文化意识：体会“读万卷书，行万里路”的旅游文化效益。教材结构： 1.1 “热身”（Warming up）部分让学生想象自己住在青海，要去东南亚旅游。要求他们选择三个不同的地方并查出不同交通方式及所需费用。然后与同学讨论六个问题，使学生了解旅游的必要手段和必备的费用。1.2 “读前”（Pre-reading）部分的两个问题主要是引导学生向阅读部分过渡。
“阅读”（Reading）部分“湄公河旅行游记”（JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG）的第一部分讲述了王坤和王薇梦想沿湄公河做自行车旅行,并为之做准备的过程;文章的第二部分A NIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINS 放在“语言运用部分”中，主要讲述了他们在西藏山中度过的一宿，爬山路的艰苦及乐趣。

教学过程 Step 1 Lead-in 1.Enjoy the music “青藏高原” 2.Appreciate the beauty of Tibet.3.Ask students several questions about the pictures, e.g.What do you think of these pictures? What’s the weather like there? Do you want to go there? etc.4.Talking about Tibet.Have you ever been to Tibet? Do you want to travel in Tibet? Can you tell me something about Tibet?
Tibet lies on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of the southwest border of China.The average height of the whole region is more than 4,000 meters above sea level, for which Tibet is known as “Roof of the World”.The highest peak of Tibet, also the highest in Himalayas and in the whole world, is Everest Peak, which is as high as 8,846.27 meters above sea level.Although a part of China, Tibet has a unique culture of all its own.It is mainly inhabited by Tibetans, a minority nationality of old and mysterious people.Tourist attractions include the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Jokhang Temple, and a number of Buddhist sacred places.Tibet(Xi Zang in Chinese)is to the south of Xin Jiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Qing Hai Province, to the west of Sichuan, to the northwest of Yunnan and to the north of India and Nepal.Its population of 2.3 million people come from a variety of ethnic groups including Tibetan, Han, Monba and Lhota.Its capital city is Lhasa.Northwest Tibet, mainly Qing Hai plateau, is home to a variety of unusual and unique animals.Across the northern expanse of Tibet, you can see vast grasslands where horses, yak and sheep roam freely.The world's lowest valley, the Grand Yarlun-tzanpo River Valley lies in east Tibet.It is freezing cold in most time of the year.Most tourists come to visit Tibet only in the warmest seasons, June, July, August and early September.Step 2 Reading We know Wang Wei and Wang Kun have traveled down the Mekong.Today they have reached the Tibetan Mountains.They will stay there for a night.Now let’s look at the passage “A night in the mountains” on page 22.Read it quickly to find the main idea.Show some questions.1.How does Wang Kun feel about the trip now? 2.What do you think has changed his attitude? 3.Is it natural for Wang Kun not to feel lonely? 4.Would you feel the same way in this situation? Why or Why not? Step 3 Language points T：“As usual” means “ as it is usual”.For example：
He came late as usual.（He was always late，and this time he came late again.）Can you guess its Chinese meaning？ S：It means “像往常一样”.T：Please make some sentences by yourselves.S1：He is a man with few words.He didn’t say anything at the meeting as usual.S2：He will go home at the Spring Festival as usual.T：Listen and tell me the meaning of “than usual”.He had important things to deal with this morning，so he got up much earlier than usual.S：比往常。
T：Yes.How can we say “今天会议室的人比往常多”？ S：Today there are more people in the meeting room than usual.T：What about“他今晨感到比往常好一点了。”？ S：He feels a bit better than usual this morning.T：Tell me the meaning of “put up the tent”.S：搭起帐篷。
T：Besides “搭起”，what other meanings does the phrase have？Please tell the meaning of it in the following sentences.（1）If you have questions，you can put up your hands to ask your teacher.举起手（2）They put up several new houses on out street.建造
（3）They put up some pictures on the wall to make the room more beautiful.张贴
（4）Every morning，mother puts up breakfast for the two children.准备（饭食、药物等）（5）He is going to put up another proposal at the conference.提出（建议）（Ask individual Ss to guess the meaning in each sentence.）T：Now look at the word “camp”.What part of speech it it？ S：It is a noun.T：Yes，it can be a countable noun and an uncountable noun，for example：（1）When we were on holiday，we stayed in a camp.（countable）
（2）The soldiers made camp at the foot of the mountain.（make camp意为“扎营”，camp为不可数名词）
Please underline the phrase “make camp”.S：Can it be used as a verb？
T：Yes，of course.We can say “go camping.” “Go camping” means “去露营”.S：I once came across “summer camp”，does it mean “夏令营”？ T：Yes，you’re very clever.Here is another very important word “stay”.How do you understand the word in “stay awake”？ S：Does it mean “ keep or remain awake”？ T：Yes，how do you know？
S：I remember we learned “American English changed while British English stayed the same.” In this sentence，“stay” means “remain” or “keep”.T：You have good memory.We should always associate the new with what we have learned.It is a good way of learning everything.Now turn to Page 23.Please underline “for one thing，for another” and “be familiar to”.“For one thing，for another” usually expresses two reasons.Its Chinese meaning is “一则„„再则”，e.g.I persuaded him not to buy the suit，for one thing，it didn’t suit him，for another（thing），it was too expensive.Can you make one sentence after the model？ S：I will not go the cinema tonight，for one thing，it is raining，for another，there will be an exam tomorrow.T：Perfect.We often say “sb.be familiar with sb.” and “sth.be familiar to sb.” Please translate the sentence “我们很熟悉这首歌。”
S：We are familiar with the song./The song is familiar to us.T：Right.Step 4 Homework 1.Finish the translation exercise of Part 2 on Page 57.2.Preview Part 6 of Journey Down the Mekong on Page 59.Blackboard desig Unit 3 Travel journal The Fifth Period Language points 1.as usual

第五篇：口语 travel
Travel
A: With the development of the society, more and more people prefer to travel on the vacation.Do you know why people like travel?
