一、1. Greeting.

Hello, children. Today there are some teachers here. So please turn round and say “hello” to the teachers. Thank you, children. Sit down, please!

2. Lead-in.

Let’s begin our class. First, let’s play a guessing game. Read the sentences and guess what it is. It’s very old. Think about it. It’s very tall. You can know the time from it. It’s in London. Wow, it’s Big Ben. You are clever. Next one, it’s very long. What is it? Can you guess? It was built in Qin Dynasty. It looks like a very big dragon. And it’s in our country. Yes, you’re right.

It’s the Great Wall.

二、Presentation.

Have you ever been to the Great Wall? What do you know about the Great Wall?

1. Listen and find.

Now Daming is visiting the US. His cousin Simon is interested in the Great Wall, too. So Daming talks about the Great Wall to him. Now let’s listen to their dialogue and find“What are they talking about the Great Wall?”

2. Read and answer.

Please read the dialogue by yourself and answer the questions. Now tell me “How long is the Great Wall?” It’s more than forty thousand li long. And also it’s more than twenty thousand kilometers. Why does Daming say that in different ways? Because “li” is Chinese and “km” is international. Simon lives in the US, so he doesn’t know the Chinese “li”. But how long is twenty thousand km? Look at the map, this is Beijing and this is Xi’an. It’s more than 1000 km from Beijing to Xi’an. That is to say the Great Wall is 20 times longer. Can we walk along all of it? No, it’s really long. Amazing! We have known how long the Great Wall is. But do you know how long the Changjiang River is? How long is the Changle Road? And how long is your desk? For measurement, we have km, m, cm, mm, Can you do it? And how old is the Great Wall? It’s more than two thousand years old. Pay attention to “thousand”. We can see “two”, but no “s” here. It’s a little special. We always say “hundreds of”  and “thousands of” to express “成百上千” and“成千上万”. Now look at this, how old is the Bell Tower? How old is the History museum of Shaanxi? And how old is our school? By the way, how old are you? You are much younger than the Great Wall. You are only 12 years old, but the Great Wall is more than 2000 years old. It’s very very old. That’s amazing!

3. Think and complete.

Now what do you know about the Great Wall from the dialogue? Just give me some key words. We know the location, length and history. Can you help me finish the mind map?

At the end of the dialogue, Simon wants to know more about the Great Wall. If you were Daming, what will you say? What story do you know? Let me tell you. In Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang asked people to build it in order to resist the invasion of Xiongnu. So many people built it for a long time. the story “The tears of Meng Jiangnv” is about it. And also there is a famous saying from Mao Zedong “You are not a true man if you don’t go to the Great Wall.” 

4. Think and say.

We have got many things about the Great Wall. Can you introduce it to others? The mind map can help you. After your introduction, I really want to visit the Great Wall, but before that, let’s enjoy a short video. Now how do  you think of the Great Wall? Use one word. Wow, it’s amazing! And the most incredible, the taikonauts can only see the Great Wall from the moon. It’s amazing indeed! As Chinese, we are all proud of it. Would you please read the dialogue again with your proud emotion?

三、Practice.

As we all know, the Great Wall is a famous place, how to talk about a famous place? We can talk about its history, height, length and so on. Simon will visit Beijing soon. He wants to come to Xi’an, too. Can you introduce the famous places in Xi’an? There are many famous places in Xi’an, such as Huaqing Pool, Terra-Cotta Warriors, Bell Tower. I have two choices for you. Bell Tower and Wild Goose Pagoda. Please talk about one of them with your partner and write a short introduction with the tips.

四、Sum up.

Chinese has brilliant history. Just enjoy it. And learn from it.

五、Supplements.

Today we learnt questions with “how…?” Do you know more about it? Can you complete the sentences?

六、Homework.

1. Know more about “how…?”
2. Write a short passage about a famous place in Xi’an.
