For example we may need to take an umbrella in case of badweather and some pills in case of emergency. And our group divided our planinto three parts: morning visit, noon visit and the afternoon visit. In the morning,we can see carpenters and other craftsmen make their work in the old fashionway, I think that would be great fun. In the noon, we can have a lunch whileenjoying the country music performed in the outdoor theatre. After lunch, wecan visit candy store and try the same candy made 150 years ago. Afternoon, wecan take a ride on the only steam engine train and even see some bald eagle.That’s all. I think we can enjoy our one-day trip in Dollywood. Thank you.

T: That’s a wonderful plan. Clear and loud, fivestars. Well-organized, six stars maybe. But we only have five. About eyecontact, next time, you need to take some simple notes. Then you don’t need toturn over again and again. So I will you give you four stars. What about yourevaluation? What do you think of her presentation? Do you like it? Yes, ok justmake your evaluation on your handout. Now, What about next group?

S15: Well, what about my plan. Before I go to Camelot,I will search the internet gaining information about English culture. In themorning, I go there, waiting outside the gate. I will be very excited; I willsee some fake royal members, like King Edward and the knights of round table.After the lunch, I will go the farm and of course I will feed the animals,maybe very exciting and interesting. And then jousting. After dinner, I will gofor the sightseeing. The night will be very intriguing. Of course I will buysome souvenirs. Take pictures, enjoy the beautiful things. Ok, thank you.

T: Charming accent, right. Well, it is your group’strip plan. So maybe next time you should present: “our group is going to do sth”,that will be much better. Well, I would to see every group’s plan, so pleaseturn it into a piece of writing. And see you next time. Thank you.

[意圖說明] 這是一個展示語言輸出成果的階段，學生上台陳述，既鍛煉學生的口語，又可讓教師了解本節課的有效性。運用同伴評價表，引導學生更加認真得傾聽他人，同時激發陳述者的積極性。

Step 4 Homework(1 min)

答案:

㈥ 高中英語必修四第五單元課文翻譯 : a trip along the three gorges;

三峽之旅

In August 1996, Peter Hessler, a young American teacher of English, arrived in the town of Fuling on the Yangtze River.

He and a colleague were to spend two years there teaching English at a teacher training college.

They were the only foreigners in the town. The first semester finished at the end of
January and they had four weeks off for the Spring Festival.

They could go anywhere they wished. They decided to take a boat downstream.
We decided to buy tickets for the Jiangyou boat.

我們打算買到「江油號」的船票。

Our colleagues said, 「You shouldn』t go on those ships. They are very crowded
. They are mainly for goods and people trading along the river.

同事們說：
「你們不要坐那種船。它們太擁擠，主要是用來運貨的。乘客多事沿江做生意的人。

They don』t stop at the temples and there won』t be any other foreigners.」 That sounded
fine to me.

那些船不停靠廟宇，也不會有別的外國遊人乘坐。
」我覺得聽起來還不錯。

We just had to show our passports and they let us get on the boat.
我們出示護照後邊上了船。

We left the docks on a beautiful afternoon. The sun was shining brightly as we sailed downstream through a hilly region.

在一個美麗的午後，我們離開碼頭。當我們順流而下穿過山區的時候，陽光很燦爛。

Men rode bamboo rafts along the river』s edge and coal boats went past.

男人們乘坐著江邊的竹筏，運煤的小船來來往往。

As the sun set we docked at Feng. We could see the sun setting behind the white pagoda. It was beautiful.

太陽落山時，我們的船在豐都靠岸。我們目睹太陽在白塔後西沉，美麗極了。

We slept through the first gorge, which is called the Qutang Gorge.

穿過長江第一峽——翟塘峽時，我們正在睡夢中。

The gorge narrows to 350 feet as the river rushes through the tow-mile-high mountains.

江水在兩英里高峰巒間奔流，峽谷狹窄處只有350英尺。

「Oh, well,」 my friend said, 「at least we have two more left.」

我朋友說；「至少我們還能看見另外兩個峽谷」。

At Wushan we made a detour up the Daning River to see some of the smaller gorges.

船到巫山時，我們繞道溯游大寧河，觀賞了幾處小峽谷。

The next day we went through the ig gorges on the Yangtze River. It was a lovely morning as we went through the Wu Gorge.

第二天，我們經過了長江的大峽谷。在一個美麗的上午輪船駛過巫峽。

We passed the Xiang River, home of Qu Yuan, the 3rd century BC poet. There was so much history long the Yangtze River.

我們還經過了湘江，那是公元前三世紀一位詩人——屈原的家鄉。

Every rock looked like a person or animal, every stream that joined the great river carried its legends, every hill was heavy with the past.
長江有太多的歷史。塊塊巨石形象各異，條條支流都流淌著傳說，座座小山承載著過往。

As we came out of the third gorge, the Xiling Gorge, we sailed into the construction site of the dam.
穿過長江三峽西陵峽後，輪船駛入大壩建設處的江面。

All the passengers came on deck. We took pictures and pointed at the site, but we weren』t allowed to get off the boat.

所有乘客都上了甲板，大家拍照片，對著工地指指點點，但不可以下船。

The Chinese flag was blowing in the wind. On a distant mountain was a sign in 20-foot characters. 「Build the Three Gorges Dam, Exploit the Yangtze River,」 it said.

五星紅旗在風中飄揚著。遠山上寫著英尺大的漢子「建造長江大壩，開發長江資源」
。
