Unit 5 The Value of Money
Period 1 Listening &Speaking＆Talking

教学设计

This themes of the section are “Discuss the good deed of returning lost money” and “Describe people’s changing attitudes in a film clip”.

Just as Francis Bacon said “Money is a good servant and a bad master”. Faced with the money, people’s attitudes are quite different. Some are tempted by it, but some are not; some use it to help others, but some use it to do evil things; some love it but honestly earn; some love it but lick others’ boots. Part A (Discuss the good deed of returning lost money) tells the story that a cleaner Chen Liyan, who works at Taiyuan Railways Station, found a plastic bag inside which there is 100,000 yuan and kept on returning it to the owner without get any reward although her daughter Liu Xia has a seriously illness and she had a large loan for her daughter’s illness. Section B(Describe people’s changing attitudes in a film clip) is the Act 1, Scene 4 of the film The Million Pound Bank Note, in which the American Henry Adams ate in a small restaurant after he got the million pound bank note, but when he paid for his bill, the people such as the owner and the servant had different attitudes towards him---trying to make up to him. Therefore, faced with the value of money, different people have different attitudes. Part A and Part B is a bright comparison. In fact, it’s a test of humanity when people are faced with it.

Step 4 Post listening---Speaking

1. Discuss your answers to the questions with your partner and explain your reasoning.
   
   
   
   
     1)What kind of person do you think Chen Liyan is?
       She is honest and determined.
     2).Did Chen return the money because she didn’t need it ?
       No, she didn’t. Because her daughter had a serious illness.
     3) Is it common for people to do what Chen did ?
       Yes, it is.

       surprised
     5) Why did Ma Dongbao tell Wang about Chen’s family ?
       Because he was moved by Chen’s action.
     6) How did the news reporter feel about Chen’s actions.

The reporter feel Chen Liyan’s example shows different thinking about money. Money is important, but people like Chen’s differently isn’t everything.

Example
A: What kind of person do you think Chen Liyan is?
B: I think she must be an honest person because she returned the money to its owner Wang Zheng and didn’t accept any reward.
A: I bet she’s really determined too. You can tell this by how long she waited for the owner.

2. Work in groups of four. Discuss the following questions.
     1) Do you agree with Chen Liyan ? What would you do if you were in her situation ?
     2) When we help someone, should we expect to get something in return ?
     3) What do you think is the best way to get money ?
     4) Should we judge people based on how much money they have ?

   Example
A: I think that Chen Liyan did the right thing by returning the money and refusing to take a single cent from Wang Zheng.
B: Well, I think that Chen Liyan was correct in returning the money, but she should have accepted the money Wang offered.

Step 5 Pronunciation---Intonation

    语调（intonation), 即说话的腔调，就是一句话里的声调(pitch) 高低抑扬轻重的配置和变化。世界上没有一种语言是单一的声调说出的，以英语为例，英语有五种基本语调：升调(↗)、降调(↙)、升降调(∧)、降升调(∨) 以及平调(→)。升调和降调是英语中最基本，也是最重要的两种语调。
降调的基本意义是表示肯定、完整、结束等意义，主要用于陈述。
升调的基本意义是表示不肯定、不完整、未结束等意义，主要用于提问。

例如：

1. A：Jean, can you bring me the newspaper?

B：↗Sorry?

Jean用升调说Sorry，其意思是I didn’t hear you.Could you say that again，please?

2. A：Jean, can you bring me the newspaper?

B：↙Sorry.

Jean用降调说Sorry，显然其意思是拒绝帮助或无能为力。

3. A：Mr.Smith thinks we ought to get the money in hand first.

B：↗Who?

A：Mr.Smith.

B用升调说Who，表示听不清对方谈话中的某一部分，要求对方再重复那一部分。

4. A：We’d like to have someone to say a word at the beginning to welcome the group.

B：↙Who?

A：We thought that you or Dr.Johnson might do it.

