Love Whether it is a mother’s nurturing love for her child, a son’s loyal love for his father, the love between husband and wife, or the love between friends, love is a universal emotion that expresses itself in every culture. To love is to be human. To need love is also to be human. Children, for example, need loving care in order to be emotionally healthy. Love is a deep feeling of fondness, affection and friendship that grows between people. Romantic love usually begins as passion and evolves with time to a more lasting sense of attachment. Many of the famous romantic love stories in various cultures end in tragedies of death or betrayal. The loss of love is a favorite musical theme and the subject of countless stories, operas, songs, and ballads. The verb “like” is not as strong as the verb “love” and generally does not imply deep emotions. “Like” means to find pleasure or satisfaction in something or someone: I like eating at the restaurant; my son likes his teacher. In English, the word “love” is often used informally instead of “like” in an intensified sense: He loves music; Children love ice-cream; she loves her new job. However, “love” and “like” are totally interchangeable. It is often the context that indicates the strength of the word “love”. The verb “love” should not be used in the first person, when speaking to another person, except in romantic situations (I love you). When in doubt as to which verb to use, it is better to use “like” with an adverb: I like your dress a lot; I really like my professor; His boss liked his proposal immensely. II. Preparation 1. Getting to know each other Sample My name is Wang Ling. I am 18. I come from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. I ?graduated from the Fourth Middle School. Hangzhou is a very beautiful city. It has the West Lake, which is famous all over the world. I love my home town. I have a lot of hobbies, such as playing tennis, basketball, table tennis, and listening to music. 2. Talking about someone you love Sample I love my mother most, because she is always very kind to me, unlike my father who will scold me or slap me if I make mistakes or if I am naughty. My mother is an ordinary-looking woman, but in my eyes she is very beautiful. She is very hard-working and does almost all the housework. When I was working for the entrance examinations, she was very considerate and never let me do any housework. When I was hungry at night, she would fix a snack for me. She is a good cook. It’s a pity that I am not able to have what she cooks because I am far away from home. III. Listening-Centered Activities Play the tape and make the students listen to the three listening exercises and answer all the questions on page 4、5、and 6. If necessary, play the tape once again. IV. In-Class Reading A Good Heart to Lean On 1. Pre-reading on p.9 Directions: Discuss the following questions in pairs. 1). How do you feel when you walk on the street and see a disabled person? I feel pity towards those who are disabled. I wonder how they can manage in their daily life and whether they have a job. I feel lucky that I am not disabled. 2). Do you know anyone who is disabled? If you do, talk about him/her. Yes. My aunt is deaf and dumb. She has been like this since her childhood. My grandmother said that she became deaf because of taking the wrong medicine. She is now more than seventy years old and she has never been married. She was very kind to me. In fact it was she who brought me up. She often felt it unfair because she couldn’t hear. But she is very intelligent, and she is good at sewing. She sometimes kidded /teased me with gestures that she wanted to cut off her ears because they couldn’t work. . 2. Group discussion Sample I I agree with the students, because I have pets. I feel happy when I’m with pets. I myself have a pet cat. I like him very much, and I enjoy taking care of him. When I am unhappy or in low spirits, I stroke him, cuddle (hold sth lovingly and closely in the arms) him and then I feel much better. He is like one of my friends. In a sense he is better than a friend because he never argues with me and usually obeys me. Sample II I don’t agree with this statement. I am afraid of animals, especially dogs. I don’t know why, but I have been afraid of dogs since my childhood. At the sight of dogs, I shiver, I don’t understand how I can lower my blood pressure by stroking or patting them. On the contrary, my blood pressure would rise because I am so nervous around a dog and sometimes I can’t help screaming. 4. Writing To give the student a clearer idea of how to organize their composition, the teacher may encourage the students to include the following in their writing: *​ a description of the physical features(height, weight, etc.) of the father; *​ characteristics of the father *​ what the student thinks of the father; *​ something that had happened between the father and the student Sample I My Father My father , forty-six years old, is a peasant. He is very hard-working, because he has a big family to support. Perhaps it is because he is tired, he is a man of few words, and almost no smile appears on his face. Father has never bought any toys or candies for my younger brother and me, but I know he loves us. He is strict with us. He once said, “You should study hard so that you can serve the people better in the future.” My family was poor but father promised that he would pay for education of my brother and me even if he had to sell our house. We were deeply moved. We are determined to study hard to repay our father. I love and admire my father. Sample II My Mother My mother, a middle-aged woman, has a kind of typical characteristic of oriental women. I will always be thankful for her love and I’ll love her forever. When I was a child, my mother took me to the kindergarten even when the weather was bad. When I was naughty and made mistakes, my mother never blamed me. Instead she often told me some enjoyable stories and from these I was able to know what I should do and what I shouldn’t do. When I went to school, my mother cared about not only my daily needs but also my studies. When I did poorly in school, she often encouraged me to try my best again. She said she had confidence in me and told me never to lose heart. I’ll remember her kindness and advice forever. 5.
