1. 教材分析

本单元以Travelling abroad and studying abroad为话题，旨在通过单元教学，使学生了解在国外旅行或学习时可能会遇到的一些问题，并学会怎样去解决问题和避免这些问题的发生。学会表达和支持个人观点，能用所学的有关travelling abroad的词汇描述在国外居住生活的情况；在国外旅游时能根据所提供的信息选择恰当的旅游线路，能推测哪些事情可能会发生，哪些事情不会发生，并会正确使用非性定语从句。

1. Warming Up 提出了四个有关在国外旅行和生活的问题，让学生用已有的知识和经验讨论在国外居住或旅行会遇到什么问题，并且该如何解决这些问题。
2. Pre-reading是Reading的热身活动，设置了两个问题，它要求学生采用与同学讨论交流的方式谈论在国外学习的利与弊，激发同学们的学习兴趣。
3. Reading是一篇介绍中国女孩谢蕾在伦敦学习和生活的情况，让学生通过实例对比在国内学习生活与在国外学习生活的不同，从而培养他们的国际视眼。
4. Comprehending设置了4个练习题：练习1通过四个问题来检查学生对课文细节的理解；练习2以图表的形式来分析在国外学习的利与弊；练习3设置了三个讨论题，通过对这些话题的讨论，挖掘文章的深层含义，激活学生自身的认知能力和思想认识能力；练习4是概括能力训练题，在理解文章的基础上，重点训练学生的概括能力和解决问题的能力。
5. Learning about Language分词汇和语法两部分。其中Discovering useful words and expressions是训练学生在语境中掌握词汇的能力，帮助学生加强动词变化形式的意识。Revising useful structures 是对非性定语从句的复习，旨在帮助学生加强对定语从句的理解、掌握和运用，并通过语法练习加以巩固。
6. Using Language中的Listening要求学生先根据秘鲁的地图谈论有关秘鲁这个国家的一些情况, 然后完成三个相应的任务型练习。通过这些题，学生将学会获取听力材料中的具体用词和细节要点，同时了解有关Peru这个国家的一些情况，为下面的Reading and speaking 作了铺垫；Reading and speaking的阅读部分是对秘鲁这个国家的一段介绍，要求学生能运用找读的策略从地图上找到文中提到的地方，并回答几个问题。然后为大家提供了一个旅游小册子，其内容是在秘鲁旅游的四条路线。要求学生在读后根据文章细节回答四个问题；Speaking部分主要是设置了一个情景your group plans to spend eight days in and around Cuzco，要求学生依据所提供的旅游手册来选择适合自己团队的旅游路线，学会表达喜好和可能性。这是一个任务型训练，旨在培养学生的口头表达能力和实践能力；Writing要求学生给一位即将到中国来学习的美国笔友写一封信，在信中向他介绍中国的一些情况，在中国的学习生活中可能会遇到的问题及解决问题的办法，告诉他怎样更好的学习中国的文化以及你将提供给他的帮助。

2． 教材重组

2.1 从话题内容上分析，Warming Up与Reading相一致；而从训练目的上分析与TALKING比较一致。从教材份量来说，可将Warming Up与Workbook中的TALKING和 SPEAKING TASK整合在一起，设计成一节任务型“口语课”。

2.2 可将Pre-reading, Reading与Comprehending三个活动整合在一起上一节“阅读课”。

2.3 Using Language中的Listening和Reading and speaking都是谈论秘鲁这个国家，介绍秘鲁的景色以及在秘鲁旅行的几条路线，内容一致，故整合在一起，设计成一节“听说课”。Writing部分可作为课后作业来处理。

2.4可将Learning about Language 与Workbook中的USING STRUCTURES的语法练习题整合在一起上一节“语法课”。

2.5 可将Workbook 中的LISTENING TASK、READING TASK 与WRITING TASK 整合起来，上一节“综合实践课”。

Teaching procedures && ways教学过程与方法

Step Ⅰ Warming up

Let the students talk about the questions in Warming Up.

T: Did you watch the TV series about four Chinese students who live and study in Canada? ... How will you describe their life there? Do you want to study abroad like them?

S: I watched it on the CCTV. They are about our age, so I enjoyed watching it. I think life in a foreign country is very interesting and challenging. You can make friends with people there and learn about different culture and customs.

S: I want to study abroad. I think living in a different country will enrich my knowledge and make me independent. Because you have to deal with many things by yourself. You will learn to solve problems and take care of yourself. That’s really exciting!

T: Yes, travelling abroad and studying abroad are very popular nowadays, as many people can afford to travel and study in a foreign country. If you could go anywhere in the world, which country would you like to visit and why? Turn to Page 37. Work in groups, discuss and answer the questions in Warming Up.

After discussion, ask several students to report their answers to the class.

T: What’s your answer to the first question?

S1: If I have a chance to travel abroad, I’d like to visit New Zealand. It’s said that it’s a beautiful country. I’d like to enjoy the beautiful scenery in New Zealand.  

S2: If I have a chance, I’d like to go to America. Maybe it is better if I could work or study there, then I could learn English well. I like American English. I think it’s the best place for me to learn English. What’s more I want to visit some tour attractions such as Disneyland, Statue of Liberty, Times Square etc.   

S3: I’d like to go to Egypt, because it has a long history and I want to know about the ancient culture. There I can visit Pyramid and Aswan High Dam.

S4: I prefer to go to Cambodia, because it’s an old Country. I especially want to visit Angkor Wat in Cambodia(柬埔寨吴哥窟).

T: Then, what kind of things would you learn best by being a tourist in the country you talked about and what would you learn best by working or studying there?

