Teaching Procedures
STEP 1 Reading the text together

Get the students to read the text together. And then give them a very simple outline of the passage
and help the students to retell the text.
At the school gate,….
On the way, ….
At the gate of the World Park, ….
Inside the World park, ….
The best part of the day, ….
Photos of the trip
Get the student to finish Part B, Page 42. Check the answers and read the dialogue.
STEP 2 Reading the text again
Get the students to read the text again. Get the students to work in groups of four and try to figure
out what each paragraph is about.
Part 1 A brief introduction to the trip. (Para 1)
Part 2 On the way to the Park(Para. 2)
Part 3 At the gate of the Park(Para. 3)
Part 4 Inside the Park(Para. 4-6)
Part 5 Photos of the trip (Para. 7)
STEP 3 Reading the passage paragraph by paragraph
Have a wonderful time
Get some of the students to read the passage paragraph by paragraph focusing on explaining the language points.
A brief introduction to the trip
invite sb. to do sth.

(not) enjoy it at the beginning

Got on a coach, take about 2 hours

On the city roads, a lot traffic

On the highway, get better
It was boring
On the way to the park

feel sick for most of the trip
A day out

The sky was blue and everything was beautiful

See the Eiffel Tower, became excited
At the gate of the Park

go off (not) feel sick
go into the park and enjoy ourselves

There are models of a hundred places of interest from all over the world

The Pyramids, like the real ones
Inside the park

couldn’t believe one’s eyes
Golden Gate Bridge, like the one back home

teach oneself how to make a home page
Photos of the trip

Go and see for yourself!
Put his photos on it for everyone to look at

One thing to mention here is that I don’t mean to give the student such a huge structure to copy or to remember. What I want to do here is to help the students get the relations between paragraph and paragraph, between sentence sentences. This will definitely help them to improve their writing ability as well as the ability to organize their oral speeches.
STEP 4 Reading the sentences
As we are figuring out the outline, read the sentences and stop where language points can be
located.
1) Kitty’s teacher Mr. Wu invited me to join in their school trip to the World Park. (L. 4 – 5)
Yesterday morning Mr. Wu and the other students met Kitty and me at the school gate. (L. 7 – 8)
2) Then we got on a coach. (L. 8)
We all got off quickly. (L. 15)
3) The trip from Kitty’s school took about two hours. (L. 8 – 9)
It took about two hours from Kitty’s school to the World Park in Beijing.
4) There was a lot of traffic on the city roads but it got better when we were on the highway. (L. 9 – 11)
The music was great. (L. 25)
5) Finally, we arrived at the World Park. (L. 12)
6) The sky was blue and everything was blue. (L. 12 – 13)
7) We became very excited when we saw the Eiffel Tower from the coach!(L. 13 – 14)
It (The trip) was boring. (L. 9)
It was an amazing day. (L. 24)
8) Kitty and I did not feel sick any more. (L. 15 – 16)
9) We just wanted to go into the park and enjoy ourselves.(L. 16 – 17)
Go and see for yourself! (L. 29)
10) There are over a hundred places of interest from all over the world. (L. 19)
over = more than
11) The pyramids looked just like the real ones in Egypt. (L. 21)
The Golden Gate Bridge looked just like the one back home too. (L. 21 – 22)
12) You can see some photos of the trip on the Internet. (L. 27)
13) Kitty’s classmate Daniel taught himself how to make a home page.(L.27 – 28)
14) He put his photos on it for everyone to look at. (L. 29)
Well, I don’t think it is a good way, if you just read, underline and then translate. What we should do here, form my point of view, is to get the students to find more sentences. Then use some consolidation exercises to check.
STEP 5 Homework
a. Try to recite the passage by following the outline.
b. Finish off the exercises in the Evaluation Handbook and Learning English.
