I. Warming up

Warming up by describing

Good morning, class. Today we are going to talk about an interesting topic --- music. As we know, music is a kind of art of making pleasing combinations of sounds in rhythm, harmony and counterpoint. Music can produce a lively and happy atmosphere and bring people relaxation after hard work, which can reduce the tiredness. Listening to music also makes people feel happy and nice. How many do you know about music? Can you tell about different kinds of music? Now turn to page 33, look at the pictures, read the captions and listen to the different kinds of music. See if you can guess which music matches with which picture.

Warming up by discussing

Hi, everyone. Do you like music? How much do you know about music? Can you tell about the different kinds of music? Please turn to page 33. Look at the pictures. Let's listen to some music. Let's see if you can guess which music matches with which picture.

Yes, you are right. I'm sure you will really enjoy yourselves after listening to all these beautiful music. What kind of music do you like better, Chinese or Western, classical or modern? Why? How does music make you feel? Why do you like to listen to music? Let's discuss these questions in small groups. Try to share your opinions with one another.

II. Pre-reading

1.Thinking and saying

Have you heard about any of the famous bands in the world? List some if you can.

For reference: I've heard about "The Beatles", "Back Street Boys", "The Eagles", "West life" and "Pink Floyd".

2.Listening, talking and sharing

Let's listen to some pieces of music from different bands. Work in groups of four. Tell your group mates which band you like best. Why? Then the group leader is to stand up and share the group idea with the class.

For reference: I am from Group 1. Our group likes "The Beatles" best. We like their style of performances. Listening to their performances, we will feel relaxed, amused, and their performances make us think a lot about life.
