Step4 Pre-writing

Say: Imagine what problems and delights this android might have to deal with while it is serving you. Try yourself in someone else's shoes is an important way of understanding how other people feel.

Then discuss: You are an android. You work for a family with one child who is very spoiled. The parents want you to do everything for them. The parents are nice, but they often ask you to watch over their child. How do you feel? What would you do if the child asked you to do his/her homework for him/her? Would you ever tell the child "no"?

Step5 Writing

Say: Write a passage about the result of your discussion! It should contain:

What do you have to do?

What is the child like?

What is the parents' requirement of the child?

What do the parents want you to do?

What does the child want you to do?

Then what will you do? How do you feel?

Sample writing:

Hello everybody, my name is Liu Yan.I am a 321 model android.I work for the Li family. Mr and Mrs Li work very hard too.Mr Li is an architect and designs great tall apartment blocks.Mrs Li is a doctor and has to look after many patients.I remember all the plans for Mr Li's projects and can tell Mrs Li which drugs are the best to give any particular patient. And I also look after their library. I store all the books that they borrow from their school or friends in my brain.Of course my brain is as large as a mountain, so work like that is no trouble to me.I really eat books just like people eat food.

The Lis have a child who is very spoiled. He needs me to remember all his school textbooks so that I can do his homework for him.He just gives me the information on the subject, what has to be done and the page numbers and I get on with it while he enjoys himself with his friends.Sometimes I don't think it is right to do his homework for him - it's somewhat cheating. However, his parents are very concerned at the pressure of work in school these days.The child has too much homework to do. They like him to go to the key school but they also want him to be able to have hobbies, learn to swim and keep fit! Poor child!

So they consider me the most important person in the family after themselves.I am always introduced to their friends and play with visiting children.I am the perfect family academic aid and, although I was not cheap to buy, Mr Li says I was worth every yuan!

2) Practise reading about the second paragraph paying attention to liasion and incomplete explosion. (This step can be chosen according to teaching needs.)

First introduce liaison and incomplete explosion:

Liasion(连读)--- 人们在流利交谈中，音素之间必然会产生连读现象。连读是快速语流的自然结果，也可以使语流更流畅、表达更得体。连读主要发生在一个词组内，有下列三大类：

1)词末辅音和词首元音连读。如：

put it on; take it off

2) 词末元音和词首元音连读。如：

go on; how old

3) 词末不发音的[r]和紧接其后的词的元音连读，

[r]必须发音。如： far away; for ever

Incomplete Explosion(不完全爆破)---爆破音是指发音器官在口腔中形成阻碍,然后气流冲破阻碍而发出的音。这些音有6个,即/p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/和/g/。但在某些情况下,发爆破音时,气流不必冲破阻碍,而只是发音器官在口腔中形成阻碍,并稍做停顿,(也就是说,做好要发出这个爆破音的准备,但不要发出音来),这样的发音过程叫作"不完全爆破"。

不完全爆破的详细情况

1. 爆破音/p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/在/t∫/, /d/, /W/, /e/的前面时不完全爆破。如:

1) Have you rea(d) the book abou(t) tha(t)

child。

2) The thir(d) chair is broken.

2. 爆破音/p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/在/m/, /n/, /l/, /s/的前面时不完全爆破。如:

1) Goo(d) morning, sir.

2) Goo(d) night.

3) They are very frien(d)ly to us.

3. /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/这6个爆破音中的任何两个音素相邻时,前者发不完全爆破音,后者则要完全地。彻底地进行爆破。如:

1) He has a ba(d) col(d) today.

2) You shoul(d) ta(k)e care of the children.3) Gla(d) to meet you.

注意:不完全爆破可以发生在单词。短语或句子中。

Then get the students to read the second paragraph.

Sample:.

This year I ha(d)the honour to be chosen again.I wante(d)to meet robots from other countries and explore ideas about our sport.However, my programmer fell ill the wee(k)before we were going to leave.It was very painful for her and I fel(t)very frightened.I no longer fel(t)so

confiden(t)that I woul(d)win.

Ask: But when robots are highly developed and have feelings, what will happen?

See a film clip TerminatorⅢ.Then have a further discussion:

Some people are afraid that if we develop androids too much, human beings will one day be conquered and replaced by them. Will humans be conquered and replaced by them one day?

Sample:

G: I don't agree that androids will conquer and replace humans in the future because they are made and controlled by people.

B : In my opinion, I agree with the point for the technology is developing faster and faster. I think they will kill people in the future.

G: They can't develop beyond humans' science development. And they can't live without people. For example, if they are broken, they need to be repaired by people. Besides, they don't fall in love with each other so they won't get married. As a result, they have no babies. They will die out soon.

B: Although they are not able to give birth to a baby, they can copy themselves one after another.

G: But there is no evidence that can prove it.

B: However, many resources of the world will be used up soon. Then people can't live on the earth. But robots are still alive.

G: No, they need electricity ,too... ...
