教材分析 本文是一篇问答式的专栏文章，以新媒体语篇形态呈现。语篇设计的语境是野生动物专家回答一些关于澳大利亚特有的动物的疑问，类似科普小品文，深人浅出。在现实生活中，我们也经常通过网络提问或者搜索问题的答案；也有一些网站会将问题进行整理、分类，形成特定主题的问答专区，甚至邀请专家答疑，提供专业的意见。语篇以问题为线索，申联呈现了澳大利亚一些特有动物的有趣内容，甚至还有一些“冷知识”，带给读者较为新颖的阅读视角和体验。本文的第一个问题是关于澳大利亚的象征——袋鼠。这是大多数人都认可的能够代表澳大利亚的标志性动物。专家借此问题向读者详细介绍袋鼠。除了一些特征和习性方面的介绍，专家还诙谐地提醒袋鼠具有攻击性，需要小心。本文的第二个问题引人了大家也同样关心的澳大利亚的另一标志性动物——考拉。专家从考拉的“性格”特点人手，分析了考拉为什么不能让观众随便触摸和拥抱，提醒读者用正确的方式关爱动物。本文的第三个问题谈到了不一定那么讨喜的动物代表——塔斯马尼亚恶魔。专家用风趣的语言告诉读者，这种外形欠佳的动物有着“只闻其声”的特点，而且体味也很难闻。尽管它被称为“恶魔”，但其实对人还算“温柔”。本文的最后一个问题介绍了人们通常不太关注到的动物代表——鸭嘴兽。专家介绍了这种动物的“跨界”特征和一些特别的外貌特点，更重要的是它在动物界可以说“独具一格”的特殊技能。整个语篇语言风格轻松活泼，即便是在回答问题的描述中也采取了互动性很强的语言结构或句式，不断调动读者的阅读兴趣，比如：“Kangaroos can hit and kick very hard， so please folks， if you see some kangaroos， remember they're not for petting!"“So， if you see one in the wild， you shouldn't...”“Frightening!”“Do you know what's really strange about a platypus”等。这样的写作手法大大增加了语篇的趣味性， 也更好地起到了科普小品文的作用，能够更好地激发读者的兴趣去更多地了解知识、亲近自然。 学习目标 By the end of this period, the students will be able to: To learn some amazing animals of Australia, such as kangaroos, koalas, the Tasmanian devil, and the duck-billed platypus ; To learn to use rhetorical devices to arouse readers’ interest in writing.

Activity 5 Writing Sample The most iconic animal of China by far is the panda, because it is not only a kind of rare bears but also one of the rarest animals in the whole world. Giant pandas have a large black-and-white body with a big round face and two black eye patches. They live in temperate-zone bamboo forests in south-western China and are generally quite shy. However, They have been known to attack people although this is a very rare occurrence . So pandas are not cuddly toys but are wild animals and should not be approached in the wild. Since it is regarded as the "national treasure", its image was chosen as the mascot of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Bing Dwen Dwen, the name of the mascot, is designed in the shape of an astronaut panda. Activity 6 Homework Polish your works with your partners.
