The Draft of Teaching Demonstration
Good afternoon, gentlemen.I am No.2. It is my great honor to be here to present my topic. Today I will talk about Global Warming in Unit from Book 6.
(The analysis of teaching material:)
This is a reading passage. It plays a very important part in this unit. By studying this passage, students can improve their reading skills and comprehensive ability.
My Teaching aims are as follows:
1. Knowledge aim is to understand the main idea of the text.
2. Ability aim is to retell the text in their own words.
3. Emotional aim is to know something more about the function of the topic.
And my Teaching focus is how to understand the text better, and teaching difficulty is to use your own words to retell the text.
(About the students:
1. The studnets have known something about the functions of topic from internet.
2. They don't often use English to express themselves and communicate with others.
3. Some students are not active in the class because they are afraid of making mistakes.)
During the reading practice, I'll use the following Teaching methods: double activities teaching method, question-and-answer teaching method, task-based teaching method and cooperation-study teaching method.
(In this period, I'll use 3 Studying ways: one is learning how to be a successful reader, another is learning how to get information, and the other is learn how to retell a passage.)
My Teaching aids are a computer, a projector and a tape recorder.
Now next are Teaching procedures:
Step 1 is warming up.
I will ge the students to talk about something about Global Warming to activate their interests.
Step 2 is pre-reading.
Discuss some questions before taking up the reading passage.
Its purpose is to improve the students' speaking ability and expression ability through free discussion.
Step 3 is fast reading.
In this step, I will ge them to read the passage quickly to catch the general idea and get a brief impression of this topic. By doing this, I will practise the students for fast reading skills.
Step 4 is careful reading.
The students are required to focus on the whole text much more carefully this time paragraph by paragraph and answer the questions. The purpose si to practise the students for the skills of scanning nad to lead the students ot find out the very important facts and detailed imformation. And furthemore to help the students understand the text and smooth away the difficulties all by themselves.
Step 5 is post-reading.
For the students to understnad the passage better, I will get the studnets to answer three questions to further develop the students' reading abilities and deal with the fifficulties.
Step 6 is discussion.
In this step, the students willb e asked to have a discussion in groups of eight. By doing so, I direct the students to activate their language that they have learned. Then invite some group members to report their work to the whoel class to make them overcome their shyness and stimulate them to speak in public. I think the ability to use English is the most importnat. I will the students some presents because of their excellent perormances, thus enhancing their aqareness of using English.
Step 7 is summary.
In this step, I will ask two of the students to retell the text in their own words so that they can revise what they will have learnt in the class.
Step 8 is homework.
The last step is also very important to help the students consolidate what they they will have learnt in this lesson.
This is my teaching design. That's all. Thank you all for your listening. Have a good day.

10,000 Metres!
Today it is cloudy with a little cold. So I changed thick clothes.
Although there were only several people exercising on the playground, I was very happy and excited in high spirits.
In order to have another new feeling, I decided to run 10,000 metres this morning, and I made it with not very difficulty.
My new feeling is as follows: I got into a muddle, with my legs soft, my scalp tingling, ears fevering, eyes astringent, and my whole body heating.
It was a long time before I had this new feeling. I am feeling the experience and enjoying it all day.
This is another happiness and I will enjoy it forever.

Conduct the Demonstration Performance
Saturday was a rainy day with a little cold breeze.
According to the schedule, the teachers from senior middle schools conducted the performances in the afternoon. And I was No.2 after No.1 Sun Hua.
The topic is Unit 4 Global Warming from Book 6. I felt that I performed well but it was not the best that I had expected because of the nervousness at the beginning and the end of the performance.
That my teacher, who was one of the judges, said "Very good!" made me very pleased. Leaving my book to Ma, I went home but not with a high spirit. I don't know why it was that I didn't show too much happiness. At that very time, it didn't rain and I was also very quiet and peaceful.
No matter however it is, I finished my great task and was another very important experience for me and my teaching career. No matter what result it is, I have tried my best to make it. This is the most important for me, not the result of it.
During Saturday evening, I was very relaxed these days.

