Learning Methods Analysis of students: Since our students just graduated from junior high school, they have a certain ability to read, but they are poor in speaking, and autonomic learning and cooperative learning skills. Some students are not active enough in class, and just wait for the teacher’s explanation.

Step I Self-learning Intent of design: enable Ss to be familiar with the words, expressions and the background of this unit, so that it will be easier for them to understand when I talk about them later, because many students will think it’s very difficult and won’t pay attention if there is a long passage on the screen. Besides, words and expressions are the basis, and some of them can help Ss to express their opinions when they talk about friendship later.

Step II Lead-in 1. What’s your opinion about friendship? (Refer to P46) 2. List as many adjectives as possible to describe the qualities of a good friend (group competition):

Intent of design: arouse Ss’ interest in learning English; nurture their sense of cooperation and competition; also enhance their understanding of friendship and the qualities of a good friend.

Intent of design: improve Ss’ scanning skill and enable them to find out the structure of this passage by its framework. This way, Ss will be more interested than just answer some questions like the traditional way.

Step IV Self-assessment 1. Are you a good friend? Do the survey on P1 by yourself and add up your score. 2. Are you familiar with Anne and the background?

Intent of design: enable Ss to know whether they are a good friend; see whether they are familiar with Anne and the background.

Step V Enhance memory Last year, Peter set out for America to study. That was the first time that he had left his parents; as a result, he suffered from loneliness. Meanwhile，his parents were very concerned about his life and safety. Happily, he has gradually settled in America and has been getting along well with his classmates. When in trouble, he tries to find ways to overcome it. It is these little steps in his daily life that have added up to his complete independence. Now, he is no longer tired of college life.

Intent of design: help Ss remember some of the words and expressions in this unit, because a context will help enhance their memory.
