Word power

Boys and girls, we have dealt with the differences and similarities about school life between China and UK. I think you have had a better understanding of the reading material. Do you like your school life? Here are some pictures for you to appreciate.

What can you see in the picture? Which aspect or factor attracts you most and causes you to study in our school?

(beautiful night scene, teaching buildings and two marble statues. They reflect how beautiful our school is. We students in our school can be encouraged to study better and harder with such beautiful and meaningful surroundings)

Today we will come to Word Power.This section deals with words and expressions related to school facilities. Familiarize yourselves with the school facilities and review expressions of asking and answering the way. Parts A and B involve activities that aim to activate your relative prior knowledge. Part C is designed to reinforce the vocabulary involved in Parts A and B. Part D aims to expand and evaluate your vocabulary by doing a matching exercise.

You are not only to expand your related vocabulary but also to apply them in practical usage.

Step 1: Brainstorming

1. Thinking about the following topic:

School plays an important part in children's growing-up. When you finished your junior study, your parents and you all had a careful and thoughtful consideration about which senior high school suited you best or which senior high school could give you the best education and provide the best environment. So can you tell me which aspect or factor attracts you most and causes you to study here? (The teacher encourages students to express genuinely about their choices.)

2.Recalling the first day to school

Do you still remember the first day you came to this school? How did you find your way around?

Usually, if you don't know your way, what will you do? Do you ask others for help? Now think about the patterns you learned in junior high.

Excuse me, can you tell me the way to...?

Excuse me, which is the nearest way to...?

Excuse me, how can I get to/arrive at/reach... ?

Turn right/left, and walk straight on.

At the end of the first/second crossing, you will find it on your right/left.

You can't miss it.

Walk towards/past...and then walk between..., and you will find...at the end of the road.
