major, local, represent, curious, Columbia, introduce, approach, touch, cheek, stranger, spoken, express, action, Jordan, nod, general, avoid, comedy

Yesterday, another student and I , representing our university’s student association, went to the CapitalInternationalAirport to meet this year’ international students.
…I saw several young people enter the waiting area looking around curiously.
She stepped back appearing surprised and put up her hands, as if in defence.
2. Ability aims:
a. Enable the students to realize the importance of body language.
b. Enable the students to understand the text.
c. Enable the students to retell the text in their own words.
3. Moral aims:
Help the students learn how to explain the common idea—“different cultures, different body languages” with the target language in this unit.

Teaching important point:
How does body language differ among people from different cultures?

Teaching difficult point:
The understanding of the poorly-written reading text, especially the relationship awkwardly built up between “you” and the other people in the text, who are met by the awkward arrangement of the compilers of the textbook.

Teaching procedures:
Step 1 Lead-in
Ask students listen to If you’re happy and act to the music.
Then tell them we can express the feelings by body language.
Step 2 Warming-up
Ask students whether the same gestures always have the same meanings even in different countries. Then show some pictures to them. Students can easily tell the different meanings in the same gestures. Then ask them what will happen if people from different countries meet together.
Step 3  Reading
1. Scanning
    While reading, please try to divide the whole passage into several parts and find out the main idea.

Part 3. (para. 4  )

教学反思
经过前一天的热身，学生对于肢体语言已经不再陌生，因而能够得到比较好的回应。阅读课的设计采用了听读，默读，齐读等方式，并设有相应的练习，使得学生在看文章时能够有的放矢。从整体来看，过程流畅，过度自然，不失为一堂好的阅读课。但是在总结部分难度过大，对于高一学生而言，比较吃力。