S: When we travel to another country, maybe we could learn about the architecture of the country, the beautiful scenery, the economic situation and so on.

S: When we work or study in the country, maybe we could know more about the culture and customs of the country. We could learn English better, we could communicate with the local people to improve our English.

T: Suppose you are going to spend two years in America, how difficult or easy do you think it is to adjust to living there? What kind of difficulties might you experience?

S: I don’t think it would be difficult to adjust to living there. Because I have learned English for many years and communication won’t be a big problem. I have learned a lot about American culture and customs from movies, books and TV programs. I think Americans are open, friendly and easy to live with.

T: Very good. Have you talked to anyone who has spent some time in another country? What did they find unusual or difficult about it?

S: Well, I once talked to my friend who had been to India. He told me something different or interesting there. For example, in India, most people don’t eat meat, especial beef. They like to eat vegetables and fruits, so if you invite an Indian for dinner, never order steak for them.

Step Ⅱ Speaking task

Deal with SPEAKING TASK in the workbook. Let the students practice expressing probability and improbability.

T: Well, we talked about the things that we could learn while travelling or studying in a foreign country. Then, what kind of problems or dangers could happen while travelling in a foreign country? Now list the dangers and problems on a piece of paper.

Possible problems and dangers:

have difficulty in communicating with the local people; lose your way; get robbed; have your money stolen; traffic accident; get sick; race discrimination ...

Let the students speak out the problems and dangers they have written and write all of them on the Bb.

T: Now look at the list on the Bb and discuss which situations could possibly happen and which are very unlikely to happen. You can use the expressions in Activity 2 in your discussion. Let’s go through the expressions first.

After discussion, let the students rank the situations on their lists 1-3 from unlikely to very possible.

T: Now look at the situations you have ranked 2 and 3. How would you prevent these situations happening when you are travelling in a foreign country? Discuss with your partners. Before you start, read the example in Activity 4.

After a few minutes, ask some students to present their ideas to the class.

T: Well, are you ready? Who’d like to share your ideas with us?

S: While travelling, it’s possible that you lose your way, because you don’t know the country very well. To prevent this:

You’d better take a map of the country with you.

Don’t leave alone without saying a word.

Pay attention to the notable signs, for example, some famous buildings, some special road signs, so that you can ask the way while you are lost.

S: It’s likely that we could meet malefactors—robber, thief or others. Probably, we will get hurt. To prevent this:

Don’t show your valuable belongings to others.

You’d better go along with other people.

Should you face dangers, call the police.

S: It’s (very) possible that we could have difficulty in communicating with the local people. To prevent this:

Try to learn some simple and basic local language.

Try to know about the manners and customs of the country.

Try to get familiar with formality in everyday life.

Step Ⅲ Talking

Deal with TALKING in the workbook.

T: It’s very important to know how to deal with the problems while travelling in a foreign country. It is important to make good preparations before you go there. Here is a question: How do you find information that is helpful for your trip? Think about it.

S: We could go to some travel agency for information. They can provide the most useful and complete information.

S: I would search on the Internet for some information. There are many websites which provide information on travelling both home and abroad. You could also visit some of their forums. The web pals are willing to offer their advice and ideas.

T: Good ideas! If you don’t have much money for an overseas trip, how would you arrange your trip?

S: Maybe we could travel on foot or by bike.

S: We could stay at inexpensive small hotels. But the conditions may not be satisfactory.

T: Nowadays many young people manage to travel around the world with limited amount of money. The youth hostels make it possible. Have you heard about it? What kind of service do they offer? Let’s find more information about it. Turn to Page 78. Mei Jie is planning a three-week holiday in Italy and France. She has been using the Internet to find out information for her trip. Look at the web page. It is from the web site where she searched for information. Read the web page carefully and discuss the question in groups.

About 5 minutes later. Ask the students to answer he questions.

Suggested answers:

1. They are cheap. They offer quality accommodation at low cost.   

2. 4, 5, or 6 people.

3. You can save money by cooking for yourself instead of eating in restaurants. You can eat food that you like.

4. If you have a Youthpass you can t ravel in European contries at cheap prices.

5. You must be less than 26years old.

6. If you get sick or have an accident in a foreign country, it can be quite expensive to get medical treatment.

7. Various answers are possible.

Well, I would like to stay in a  youth hostel. Because I like travelling alone, I like to enjoy the feeling of freedom. I can do whatever I like. Also, it’s convenient for travellers to stay in youth hostel.

Step Ⅰ Revision

T: Yesterday we talked about travelling in a foreign country.  Have you ever travelled in another country? Who’d like to tell us your experiences?

S: I’d like to. Last summer, my parents and I went to Pairs. We went there by air. Though it’s expensive, it’s very comfortable to travel by air. The first day we arrived there, we found a good guide. She introduced a wonderful hotel to us, and helped us to change money. During the travel, we visited the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe (凯旋门). I took some photos and  bought a postcard and sent it to my best friend. We also visited the Musee du Louvre（卢浮宫） and Avenue des Champs Elysees (香榭大道). We bought many presents. There are so many beautiful and famous tourist attractions in Paris. I hope you will have a chance to visit it.

S: I had the experience of travelling in America. It was in 2000 that my uncle took me to visit the Disneyland. We spent a wonderful day in Disneyland. I took many photos with the famous cartoon characters, for example, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh(小熊维尼). We visited the four wonderful theme parks in Disneyland. We were so happy, but unfortunately, we lost our way and couldn’t find the entrance. We couldn’t speak English, so others couldn’t understand us. Finally, we met a Chinese guide. With her help, we went back to our car.    

T: Poor boy! So you know, we might meet many kinds of difficulties while travelling in a foreign country.
