t:now look at the speaking part on page 39.here are several readers,who have written to the local newspaper complaining about its advertisements and an editor,who is in charge of the newspaper’s advertisement section.(teacher writes the phrase“in charge of” on the blackboard and explains it to the students.)
first finish the role card.then prepare a meeting between concerned readers and the editor.work in groups.one of you acts as the editor,the others act as the readers.before you start,i’ll explain a phrase to you.
(write the phrase—be to blame for sth. on the blackboard and explain it to the students.
then teacher puts the students in groups of five and gets them to prepare for a few minutes.at the end,teacher asks one or two groups to report their work to the rest of the class.)
a sample dialogue:
editor:now,everybody is here.i have recently received some letters complaining about the ads.who’d like to be the first to tell me your problems about the product you bought?
reader a：the ads in your newspaper say that he/she will lose weight if one uses the products,but after i tried them,they didn’t work on me.i didn’t lose any weight.
editor:oh,i’m sorry to hear that.maybe you didn’t use them according to the instructions.or you should continue trying them.if they don’t have any effect on you,you can contact with us.we’ll find out the truth and help you to make up for your loss.
reader b:i am very upset because i have just lost a lot of money after answering an ad in your newspaper.the ad was full of lies.i think that your newspaper should be responsible and help me get money back.
editor:oh,really?that must have been caused by our carelessness.we didn’t tell if what the ads said was true or false before we printed the ads.it is our fault.afterwards we’ll help you get your money back.
reader d:many students in our school eat too much junk food.i think the newspaper is to blame for this because there are too many of such ads about junk food.
editor:i think ads are necessary because ads can provide information for customers and can also increase the product sales.
reader d:but it has an bad effect on the students.
editor:well.we shall restrict the number of ads about junk food for the students’ health.
