots of dreams that can’t be realized. Because even if we have got the ability, we haven’t the opportunity. So we must have realistic hopes and dreams and try our best to realize them.
...
T: Very good.

Step V Go For It! (Section 4: P59)
T: Everyone has a dream and I believe there is no exception to you. Now, please write down a dream you have on a piece of paper. Then work with your partners and make a plan.
A sample version:
I want to be mayor of Tianjin in the future.
Your partner: It is a good dream. But it’s a bit difficult to achieve. Now I can help you make a plan: you must study hard at school, and then you can enter a famous university and enhance your abilities in every aspect. Besides, you must know a lot about Tianjin.

Step VI Homework
T: After class, please write something about your dream and tell us how to achieve it.

一、拓展阅读： What makes a city great?
世界上有很多城市因其独有的特色而令人神往。这其中有什么奥秘呢？请听亚特兰大市市长是怎样说的。
Q: You’ve been mayor since 1975, and you’ve succeeded in turning the downtown into a success story. What would you say is your secret?
A: Well, I don’t have any secrets. I work hard, as someone once said, whether it was Mark Twain or somebody, “the harder I worked, the luckier I got.” And then, with the city and particularly with the downtown area, it’s having a good strategic plan.
Q: Well, what do you think happens when someone wants it to be a tourist attraction?
A: I mean, it’s great. Tourism is very important for our economy. That kind of goes without saying. The thing is, if you make a city great for its citizens, people want to come visit. I mean, you go to Paris because it’s a great place to live in. People love living in Paris. It’s not because someone said, there’s some great tourist attractions in Paris. For Atlanta, I think it’s important to know we’re not building something to attract more tourists; it will do that. We’re building something for us as citizens of Atlanta. Whether we’re children or great-grandparents, it will be another element that makes things more interesting or worthwhile.
Q: There are some who say Atlanta is a nice place to live in, but not necessarily a place people think of visiting for its own sake.
A: I’ll tell you what it is, this is the difference: Living is not just the private realm (私人领地) that you own; it is a public realm that you share. And so you make the public realm, the downtown, the midtown, the main streets, the aquariums more interesting and desirable for the citizens who live there; then you have a public realm of greater interest for those who would want to come visit.
