step 6 rewriting sentencessay ‘sadly, it is very difficult for giant pandas to survive in the wild.’ and write the sentence on the board. then try to rewrite the sentence into the following sentences. ‘it is dangerous for giant pandas to live on in the wild.’ ‘they are in danger.’these are some very important sentence patterns in the passage. also it is necessary for the teacher to point out that ‘live on’ has a similar meaning with ‘survive’. this may also help the students to understand that we can use ‘be dangerous’ or ‘be in danger’ to talk about a similar situation. step 7 finding out that why they are in dangerget the students to find out that why they are in danger. to make the task easier, the teacher can show the following before hand. if hunters _________(catch) a giant panda, they _________ (kill) it for its fur.if the farmers __________(cut) down trees and forests, giant pandas _______ (have) nowhere to live. if people __________ (find) baby pandas alone, they ________(take) them away. as a result, the students’ attention will be easily drawn to the use of ‘if’-clauses. guide the students to focus on the tense of the subordinate- clauses and main clauses. (i think it is ok for some teachers to use ‘主將從現’ to make summary here. at least it may help the students to remember this phenomenon.) explain the phrases here ‘kill…for…’, ‘cut down’, ‘have nowhere to live’ ‘find sb. adj’ and ‘take…away’.step 8 talking about the actions people take to protect the pandassay ‘if we do nothing, soon there will be no giant pandas in the world.’ and then get them to talk about the actions people take to protect the pandas. we must take the following actions to protect them. we can make giant panda reserves bigger. • we can build more reserves . • we can encourage farmers to leave the giant panda reservesdirect students’ attention to the use of ‘make sb. adj.’ and ‘encourage sb. to do sth.’ . if time permits, give more examples. step 9 reading though the whole passage againget the students to read though the whole passage again, focusing on the different language points.step 10 more exercises about the language pointsdo more exercises about the language points to check. 1.she looks _____________(health).2.when tom was born, he ___________(weigh) 6 jin. 3.we should encourage him ___________(help) his good friend. 4.we ask the ___________(hunt) not to hunt the animals.5.if it snows tomorrow, the primary school students _______(stay) at home.
