Step I Lead-in (1 minute)

T: Class begins! Good morning, girls!

S: Good morning, teacher!

T: Sit down, please! Today we’re going to have an English poetry reading competition. But before the competition, we’ll check the exercise first, ok?

S: Ok.

Step Ⅱ Exercises (20 minutes)

T: Good! Will you please turn to page 103 and look at exercise 1. Change the words below into nouns by adding a suffix. Here “suffix” means”後綴”。

（Explain the words one by one and check the answers）

T: Now let’s look at exercise 2. Who’d like to read your answer?

(Explain the words one by one and check the answers )

T: Look at the second line. We’ve learnt the phrase “go through”, right? It means read quickly. But here it means “experience”. E.g. 他們都經歷過這場戰事.

S: They have all gone through the war.

T: Good. Now let’s see the fourth line. A higher quality of life. What does “quality” here means?

S: 質量

T: Then how to say”優質產品”?

S: Products of quality.

T: Right! Very good. So this sentence means”詩歌為人類提供了更高的生活質量.” Now let’s move on. Look at the sentence:” What sets them apart is that they are very skilled at playing with words and can put words together in amazing ways.” Here “set apart” means"把……分開”. “set apart” has another meaning. "留出，撥出”. E.g.撥出金額買新設備.

S: Set apart a sum of money for new equipment.

T: Well. What about the phrase “be skilled at”?

S: Be good at.

T: That’s right! We can say be skilled at writing or be skilled at painting. Be skilled at doing sth. Clear?

S: Yes.

T: Have you got any other questions about this passage?

S: No.

T: Ok. Now let’s look at exercise 3. Translate the following sentences into English, using the words in brackets.
