Discussion
Sa: To my understanding, a great person is someone who should be hard-working, determined, unselfish and generous. If he/she works hard, however great the difficulty he/she meets is, he/she will go on working hard. If he/she is unselfish and generous, he/she will help others without pay and get respect from others. If he/she is determined, he/she will never give up when he/she is in great trouble.
Sb: To my understanding, a great person is someone who should be kind, brave, determined and confident. As a great person, he /she first should be kind-hearted. Only when he /she is kind-hearted, he/she can help others when they are in trouble. Second he/she should be brave, when he /she are facing the danger, fear or terror, he won’t be afraid. Lat he/she should be determined and confident, when he/she has confidence, he will never lose heart in front of failure. In a word, I think a kind heart, bravery, determination and confidence can make a great person.
…
T: Now, let’s have a summary. As a great person, he/she should help others, get on well with others, be willing to do public service, be active in society activities and never lose heart when he /she is in great trouble and so on.

T: Now, please look at the screen. Can you recognize who they are?
Sa: Yes, they are William Tyndale, Norman Bethune, Sun Yat-sen, Gandi, Nelson Mandela and Neil Armstrong. They are all important people.
T: Are they all great people?
Sb: No. In my opinion, Neli Armstrong is not a great person.
T: Why?
Sb: Because he only landed on the moon, which is not only his work, but the work of many people.
T: Any other opinions?
Sc: I agree with him.
T: Now, let’s discuss in pairs and decide who is a great man. Please give your reasons for your opinions.
Five minutes later.
T: Who can answer the questions voluntarily?
Sa: I think Norman Bethune is a great man. He developed several innovative (革新的) surgical instruments which are still in use today. Norman Bethune is best known in China for his work as a field surgeon with the Eight Route Army from 1937-1939. During this time he invented mobile blood banks to provide blood transfusions to wounded soldiers in the field. Dr. Bethune died on November 12, 1939 in China. His sacrifice (牺牲) was commemorated by Mao Zedong in his essay "In Memory of Norman Bethune". Bethune’s spirit of service, courage and innovation continues to inspire Canada-China innovative partnerships today. He is a great internationalist.
Sb: I think William Tyndale is a great man. He gave us our English Bible. Forbidden to work in England, Tyndale translated and printed in English the New Testament and half the Old Testament between 1525 and 1535 in Germany and the Low Countries. He worked from the Greek and Hebrew original texts when knowledge of those languages in England was rare. But he was condemned as a heretic, Tyndale was strangled and burned outside Brussels in 1536.
Sc: I think Sun Yat-sen is a great man. He is the great pioneer of Chinese democratic (民主)revolution. Mr. Sun’s original name is Sun Wen and styled himself Yat-sen. When he took part in the revolutionary activities, he was respectfully and widely called Mr. Sun Zhongshan in China. He put forward the famous guiding principle — "driving the invaders out, restoring the

sovereignty of China, establishing a republic and equalizing the land ownership” and the Three People’s Principle — "nationalism; people’s rights; people’s livelihood". He founded the first Republic in China in 1911 after many years’ fighting.
Sd: In my opinion, Gandi is a great man. He was called "Bapu", meaning "Father"— because he was the father of the Indian nation of the twentieth century. He formed an organization leading the Indians’ struggle for equal rights. He gave up a rich life for his ideas and fought for his country to be free from the UK in a peaceful way. Gandhi was much more than a clever lawyer, a fine speaker, a determined fighter for human rights and a political leader. He was a model of a different kind of political leader. At the time of his death, Albert Einstein praised him as follows: Future generations, it may be, will hardly believe that such a person as this walked upon this earth.
Se: I think Nelson Mandela is a great man. He is the former South African president. In order to make the black people get the freedom, he fought many years and was put in prison for thirty years. He helped the black people to realize the dream of making black and white people equal.
Sf: In my view, Neil Armstrong is a great man. Neil Alden Armstrong is the first man to walk on the moon. As spacecraft commander for Apollo XI, the first manned lunar landing mission, Armstrong was the first man to walk on the Moon. "That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." With these historic words, man’s dream of the ages was fulfilled.
T: According to what you said just now, I think all the people on our book are great people.
Step III Talking
Talk about your hero/ heroine.
T: Let’s come to Page 69. Please look at the four pictures and answer the following questions, you can talk about each in pairs.
Who is your hero/heroine?
Why do you like him/her so much?
Did he/she do anything for others?
What are his/her best qualities?
Five minutes later.
T: OK, I’ll ask fours students to speak.
Sa: Abraham Lincoln is my hero. He is one of the greatest presidents of the USA. He ended the slavery of the South America and united the South and the North America into a whole state. His

best qualities are bravery, confidence and leadership.
Sb: Confucius is my hero. He was a well-known leader in philosophy and he also made many wise 啊ideas and thoughts that talk about the human's behavior, the rules that you should follow to make a successful life, and about the government.
Sc: Albert Einstein is my hero. He is one of the greatest scientists of the century in the world. He put forward the theories of relativity. His theory in physics helped the world to know more about the universe, so he was given the Nobel Prize in 1921. He proved that light does not travel in a straight line, but bends as it passes the sun.
Sd: My hero is Qian Xuesen who is "the father of China’s aerospace" and "king of rockets". He is also one of the pioneers of China’s apace science. Because of his contributions, China launched its first manned spacecraft ——the Shenzhen V.
Step IV Speaking Task
T: Work in pairs and think of a person you both agree is a great person. You can consider some possibilities on page 74. Then consider whether a great man has to be perfect? Do bad qualities make a person less great? And explain why. Minutes later I will ask one pair to report your choice and give your reasons.
Five minutes later.
T: Are you ready? Who’d like to tell us your choice?
Sa: Li Shizhen is our hero. He developed BEN CAO GANG MU by traveling around the country in that undeveloped times. He is determined, brave and devoted.
Sb: Marie Curie is our heroine. She studied radioactive materials and discovered radium. I like her because her discovery of radioactive elements laid the foundation for future discoveries in nuclear physics and chemistry. Her best qualities are persistence, determination and modesty
Sc: And I think a great man needn’t to be perfect. Of course bad qualities do influence a person, but there isn’t a perfect man on the earth. When one do a great more good and something bad of no importance, we needn’t focus on his badness.
T: I think that both of you are right. Thank you!
