Unit 6 A Charity Walk
Unit opening:
Background information
Charity walks are a popular way to raise money for charity. Participants are expected to gather sponsors who pledge either a set amount of money or a certain amount per kilometer walked. After the walk, participants collect the money from their sponsors and send it in to the charity.
Charity walks can range from a few kilometers to hundreds of kilometers. The number of participants varies too. In some cases, a single individual will undertake an extremely long walk, such as across a continent, to raise money and awareness for a certain cause.

understanding.
e.g.

What does Hobo need? (some more food)
How does Eddie feel about supporting charities? (meaningful)
Step2. Ask Ss to read with partner and try to perform Hobo and Eddie according to the comic strip. Then ask three or four pairs to perform this conversation before the class.
Step3. Pay attention to the important point
‘It is’ + adjective (+ ‘for sb’) + ‘to’-infinitive.
e.g. It is very important for us to learn English well.
It is necessary to protect the environment.
It is good for you to eat an apple every day.
Step4. Organizing a charity show
Ask Ss to plan their own charity events about a charity walk and design a web page to advertise the event if possible.
Welcome to the unit
Step1. Tell Ss that they may meet many people who need help. Ss may know the poor, the blind, etc. Teach them more about the people who need help, such as
A deaf person cannot hear.
A homeless person has no home.
An elderly person means an old person.
If a person is disable, it means a part of his/her body does not work properly.
A pregnant woman means a woman is having a baby.
Step2. Tell students to label the pictures in Part A using the words from the box. Ask volunteers to read out the answers.
Step3. Ask students to make a list of things they would find most difficult to do or they would miss most if they were blind, deaf, elderly, homeless, physically disabled or poor.
Step4. Divide the class into pairs. Ask students to talk about what they want people to help them if they were blind, deaf, elderly, homeless, physically disabled or poor.
If students have trouble coming up with ideas, offer some suggestions.
e.g.
For people in wheelchairs, wide sidewalks, ramps and automatic doors are helpful.
For poor people, education programs that allow them to get better jobs are helpful. Free medical care and affordable housing are also helpful.
Blind people can benefit from Braille sings, spoken announcements rather than written notices, contoured pavements and unobstructed sidewalks.
Elderly people can benefit from public transit that is easy to board, places to sit down outdoors and escalators or lifts instead of stairs.
For homeless people, shelters and soup kitchens can offer short-term help.
Deaf people can benefit from written notices and a greater awareness of sign language.
Step5. Divide the class into pairs. Ask students to read Amy and Daniel’s conversation in Part B. Then ask them to talk about the people in Part A and how their lives might be made easier. Less able students can use Amy and Daniel’s conversation as a model and replace the underlined words with their own ideas. More able students can create their own conversations.
Step6. Give Ss a few minutes to practice their conversation. Remind them that they should practice as much as they can. Then ask some pairs to act out their conversation.
