2. What’s your favorite city? Why?

3. What cultural relics are there in your hometown? How important are they?

Choose 3 or 4 students to answer each question. (4 minutes)

Hints: 1. The capital of a country/ centre of transportation/ with large population/ some important events happened in that city./ some great people have been there,etc.

2.The reason: nice weather/ beautiful scenery/ special custom/ hometown,etc.

3.Yue Temple, Bai Causeway, Su Causeway, Li Ying Temple, etc. They are important parts of Hangzhou’s history.

Goals: These questions are aimed at cultivating student’s speaking ability and the way of thinking and also spirit of teamwork.

Step3 Skimming (5 minutes)

Give students 3 minutes to go through the passage as fast as possible while the tape should be played in order to limit the time of reading. Students can underline or circle important words and sentences. After that, give them some simple questions to answer.

1. When was St Petersburg built and who built it?（300 years ago, Russian Czar Peter the Great.）

Teach some new words: the Neva River, the Russian Czar, Peter the Great, St Petersburg.

These words should be explained in accordance with certain background. That is to say, let student know something about Russian history.

Step4 Scanning (19 minutes)

Ⅰ Deal with the important words, expressions and some grammar points.(3 minutes)

Word: restore, replace, recreate, in ruins, under attack, give in, in pieces, bring…back to life, come true, under attack.

Goals: Grasp the useful expressions, language points, important sentence structures and grammar points. This can help students understand the text more easily.

Questions:

1. Why do people think St Petersburg is a great city?

2. Why was it so difficult for people to rebuild the old palaces?

3. What did people use to help them rebuild the city?

4． Why are the people of St Petersburg heroes?

Choose several students to answer. (6 minutes)

Possible answers:

1. People think that St Petersburg is a great city because it was built by a great Russian Czar and has been the center of many important historic events. More importantly, it survived the Germans attack in 1941 and its people did everything they could to make it as beautiful as it once was.

2. The palaces were so badly damaged in the war that people thought it was almost impossible to rebuild them. Few modern Russian artists knew exactly what the palaces looked like and there were many missing parts and pieces. The project, restoring the former glory of the city, required hard work, patience and devotion.

3. The Russian artists used old paintings and photographs to rebuild St Petersburg.

4. The people of St Petersburg are heroes because they have made something impossible possible. They have successfully rebuilt the palaces without destroying their old beauty. With hard work, patience, devotion and love for their cultural relics, they have shown that dreams can come true.

Goals: These questions are raised to train students’ ability of summarizing, organizing and cooperation as well as to achieve the ethic aims

Step 5 free asking (3 minutes)
