Teaching Suggestions:
1 In pairs, have the students read the situations and choose one to discuss．
2 After each pair comes to an agreement, have them record their solution to the problem on a piece of paper and give it to you．
3 Put pairs that have different solutions to the same situation in groups of four．
4 Let them present their reasons to each other about what to do and try to come to an agreement about the best course of action．
5 Have a student from each group report their new solution to the class．
6 If time permits, ask the students to work in pairs and make a dialogue like the following．
Sample dialogue:
S1: Hello, Liu Ming．How are you? I have something to discuss with you．I feel very uncomfortable about this but I think we must talk about it．I have been offered a ticket to a concert of the”Backstreet Boys?
S2: Wow! That\'s wonderful! I know how much you like them and how much you have always wanted to go to one of their concerts．Is there any chance I might get a ticket too?
S1: I am so sorry．They are only staying here for one night and Shen Ming offered me one．There was only one, or of course I would have thought of you．
S2: When are they coming? Perhaps I can queue up with you to get their autographs?
S1: That\'s just what I wanted to say．The concert is on Saturday．
S2: Oh I see．You want to change our arrangement for the picnic．Well, as a matter of fact I cannot go either on Saturday．My cousin is coming over and we shall have to visit my aunt．
S1: So it all turned out for the best．Thank goodness!
WRITING TASK
The purpose of this task is to involve the students in a critical thinking process．The students are provided with a list of proverbs about friends and friendship．These may help them to better understand how differently people see friends．It also gives them a chance to express their own views on friends and friendship．Make sure the students understand the meaning of the proverbs before they start to write．
Sample writing:
I don\'t agree with all the proverbs about friends or friendship．I agree with the following ones:
1 The same man cannot be both friend and flatterer．
2 Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light．
3 Friendship cannot stand always on one side．
I think a person can praise, blame, scold but shouldn\'t flatter his / her friend（s）．A friend is a treasure to his / her friend（s）．Friends should help each other and share their joys and sorrows—true friendship isn\'t one-sided．
I disagree with the following ones:
1 A friend in need is a friend indeed．
2 Friends are like wine; the older, the better．
3 With clothes the new are the best; with friends the old are the best．
In my opinion, a friend is a friend．There should be no such terms as true friend or false friend．I think a false friend cannot be a friend at all．I also think that a new friend is as good as an old one．A friend, new or old, is a friend．He / She is always devoted and helpful to his / her friend． |
