(此課選自外研版普通高中課程標準實驗教科書《英語》順序選修6 Module 3 Interpersonal Relationships — Friendship)
Step I Lead-in and Pre-reading
T: Good morning / afternoon, everyone!
Ss: Good morning / afternoon, teather!
T: With the development of society, our life is changing. The relationships become more and more estranged. Perhaps this is the true reason. At the end of last period I asked you to find some popular songs about friendship. Have you prepared?
Ss: Yes.
T: OK. Now I want some of you to sing these songs to feel the sincere emotion in your minds. When one is singing, the rest should listen. If you want to sing after him / her, you may put up your hands, and when I send a signal, the front one should stop and the next one will go on to sing without stop in order to save time. Are you ready?
Ss: (Very excited) Yes!
Step II Fast-reading
T: Lets read the text: Roys Story. I will give you a few minutes to do a fast reading and then lets talk about the main idea of each paragraph. Please begin。
(Ask the students to present the main idea of each paragraph. )
The result may be as follows:
Para 1: “I” had no friend when “I” came here.
Para 2: Roy was kind to me and we became good friends.
Para 3: Roy changed a lot, becoming silent and moody as his father died.
Para 4: “I” saw Roy stealing others things.
Para 5: “I” was not sure whether Roy was a thief.
Para 6: The £500 was stolen by someone.
Para 7: “I” decided to ask Roy about the theft only to find the £500 was in his pocket.
Para 8: A no-end storys end: “I” didnt know how to deal with the problem.
Step III Careful-reading
T: All of you have your own ideas about friendships and every idea has its reason. Lets read the text again carefully to make sure your idea! And at the same time Ill give you four questions on the screen to think about. When you finish your reading, I will check your answers.
Show the questions on the screen.
1. Why does Roy become silent and moody? Is he really bad seriously?
2. As his friend, what can you do for him at such a time?
3. How did Daniel do? Do you think he did very well?
4. If you were “I”, what would you do?
The students may have all kinds of thoughts about the questions. Control the time and situation and lead the students to the next step.
T: I think you know some of the meanings about friend-ships. Now lets have a deeper thought about our text and make summaries on different sides to show what we learn.
Step IV Post-reading and Word study

T: Youre so good, my kids. Now, lets choose the correct answers in Activity 5 one by one, OK?
Let the students do Activity 5 and then check the answers with the whole class.
Step V Vocabulary (P80)
T: Now lets deal with Exercise 6 on page 80. Please do pair works to write two or three pieces of advice to Sam. And then I will check your answers.
Sample writing 1:
Dear Sam,
I think you should write her a letter to explain what you have done, even she is still angry. Apology is not a simple thing, it needs patience and sincerity. If you really want her pardon, you should let her feel happy. So good luck!