B用降调说Who，其意思是问，对方想让谁在开场时致欢迎词。

Step 6 Pronunciation---Practice
1. Listen to the short conversation and mark the intonation with ↗, ↙ or ↙,  ↗. Then discuss with a partner what they intend to convey by using different intonation.
Owner: You know what ?↗ It’s a million-pound bank note↙.
Waiter 1: Really ?↗(question)
Waiter 2: Really !↙(unbelievable and surprised)
Waiter 3: Really ?!↙↗(first question then surprised)
2. Listen to the conversations. Underline the parts that are stressed and mark the intonation. Then talk about the implied meanings of the responses with different intonations. Listen again and repeat.
1) Henry: It’s a nice suit.
  Owner: Oh, it’s perfect!↙(The intonation means it is very suitable for Henry.)
2) Henry: Well, that’s very kind of you.
  Owner: Kind, sir ?↗(what you said is not right) No, it’s kind of you. You must come whenever you want and have whatever you like. Just having you sit here is a great honour !!↙(welcome you to come again)
3)Henry:Well, to be honest, I have none.
  Oliver:(happily) What luck!(excited) Brother↗, what luck!↙(It means “Didn’t you hear it?”)
  Henry: Well, it may seem lucky to you but not to me!↗(angry) If this is your idea of some kind of joke, I don’t think it’s very funny. Now if you’ll excuse me, I ought to be on my way.↙(If so, I would leave.)
  Roderick: Please don’t go↙...(hope Henry can wait for a moment)

Part B Viewing and Talking---Describe people’s changing attitudes in a film clip

Step 1 Before-listening---Tell the film

You are going to watch part of the film The Million Pound Bank Note. Look at these photos and guess what happens in the film.
 

The film tells Henry went to a small restaurant to eat.After he finished his meal, the owner asked him to pay for the bill, but he didn’t have money to pay for his bill until 2:00 p.m. At 2:00, he opened the letter and took out the money---Million Bank Note, everyone was shocked. Finally, the owner changed his attitude towards him and made his meal free. When he was leaving, the owner bowed.

Step 2 While viewing---Watch the film
Watch the film and answer the following questions.
1. Why does the owner of the restaurant want Henry to sit somewhere else ?
  Because Henry is in rags.
2. What does Henry order ? Why is the waiter surprised ?
  Two hams and eggs, and two nice thick big juicy steaks with all the trimmings and two long cool tankards of ale.
  Because he is in rags and eats so much.
3. Why does the owner think Henry hesitates to pay the bill ?
  Maybe he doesn’t have any money to pay the bill.
4. Why does the owner think the bank note is probably real ?
  Because he has known two notes of the denomination have been issued and in any case it’s hardly likely to be a forgery because it would draw too much attention. No forger would want that.
5. What happens in the end ?

  The owner made his meal free and welcomed him to come at any time and eat whatever what he likes. At last, when Henry left, the owner bowed.

Step 3 Post viewing---Retelling a story

1. Work in groups. Retell the story in the film clip you have just watched. The pictures in Activity 1 may help you.
   
   
   
    

After leaving the brothers’ home, Henry couldn’t wait go to a small restaurant to eat because he was very hungry. He ordered some hams and eggs, and a nice thick big juicy steak with all the trimmings and a long cool tankards of ale. After that, he saw there was some time from 2:00p.m. and not full enough, so he asked the same things again. The servant was very surprised. Then he told the owner who decided to take a chance. After he finished his meal, the servant asked him to pay for the bill, but he asked for waiting for a while. Later on, the owner came over. However, Henry kept on waiting for 2:00p.m. because he promised the brothers. In the end, at 2:00, he opened the letter and took out the money. To everyone’s surprise, it was a million pound bank note. Finally, the owner changed his attitude towards him and made his meal free. When he was leaving, the owner bowed.

2. Watch the film clip again and make up your own script to match it. Then watch the film without sound and act out your script for the class.
