Procedures

Hello, class. This week we shall go and help clean up the city parks. But first what is the meaning of “clean up”? What verb is it?

Turn to page 61 and look at the chart to learn about “phrasal verb”

What is a phrasal verb?

▲It is an English verb followed by one or more particles where the combination behaves as a syntactic and semantic unit; “turn out” is a phrasal verb in the question “how many turned out to vote?”

▲In the English language, a phrasal verb is a verb combined with a preposition, an adverb, or an adverbial particle, all three of which are uninflected.

Being a volunteer is great！

Number 77 High School is home to three very special young people: Li Huiping, Lan Pei, and Zhu Ming. These three students all volunteer their time to help other people. This volunteer work takes each of them several hours a week, so it is a major commitment. Huiping loves to read, and she puts this love to good use by working in the after-school care center at her local elementary school. Here, she helps young children to read. Pei loves animals, and plans to study to be a veterinarian when he leaves school. He spends every Saturday morning working in an animal hospital. Ming wants to be a professional singer. He sings for groups of people at the city hospital to cheer them up.

“Volunteering is great！” says Huiping. “Not only do I feel good about helping other people, but I get to spend time doing what I love to do.” Pei says he has learned more about animals. Ming says he has met some wonderful people at the hospital. The three students plan to set up a student volunteer project at their school. “Don’t put it off,” says Huiping. “Become a volunteer today！”

Closing down by reading an English poem

Falling Asleep in Class

I fell asleep in class today,

as I was awfully bored.

I laid my head upon my desk

and closed my eyes and snored.

I woke to find a piece of paper

sticking to my face.

I'd slobbered on my textbooks

and my hair was a disgrace.

My clothes were badly rumpled

and my eyes were glazed and red.

My binder left a three-ring

indentation in my head.

I slept through class, and probably

I would have slept some more,

except my students woke me

as they headed out the door.

Just for fun

Look at the pictures and make a story out of them.

Reading: I’ll send you a photo of Lucky.

Before you read, listen to the recording without looking at the article.

While you read, underline all the phrasal verbs, blacken all the expressions and circle all the linking words.

After you read, copy down all the phrasal verbs and useful expressions into your notebook.

Dear Miss Li,

I’d like to thank you for sending money to “Animal Helpers”, an organization set up to help disabled people. For sure, you have helped make it possible for me to have “Lucky”, who has filled my life with pleasure. Let me tell you my story.

Being blind, deaf, unable to walk, or use your hands easily is soothing that most people cannot imagine. But there are many people who face these challenges, and I am one of them. Because I cannot use my arms or legs well. Normal things like answering the telephone, opening and shutting doors, or carrying things have always been difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine said that she would like to help me out. She said she would talk to “Animal Helpers” to see if it would be possible for me to get a specially trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I told her I love animals, and that I’d love to have a dog.

After six months of training with a dog at “Animal Helpers”, I was able to bring him home. My dog’s name is “Lucky”- a good name for him because I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m only able to have a “dog-helper” because of your kind donation！

How does Lucky help me, you might ask? Well, he has been trained to understand different instructions. For example, I say, “Lucky！Fetch my book,” and he does it at once. He is very clever, and understands many English words, even some difficult ones like “upstairs”.

Lucky is an amazing dog. I’ll send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me too one day. And so I thank you again for supporting “Animal Helpers”. It is very important that this organization does not run out of money. Your donation is greatly appreciated and the money is well used to help disabled people like me.

Best wishes,

Liz Smith

Part 2: Teaching Resources （第二部分：教學資源）

I. What is a volunteer?

A volunteer is someone who performs or offers to perform a service out of his own free will, often without payment. The year 2001 was the International Year of the Volunteer. 2005 is the UK Year of the Volunteer.

People may volunteer to perform some work, e.g., of charitable character. Some volunteer for clinical trials or other medical research, and may even donate their bodies to science after their death.

II. What is an online Volunteer?

An online volunteer is a person who contributes time and effort with an organization through an online connection, rather than in person. A wide variety of people from around the world are online volunteers and most are not technology professionals.

Online volunteers may provide advice, consultancy and perform remote administration tasks for the organisation, usually a charity or non-profit organisation. The practice of donating time online goes by other names, such as virtual volunteering, cyber service, telementoring, e-volunteering, and cyber volunteering.

There are many opportunities for people to donate their services using the internet. Online volunteers do a variety of tasks, such as translating documents, editing or preparing proposals, designing logos, researching information, developing strategic plans, reviewing budgets, creating web pages, designing flash presentations, moderating online discussion groups and managing other online volunteers.

III. What is an ICT Volunteer?

An ICT volunteer is someone who is working to foster the implementation and use of Information and Communication Technologies. He or she can install hardware, software or carry on with ICT training programmes. There is no need to be an online volunteer to be an ICT volunteer: installing hardware is a good example. Likewise, there is no need to be an ICT volunteer to be an online volunteer: teaching a language through a virtual campus is not related with ICT fostering, at least in a direct way.....
