      Hello, class. This week we shall go and help clean up the city parks. But
      first what is the meaning of “clean up”? What verb is it?
      Turn to page 61 and look at the chart to learn about “phrasal verb”
      What is a phrasal verb?
      ▲It is an English verb followed by one or more particles where the
      combination behaves as a syntactic and semantic unit; “turn out” is a
      phrasal verb in the question “how many turned out to vote?”

      preposition, an adverb, or an adverbial particle, all three of which are
      uninflected.

      On page 62 is an article about volunteers. Read it and underline the kinds
      of work they do. You have to circle the reasons why they like their work.
            Being a volunteer is great!
            Number 77 High School is home to three very special young people: Li
            Huiping, Lan Pei, and Zhu Ming. These three students all volunteer
            their time to help other people. This volunteer work takes each of
            them several hours a week, so it is a major commitment. Huiping
            loves to read, and she puts this love to good use by working in the
            after-school care center at her local elementary school. Here, she
            helps young children to read. Pei loves animals, and plans to study
            to be a veterinarian when he leaves school. He spends every Saturday
            morning working in an animal hospital. Ming wants to be a
            professional singer. He sings for groups of people at the city
            hospital to cheer them up.
             “Volunteering is great!” says Huiping. “Not only do I feel good
            about helping other people, but I get to spend time doing what I
            love to do.” Pei says he has learned more about animals. Ming says
            he has met some wonderful people at the hospital. The three students
            plan to set up a student volunteer project at their school. “Don’t
            put it off,” says Huiping. “Become a volunteer today!”

      Read the article again to darken the phrasal verbs found in it.
      3b Filling in the table

      Closing down by reading an English poem
      Falling Asleep in Class
      I fell asleep in class today,
      as I was awfully bored.
      I laid my head upon my desk
      and closed my eyes and snored.
      
      I woke to find a piece of paper
      sticking to my face.
      I'd slobbered on my textbooks
      and my hair was a disgrace.
      
      My clothes were badly rumpled
      and my eyes were glazed and red.
      My binder left a three-ring
      indentation in my head.
      
      I slept through class, and probably
      I would have slept some more,
      except my students woke me
      as they headed out the door.

      Just for fun
      Look at the pictures and make a story out of them.
      Reading: I’ll send you a photo of Lucky.
      Before you read, listen to the recording without looking at the article.
      While you read, underline all the phrasal verbs, blacken all the
      expressions and circle all the linking words.
      After you read, copy down all the phrasal verbs and useful expressions
      into your notebook.
            Dear Miss Li,
            I’d like to thank you for sending money to “Animal Helpers”, an
            organization set up to help disabled people. For sure, you have
            helped make it possible for me to have “Lucky”, who has filled my
            life with pleasure. Let me tell you my story.
            Being blind, deaf, unable to walk, or use your hands easily is
            soothing that most people cannot imagine. But there are many people
            who face these challenges, and I am one of them. Because I cannot
            use my arms or legs well. Normal things like answering the
            telephone, opening and shutting doors, or carrying things have
            always been difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of
            mine said that she would like to help me out. She said she would
            talk to “Animal Helpers” to see if it would be possible for me to
            get a specially trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me
            up. I told her I love animals, and that I’d love to have a dog.
            After six months of training with a dog at “Animal Helpers”, I was
            able to bring him home. My dog’s name is “Lucky”— a good name for
            him because I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m only able to
            have a “dog-helper” because of your kind donation!
            How does Lucky help me, you might ask? Well, he has been trained to
            understand different instructions. For example, I say, “Lucky!Fetch
            my book,” and he does it at once. He is very clever, and understands
            many English words, even some difficult ones like “upstairs”.
            Lucky is an amazing dog. I’ll send you a photo of him if you like,
            and I could show you how he helps me too one day. And so I thank you
            again for supporting “Animal Helpers”. It is very important that
            this organization does not run out of money. Your donation is
            greatly appreciated and the money is well used to help disabled
            people like me.
            Best wishes,
            Liz Smith

      Part 2: Teaching Resources (第二部分:教学资源)
      I. What is a volunteer?
      A volunteer is someone who performs or offers to perform a service out of
      his own free will, often without payment. The year 2001 was the
      International Year of the Volunteer. 2005 is the UK Year of the Volunteer.
      
      People may volunteer to perform some work, e.g., of charitable character.
      Some volunteer for clinical trials or other medical research, and may even
      donate their bodies to science after their death.
      II. What is an online Volunteer?
      An online volunteer is a person who contributes time and effort with an
      organization through an online connection, rather than in person. A wide
      variety of people from around the world are online volunteers and most are
      not technology professionals.
      
      Online volunteers may provide advice, consultancy and perform remote
      administration tasks for the organisation, usually a charity or non-profit
      organisation. The practice of donating time online goes by other names,
      such as virtual volunteering, cyber service, telementoring,
      e-volunteering, and cyber volunteering.
      
      There are many opportunities for people to donate their services using the
      internet. Online volunteers do a variety of tasks, such as translating
      documents, editing or preparing proposals, designing logos, researching
      information, developing strategic plans, reviewing budgets, creating web
      pages, designing flash presentations, moderating online discussion groups
      and managing other online volunteers.
      III. What is an ICT Volunteer?
      An ICT volunteer is someone who is working to foster the implementation
      and use of Information and Communication Technologies. He or she can
      install hardware, software or carry on with ICT training programmes. There
      is no need to be an online volunteer to be an ICT volunteer: installing
      hardware is a good example. Likewise, there is no need to be an ICT
      volunteer to be an online volunteer: teaching a language through a virtual
      campus is not related with ICT fostering, at least in a direct way.....
