Period 4　Speaking;Writing;Everyday English

　　The General Idea of This Period

　　Speaking in this module is combined with the listening section,which broadens the topic of this module.It is suggested that this part should be dealt with after listening.In Activity 2 the students are requested to use why not to make suggestions.In dealing with this part the students may work in pairs,one saying the sentences in the text and the other saying a related sentence using the sentence structure-"Why not？".Activity 3 can be a preparation for Activity 4.Two students work in pairs talking about the traffic problems in their city.

　　Writing is closely related to the topic of this module.Activity 1 is actually a pre-activity,which has two roles.It is very helpful for the students to acquaint themselves with the vocabulary and sentences related to the topic of this module.Besides,the providing some questions make them know what to write themselves.This activity can be divided into the following steps:the students read the passage and answer the questions individually;work in pairs asking and answering questions;the teacher raises the last question to inspire the students with the structure of the passage.Before writing the teacher had better make the students read the passage once more.Ask them to plan their writing by listing the problems and possible solutions.They may exchange work with a partner for peer-checking of language,structure and content.Time permitting,the teacher may ask a few good ones to read their work to the whole class.

　　In Everyday English the students are requested to make sense of the four English expressions listed.First encourage the students to do this activity individually and then check with a partner.Call back the answers from the whole class,having one students read the original sentence,and another the paraphrase.To consolidate this section the teacher may say some sentences or phrases similar to the ones they learned in this part and then ask the students to paraphrase them.
