　　I. Brief Statements Based on the Unit

　　Have you experienced a terrible nature disaster? Certainly few of us have. Do you want to know something about it? Certainly many of us do. After you have learned this unit, Unit 10. Frightening nature, you are sure to obtain some useful information about that. The unit will be taught in four periods. In the first period, we'll deal with Warming up, Listening and Speaking. At the beginning, four pictures are shown to the students. They are asked to talk about them and then write down what is observed. The pictures are about geology, meteorology, astronomy and biology, including typhoon, cobra and cells. The pictures and the questions after them can greatly stimulate the students' interest in science. Listening is about weather forecast in the USA. The exercises of listening can test how the students grasp the detailed information in it. Speaking provides all types of topics for the students to talk about. When they finish their talking, a lot of useful expressions on how to express emotion, anxiety and fear are mastered by them. In the second period, we'll deal with Pre-reading, Reading and Post-reading. In the beginning, the students will see and talk about three pictures about a famous volcano Vesuvius, which once erupted about two thousand years ago, and destroyed two small towns. Then the whole text gives us a vivid picture at that time. It describes how the writer's uncle died. His uncle, attracted by the scene of volcano eruption, wanted to observe and record more about that. So he decided to go and see it from closer. He went there and rescued his friend's wife. Then he went to see another friend of his, who lived very near to the erupting volcano. He even encouraged the scared people to calm down. But unfortunately, he died at last. He only thought about learning more about volcano and wasn't afraid at all. He valued scientific knowledge more than his life. In the third period, we deal with Word study and a grammar item--Ellipsis. Plenty of exercises are arranged for it. The students will master it through practice. Integrating skills are delt with in the fourth period. The text is about a ship, controlled by the captain and his crew, fighting against a terrible typhoon. The story without end asks the students to use their imagination and write how it will end. We are sure that when the unit is finished, the students will not only improve their ability to listen, speak, read and write, but also learn and master plenty of useful words and expressions.
