Procedures
I. Warming up
Warming up by describing
Good morning, class. Today we are going to read about A PROTECTOR OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE. But first, I’d like to know if you have ever heard of women like Elizabeth Fry, Soong Chingling, Jane Goodall, Jody Williams, Joan of Arc and Lin Qiaozhi. Now turn to page 1, look at the photos, read the captions and describe to your neighbor the women in focus. Who is she? What is she? What did she do to benefit the world?
Warming up by discussing
Hi, every one. How did you spend your winter vacation? Did you read any books? Did you read any women of achievement? What makes a woman of achievement? Now in pairs discuss the women on page one. Which of these women do you think is a great woman? Give reasons for your choice.

Warming up by reading aloud and translating
Nice to see you back at school, boys and girls. As you have all prepared lessons before class I shall ask six of you at random to read aloud and translate the captions under the photos on page one. Zhao Yanfei, would you try reading aloud and translating the first caption?
（Key: 伊麗莎白弗賴伊是一位教友派信徒。她幫助改善了監(jiān)禁條件，向囚犯提供工作和教育機會。 她的工作幫助教友派贏得了1947年度的諾貝爾和平獎。）
Well done! Next let’s have Ju Xiaohong do the second one.
II. Pre-reading
1. Looking and saying
Work in pairs. Look at the photos and the title A PROTECTOR OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE and predict the contents of the text. When you are ready, join another pair and compare your predictions and the clues that helped you to make the predictions.
(Key: From the photos and title I guess that the text tells about a woman scientist who is working in Africa to protect the wildlife there. She studies a family of chimps, delivers a speech on their behaviour, arguing for them to be left in the wild and protected. )
2. Talking and sharing
Work in groups of four. Tell your group mates what you know about wildlife protection. Then the group leader is to stand up and share your group idea with the class.
(Key: I am from Group 3. We think that Jane is a woman of achievement. For she has helped people understand how much chimps behave like humans. Because of her we know that it is better for the animals to be left in the wild or in the special places set up for them. )

IV. Closing down
Closing down by doing exercises
To end the lesson you are to do the comprehending exercises No. 1 and 2.
Closing down by having a discussion
Do you agree with Jane’s ideas? Why or why not?
(Key: I agree with Jane’s idea, because leaving the animals in the wild is the only good way to protect them. The animals belong to the forest, just as we belong to the civilized world. ) What do you think is the best way to protect wildlife?
(Key: I think the best way is to understand and respect the life of animals. Setting up special places where they can live safely is important and effective)

