What can you see in the picture
Look and Say
A student is crossing the road at the zebra crossing.
There is a stop sign nearby.
We can say the boy follows the traffic rules.
Free Talk
Besides traffic rules, what other kinds of rules are there in our lives
Watch the video and answer the questions.
1 What kinds of rules do you need
to follow in daily life
2 Can you give an example
Starting out
Read the quotes and answer the questions.
Nothing can be done without norms or standards.—Mencius
不以规矩,不能成方圆。——孟子
Good order is the foundation of all things. —Edmund Burke
n. 基础
PS: Edmund Burke was an 18th-century Irish-British politician and philosopher, known as the father of modern conservatism（保守主义）.
1 What do these quotes mean
2 Which one do you agree with more Why
Both quotes highlight the importance of rules and order. Mencius says rules (like tools for drawing) are needed to do things right. Burke argues good order is the base for everything to work well. They tell us rules/order help individuals and society function.
I agree more with Mencius. His metaphor (using tools to draw) is easy to get. It shows rules are practical “tools” for success. Like, traffic rules (norms) help us drive safely. So his quote connects well with daily life.
Understanding ideas
Look at the picture and answer the questions. Use the words and expressions to help you.

Read the passage and find out how the passengers on a train broke rules.
1 After a busy day at work, I got on the train to go home. I went to
a quiet area in order to read. I sat down and took out my book.
2 Suddenly, a girl opposite me started playing loud music on her
phone. What a shock! I almost jumped up in surprise.
3 A minute later, the man next to me took out several packets of
food. It was like he was on a picnic. People have to eat, of course, but the food was so smelly! It was like sitting next to a mountain of blue cheese.
4 I covered my ears in order to block the noise coming from
Rock Girl. I covered my nose so as to reduce the smell coming from Mr Smelly Food.
5 Then a boy behind me started to kick my seat. My anger grew.
My face turned as red as a tomato! I asked him to stop. However, his mother replied, “Come on, he's just a kid."
6 I turned around so as to see the other passengers' faces. They
also seemed unhappy; but no one did anything. Will they think me
a fool if I do something I looked at the signs on the wall. They
read “Please be quiet”, “No smelly food” and “Please look after
your children”. Everyone knows the rules, I thought. They aren't
just on the wall but also in our minds and hearts. And rules are
there for us to follow!

Think and share
1 What do you think will happen next in the story
2 Have you ever seen people break some rules What did you do
Learning to think for question 1
To guess what happens next in a story, use information you know. You can think about characters' actions and thoughts. You can also consider causes and effects within the story.
What do you think will happen next in the story
I think the writer will tell the girl to turn off the loud music, ask the man to stop eating smelly food and tell the boy's mother to make her child stop kicking the seat. Maybe he will point to the signs on the wall and say, "We should follow the rules in public places." The other passengers around might support him, and the girl, the man and the boy's mother will feel sorry and stop their bad behaviors. Then the train will become quiet and comfortable again.
Have you ever seen people break some rules What did you do
Yes, I have seen people break rules before. Once, I saw someone litter on the street. I picked up the litter and threw it into the dustbin nearby. Then I politely told the person that littering is bad for the environment and that we should keep public places clean. The person felt sorry and said they wouldn't do it again. It's important to follow rules to make our city better!
