Well, actually, this time we have to find some missing parts of the passage. Now, please look at the passage on page 45. And we can see four sentences here, right? Before doing the task, here are two steps for you. Number one, underline the key words in the four choices. For example, in choice "a", "These are about making yourself a better person." So, the key words should be "making yourself a better person". So, clear now? It's your turn. Please find out the key words in the rest three choices. And after that, show me your answer. Okay, now just do it. Underline the keywords.
（学生找关键词）
师：Okay, the keywords in choice "b", what is that? Who can tell me? Sarah, how about you? What are the keywords in choice "b"? Give it a try.
生：Uh, I think the keywords in "b" are "a student may have to find more time to study". Well, actually, "study" is enough, right?
师：Yes, yes. Okay, how about choice "c"? If you want to have a try, please. Eric.
生：I think the keywords in "c" are "reasons".
师：Good, "reasons". Thank you. Sit down, please. The last one, "d". Sam.
生：I think the keyword in "d" is "the start of the year".
师：Yes, "the start of the year". And maybe we should include "making resolutions". Ray, okay. Everybody, you did a good job. And here's Step Two. Please find words or phrases with similar meanings. For example, the sentence in choice "a" is "making yourself a better person", and we can find another word in paragraph two, "self-improvement". Maybe they have a similar meaning. Okay, now it's time to finish the task. Remember, scan the passage and then write "a" to "d" in the correct places. And also, the reading strategy here may help you. Everybody, look at my PowerPoint. Reading the sentences before and after the blanks may help you to find the answers more easily. Okay, now, one minute for you. Just do it.
（学生完成任务）
师：Okay, everybody. Time is up. So, let's check the answers. The first blank, what is that? Hands up, tell me. Tina, please.
生：Uh, I think the first blank is "when we make resolutions at the beginning of the year".
师：Yes, it is. Good, because we can find the keywords "beginning of the year", right? Okay, how about the second blank? What is the answer? So, who can tell me? Any volunteer? Have a try. What is the answer? Mark, how about you? Use the microphone, please.
生：Ah, I think the answer is "a" because the keyword before the blank is "self-improvement".
师：Excellent. Sit down, please. Thank you for your answer. That is good. So, the answer should be "a". The third blank, what is that? I think the third one is "b". For example, "a student may have to find more time to study" because I see the word before the blank is "schoolwork", right? Because it talks about study and school. So, the answer should be "b". That is good. Okay, the last one, everybody together. The answer should be "c" because we know that the sentence after the blank explains the reasons, right? So, the answer should be "c". And I'm sure now you must want to have a better understanding of the whole passage. So, this time, let's move on to the next part. Of course, we have to use our textbook now. Please open it. This time, please match the main idea of each paragraph. And one minute for you. Clear?