I shall write some key words and expressions on the board. You are to retell the story of Jane Goodall according to these words.
(Key: visit the chimps, watch the chimps, understand chimp behaviour, argue for…, set up special places)
2．A sample lesson plan for Learning about Language
(Subject-verb agreement)
Aims
To help students learn about subject-verb agreement.
To help students discover and learn to use some useful words and expressions.
To help students discover and learn to use some useful structures.
Procedures
I. Warming up
Warming up by discovering useful words and expressions
Turn to page 4 and do exercises No. 1, 2 ,3 and 4 first. Check your answers against your classmates’.
大自然的呼喚
II. Learning about grammar
1. Reading and thinking
Turn to page 2 and read with me the text of A PROTECTOR OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE. As you read on, pay attention to the forms of sentence predicates and the subject-verb agreement shown in the sentences.
(For reference: Our group are…, Watching a family of chimps is…, Nobody before has fully understood…)
2. Doing exercises No. 1 and 2 on page 5
Turn to page 5. Look at the two sentences: Our group are all going to visit the chimps in the forest. And Our group includes six boys and five girls. Have you noticed any difference between them? Yes. If the word “group ” refers to different members, use a plural verb. If the word “group” is considered as a whole, use a singular verb. Now fill in the blanks with the proper form of the given verbs in brackets on page 5. And then go on to do Exercise No. 2 on the same page, that is, fill in the correct verb form in the letter.
III. Ready used materials for Subject-verb agreement
I got a hold of some bad pork chops the other day, and they didn't agree with me. Stomach aches aren't very pleasant. Don't you agree?
We all know these meanings of "agree," but when we talk about subject-verb agreement, we're talking about something different: matching subjects and verbs according to number. That is, when you have a singular subject, you have to match it with a singular verb form: The boy plays. When you have a plural subject, you must have a plural verb form: The boys play.
In short, simple sentences, you should have no problem with agreement. You can hear the problem: The boys plays. When it's wrong , it just sounds funny. However, there are four potential problem spots that you need to watch carefully:
o stuff in between the subject and verb
o reversed sentence order
o "-body," "-one," and "-thing" words
o "who," "which," and "that"
Stuff in between subjects and verbs
The stuff here is usually a prepositional phrase that separates the subject from the verb. Remember how we crossed out prepositional phrases in order to find the subject? Do the same thing if you're having problems with agreement. Now, thinking about that, look at the following sentence and decide what's wrong with it:
The dishes in the kitchen is dirty.
Good guess! The subject and the verb don't agree. What's the probable cause for the problem? Kitchen (a singular noun) is right in front of is (a singular verb). If kitchen were the subject, that would be okay. But, it's not. Cross out the prepositional phrase and you're left with:
The dishes in the kitchen is dirty.
"The dishes . . . is dirty?" Sounds wrong, doesn't it? The subject is plural, but the verb is singular. They don't agree. The correct version is:
The dishes in the kitchen are dirty.
Once you know how to look for this problem, it shouldn't be too hard to get rid of it when you proofread your paper.
Reversed sentence order
The normal pattern for English sentences is subject-verb. However, there are a few situations where this order is reversed (like this sentence):
o There are snacks on the laundry-room table.
o Where are they?
o On the table are the goodies!
See how the subject comes after the verb in each of these? If you can remember how to locate subjects and verbs, you shouldn't blunder into mistakes when writing reversed-order sentences.
"-body," "-one," and "-thing" words
The correct term for these words is indefinite pronouns, but if you remember them as "-body," "-one," and "-thing" words, you'll probably be able to spot them more easily. You only need to know one thing: if a word has one of these endings (like everybody, everyone, anyone, anything, etc.), it is always singular! You can also include each, either, and neither in this group. Look at the following:
1. Everyone is going on a picnic.
2. Each of the boys is taking his own lunch.
3. If anyone drops something to eat, I'll grab it before he can pick it up.
You shouldn't have problems with these if you simply memorize the endings of words that are always singular.
NOTE: We said that either and neither are always singular; however, if you have two subjects in an either . . . or or neither . . . nor construction, getting the agreement right may give you fits. To get it right, just locate the subject closest to the verb and make the verb agree with it:
o Either the mailman or the construction workers are causing Peggy to bark like crazy.
o Neither the dogs down the street nor the one next door pays any attention.
Compare this with the following:
o Either the construction workers or the mailman is causing Peggy to bark like crazy.
o Neither the one next door nor the dogs down the street pay any attention.
Agreement, in this case, depends on the placement of the subject.
"Who," "which," and "that"
Remember dependent clauses? They have a subject and a verb, but they can't stand alone. That's what we're dealing with here, but with a little something extra. Now we've got to consider pronouns. A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun that comes before it, usually in the same clause or one very close to it.
Peggy is a troublemaker. She bites my ears and steals my food.
"Who," "which," and "that" are pronouns. When they take the place of a singular noun, they are singular; when they take the place of a plural noun, they are plural. This is important to remember when they are the subject of a clause. Compare the following sentences:
1. Big Dog is one of those animals who are very intelligent.
2. Big Dog is an animal who is very intelligent.
In both, who is the subject of a dependent clause. In number 1, it takes the place of animals (a plural form). That's why "are" is the correct verb choice. In number 2, who takes the place of animal (a singular form), and that's why "is" is correct.
This may seem a bit confusing at first, but there's a way to get it right every time. If you find "who," "which," or "that" introducing a dependent clause (like in the examples above):
1. Look at the word right in front of it (usually that's the word it takes the place of).
2. Decide if the word is singular or plural (that will tell you whether "who," "which," or "that" is singular or plural).
3. Make the verb agree!
That's all there is to it!
IV. Closing down by doing a quiz
To end the period you are going to take a quiz on subject-verb agreement.

