news and events about famous people and less serious news with many pictures, strip cartoons, and with its news presented in simple form, while a quality newspaper is usual about home and international news and sports and cultural events.

S2: I can't agree with you more. The headlines in Exercise 17 are mostly news about something strange or about famous people. So they should be found in a tabloid.

T: You got it. Let's come to Exercise 18. How did you match the headlines with the first lines of the articles? Volunteers?

...

T: Good! We will prepare for writing.

Step II Writing

This part is designed to have the Ss practice writing reports. First, ask the Ss to read the original report carefully and then discuss some details about the report. Second, guide the Ss to write down the next paragraph according to the discussion. Thirdly, ask the Ss to exchange it with their partners for checking.

T: In this module you have read all kinds of reports on different topics. Would you like to try to write some reports?

Ss: Is it difficult to write a report?

T: That depends. Let us have a try. Please turn to Page 45 and read the passage Aliens Land Spaceship on the Moon again. And then we will have a discussion to write the next paragraph of the story. Two minutes for the students to read.

T: OK, boys and girls. I think you have finished reading. Now please turn to Page 46 and read through the questions and then discuss them with your partners to prepare for writing the second paragraph. While discussing, you'd better write down some key words.

5 minutes for the students to discuss.

S3: I once read in a book that David Bates was 68 when the report was written and he had seen aliens landing on the moon twice before it. So I think he has had the telescope for at least three years.

S4: I agree with you. Though he was an amateur astronomer, he seemed to be very serious and experienced.
