Step 1 Warming up and greeting
Daytime greeting to every student.
Step 2 Presentation
Show the picture of "authority, cafeteria, delay, tire, forbid, treat, liberty, perform, bounce,
criterion, passive, tiresome" and ask students to describe them. Then write down the words on the
board.
Step 3 Reading
First reading: ask students to read the passage "Rules Are Rules!" and find out the words that
they don't know. Then teacher explains the words that they don't know.
Second reading: ask students to listen to the tape and read it again and think about the following
questions:
Rules are rules. If you break the rules or laws, you have to pay a price. Would you like to know
what happened to Danny, Li Ming and Jenny when they failed to follow the rules?
Then ask students to answer the questions.
Third reading: read the passage again and finish exercises in section 2c
Step 4 Non-stop talk
1．Let's talk: Rules are rules.
2．As a rule, if you fail to get satisfactory grades in your courses, you cannot be promoted to a
higher level of studies. Tim has not passed his final exams, and the principal talks with him about
staying in the same grade until he gets better grades.
Principal: Tim, your grades are not good this semester, and we cannot recommend you to move
up to Grade 11.
Tim: I don’t understand. I passed everything. I worked hard.
Principal: Tim, you received a D in all of your courses.
Tim: I didn’t try to please my teachers, and none of my teachers were easy graders. But, anyway,
D is passing.
Principal: A grade of D is barely passing. Students who receive a D in a course have not proved
they know the material well enough. A student may receive a D in one course, and if all the other
grades are good, he or she will be allowed to move up to the next level. However, you received a D
in all of your courses. Under the circumstances, we cannot let you move up to the next level.
Tim: That's not fair. I don't understand. I passed everything. You just don’t like me because I’m
not smart enough.
Principal: That isn't so. Liking you has nothing to do with it. Rules are rules. You will have to
do better next semester.
Work in pairs. Role-play the dialogue between the principal and Tim. Change roles. Create your
own dialogues about the importance of following school rules. For instance, suppose one of you has
been late for school recently, and the other (the principal) talks with him/her about school discipline!

Step 2 Presentation
1．The subject of a sentence or clause is the person or thing that is doing the action expressed by
the verb. In English, different things can serve as the subject of a sentence or clause. It’s time for us
to make a summary.
2．Sometimes, however, a subject does not appear position in the sentence. For example: How
long does it take to get back to school?
In this sentence, the real subject (to get back to school) comes at the end of the sentence, and the
formal subject it takes the position of the subject of the sentence.
Ask students to memorize this part for ten minus and then ask them to close books to explain
the grammar from this part in their own words.
Step 3 Danny's grammar questions:
1．In the sentence "I sort of borrowed it from my dad", what does sort of mean? What is its
function in terms of grammar?
2．Look at this sentence: "I'm going to let you all write the exam tomorrow morning at nine
o'clock sharp." What does the word sharp mean? What is its grammatical function?
After the discussion, students summarize the answers to the questions and make group
presentations, then prepare to be evaluated by the teacher.
