师：Class begins. Good morning, everyone!
生：Good morning, Miss Li. Nice to meet you.
师：Nice to meet you too. How are you today?
生：I'm fine, thank you.
师：Okay. Now, everybody. Do you like reading in your spare time?
生：Yes.
师：We know reading is very important for us, right?
生：Yes.
师：So, what type of books do you like reading in your spare time? And why?
生：I like reading books about cooking because I like eating.
师：Oh, that's a good reason. You like cooking. Very good. What else? What type of books do you like reading? Sit up, please.
生：I like travel books because I can see many places of interest.
师：Very good. We can see a lot of places of interest from the books about travel. And today we're going to learn a novel. First, would you please look at these pictures and tell me the name of the book? Picture one, it's a book about science. Picture two is a book about...
生：Novel.
师：Yeah, it's a novel. And picture three is about...
生：Health.
师：Good. The next one is a book about cooking. And this one is about history, no, culture. Follow me: culture.
生：Culture.
师：And the last one is a book about travel. Actually, today we are going to read a novel. Do you know how to read a novel? What should we pay attention to while reading a novel? Who knows? Have a guess.
生：Oh, when, where and who.
师：Excellent! Very good. Now, I think we should pay attention to who is in the novel, where the story happened, what happened in the novel, why it happened, and how the character felt. Now, do you know the novel we are going to read today? It's called *Gulliver's Travels*. Can you tell me who is the main character?
生：Gulliver.
师：Yeah, Gulliver is the main character. Very good. Now, look at the cover of the book. Do you know who is the writer of the book?
生：Jonathan Swift.
师：He is the writer. Read after me: Jonathan Swift.
生：Jonathan Swift.
师：He was from 1667 to 1745. So, do you know what the book *Gulliver's Travels* is about?
生：It tells us Gulliver's amazing adventures in some countries.
师：Yes, but today we are going to learn Gulliver's amazing adventures in one place called Lilliput. Read after me: Lilliput.
生：Lilliput.
师：And this is only an extract from the book *Gulliver's Travels*. Are you clear?
生：Yeah, okay.
师：The story we are going to learn today is called “Gulliver in Lilliput”. So, who lives in Lilliput?
生：The tiny men.
师：Very good. The tiny men. “Tiny” means very small. Now, look at this picture. Can you guess what happened to Gulliver? Look at this picture. Something strange happened to Gulliver, yes or no? What happened? Let's predict.
生：Gulliver is tied to the rock.
师：Very good. Do you think so? Gulliver was tied to the rock. What else happened to him?
生：Gulliver might be trapped in Lilliput.
师：Very good answer. What else? Now, would you please turn to page 50, open your book, and tell me how many paragraphs are there in this text?
生：There are two parts.
师：There are two parts in this extract. Would you please read quickly and silently to find out which is part one and which is part two, and also find out the main idea for each part?
（学生快速默读）
师：If you have got the answer, raise up your hands.
生：Joshua认为第一段到第二段是第一部分。
师：Do you think so? What is the main idea?
生：It's about before Gulliver saw the tiny men.
师：Very good. So, part one is before Gulliver saw the tiny men. And part two is easy, from paragraph three to five. What's the main idea of part two?
生：It talks about after Gulliver saw the tiny men.
师：Very good. Now, would you please read paragraph one and two to see what happened to Gulliver? What happened to him? Read carefully to find out the details according to my questions. First, look at this picture. What happened to Gulliver's trip?
生：Gulliver's ship hit something.
师：Excellent. So, “hit something” means... it means “against”. Follow me: against.
生：Against.
师：So, Gulliver's ship crashed against the rocks. Maybe something terrible happened. If you were on the trip and something terrible, an accident, happened to your ship, what would you do?
生：I will swim as far as I can.
师：Yeah, you would swim as far as you could. So, actually, what did Gulliver do?
生：Gulliver swam as far as he could.
师：Okay. So, did he swim for a very long time? Can you swim for a very long time or only a short time?
生：For a very long time.
师：How did you know?
生：Because he was very tired.
师：Thank you. Very good. What else? By the time he finally felt the land under his feet. Look at this sentence. Why doesn't he say “when I reached the land” but “by the time I finally fell to the land”? What does he use this kind of sentence to show?
生：He was tired out.
师：Very good. I like your idea. Look at this picture. He swam for a very long time. After a long time swimming, you will feel very tired. We can say he was tired out. Follow me: tired out.
生：Tired out.
师：So, what did he do?
生：He fell down on the beach and went to sleep.
师：Very good. Now, he swam for a very long time and went to sleep. When did he wake up?
生：He woke up as the sun was rising.
师：Very good. Look at this picture. He woke up the next day and the sun was rising. But what happened to him? Look at this picture. What happened?
生：His legs, arms and hair were tied to the ground.
师：That means could he move?
生：No, he couldn't move.
师：Excellent. Because why? Why couldn't he move?
生：Because his arms, legs and hair were tied to the ground. “Tie” means hold things together with ropes.
师：So, now imagine how did you feel if you were Gulliver?
生：I felt very strange.
师：Absolutely. Why?
生：Because I couldn't move.
师：Okay. What else? How did you feel?
生：I felt afraid.
师：Why?
生：Because I don't know who tied me to the ground and I think they will hurt me.
师：Thank you. Very good. I like your idea. Nobody else? How would you feel?
生：I may feel nervous.
师：Why?
生：Because I don't know where I was.
师：Very good. You felt afraid, nervous. What else?
生：I feel very amazed.
师：Why?
生：Because I didn't know what happened.
师：Very good. You are so imaginative. So, he felt so strange, afraid, nervous and also very amazed. Now, would you please retell what happened to Gulliver before he saw the tiny man according to the keywords and the pictures? You can speak loudly.
生：After our ship crashed against the rocks, I swam as far as I could. By the time I finally felt the land, but I was tired out. I fell down on the beach and went to sleep. I woke up as the sun was rising, but I found I could not move. My arms, legs and hair were tied to the ground.
师：Very good. Excellent. Up to now, Gulliver didn't know who tied him to the ground. He felt so afraid and maybe so nervous. But actually, do you know who tied him to the ground?
生：The tiny men.
师：Very good. So, do you know what happened next after Gulliver saw the tiny man? What did the tiny man do? How did Gulliver feel? Look at this picture. What did Gulliver do? How did Gulliver feel at this time?
生：Gulliver felt something on his leg.
师：Very good. So, what is it? If you were Gulliver, what would you think about it? What did it do?
生：It moved up over my stomach and also up to the neck.
师：Until where was the tiny thing?
生：It was near his face.
师：Very good. So, what did Gulliver do next?
生：He looked down and saw a very small man.
师：Well, if he saw a very small man, how did Gulliver feel? If you were Gulliver and saw a very small man in front of your face, what would you feel?
生：I felt strange.
师：Oh, you felt very strange. Maybe you would think what was that. What else? How would you feel?
生：He may feel surprised.
师：Very good. Surprised. Why?
生：Because he didn't know who or what it was.
师：So, how did he feel? Also very strange. And why did the small man stand near Gulliver? What did the tiny man think of Gulliver? What did Gulliver look like to the tiny man? What did his face look like? What do you think?
生：It looked like a mountain.
师：Good idea. What else? What did Gulliver's face look like to the tiny man? Be imaginative.
生：It looks like a pie.
师：It looks like a pie. Maybe the tiny man would eat the pie. Do you think so? What else?
生：It looks like a big pumpkin.
师：Oh, it looks like a big pumpkin. Now, how did the tiny man feel when he saw such a big face?
