Unit 1 Friendship
Good morning, dear judges. I’m the No.6 candidate applying for High School English
teacher. My title is: Friendship. Now I’ll begin my presentation.
Pre-reading
Good morning, guys! High school life is just beginning, making friends is very important for us. Today we are going to learn the unit1 friendship. First, I want to ask you two questions. 1. Are you good at making friends ? 2. Do you have good friends?
Let’s do a brainstorming together. What qualities should a good friend have?
Thank you! I believe a lot of people will have their understanding of a good friend. So, we have a questionnaire in our textbook--Warming up：Are you good to your friends? Please finish it in 5 minutes, okay? Time’s up! Now, please check your answer and get your scores. This questionnaire doesn’t matter how high scores you get. It is a self-check.
But, I think you have to consider a question: why do you need friend? Please make of list of reasons and you can discuss with your desk mate. Okay, is there any volunteer who can tell me the reasons? Great, Lucy! Thank you, Lucy, good points! Sit down, please. Lucy needs friends to study together and support each other! And how about Jack. In your mind, why do you need friends? Hah, Jack needs friends to play computer games. You must be kidding me! (Smile…). Okay, I believe you have different answers.
Does a friend always have to be a person? What else can also be your friend? Today, we will know a girl whose friend is not a person. If you want to know why, please skim the first paragraph of the reading passage and find who Anne’s best friend was. Okay, move on! Okay, have you found the answer? Yes, her friend is a dairy. I think you must be curious about that. So, let’s go on and find more about
her.
