Step 1 Revision
1 Check the hom ework exercises.
2 Get Ss to have a dialogue like the one in Part 2 of Lesson 52, in pairs, with their books shut.
Step 2 Presentation
SB Page. 7, Part 1. Write the word slavery on the Bb and ask the Ss how much they know about this topic. Make sure that Ss understand that slaves were caught in Africa and were taken to America where they were sold, as this is the key to the story. Put any useful notes and key words that arise out of this discussion on the Bb. Get Ss to talk about the picture and describe what they can see.
Step 3 Reading for general understanding
Say to the Ss You are going to read a story about a man who lived in the eighteenth century. His name was Kunta. Read aloud the task and the two questions. Allow the Ss enough time to read the text and write down the answers. Put them in pairs to discuss their answers, then collect the answers from the class. (1 He was caught in a forest in Africa, put in chains and sent by ship to .America. 2 About a third of the black people on the ship died during the journey.)
Step 4 Reading
Wb Lesson 53, Ex. 1. Go through the exercise and make sure the Ss know what to do. Let them read the whole passage carefully and answer the questions, working in pairs or small groups. Check the answers with the whole class. This is a good time to deal with any language problems. See if the Ss can guess the meaning of softly, hopeless.
Step 5 Comprehension
Explain that Ss have to read the text again and put the events into the correct order. Make the Ss do this task individually, then check their answers in pairs. Answers：
1 Long ago, people in Africa said it was dangerous to walk alone in the forest near the coast.
2 Kunta was caught in the forest one day.
3 He was hit on the head.
4 He was tied up and carried to a small boat.
5 He was then chained up in a castle.
6 He heard some women and children crying.
7 A few days later he was put on a sailing ship.
8 He was chained up in the ship.
9 The ship sailed for two months.
10 The ship arrived in a port.
11 About a third of the black people had lost their lives.
Step 6 Discussion
SB Page 8, Part 3. The purpose of this task is to get Ss to think about and interpret what they have just read. Get the Ss to discuss these questions in pairs or groups of four. Ask for some answers from the class at the end. Possible answers：
1 Where he was being taken, why he was being taken, what was going to happen to him, etc.
2 No, because of the phrase “Another, whoselanguage Kunta understood”. (There are hundreds of different African languages.)
3 He was caught and carried away by black men whom he expected would usually help him.
4 To catch black men.
5 If women were caught and became slaves as well as men, they would produce babies (young slaves).
6 So that they could not try to jump off the ship.
7 Terrible ---- no light; food and water once a day only; nothing to lie on except hard boards; diseases and death.
8 To carry upstairs the bodies of people who had died and to throw them into the sea over the side of the ship.
9 Kunta thought that the sailors came down to carry sick men upstairs for treatment.
10 About 94. A third of the original 140 black people had died. In fact the exact number of black people who arrived in America on this ship alive was 98.
Step 7 Reading aloud

Demonstrate this activity with one group in front of the class first.
Step 2 Grammar study
SB Page 11, Part 1. Go through the Grammar
study section with the class, getting students to translate the sentences. Do not spend time revising the simpler structures, as students should know these. Draw attention to any difficult points suggested below. If students have difficulty, do not spend too much time explaining.

Write up some cues on the Bb： go/travel/see/visit;richlolder; a lot of money/plenty of time/read three books this week / stay at home / visit a friend / go to the cinema / leave / do some shopping. Ask Ss to complete the expressions given in the tables. Point out that wish to is mainly used in formal writing.

1 I want to go to university.
2 I would like to work as a doctor in a children's hospital.
3 I'd like to visit Yunnan Province. I hope to go there next summer.
Point out that intend is a formal/serious word, and that mean is commonly used in the past tense to express intentions, e.g. I meant to collect the tickets but I forgot. I didn't mean to get angry. Situation： Demonstrate this activity by talking about your own plans. If you like, you can say：I'm going to tell you about my plans for the weekend. I don't intend to do any work this coming weekend at all. I feel like having a rest instead. I'd like to go for a walk, but I don't know what the weather will be .like.

E: It’s extremely important. Naturally a person who's coming to work here needs good exam results, especially in English. But the interview is very important.
I: In what way?
E: I've got to be sure that the person is going to be able to get on with people. They need to be quick thinkers and they need to be able to express themselves easily in words.
I: Are there any other qualities (素质) that you are looking for?
E: Yes. The kind of mind that's always asking questions, being able to talk to people easily, that kind of thing.
I: What do you do in the interview?
E: I ask the person about their time at school and their work experience. I ask them about events of the day and ask about their political opinions. I change subjects often and see if they can answer a question quickly.
I: Can you give any general advice to school-leavers who are about to go for a job interview?
E: Yes. Arrive on time. Dress tidily, but not too smartly. Find out as much as you can about the organization before you go to the interview. Don't be shy. Be proud of your successes. But don't pretend to know everything. Admit what you don't know and show that you are eager to learn and gain experience.
StepIII.Cloze.
This was the morning, when Jeremy, 14 years old, was to begin his duck shooting. He had 1 the whole idea ever since his father had bought him 2 and had promised him a trip to this island. But he loved his father and wanted to 3 him.
They came to the beach. To 4 the sense of fear, he took a 5 of his father. Then he put the camera aside and picked up the gun. His father said happily, “I’ve been 6 a long time for this day. I’ll let you shoot.” He leaned forward, eyes narrowed. “There is a small flight (飞翔的一群) now. Keep your head down; I’ll give you the 7 .”
Jeremy’s heart was beating 8 “No, don’t let me come, please!” But they came, closer, closer… “Now, take him!” cried his father. Jeremy felt his body 9 . He stood up, leaned into the gun the 10 his father taught him. In the same distance (此刻), the ducks saw the gunners and flared (突然飞去) wildly. For a second he hung there balanced 11 life and death. There was no sound. Jeremy stood 12 , seizing the gun.
“What happened? 13 didn’t you shoot?” his father said in a controlled voice. The boy didn’t answer. His lips were trembling (发抖). “Because they were so 14 .” He said and burst into tears. He sat down, face buried in his hands and wept(哭泣) . All 15 of pleasing his father was gone. He had his chance and he had failed. For a moment his father was 16 . And then he said, “Let’s try again.” Jeremy didn’t lower his hands. “It’s no use, I can’t.”
“Hurry, you’ll miss him. Here!” Gold metal touched Jeremy. He 17 up, unbelieving. His father was handing the camera to him, and said softly, “Quick!” Jeremy stood up and pressed his shutter release (快门) button in a flash. “I got him!” his face was bright.
Jeremy saw that there was no disappointment in his father’s eyes, 18 pride and love. “I’ll always love shooting. But that doesn’t mean you 19 . Sometimes it takes as much courage not to do a thing as to do it.” He paused. “I think you could teach me how to operate that 20 .”
