Tell the students: In the previous period, we've learned something about Greek architecture.

Similarly, the Greek language has also influenced the English language. There are a lot of English words derived from Greek. Can you list some examples?

识 Step 5 Discussion (PPT25)

1. Organize students into groups and discuss the following questions:

1) Does the Chinese language borrow words from other languages? Examples?

2) Why does a language need to borrow words from other languages?

2. Ask some students to report their answers.

Step 6 Summary and homework

Encourage the students to summarize (if the students have any difficulty, the teacher may give some help): With the development of science and technology, globalization is becoming more and more popular, thus bringing about a lot of changes to languages. While learning a language, learning something about its origins is also necessary and helpful.
