Meanwhile write the name of different English-speaking countries in the world. Ask the students ‘Do you think they speak the same English?’ It’s not difficult for the students toknow the differences of British and American English. To arouse the students’ interest I would liketo say something about Australian English, too. STEP 2 Matching the two words that refer to the same thingsTell the students that people use different words to talk about the same things. Ask the students toopen their book and match the two words that refer to the same things.

STEP 3 Doing Part B on page 19Get the students to finish doing Part B on page 19. Show the pictures and ask the students to speak out both the British and American words out loudly. STEP 4 Working in groupsDivide the whole class into two groups. Tell the first group is now studying in a British school andthe second group is in American school. Show more pictures and get the students to talk about it. *Show a picture of a dustbin. Our school is clean and tidy. We never drop things carelessly, because it is easy to find a ______________ in our school. *Show a picture of a rubber. When we make mistakes in our homework, we need a/an _______________ to help correct them. *Show a picture of American football. We _______________(often/ seldom) play ________________ after school. *Show a picture of autumn.The ____________ of our school is very beautiful. Tree leaves turn yellow or red. …and so on. Do as many as possible, because this can not only help the students to understand the difference between American English and British English, but also get them to focus on the topic ‘School Life’. STEP 5 Guessing what they are talking about?Show the first picture of Comic Stripes to the student without the words. Ask the students to guesswhat they are talking about?Play the tape for the students to listen and find out the answer to the questions.Get the students to read and feel the humor here. (In fact, Eddie has no idea what school is likeand why people need to got to school. However, he still thinks dogs are clever. )If the students have no problem in understanding the dialogue, get them to practice the dialogue in pairs and act out the dialogue in front of the class. Encourage the students to add something to make the dialogue funnier and more interesting. Teachers should give some comments and praise the groups for their acting and creativeness.STEP 6 Talking about the sentencesTalking about the following two sentences:We are smarter than people.There are fewer advertisements. It is very possible that the students may have some problems with the usage of ‘like’.What is school like? It’s like watching TV. It is necessary to put it clear here that the ‘like’ here is a preposition. It has the meaning of ‘像’ inChinese. It is usually followed by words or structures with the function of nouns to form thestructure“ prep. + obj. ”. STEP 7 Giving some reasons for your ideasEddie thinks school life is like watching TV. What do you think of our school life? Encourage thestudents to give some reasons for their ideas by offering a sentence pattern on the black board.

It is very necessary for our teacher to lead the students to talk about the brighter side for the kid todevelop a active attitude towards school life as well as to study. STEP 8 Homeworka.
