Step1 Greetings and lead-in
T：Good morning/afternoon，everyone.
Ss：Good morning/afternoon teacher.
T：Sit down，please.I’m very glad to be your English teacher and willing to give you lessons.First，let’ s introduce each other.First I introduce myself to you now.My name is...My hobbies are... My purpose is...in this term.What about you？Hello，what’s your name？Nice to know you.（Go around the class and get individual Ss to introduce themselves.）
T：From now on，we have known each other.I hope I’m not only your teacher，but also your good friend in the future.Do you think so？
Ss：Yes.
Step 2 Warming up
T：Today we’re going to learn Unit 1 “Friendship”.What is a friend？A British newspaper once offered a prize for the best definition of a friend.If you were the editor，choose the best one from the following entries（条目），and explain why.
□A friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out.
□One who understands my silence.
□To have a good friend，you need to be a good friend.
□A friend in need is a friend in deed.
□Friends are just the people who share your happiness and sorrow.
□Friends are there （or here） for two reasons：to be used，or to use you.
□No putting you in a difficult position.
□True friendship does not exist.
□Friends are the angels sent by God for you to love.
□Friendship is like dating without the kissing and sex.
□Knowing no matter what，you’ll always have a special place in their heart，and they’ll have one in yours；and loving them completely for who they are.
□When you look at your watch at 4 a.m.，but still know you can call them and wake them up，and they’ll still want to talk to you，that’s friendship.
S1：In my opinion，“To have a good friend，you need to be a good friend.” is the best one.Kindness is a hard thing to give away.It keeps coming back to the giver.We often get back what we give.
T：OK.Any different idea？
S2：My feeling is that “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” is the best definition of a friend.We are living in a material society.Many people make friends to achieve their goals.They only want to share with your happiness.Only when we are in trouble can we tell whether they are sincere.
……
T：Very good.Your opinions are all right.Do you all have friends？
Ss：Yes.
Step 3
T：But are you a good friend？Or，are you good to your friends？Let’s make a survey in Warming up.
T：OK，time is up.Ask several students how many points they can get.As we all see，most of you are good to your friends.
Step 4
T：Now I’d like you to discuss the following four questions：
（show them on the screen）
1.Why do you need friends？
2.What do you think a good friend should be like？
3.Does a friend always have to be a person？Why？
4.Do you think a diary can become your friend？Why or why not？
（The students prepare the questions for a few minutes）
T：OK.Who’d like to answer the first question？
S1：If I’m in trouble，my friends will help me.
S2：I don’t feel lonely with a friend.
S3：A friend can make me happy.
T：Great.Who can answer question two？
S1：I think a friend should be loyal，wise and brave.
S2：A good friend is someone who shares sweet and sour with you.
S3：In my view，a good friend should be kind and funny.When I am bored，he can entertain me.When I am lonely，he keeps me company.
T：Wonderful.What about the third question？
S1：Let me try.I don’t think a friend has always to be a person.Anything that helps us can be our friend.
S2：A person may sometime hurt you，while the other things may not.
S3：...
T：Now let’s come to the last question.
S1：I think a diary can become my best friend.Because my human friends sometimes may bore us，but my diary never wearies me with its company.
S2：Whenever and wherever I am，I can share my secrets with it.
S3：Maybe someday a good friend will turn against you，but a diary will never be.
T：Great，you’ve done very well.
Step 5
T：You all did a good job.Just now we held a heated discussion about friends.We know a friend should be the person who laughs with you during the good times and have a shoulder for you to cry during those not-so-good times.Today we are going to learn a passage titled “Anne’s best friend”.First let’s look at some words.

1.My Four Best Friends
Anyone has his own friend.Some think their teachers，classmates or neighbors are their best friends.Others think books，dictionaries，computers and so on are their best friends.However，you’ll never guess what my best friend is unless I tell you.That’s four words—wisdom，courage，dream and confidence.
Wisdom means doing things with my head but not without a certain way or purpose.When we do something，we should think it over before we start.As Karl Marx said， “The chance is always falling on those who are prepared.”We should always make up our minds and get ready for the chance as we don’t know when it will come.And what’s more，“It’s never too old to learn” should be known.In order to make myself wiser and wiser，I have already read many books such as books about history，literature，science and I think I will read more.
Courage does not mean thinking and doing as a hero does，it means whenever I decide to do what I think is right or worth doing，I’ll do it and never stop until I do it well.For example，last month，our teacher of labor skills offered us materials for making a radio.As it was difficult for us，many gave up.I thought it was a good chance to improve skill and I spent a long time doing it.Though I assembled it successfully，it couldn’t give out a single sound，even noise.I was just about to give it up when my friend― “courage” encouraged me to try again，finally I made it work.
Dream means being full of pretty dreams for the future.As a middle school student，it’s certain that I have a lot of dreams for the future
