First listen and try to get some details that Exercises 1 and 2 requests. Second listen again and try to finish the exercises. Third listen and check your answers.
4. Guided writing
⑴Making an introduction
Have you ever read a newspaper story? Now turn on your books to page 31 and look at Writing. Read the brief description about how to write a newspaper story. Compare a newspaper story to a short story and answer the following questions.
1) What should you write before writing a newspaper story? (outline)
2) What should a newspaper outline have? (a headline; a list of main ideas; a list of important details)
3) Why a headline is needed? (It can tell the readers what the topic is; it can also attract the readers’ attention)
4) How can you finish a newspaper story? (First, you should write a headline, then organize your main ideas into paragraphs, and then put some details into each paragraph.)
5) Have you found out the difference between a newspaper story and a short story?
(Usually a short story begins with small details and includes big details later. A newspaper story does just the opposite. Both kinds of stories use paragraphs with main ideas. In a good newspaper story, the point-of-view is objective (i.e. it has no point-of-view) while a short story is subjective (i.e. it has a point-of-view). A newspaper story has no conclusion; a short story generally does.)
Now I’ll show you a newspaper story to find out the headline, main idea and details of each paragraph.
THE WASHINGTON POST
SEATTLE-A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 hit Washington State last week. The quake, the biggest in 50 years, caused billions of dollars in damage. But miraculously, only one person died and more than 100 people were injured in the quake.
Authorities said one reason there wasn’t greater destruction is that the region spent millions of dollars in the last decade designing earthquake----proof facilities and improving existing buildings, schools and homes.
Earthquake expert said the event illustrated (说明) the growing gap between rich and poor nations in the ability to mitigate (减轻) natural disasters. Only a handful of people were seriously injured here, a slight number compared with the devastation (破坏) in countries like Turkey, India and El Salvador, where quakes have buried thousands under poorly constructed buildings.
⑵Writing for China Daily
Now prepare the outline for a short newspaper story for China Daily. You can use the example in exercise 1 to help you organize your outline.
⑶Underlining collocations
Read the outline and the newspaper story on page 31 and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in them. Copy them to your notebook after class as homework.
Collocations from Ready to go on the road for Disaster-Hit Areas
a team of cyclists, be known as, have a big meeting, raise money, in disaster-hit areas, collect 1 million yuan
