Divide the class into groups of three or four. Talk about the questions. If they think the topics are too difficult for them, the teacher can add the content: “What do you want to be in the future? Why?”
This question is easier than the others. They can talk a lot about the topic. Now lead them talk about the future, the dream and the life. It seems easier now.
Step2.Listen to the tape and then let the students say the main idea about the text.
S1: It deals with the future.
S2: They talk about the life.
S3: What is success?
S4: Why are people different from animals?
Then the teacher sum what they say. It tells us the life’s meaning. It leads us to think about the life. Now we are living on the earth. Some of us are happy. Others are sad. When we are free, we can think about these questions.
Step3. Read the text. Let they underline the language points of this text. Ask the students to solve the problems. They can use dictionaries and ask the teacher if necessary. The teacher helps them some on the blackboard.
Encourage the students to make sentences with the following language points:

S5: He succeeded in finding a new way to do with the rubbish.
S6: We all know he will succeed in the future.
S7: Would you like some more?
S8: We need ten more people.
S9: Don’t make them too happy.
S10: The students must keep the classroom clean.
Step4. Come to “PROJECT”.
Divide the class into several groups. Let every group write the questions that they want to know on a piece of paper. Then they exchange the paper with another group. They can ask the questions in class
Take your questions home. Ask your family members about the questions. First ask your parents and write their answers down. Then ask your grandparents the questions and write their answers down.
Bring the answers to school. Discuss their answers in groups. Let’s see if they have any differences between their answers. Discuss why these differences exist.
Now in the group discuss the last question: What did you learn from this project.
In this project, we try to find the secret of life. When we are in different age, we have different realizations to life. When we are older, we will know much about the life.
Step5: Homework

Go on the next reading in the student book.
Summary:
Don’t you think life is a strange thing? Discuss the questions Li Ming and Wang Mei asks in groups. Then encourage them to ask more questions about life. Give them time to search on the Internet to know the secret of the life. Group activities are good styles of discussing. More practice will give the students more chances to practice their spoken English.
