Step Ⅰ Greetings and Revision

T: Good morning/afternoon, class. Among your teachers, who do you think are excellent? And what qualifications do you think a good teacher should have? Which group would like to share your opinions?

Group 1

Mr Wu, our physics teacher, is excellent. He enjoys teaching physics. When I asked him why he chose to be a teacher, he replied, "Teaching is a meaningful job. There is always information to share with you." He is very patient and has a way to make the class interesting.

Mrs Zhang, our history teacher, is also good at teaching. She doesn't just teach us dates and names. She makes things interesting and exciting to learn. Now we find history is fascinating.

Group 2

We all like Mrs Wang, our maths teacher. She varies her lessons to make them more interesting. If you succeed in working out a problem, she will praise you in class. She makes us believe we can learn maths well.

And Mr Li is a special teacher, too. She keeps improving her methods of teaching to attract more students. We are active in class. We have various after class activities, such as singing, English corner, and having talks and discussions on our subjects.

We like football and love to play with my classmates. Our PE teacher trains us on Wednesdays after school. What is best about him is that he really knows what he is doing - how to play the game. If he teaches maths or English, I'd be the best.

We like Mr Wang. He is in charge of our class and he is always ready to help every one of us. If two boys had a fight, he would have settled it for them nicely. But his best quality is he likes all his students. He always tells us, "You are my students and I am with you."

Step Ⅱ Reading

The passage on P75 is a webpage. An English teacher named Tom Wood introduces himself and his life. The students can know his everyday life, his hobbies and his family.