Practise Reciting the Draft
I was always practising reciting the draft from Thursday evening to Saturday morning. I spared all the time and all the energy and all the concetration and all the attention to practise reciting the draft emailed from Cao, another close fried.
In order not to interfere with my daughter in the evening, I had to go to our kitchen to do some reciting and practicing until deep into the night every time. Lying in bed, I was always thinking of the words of the draft, and recited them in silent avoiding waking up my wife of sound sleep. I slept into the dream imperceptibly.
Early on the Saturday morning, I woke up at 5.oo but I didn't get up, just lying there and practising reciting the words in a low voice. I didn't remember how many times I practised before the daybreak.

A Very Special Day
October 28, Wednesday, is vvvvvery special day for me forever because I made a vvvvvery special task agaist my own will, but I had to do that because life is not always what you want it to make. Perhaps it is the cruel reality everybody must be brave to be faced with whether you are content or not.
That morning before I left home to go to work, I told my wife that I would and had to send it out that day, she nodded that she ageed to my decision.
All the whole day I didn't find appropriate time to conduct my decision to send it out. At the thought of sending it out, I felt my blood quicken in my body with a very high temperature. In actual fact, I wanted very much to sent it out, but I was also very afraid of going to send it out. This is the real person that he is always living in the fierce contradiction.
As evening came near, my blood quickened with my speedy hearbeat. That evening after two self-study, I returned to my baseroom to prepare myself to do my great task. I hesitated several minutes before I made the telephone call to ensure that there was somebody at home at that very time. GGGGGreat! Hostess at home!
But she said the host didn't stay at home so she refused me to come to her home. Without her notice I went to her home directly and bravely and desperately with the victorious faith in my mind.
Six knocks before the door opened, I went inside but she didn't politely greet me to sit down, and insisted that the host not come home until two or three days later, adding that she didn't dare to be in charge of this matter. Although she declined my intention with courtesy, I persisted in putting it into her arms fiercely, arbitrarily and brutally.
Throwing it out to her, quick as a flash, I flew away down the stairs like a lightening, with a deep fear that someone would happen to see all that had happened. Arriving at the end of stairs, I felt very relaxed and refreshed with a looooong sigh. I was very proud to find that I was myself a real brave person and also could make a little difference.
I was very excited to return home in triumph, with my blood quickening fastest almost to blow out my body. I sat down on the sofa and took several deep breaths to cool down my boiling blood.
That night I slept very well, smiling in the dream.

Throwing it out to her, quick as a flash, I flew away down the stairs like a lightening, with a deep fear that someone would happen to see all that had happened. Arriving at the end of stairs, I felt very relaxed and refreshed with a looooong sigh. I was very proud to find that I was myself a real brave person and also could make a little difference.
I was very excited to return home in triumph, with my blood quickening fastest almost to blow out my body. I sat down on the sofa and took several deep breaths to cool down my boiling blood.
That night I slept very well, smiling in the dream.
Fill in the Full Forms
That was Friday morning last week October 23. We didn't do anything except prepare for the form filling.
First we went to Mrs. Hou's to fetch our certicificates and then went to the school factory to copy our certificates. And last we returned to our office and fill in the two forms, after which we turned them in to Mr.Zhuo.
What I handed in the certificates were as follows: a county certificate of outstanding teachers, two municipal award for outstanding teaching achievements, an open class certificate and two provincial theses.
After that, I prepared very well for the afternoon lesson in the office. That evening I made a telephone call to Mr.Song for much more advice and asked him for a piece of reading-teaching draft. He was very happy to help me.

Exciting Good News
That was Thursday evening last week, October 22. After I came back from the sixth floor, I was told that our county Board of Education would conduct a county-level expert teachers appraisal.
That was a very goooood piece of news for me. I, together with my close friend and classmate and colleague decided to participate in this appraisal activity, trying to get more certificates for our advanced-teachers' assessment of middle schools.
Eerybody had to hand in no more than six certicificates since July 2004 that you think could show the maximum of your varity of performances in teaching achievements, educational honors, lesson-conducting competitions or open-class domenstrations, teaching scientific researches, teaching treatises or works, and so on.
I thought it was very easy for me to prepare the six certificates. So I was vvvvvery excited coming back and told my wife this good news. She was very confident of me, encouraging me to do it well.
That evening I made two telephone calls to Mr.Wu and Mr. Ma for their advice.
