(write them on the blackboard.)
t:now read the two paragraphs in this part.after reading,please tell me what they talk about.(two minutes later.)are you ready?who’d like to tell us your opinions?
s10:i’ll try.the first paragraph tells us ebenezer scrooge is a greedy,cold,mean,bad merchant.he is only interested in profit and money.he doesn’t care for his employees.he is the stereotype model in his time.
s11:i think the second paragraph tells us in modern times,some companies don’t think of their workers,and make products that do harm to the public.
t:yes,you are right.we often watch tv or read newspapers to learn some reports about workers who are hurt because of unsafe measures,and reports about fake food products and medicine.many people are disabled or die from these unsafe products.each of us must learn how to protect our own rights.today,we’ll discuss the responsibilities of business people towards both their employees and their customers.work in groups and give a free talk about your ideas.the key words below can help you.
(after students’ discussion,teacher asks one of each group to give their opinions.)
