the questions.

1. What do you know about the buildings in the photo?

2. What traditions of that city/country do you know about?

traditions?

Then have some Ss share their views on the questions.

Step 2 Share views on historic sites

1. Before listening, get the Ss to look at some photos of Qufu in

Activity 1 on Page 38. And ask “What can you say about these places?”

Get the Ss to discuss in groups, and then ask several volunteers to

share their views with the class.

2. Listen to a conversation between a British tourist and a Chinese

student in Qufu, and then write down what they say about Confucius.

false (F), or not mentioned (NM).

(1) Listen and judge, and check the answers.

confusion.

2) Xiao Kong is doing a research project on Confucius philosophy.

3) As one of Confucius’ descendants, Xiao Kong’s name is

recorded in the family tree.

C. Both places have a famous person who was born there.

D. His hometown doesn’t allow other buildings to be more

4. Activity 4

(1) At first, go through the Understand idioms with the Ss.

An idiom is an expression which means something different from the

meaning of the individual words. Some idioms present an idea or paint a

picture that gives a hint as to the meaning. Other idioms can only be

understood from the context in which they appear.

(2) Write down the English idioms that are used in the conversation.

Explain their meanings and think about some Chinese equivalents.

5. Discuss the questions in groups, and then get some Ss to share

their answers.

(1) What do you know about Confucius’ ideas on education? Think

of two or three examples. What else do you know about Confucius and

his philosophy?

(2) Think about a historic site that you have visited, and give an

introduction to its history and importance.

Step 3 Pronunciation

1. Read this part of the poem “If-” written by British poet Rudyard

Kipling.

Notice the linking sounds. Then mark the linking sounds after the

model

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

2. Repeat the poem after the recording.
