Sample dialogue (A: Student a; B: Student b) A: Are there any typhoons in the area where you live? B: No, there aren't. A: Have you heard about it? B: Yes, I have. I saw a VCD about typhoon last year, and I learned something from it. A: What is it like? B: Very terrible! When it happens, trees are pulled up and some old houses are destroyed. A: Is that so? I wish there were no typhoons in the world. B: That's impossible. But when it comes, there will be rain with it. A: How about hurricane and tornado? B: There are many words for a violent tropical circular wind. A cyclone may be very large, bringing rain and great destruction. When it happens in the western Atlantic Ocean, it is called a hurricane, and the same tiling happening in tile western Pacific or China sea is a typhoon. When shaped like a pipe and passing in a narrow path, it is a tornado if it goes over land and a waterspout if it goes over water. A: I see. Thank you very much for telling me so much. B: Not at all. T: (Show the screen.) Have you met with one of such situations above? Are you frightened? Have you heard anyone meet with that? Describe how they behaved then. Have a discussion with your partner and make up a dialogue. The useful expressions on the blackboard may be a help to you. (Teacher writes the useful expressions on Page 75 on the blackboard.) Sample dialogue: (A: Students c ; B: Student d) A: Have you been in a situation that frightens you? B: Yes. It was last summer. I spent my summer vacation in my hometown, a small village in a mountainous district. One day, I went hiking with my cousin. On our way home, we met a cobra. A: Were you frightened when you saw it? B: Very! It made my hair stand on end. My cousin was too frightened to move at that time, too. Because we both saw on TV that the poison of a cobra can kill a person easily. A: What happened next? B: Fortunately it didn't see us. We acted just as the TV programme told us. At last, it went by. The distance between the cobra and us was only three metres or so. A: How terrible ! Step V Summary and Homework T: In this period, we've talked about some topics about geology, meteorology, astronomy and biology, and listened to a passage about weather information. Also we've had a discussion about some frightening situations. After class, go on with the discussion according to the pictures on Page 25 using the useful expressions on the blackboard. (Teacher reads the expressions.) And do the fifth part of Warming up. That's all for today. Class is over.
