Warming up by Questions1.What’s your new senior high school?2.Do you like the school? Why?3.How many students are there in your new class?4.Do you have great confidence to learn English well?2. Warming up by discussingHello boys and girls, now we’re going to learn something about the new life at senior high，and now I would like you to discuss a problem：How to find something new and write it in the coming years at senior high？What are the new things at school?New things at school means you should watch and write things that happen in the school or in your student life that you seldom see before, rather than things that happen in a factory or, at your home. It also means you should write special or new things, rather than something that’s ordinary（普通的）.Is it a new thing at school?: Sophie saw and wrote news about how the students ran to the dining hall when the bell rang so as to get their lunch as soon as possible.Judgment: It is not school news. Most of the students have the same experience as these students, so it is not “new” at all.But: If you write about a boy trying to get his lunch in a strange way, it would be interesting to read. : David wrote news about a bird that flew to his house and wouldn’t leave.Judgment: Do you like to read this news? Almost all the schools have anniversaries, and they all do the same thing.But: You can find something special in the anniversary and tell the readers your discoveries（发现）. How to find new things at school?Just be sensitive（敏感的）to things around you and let your curiosity （好奇心）guide you.From now on, open your eyes and your ears and look for interesting things around your student life.3. Warming up by studying vocabularyTurn to page 113，and study the vocabulary list for Unit one, paying attention to the relationship between the spelling and the pronunciation.Step 2: Pre-reading1.

He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed meeting with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out of that door, a feeling of comfort washed over me.
