The football match

　　阅读前，看图，让学生谈一谈是否参加或观看过足球赛，Have you ever played or watched the football match? When and Where? 当时赛况如何？What about the score?

　　阅读时，让学生默读课文一遍，做课后的习题或相关练习。再观看或听本课的影片或录音Girls beat boys，找出答案。提供足球场上队员的位置示意图，提出更难一些的问题，如：请按顺序复述由哪几个人踢进的球，这些球是如何破门的？教练们是如何评价各队球员的？前后半场的比赛有什么不同？各队队员的表现如何？等。

　　G. K   Goal keeper                          守门员

　　再读课文，让同学们回答问题，并将事件的经过用几句话总结一下。

　　阅读后, 总结一下，男队为什么会被打败？这场球赛给了我们什么启示？

　　课后完成阅读训练题How Sam Grew和The Younger Brother

关于写作训练的教学建议

　　第16单元第64课提供了一篇日记，一封信件，都是谈论有关足球赛的话题。学习这两篇文章后，可进行相关的写作训练。同时复习信件与日记的写作格式。

　　复习信件的格式如下：

　　l．右上角是写信人的地址和写信日期(Heading )。地址应从小写到大，这与中文不同，中文是先写国名，省名，市名，再写区名，楼号和门号；英语则相反，从门号写起，直到国名。地址下面要写上日期。

　　2．对收信人的称呼(Salutation )。一般的称呼前都要用Dear，如果是上司或长辈，较为郑重的情况应在Dear之后加上Mr.，Mrs.，Ms，Miss，然后再用对方的姓氏；如果是较为平等或亲近的关系，则可以在Dear后面直呼其名。

　　3．内容(Body)。这是信件的主体，与中文写信一样，应明白通顺，对亲近的人可选用轻松、诙谐、随便一些的口吻，对陌生或较远的人可选用郑重的口吻。

　　4．签名 (Signature)。签名前应写上Yours，Sincerely yours一类的字样。

　　第64课第3部分是一篇格式很标准的书信，可考虑让学生阅读之后，模仿Wu Nai的口气给Andy写一封回信，写一写这场比赛的情况。

　　日记的格式要求参照第64课。足球是一种集体运动项目。它要求所有的队员团结友爱，齐心合力，发扬团队精神。学生之间的比赛既可以促进竞争，又为大家提供了一个很好的学习和交往的好条件和环境，请根据下面的要求，写一篇日记。写作时应当尽力体现以上体育精神。

　　[比赛情况]

　　1、时间：九月十六日。地点：操场。天气：晴。

　　2、人物：你们班与12中学代表队踢一场足球赛。

　　3、结果你们班以五比三获胜。

　　[范文]

September 16 sunny

　　Today I had a quick breakfast and then went to school in a hurry because we had the last match in the league. I found it difficult to work in class because I kept on thinking about the match in the afternoon.

　　School ended a little earlier. We would play against the team from No.12 Middle School. The team from No. 12 Middle School was very big and strong, and our team felt a little afraid of them because we were neither very big nor very strong. But we were sure we were a good team and we could beat them because we played together very well. The other team had some very good players, but they did not have very good teamwork. We played as well as we could all the time. We played as our PE teacher told us-teamwork. We often passed the ball to each other and they could not get the ball. Later they felt angry and it helped us a lot. At last we won 5-3.

　　We were very glad and said “Congratulations” to each other and all the students in our class were very excited. We had a good party for the winners later in the day.

　　此文符合日记格式要求，语言规范，叙事完整，字里行间充分体现了同学间的团结合作，真诚友爱精神。团队精神是本文的主线，也正是由于这一点，作者所在的代表队才取得了胜利。
