It’s home to a great diversity of plants and animals. Among the rare animals are cranes, black bears, leopards and Siberian tigers. The most popular attraction in the reserve is Tianchi where you can enjoy the sight of the crystal clear waters and the view of the other sixteen mountain peaks that surround Tianchi.When you have finished your visit to Tianchi, don’t rush away. There are plenty of other things to see and do in Changbaishan. For example, you can relax in the nearby hot springs. There are many pools heated by hot water out of the ground. What’s more, you can fin d water is heated by boiling rocks in the ground. If you are hungry, put an egg into the water. After a few minutes, you can have a delicious egg. There are so many hot springs, 13 pools in 1,000 square metres area, that you can choose one you like best. Some pools are very hot (over 60℃), but others are very pleasant for bathing.Staying in the pools can not only help you refresh yourself but also be good for health. It’s a great enjoyment to bathe in hot springs and admire the beautiful scenery.Step ⅣHomeworkT: Describe a typhoon, a snowstorm or a hailstorm. Collect some information about them if you didn’t experience any of them.(A Typhoon)When I was ten years old, I met a typhoon. It really was a frightening typhoon. That evening was so dark. I still can't forget it. It was a rainy day. Although it was early, the sky was very dark. I was walking in the street with my mother. We were going home. The wind blew more and more strongly. We felt the difference. We started to run fast in order to go home in no time. But the wind was still faster than feet. Suddenly, lots of litter was blown away. The typhoon blew up.We couldn't hold the umbrella. It was raining heavily and we were all wet. Cold and fright went through our bodies. The big trees began to shake. Leaves fell down. We couldn't breathe. The wind blew in our face.It was so sharp. I was afraid I would be blown away, too. I held my mother tightly. We tried our best to run. But we couldn't.I was excited because we were near our home. A few minutes later, we arrived home. "I am still alive," I said to myself happily. I saw the big typhoon through the window. "How strong the typhoon is! I want to be strong, too."。

Unit 5 The power of naturePart One: Teaching Design (第一部分：教学设计)Period 3: A sample lesson plan for Using Language(THE LAKE OF HEA VEN)AimsTo listen about volcanologists at workTo speaking about dangerous experiencesTo read about TianchiProceduresI. Warming up by listening and reading aloudIt is said that by reading aloud one can become a successful reader who loves books and is good at reading. So now let’s read aloud the text AN EXCITING JOB to the tape recording first.II. Listening about volcanologists at workDo you want to become a volcanologist? Many volcanologists believe they have the best jobs inthe world. They have the exciting chance to study activevolcanoes in beautiful and often exotic places. Thevolcanologist's work advances science, but also has directimportance to the lives of people who live near volcanoes. If a volcanologist says a volcano is not going to erupt, but it does, many people may die in the eruption. But if the volcanologist warns that it will erupt, many people will temporarily move away from their homes to safety.V olcanoes are complicated phenomena that can't be understood without knowledge of the structure and chemistry of the Earth and its rocks, and the interaction of volcanic materials with air and water. To really understand volcanoes it is necessary to study a number of sciences, but the most important is geology - the study of the Earth's rocks.Now turn to page 38. We shall do the three listening exercises one by one.III. SpeakingLiving in the world we may experience a powerful natural force, such as an earthquake, flood, typhoon, or a storm. On such occasions we might show some feelings such as fear, anxiety and depression. But what is fear, anxiety and depression in the first place?Now form groups of four to tell each other about your dangerous experience and your feelings of fear, anxiety and depression.IV. Reading about Tianchi1.Warming up by looking and listeningHave you ever heard of Changbaishan?Have you ever heard of Tianchi?Now look at the photo and listen to me telling you aboutChangbaishan and Tianchi.Changbaishan Mountain is said to be the most beautiful mountain in northeast China.

Writing a paragraph about ChangbaishanNow you are going to write a paragraph about a certain aspect of Changbaishan. Turn to page 40 for reference.A possible version for reference:The Changbaishan Nature Reserve is an area of astounding natural and rugged beauty. The sights here are all related to the volcanic activity that used to make this region unstable and dangerous.
