师:Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Are you ready for the class? First of all, please say hello to the teachers on the stage. Okay, let's begin with a very famous person in Chinese history. Look at the picture. Who was he? Can anyone share your answer? Use the microphone, just push the button.
生:(回答)
师:Sun Zi is very famous for a masterpiece or a book. So what is the name of the book? How can you say it in English?
生:It's The Art of War.
师:Was it translated into The War of Art in some other countries? Sun Zi once said in his book, The Art of War, that the army survives by tricks. So, ladies and gentlemen, what does Sun Zi's words tell us? Junhao, can you show your opinion with us?
生:(思考,可能需要更多时间)
师:Okay, maybe you need more time to think. Take a seat. Anyone can help Junhao? The army survives by using tricks. That is to say, using tricks is very important in a war, right? And today we're going to read an ancient story to have a deeper understanding of Sun Zi's wisdom. So can you read the title for us?
生:The title of the ancient story is "The Trojan Horse".
师:The ancient story of "The Trojan Horse" happened in a war. The war is named the Trojan War. Very good. You're very knowledgeable. And I have a question for you. How much do you know about the Trojan War? Here is a file. So what are the two sides of the war? Zihan, according to historical knowledge.
生:The first one is Troy, the city of Troy. And the second is the Greeks, the ancient Greeks.
师:How about the starting time? Junhao, can you use the microphone? When did the war start?
生:Almost 3,000 years ago.
师:How about the lasting time? How long did it last? Xiaojin, can you share with us?
生:For almost 10 years.
师:Thank you very much for your knowledge. Just now we mentioned the two sides of the Trojan War are the ancient Greeks and the city of Troy. And it started almost 3,000 years ago and lasted for almost 10 years. This war is so important that it was made into a movie. Now in the city of Canakkale in Turkey (we used to say Turkey, but now it's Türkiye), we can find a huge wooden horse in this city, and many visitors pay a visit to this huge wooden horse every year. And we are lucky today because in our textbook, we also have this huge wooden horse. So ladies and gentlemen, please have a look at this picture. What can you find? Look at the picture and tell us.
生:A soldier.
师:The soldier... One by one.
生:Very good. The soldier and...
师:Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much. You share your ideas with us. Anything else? The soldier, the fire...
生:Junting, a wood...
师:Horse, a huge wood horse. And how about this part? At night, and you can see the moon, right?
生:(回答)
师:Just now, thank you very much. Two of you shared your answers with us. We can find the moon, the city wall, the huge wooden horse, and the soldier, especially the drunk soldier. That is to say, the soldiers drank a lot of very good wine. So today we're talking about an ancient story, and the moon, the city wall, the horse, and the soldier share with us something about the time, the place, and the plot. So do you want to know more about the plot of this ancient story?
生:Of course, yes.
师:Now we'll move to the plot of the ancient story. First of all, please read through the whole passage and focus on part 1, that is paragraph 1 to 3, and try to think about the following three questions. Two minutes for you, ladies and gentlemen. Read through the whole passage and focus on part 1.
生:(阅读并思考问题)
师:Yes, read through the passage and focus on part 1 and try to find the answers. Very good. This is the information, and the question is, how might the captain feel? Maybe you can use some adjectives.
生:(回答)
师:I think you will be a very good captain. 20 seconds left, ladies and gentlemen. So can you help Zhijie to find some information? You're in a group. Maybe you can find and help Zijie to find some information from the textbook. Okay, I'm really looking forward to the answers from Zipeng. So how might the captain feel when he stood on the high city wall like this? Now, suppose this is the captain from Troy. How might he feel?
生:He felt very proud and excited.
师:How do you know? Can you find some information from the text to prove that he might feel very proud and confident?
生:Because he said "They have gone and we have won." And the war lasted for 10 years.
师:Very good. You find this sentence. "They have gone and we have won." So if you were the captain, how will you read this sentence with your pride? Now, suppose you are the captain of Troy. Can you imitate the voice of the captain?
生:The Greeks have gone and we have won.
师:You won. Great. Take a seat. Let's give him a big hand. A very good imitation. But maybe you need to be prouder. Okay? And he just now used proud and excited. Any other answers? Are you proud as well, excited as well? Junbang, what is your answer? Can you share with us?
生:(回答)
师:He gets some help and put it into the city. This is the answer for question No. 2. And what is your answer about question 1? How might the captain feel?
生:Happy.
师:From your answers, we know the captain of Troy might feel very proud, confident, excited, or just as Junbang said, he felt very happy because he thought that the Greeks had already gone and they'd won the war. Take a seat. Thank you for your answer. And the second question in this part: Did Greek soldiers really give up?
生:No.
师:But how do you know? And what do you think of "give up" here? Anyone can share? Your name is... How about using the microphone.
生:Because the Greek soldiers left a huge wooden horse.
师:Very good. Because the Greek soldiers left a huge wooden horse, the Trojan horse. Take a seat. And we can also say the Greek soldiers didn't really leave. They pretended to leave and they left a huge wooden horse. One more question for you, ladies and gentlemen. How did the Trojan captain deal with the huge wooden horse? Find information from the text. Zhuhao, how did the captain deal with the huge wooden horse?
生:He pulled it into the city of Troy.
师:Right. Take a seat. Do you think it's a good way for the Trojans to pull the huge wooden horse back to the city? Do you think it's good?
生:(回答)
师:Now, one more question for you. Suppose you're the captain or if you were the captain of Troy, how would you deal with this huge wooden horse? Use your imagination. You can share your answers with us. We're looking forward to your answer because you will be a very good captain in the future. You can answer in this way: If I were the captain, I would...
生:If I were the captain, I would fire it.
师:You would fire it. So that the Greek soldiers cannot come back to destroy the city of Troy. Okay, thank you very much. Anyone else?
生:I would check what's in it.
师:Very good point. He would check what's inside the huge wooden horse. Then what's inside the huge wooden horse? Soldiers from ancient Greece. Very good. Some of you said that. Take a seat. Zhuhao, right? Junbang shared with us that he would check it carefully. So you also tell us maybe this is the root of the coming failure. And ladies and gentlemen, now let's go back to this picture again. Just now we discussed we can find some drunk soldiers here. But use your imagination and your knowledge. Think about this question. Is it normal or suitable to drink wine on the city wall? Tianjie?
