　　Unit 5 The British lsles

　　I. Brief Statements Based on the Unit

　　How much do you know about the UK? Do you want to know more about the British Isles? After you have learnt Unit 5, you've sure to find that you're learned more about this topic.

　　The whole unit is arranged to be taught in four periods. In the first period, we will deal with Warming up, Listening and Speaking. In warming up, by talking about English cities, food, sports, places of interest, school education, geography, etc. , the students' desire to know more about Britain can be raised. The listening material provides detailed information for the students to catch. While listening, the students' ability to listen will be improved. Speaking includes three topics, and the students can express various opinions freely. Each topic can be discussed from different sides. Is English easy or difficult to learn? How can we learn geography well? What's your opinion about the development of a country? The students can reach an agreement on the points. Meanwhile, their ability to speak English can be greatly improved. The whole text, including Pre-reading, Reading and Post-reading, is dealt with in the second period. The students will learn some useful information which may perhaps be unknown to them before. The students are required to read the text and do different kinds of exercises, in the course of which their reading ability will be improved. In the third period, Word Study and Grammar Noun Clauses ( 1 ), are arranged for the students. They can practise using some useful words and get a good command of the noun clauses. If the teacher can give more exercises in addition, the result will be much better. Integra- ting skills, including Reading and Writing, are arranged in the fourth period. Reading is a passage about Daniel Defoe's visit to Salisbury in southern England, where he saw rural scenery as well as a large and fine city. The sheep in the field, beautiful rivers, high hills, old relics, high towers and local products gave him a deep impression. At last, students are required to read the passage and write a passage about his hometown, introducing the landscape, cultural relics, people's life, trade etc. They can use what they've learned from the text to describe what they want to say so as to improve their writing ability. Besides, the students will learn plenty of useful words and expressions from the unit.
