Discussion

Imagine you and your classmates want to donate some of your pocket money to help those in need in another country. Work as a team and decide how much of your pocket money you would like to donate. What would you do with your group’s donation? Do you think the gifts like those in “The World’s Most Useful Catalogue” are a good idea? Give at least two reasons for your answers.

A: I’ll donate 100 yuan, because I have

to pay for my textbooks myself next

term. And our group donate 500

yuan altogether, which equals $65.

We would like to buy Water for a

family ($65). Maybe that’s not too

much money.

But we can do our best to help, even to

save. Therefore, I think it is a good idea

to have “The World’s Most Useful

Catalogue”. If everyone in the rich

countries of the world does the same

things, a lot of people will be saved

instead of dying of hunger or thirst.

Topic two:

Add to the gift list on the Internet

page three more gifts that you think

might be important for those in need in

another country. Share your choice with

another group and give at least two

reasons for your choice.

B: We would like to add to the gifts: a

wireless radio, a TV set, a

computer. With these three, they

can know more about the world

and learn more about science and

technology. They can even get

distance education, or got to school

in the air. Another group told us that

they would like to add condoms to the

list. As far as I know, more and more

people in poor countries are infected

with AIDS. Condoms can prevent

them from being infected with AIDS.

Topic three:

Do you think your class would like

to raise money to buy a gift from “The

World’s Most Useful Catalogue”?

Take a vote on it. Imagine your class

has raised $250. What gifts from the

catalogue would you buy for those in

need in another country?

C: We believe our class will agree to raise

money to buy a gift from “The World’s

Most Useful Catalogue” and I’m sure

we can raise more than $250. With the

money, we will buy school books ($20),

Basic health-care services ($30), one

year of primary schooling for three

($35×3), and

a loan to set up a small business ($85).

I think, after one year of primary

school, they can read books and

improve their living. Thanks to the

knowledge they get from the books,

they may set up a small business, on

condition that they are healthy enough.

Homework

1. Ask Ss to work in groups and talk

about the donations. If possible,

encourage them to do for the poor

children in poor areas in our

country or in other countries.

2. Pick out the sentences with

attributive clauses in the passage we

learned today and in “A LETTER

FROM PLAN INTERNATIONAL”

on Page 73.

3. Preview Writing on Page 36.
