T: It’s time to do practice. Work in pairs. Imagine that you are Wang Kun and Wang Wei. Choose a paragraph from the passage and use the information to help you make up a dialogue. Two minutes later, I’ll ask a pair of students to act out your dialogue. A sample:
Wang Wei: You know, we’ve always wanted to do a long bike trip. Why don’t we go
on one after we graduate from college?
Wang Kun: That’s a good idea. Where are we going?
Wang Wei: Why not cycle along the entire Mekong River from where it begins to
where it ends?
Wang Kun: Well. We should plan it well.
Wang Wei: Let me plan our schedule. I can organize the trip properly.
T: Good. Sit down, please. Now it’s time to deal with Exercise 5 on page 19. Compare the following sentences with different stresses and explain the meaning. Follow the example. Two minutes later.
T: Now, who’d like to explain the first sentence? Volunteer!
S1: I think it says: It’s a surprise to learn that half the river is in China. T: Quite right. Sentence Two?
S2: We were both surprised to learn that the Chinese part of the river forms a half of the river.
T: Ok. The last sentence.
S3: We were both surprised to learn that it is in china that half the river is.
T: Good. We can see that different stresses express different meanings of the narrator. Step 5 Summing up and homework

Wang Kun and his sister dreamed about taking a great bike trip since middle school. After graduation from college, they finally got the chance to make their dream come true. His sister thought of the idea to cycle along the Mekong River. They both bought expensive bikes. They also got their cousins interested in cycling. Wang Wei stuck to the idea that they found the source and began their journey there. When she heard that the source of the Mekong River is in Qinghai Province, she wouldn’t change her mind. She even felt excited when she knew that their journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters. Before the trip they found a large atlas in the library. From the atlas they knew clearly about the Mekong River. 三 德育渗透
