Procedures
Step 1 Listening
Let’s go on with Journey Down The Mekong River (part 3) with Wang Wei. Turn to page 23 and do the listening text. Before listening to the tape, please read the words fast, then tick the words you hear on the tape. After that I’ll play the tape for the second time and then finish the chart. You should look through the chart and find out the listening points. The following questions can help you understand the listening text.
Where is the girl from?
What do people in Laos use the river for?
Why do people in Laos call the river “the sea of Laos”?
What is the river called in Tibet and Vietnam?
What other beautiful sights along the Mekong River in Laos?
Step 2 Guided writing
1. Reading and underlining
In this unit, we have read the first two parts of a travel journal and have listened to the third part of the travel journal. What is the difference between a journal and a diary? Let’ read the passage on page 23 and find out the difference between the two. Underline all the useful expressions and collocations in it. Copy them in your notebook after class as homework.
Collocations from Reading and Writing
put one’s thoughts into a diary, travel journey, the difference between, for on thing… for another, record one’s experiences, soon after, be familiar to, make a list of, compare…with, agree to.
Read the passage quickly and then fill in the information on the chart.

2). To try to record how the writers feel very soon after things happen 1). Isn’t as personal as a diary
2). To record the writers experiences, ideas and afterthought about what they have seen
3). Is written for a lot of readers
4). It’s topics includes people, things, and events less familiar to readers.
Step 3 Writing a letter
Now let’s do a writing practice. Imagine that you are a friend of Wang Wei. Write a short letter to her and ask her to describe: how she feels, what she is doing, and some place you want to know about. Then wish her well on her journey by using at least two of these expressions:
Have a nice/good time. Have a nice/good trip. Take care.
Good luck on your journey. Say “Hello” to …. Write to me.
Give my best/love wishes to …. Have fun.
You can refer to the following steps.
In pairs choose the details from the journey that are most interesting. Think of what else you would like to know about the journey. Write these ideas down as questions.
Now choose two or three of the best questions for your letter. Each question should have another sentence explaining why you want to know this information.
Put them in an order that makes sense.
Begin your letter as shown in the textbook and add your questions for Wang 高中化学 Wei. Your writing should not be more than one paragraph.
Finish your letter as shown in the textbook.
A sample writing:
Hi, brave little Wei,
How I worry about you and Wang Kun! Do you have a good time now? I hope so. What are you doing now? Are you still in Laos? Can you tell me something about people’s life there? When are you leaving for Cambodia? When you get there, tell me about the Buddhist temples there. Please send some photos with your next letter! Well, Have a good trip and don’t forget to write to me! Give my best wishes to Wang Kun. Good luck on your journey.
Take care!
Yours,
Wang Lin
