四、教学过程
Step 1 Leading in
1. Greet the class briefly.
2. Discuss with the students like this:
Teacher: Look at the pictures, try to use “use to do” to describe these pictures.
I used to like P.E. class when I was a child.
I used to hate music class when I was a child.
I used to like ice-cream when I was a child.
I used to hate milk and eggs when I was a child.
Step 2 Pre-reading
Li Wen is a 15-year-old boy from the countryside. His parents are working in the city. Look at the title of the passage and the picture below. What problems do you think he might have
Using the sentence context may help you guess and learn the meanings of new words and phrases.
Missing language:
A. They had a long talk
B. Now Li Wen has really changed
C. However, things began to change a few years ago
D. His teacher was worried about him
3. Ask the students to read the article and underline the sentence for each paragraph.
4. Underline the topic sentence for each paragraph.
Step 3 While-reading
1. Teacher: Read the passage again and underline the problems that Li Wen used to have.
He became less interested in studying.
Sometimes he was absent from classes, and he failed his examinations.
Li Wen was shy and was not able to make friends quickly in school.
2. Use clues from the passage to help you guess the meanings of the words: influence, absent, boarding school, in person
对比李文的父母外出找工作前后李文的行为和思想表现；再由下文“他变得对学习不感兴趣、逃课、考试不及格”等情况的出现，可知是李文不高兴的情绪“影响”了他的学业。故influence一词应意为“影响”。
由上下文“他对学习不再感兴趣”、 “他考试不及格”，以及关键词classes，可以推测“他经常缺课”，可知absent意为“缺席，不再”。
由上文“ … he was absent from classes and failed his examination”和“Li Wen’s parents made the decision”可知其父母送其去了一所寄宿制学校。
由下文“His parents took a 24-hour train and a 5-hour bus ride to get to Li Wen’s school.”可知其父母费如此大的周折赶回家来，就是因老师的建议“亲自和他们的儿子进行交谈” ，故可推测in person意为“亲自地”。
3. Teacher: Complete the passage with the proper forms of the words and phrases in the box.
be proud of / take pride in
make a decision / decide
miss / be absent from
change / influence
look after / take care of
