Step 1. Revision and Lead-in
Ask one or more students to show their work.
T: In the last unit, you were asked to do a project on a famous person’s childhood and how he /she became successful. Now who’d like to display your project on the classroom wall?
Sample project:
Edison’s childhood
There are many stories about what Edison was like as a child. They all show that from an early age, Edison was curious about the world around him and always tried to teach himself through reading and experiments.
Surprisingly, little “Al”Edison, who was the last of seven children in his family, did not learn to talk until he was almost four years old. Immediately thereafter, he began pleading with every adult he met to explain the workings of just about everything he met. If they said they didn’t know, he would look them straight in the eye with his deeply set and lovely blue-green eyes and ask them: “Why?”
At age 11, Tom’s parents tried to teach him how to use the resources of the local library. This led him to prefer learning through independent self instruction.
By age 12, Tom had already become an “adult” . He not only talked his parents into letting him go to work selling newspapers, snacks, and candy on the railroad, but also had started an entirely separate business selling fruits and vegetables...
By 14, Tom became totally deaf in his left ear, and approximately 80% deaf in his right ear. He once said that the worst thing about this condition was that he was unable to enjoy the beautiful sounds of singing birds.
One of the most significant events in Tom’s life now occurred when — as a reward for his heroism — the boy’s grateful father taught him how to master the use of Morse code and the telegraph.
In 1869, when Edison was twenty-two years old, he patented his first invention and advertised that he “would hereafter devote his full time to bringing out his inventions.”
Over the next years, Edison’s progress in creating successful inventions for industry really took off.
Then ask the students to tell what they can learn from Edison.
S: Edison once said, “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.” As for students, we should make no excuse in our learning process and work hard every day to achieve our goals.
T: Edison had a really different childhood from us. He was the greatest inventor in the nineteenth century. Of all his inventions, electric bulb, is one of the most important. But just imagine what the world would be if there is no electric bulb? Today we’re going to learn how to talk about things that haven’t happened.
Step 2. Listing and Speaking
Ask the students to read the picture on Page 26.
T: When we talk about things that haven’t happened, we can use the words I would or I’d. Now look at the picture on Page 26. What can you see in the picture?
S: We can see some people, a school, a zoo, a research lab, a bank.
T: What are the people in the lower part of the picture doing?
S1: Maybe they are thinking about the answers to the question shown in the picture.
S2: The woman is reading a newspaper and they are all thinking of the answers to the question.
T: Pretend you are the people in the picture, what would you do if you had a million dollars?
S3: I’d buy a beautiful car.
(Write: Buy a beautiful car on the blackboard.)
S4: I’d build a research lab.
S5: I’d give it to the Hope Project.
S6: I’d travel around the world.
S7: I’d give it to medical research.
…
Ask for more ideas from the students. Write their ideas on the blackboard.
buy a beautiful car, travel around the world, give it to the Hope Project,
build a school for the poor children, build a library for our school, build a research
lab…
Show the following to the students and then ask them to practise in pairs.
—What would you do if you have a million dollars?
—I would (I’d) ____________.
T: Now work in pairs and make dialogues.
Sample dialogues:
1. — What would you do if you saw someone stealing something?
— I’d call the police.
2. — What would you do if you lost your bike?
— I’d buy a new one.
3. — What would you do if you saw a girl crying in the street?
— I’d help her find her mother.
4. — What would you do if the teacher asked you to sing a song to the class?
— I’d sing a song.
5. — What would you do if you found a wallet in the street?
— I’d give it to the police.
Step 3. Listening
Ask the students to listen to the recording and compare their answers with those in the
recording.
T: Next we’ll hear a conversation about how to spend a million dollars. The recording will be played twice. For the first time, listen to get the order you hear.
Play the tape for the first time.
T: For the second time, please number the pictures in the order you hear them.
Play the tape for the second time. Then check the answers.
Step 4. Homework
1. Ask the students to do more practice as required in 1c on Page 26.
2. Ask the students to prepare for the next period. Think about if you have any worries or problems in daily life.

Teaching procedures & ways (教学过程和方式)
Step 1. Revision
Ask the students to share their ideas about what their worries at first, and then listen to the recording talking about worries.
T: What do you worry about during listening?
S1: I’m worried about that I can’t follow the speakers.
T: Then what would you do?
S2: I would try to get as much information as possible.
Ask the other students if they have any other good ideas to help.
T: What are your worries?
S2: My worry is my PE /little brother.
Step 2. Listening Practice
Ask the students to do listening to the dialogue about Larry’s worries.
T: Yes. Nearly everyone has some worries everyday. When we haven’t got enough money, we might worry about food, clothes, houses, cars, etc. But if we had a lot of money, we would worry about how to spend it. To cut it short, worries come along with money. Next we’re going to listen to a recording about Larry’s worries. Before we do this, let’s look at the picture on Page 27 first. Look! The boy is getting ready to go somewhere and he is feeling a little nervous. His sister’s helping him pick out what to wear. Now listen and find out what Larry’s worry is. For the first time, just listen.
Play the recording for the first time.
T: Listen again and circle the answers in the box.
Play the recording for the second time. Then check the answers.
T: You’ll hear the same conversation again. This time check the things that Larry’s sister says to him and fill in your answers on the line.
Play the recording again, then check the answers.
T: After listening, we know that Larry had a lot of worries before going to Tom’s party. If I were Larry, I would bring a flower as a present. What would you do? Now make dialogues using the pattern.
Show the following on the screen.
What would you do if you were Larry?
If I were Larry, I’d…
Sample dialogues:
S1: What would you do if you were Larry?
S2: If I were Larry, I would bring a birthday cake.
S3: What would you do if you were Larry?
S4: I would bring him some chocolates, because chocolate is his favorite.
…
Step 3. Reading
T: Maybe we all have kinds of worries or problems everyday. For example, some students are worried about their English or other subjects; some are worried about what to wear everyday, etc. And most of us are always ready to help others who have problems and worries. But before your help, you should get to know first, what are the worries or problems of others.
Ask the students to read the column in 3a on Page 28.
T: Now you will read the short passages on page 28 of the textbook and match each problem on the left with the correct advice on the right. Then point to the blank line in each item in the first column and ask students to write the letter of the correct advice from the second column.
T: Next please write the letter of the correct advice from the second column here.
Check the answers.
Step 4. Role Play
Ask the students to act out the conversation in pairs.
T: The exercises above provide us only one type of advice for each problem. Now think of different advice for the problems in activity 3a. Work in pairs and roles play conversations with your partner.
Sample conversations：
1. —I’m really shy and I just don’t enjoy parties. I don’t know what to say or do.
What should I do?
—If I were you, I’d talk to people I don’t know.
2. —I get nervous before big parties and then I get pimples. They look terrible! What should I do?
—If I were you, I’d try to talk to someone and forget about the parties.
3. —I can’t sleep at night before I take a big exam. Then I’m too tired to do well.
What should I do?
—If I were you, I’d do some sports or drink some milk before going to bed.
