major, local, represent, Columbia, introduce, approach, touch, strange, express, be likely to, general, avoid spoken, misunderstand, punish, at ease
T: Now, hand in your paper please; I’ll check your work after class.
Step II Warming up
T: Let’s look at the pictures on P33. These are four pictures of different parks - A garden in Suzhou, Hyde Park in London, World Waterpark in Canada, Disneyland. What kind of parks are they?
S1: I think A garden in Suzhou is a place when people have a walk in their spare time to enjoy the beautiful trees, flowers, lakes, stones, buildings and relax themselves.
T: What about Hyde Park in London? What kind of park is it?
S2: Hyde Park is a famous park in the world, so I’ve read it in magazines. It is the most well-known park in London. It used to be a hunting park for the Royal family in the 18th Century. Now it is open to the public and people can enjoy themselves there with the various activities, including horse-riding. It’s best-known for the Speaker’s Corner where people can make speeches and express their view points freely.
T: Very good. So what about World Waterpark in Canada?
S3: I haven’t heard of this park before. I guess it is a park where people can take part in all kinds of activities in water.
T: Good guessing. And I am sure all of you have heard of Disneyland.
S4: Yes, it is the oldest theme park in the world and I think it is the most popular park in the world too. In the Disneyland, people can not only enjoy the exciting activities there, but also get close to the life-size cartoon characters like the Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, which appear in some of Walt Disney’s famous cartoon films. Luckily for us, a new Disneyland is being built in Hong Kong, so a few years later, we will have the chance to go and experience the excitement of this wonderful place in the world.
T: Which one of these parks would you like to visit most if you have the chance?
Sa: Of course I would go to Disneyland. I have watched so much about it on TV and I’ve been dreaming about shaking hands with those lovely cartoon characters and taking pictures with them.
Sb: I would like to go to Waterpark, because I like swimming and I like to take part in the activities in water in this park.
Sc: I would go to Hyde Park. I want to go horse-riding, and above all, have the experience of making a speech in front of a crowd of people like a president. That’ll be really exciting.