(Time: Sunday evening; Place: at home; People: Mom and I )
I: Mom, do you know anything about Lin Qiaozhi?
Mom: No, but you may turn on the computer and get online to do some research on her.
I: All right, thanks. Look, I get her. It seemed that Lin Qiaozhi had been very busy traveling abroad, studying and writing books and articles.
Mom: What books did she write?
I: It is a small book on how to cut the death rate from having and caring babies by following some simple rules.
Mom: What are the rules? Tell me more about them.
I: They are simply rules for keeping babies clean and healthy.
Mom: Why did she write that? Who are the women that she thought needed that advice?
I: Let me see. Mom, I think it is intended for women living in the countryside. Perhaps they could not reach a doctor.
Mom: When did she live? I mean Lin Qiaozhi.
I: Here it is. She lived in the early 20th century.
Mom: Oh, that’s before the liberation and the founding of New China. It’s a long time ago. It must have been very difficult for her to get a medical training.
I: Why is that, Mom?
Mom: Because women’s education was always placed second to men’s. I am sure it was hard work and determination as well as her good nature that got her into medical school.
I: Mom, you are right. She is great for her kindness and consideration shown to all her patients.
Mom: So what about you, son? Have you made up your mind as to what to study at college?
I: Sure, mom. I will go to a medical university, to be a doctor as great as she is.

DESCRIBE A FAMOUS PERSON YOU ADMIRE
Mother Teresa is a great woman though she has died. She spent her whole life helping the poorest of the poor. Today, she is renowned and respected around the world.
Mother Teresa was born on 26th august 1910 and named Christened Agnes Bojaxhiu. She grew up in the Serbian town of Skopje, which was a poor country at that time. Her whole family was Christians. When she was twelve years old, she expressed her wish to become a nun. As she wanted to be sure on her wish, she spent six years pondering about this decision. At last, she made up her mind and worked as a nun to help the poorest people in India.
After becoming sister Teresa, she said that she received a message from god that god wanted her to go to the slums to live with the poor. Her worked started. She founded a new congregation called the missionaries of Christianity in Calcutta. It helped the poor, the sick, orphans, alcoholics, drug addicts and even the aids patients. Mother Teresa was not afraid of infection. She looked after the patients herself and loved them. She never stopped taking care if them and never considered giving up anyone of them.
Her work was made known to the world. Some people supported her but some didn’t. She didn’t care. She continued her work and setup other missionaries around the world. She gave love to all the poor in other parts of the world, not only in India. Although she was seriously ill, she never ceased to help the poor. Her work was recognized by the world when she was awarded the Nobel Prize in peace in 1997. She contributed the money she received to the missionary of charity.
Mother Teresa died of cardiac arrest on 5th September 1997 in the missionaries’ Calcutta headquarters. Million of people over the world mourned over the loss of this remarkable woman who was a shining example of goodness and love all her life. I regard her as a role model. I wish I could contribute myself for the good of the world like she did.

III. China Marks 100th Birthday of Chinese Gynecological Pioneer 中國紀(jì)念婦科先驅(qū)百年誕辰
Many well-known doctors, senior legislators and public health officials gathered in Beijing on Friday to mark the 100th birthday of the late Professor Lin Qiaozhi, a pioneer in gynaecology in China and a well-respected doctor.
In over sixty years of medical service as a gynecologist and an obstetrician, Professor Lin, also known as Lim Kha T'i, delivered more than 50,000 babies.
Professor Lin, who died in 1983 at the age of 82, was well respected in China for her exceptional medical skills and her excellent medical ethics.
Top Chinese legislator Li Peng has written an inscription in honor of Lin which reads: "Cherishing Forever the Memory of Outstanding Medical Scientist, Professor Lin Qiaozhi".
At a gathering Friday at the Great Hall of the People, Wang Guangying, a senior legislator, and Qian Zhengying, senior leader in China's top national advisory body, unveiled a copper statue in honor of Professor Lin.
In addition, a gynecological and obstetrical institute named after Lin Qiaozhi was unveiled Friday at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.
Lin made a great contribution to popular science and to maternal and child health care. She was made a posthumous member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1995.
Lin, a native of Xiamen, Fujian Province, graduated from Peking Union Medical College in 1929 and underwent post-graduate studies at Manchester and London Universities in Britain between 1932 and 1933, and Chicago University in the United States between 1939 and 1940.

Since its foundation, the CWCA has run various programs to promote education, propaganda, and fund-raising. For example, "Bird-loving week", wetland conservation, and specialized training, It holds meetings and activities such as the international conference on wildlife conservation in China'87. It has also conducted joint research programs with wildlife conservation organization in the US, Germany, and other countries and regions. In 1984, CWCA become a member of the IUCN(the world conservation union). In order to promote
international exchange, CWCA has arranged for exhibits in the US, Canada, Ireland, Belgium, and Singapore and other countries of rare Chinese animals, including the giant panda and golden monkey.
