* PROJECT
Friendship is such a popular topic that there are lots of stories, songs, poems and plays about it.After learning this unit, the students should be encouraged to collect as much material on this subject as they can from the library, media and the Internet.They may hold an English party, where they can put on performances, eg reciting poems, singing songs, telling stories, etc.This is a good way to increase the students?interest in learning English as well as enhance their understanding of friendship.
CHECKING YOURSELF
This part aims at encouraging students to make a self-assessment after they finish learning each unit.The questions in the Workbook may help them.They should check to see:
● what experience, skill and knowledge they have obtained;
● if their interest has increased or decreased;
● if they are using effective ways of learning;
● what problems they have and what solutions they have found, etc.
First get the students to think about these questions individually.Then they can discuss in groups sharing their experience.You can join in and give them advice and suggestions where necessary.

NOTE
PERSONS
Anne Frank was born on June 12, 1929 in Frankfurt, Germany.At that time the Jewish community was a key part of the city\'s economic and cultural success.Her father, Otto Frank, was a respected businessman whose ancestors first came to the city centuries before.His family lived in a comfortable five-room flat and Anne was raised with loving concern and great care.In the spring of 1934, a year after Hitler rose to power, the family moved to Holland, whose people welcomed them.
After the German invasion of 1940, Anne was forced to leave her school, as were all known Jews.Almost right away, the Gestapo began to send thousands of Dutch resisters to slave labour camps in Germany.Then in February 1941 the Gestapo began to arrest Jews.It was at this moment that Otto Frank made plans to hide his family.
For the next 25 months the Franks and another family, the Van Daans, stayed on the top floor, curtains drawn so as not to attract unwanted attention.Sadly, a Dutch employee in the office told the Gestapo of the whereabouts of the families.Finally, they were arrested.They were in one of the last groups of Jews to be taken to the camps.Anne\'s mother got very ill at Auschwitz in Poland and stayed behind when Anne, her sister, and Mrs Van Daan were moved to Belsen, a smaller camp in Germany.Peter, who was in better health than the others, was forced into a long march from the camp where he disappeared.When Margot died in March, 1945, Anne probably lost her desire to live.She died just before her 16th birthday and less than a month before the surviving Jews were liberated by American, British, Canadian and Russian soldiers.
BACKGROUND
The building in Amsterdam where Anne Frank\'s family hid was not a set of apartments but a small business office with storage rooms.Therefore, people were not expected to come and go from it except during regular business hours.This expectation made it all the more difficult for the Franks to receive visitors.Thus it was that during the day the lower floors continued to serve as a place of business.After working hours, the Frank\'s Dutch friends brought them food, clothing, news from the outside world, and a bit of comfort.When the German Army conquered Holland in the spring of 1940, it soon sent its secret police, the Gestapo, into the peace-loving nation to search for Dutch Jews.Over the next four and a half years more than 100, 000 Dutch Jews were sent to concentration camps in eastern Germany and western Poland.The Frank family was among them. |
