1. Warming up
Warming up by talking about Canada
Hello, everyone. Today we are going to read about Canada. But first I’d like to inform you of some facts about this second largest country in the
world.
Best of the World's Best
For 7 years in a row (1994-2000 inclusive) the United Nations voted Canada "the best COUNTRY in the world in which to live". In 2001 it was voted 2nd and in 2002 Canada was ranked 3rd. An 8th place ranking in 2003 was disappointing, but Canadians still feel that it is the best!.
In January 2000, Vancouver (BC) was voted "the best CITY in the world in which to live" (in a 3-way tie with Zurich & Bern, Switzerland and Vienna, Austria).
Warming up by looking and listening
Hi, everyone. Look at the picture and tell me what it is like. Yes, the head of the man looks like the map of Canada. The man, representing Canada, is playing hockey, the national sport of the country Canada.
Hockey Canada Strengths
4.5 million Canadians are involved in hockey as coaches, players, officials, administrators or direct volunteers (this does not include spectators, parents and occasional volunteers).
Research has shown that hockey is the activity of choice of over 2 million Canadians.
Over 508,000 players are registered with Hockey Canada for the
1998-99 season.
There are more than 1.5 million games played and 2 million practices every year.
There are over 3,000 arenas in Canada.

4. Listening and reading aloud
Reading aloud to the recording of the text improves our literacy skills — reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Now please listen and read the text aloud. Pay attention to the pronunciation of each word and the pauses within each sentence.
加拿大太平洋岸的一颗宝石——温哥华市 Vancouver
世界上很少有城市能像卑诗省的温哥华如此秀丽天成、多彩多姿及诸色人种汇聚一堂。温哥华坐落于加拿大西海岸,拥有一百八十万多元化人口,乃加拿大第三大城市,并且是国际商业重镇。
温哥华被海洋、青山及公园绿地所环绕,提供了其它城市难得一见的城区优质生活。它的街道安全洁净;它的海滩、青山易于接近;它的居民亲切友善。
温哥华提供琳琅满目的体育、文化、娱乐活动机会。在它四季宜人的气候下,您一定可以了解为何温哥华被喻为 "加拿大太平洋岸的一颗宝石"。
5. Reading and underlining
A really useful way to help us with our listening is to become aware of 'thought groups' .
When we speak, we need to divide speech up into small ‘chunks’ to help the listener understand messages. These chunks or thought groups are groups of words which go together to express an idea or thought. In English, we use pauses and low pitch to mark the end of thought groups.
Next you are to read the text, dividing the text into thought groups and circling all the useful expressions or collocations in the passage. Copy them into your notebook after school as homework.
