The students can either express their own ideas or challenge each other. e.g.（to student A）：What do you think are the differences in the type of houses between American homes and British homes?（to student B）：Do you have different ideas? （to all）：What other differences can we see at this point?At the end of the discussion, the teacher will summarize the students ideas and thus make a conclusion about the differences and similarities between American homes and British homes, which is the main idea of the text itself.In this way, the students are not only able to practice their reading comprehensive ability, but also able to learn about interesting and useful culture backgrounds on the topic in question. Class twoActivity 1 40 minutesChecking of pre-class assignment 2Work in groups of four, compare your investigation with the others, and find out 2 factors that differ the most among the six questions.e.g.： (15 minutes after discussion), ask：Now, group 1, what are the two most different among the 6 investigated elements in your group?Answer: the price and location.Very good, now lets listen to group 2(3,4,5,6)s findings.(another 5 minutes later)it seems that the price, location, type and size of the houses are the most different elements. Now continue your discussion with your group members and find out the causes of such differences.(another 5 minutes later) Now who can tell me the conclusion out of your discussion?Answer: I think those elements are interactive. They affect each other. But mostly, the price of a certain home is greatly influenced by its location, size and type.e.g.: It seems that the price, location, type and size are the most different elements among Chinese families. So what do you think have caused such differences? Ill give you another 5 minutes to discuss in group. (5 minutes later)：Now, what are the conclusions out of your discussion?Answer: those elements are interactive. The prices of the houses are greatly influenced by the type, location and size of the houses.In this activity, the students learn to do data-based research as well as to collect relevant information on the topichousing, thus have some idea of the present housing problems in China. At the same time, the students ability of communicating with others are tested in the process of investigating and group discussingActivity 2 50 minutesChecking of pre-class assignment 3The students will have 25-30 minutes to carry on this simulated house trade fair. The “buyers” are free to talk to any “real estate agency” and decide which one to buy by the time limit. The “agents” are supposed to try their best to provide enough information on the residences they want to sell. When the trade fair is closed, ask the buyers to name the agencies from whom they want to buy their residences and give the reason why they chose these agencies instead of others;The agencies are supposed to introduce to the whole class the houses they successfully sold or try to find out the cause of their failure in selling a house. e.g. ：Now lets start the house-trade fair.Real estate agency A, your office is here, and B, your office is thereNow the clients can walk freely to any office you like. But you only have 25 minutes to decide your ideal home. And the agents should try your very best to sell your properties. (25 minutes later)Now, those who have already decided about your new home, come here.(to student A)Which home property did you choose? Why?Answer: because its a nice apartment, and its spacious. It has 4 bedrooms and 2 living rooms. The neighborhood is quiet but convenientAnd lets see who failed to win even one client.(to student B)Why do you think you failed to sell anything?Answer: I think its mainly because of the priceIn this way, the students learn to use terms of housing and house trading in English. And their ability of reasoning and analyzing is also tested in the presentations after the trade fair. Thus the students have a chance to talk about housing in a microcosmic level.Homework 1.