B: Some people go traveling for the fresh air.They get a chance toforget their busy life styles and just relax themselves when they stay away from central cities.When they go to some other places, they can experience different environment and culture.A: Yeah, that’s a good chance to practice the ability of living alone and you can make more friends.You can also exercise your body if you like hiking in the mountains;it’s good for health.B: So, I’ve a question for u, which do you prefer, individual travel or package tour? A: I always like independent travel.I love the freedom and flexibility when I travel by myself.I can stay longer in a place if I enjoy the beautiful scenery there.Also, I will have more chances to communicate with local residents or other tourists from all over the world--which will be an exciting and unforgettable experience.The difficulties I face during my travels are part of my life experiences.How about you?
B: To be honest, I prefer package tour.It’s just easier, you know? The travel agency makes enough preparations for you if you choose a qualified company.And it can ensure your trip goes smoothly, so you don’t need to worry about time, route and accommodation.Besides, it is safer and less time-consuming.A: Yes, but you can’t get more freedom, because you can’t do whatever you want when you are traveling.And the tour guides always ask you to buy a lot of things that you needn’t.B: Well, that’s true.I do hate it when the tour guide does that.But, you know, nothing’s perfect.Preparing for a trip is a lot of work.I think I’ll leave it to the travel agency.A Well, you do have a point I guess.By the way, I heard you and Lucy are going to Hong Kong.I guess that’s also a package tour?
B Not this time!We’re going all by ourselves!We are going shopping!I guess that’s something package tour cannot provide.A I couldn’t agree more.Well, have a nice time there!
B Thanks!
Mother Earth
A What are u listening there?
B It’s Miley Cyrus’s Wake up America.It’s a song about protecting the environment around us.A Really? That’s inspiring.B It sure is.A line in this song really hits me.It goes ”Everything you do matters in some way”.A I couldn’t agree more.Environmental protection has become more and more
important in both scientific field and in our daily lives.It's necessary for us to protect the environment step by step.B You know, I read an article few days ago.It says that the biggest threat to our environment today is the way we see it.How we see our environment shapes our whole world.A But we may only a little bit in reality.To be honest, I feel powerless for individual.B That’s exactly what I’m talking about.Cheer up!Don’t be so negative!We can join in some kind of organization that’s about the Green House effect.It’s mainly about protecting the earth by saving endangered animals.A Oh, I see your point, we can also do a lot in daily life.For example, turning the lights off before you leave the room is a good way to reduce carbon dioxide.B Well, speaking of carbon dioxide, have you seen the movie An Inconvenient Truth?
A Yeah!Gole shows that the temperature’s increasing is earlier than carbon dioxide.That’s an interesting opinion.B It sure is.But I don’t really buy it.There’s that other movie is even against the view that global warming is caused by carbon dioxide.Guess who’s gonna win?
A Well no matter who wins, our Mother Earth will always be the loser.B You’re absolutely right!Anyway, the point is to protect the earth, not to argue.Continuing education
A: Hi, where are you going?
B: I’m heading for the book store.Would you like to join me?
A: Sure!Do you have a book in mind?
B: Well, not particularly.I’ve decided to take the GRE.So…
A: Wow, good for u!That’s ambitious!
B: Thanks.Hope I’m lucky enough.What about u?
A: Well, I’m going to take a job first, gain some experience.Maybe some day I’ll attend night schools to enhance my professional skills.B: You mean to study while you’re working? How does that work exactly?
A: Simple enough actually.You see, although you are able to get general education from school, when it comes to working, it usually demands specialist knowledge in a certain field, which most people found themselves rather ignorant.And that’s what continuing education is for.B: Oh, I see.So continuing education allows people who aren’t familiar with professional skills to be more attached to their working environment since the knowledge school provides is rather large and incompact.Besides, it gives adults a chance to relax themselves from their stressful jobs.A: Indeed.Also, people with stable jobs and lives may feel a lack of interest in their lives.So, they turn to some courses such as music and arts and literature, which may be their childhood dream.Education of this type can relax their nerves;make them
more graceful and their lives more colorful.B: How wonderful!You know what they say, it’s never too late to learn.I guess that’s what continuing education is for—to give people who are over the age of studying at school a second chance to learn something they actually care about.A Sounds attempting!But I always feel kind of lost.Just hope by the time I start working I would know what I really want to learn.B Oh, believe me.You will eventually.
