t: look at the text again. how many parts can we divide it into? (ss respond.) yeah, three parts. the 1st part is the 1st paragraph, the 3rd part is the last paragraph, and those paragraphs in the middle belong to the 2nd part.
t: now, read the 1st part and answer the two questions on the screen. i will give you one minute.
①do newspapers and other media simply record what happens? what do experienced editors and reporters do?
②who were asked to be interviewed to tell us more about news and newspapers?
 (a minute later, check the answers and explain some of the difficult points: “more than”, “make informed decisions”, “relate to”.)
t: ok, now read the 2nd part and answer the above five questions. three minutes for you.
③ what is the editor’s job?
④ is interviewing someone difficult? what must a reporter know?
⑤ which article is chen ying’s favourite one?
⑥ what would zhu lin like to write about?
⑦ what is the basic task for a reporter?

 (three minutes later, check the answers and explain some of the difficult points: “spiritual fulfillment”, “truthfully”.)
t: well done! now read the last part and answer two more questions. i will give a minute.
⑧ what is the topic sentence of the last paragraph?
⑨ what result can tv programmes and printed articles bring to us?

step5 follow the tape (4 mins)
t: ok, so much for the questions. now, i will play the tape, try to follow it and read aloud.
(ss follow the tape.)
step6: discussion                           (10 mins)
1.explain the task to the ss and give them an example.
2.ss discuss about the given topic and make a dialogue with their partners.
3.ss show their dialogues.
t: well, in the text, zhu lin says that he would like to write about music, art, nature and the importance of spiritual fulfillment, because he want to explore the mysteries in life. if i were a reporter, maybe i would like to write about love stories, because true love is very moving. how about you? if you were a reporter, what would you like to write about? and why? now discuss this question with your partner and then make a dialogue. here is an example for you.
