Q1: Why is AIDS a deadly disease?
(Break down/ defenceless/treatment/not available/incurable)
Q2: Why do the young suffer the most?
(As with many diseases, children seem to suffer the most from AIDS, mainly because of a lack of proper health care, prevention and education. Even if they themselves are not infected, the disease can ruin their lives. They may have to care for sick relatives and are often unable to go to school. Living with a parent or parents who have AIDS is painful and difficult. Because the parents cannot work, the children may not have enough food and must help take care of the family.)

(Not only the disease itself and inevitable death, but also people’s not knowing, misunderstanding and fear of the disease.)
Q4: What can be done to improve the situation?

The Forth Period
GOALS:
 To learn some information of cancer and the attitude towards it.
 To write a personal narrative.
TEACHING PROCEDURES
I. Pre-reading
Life is not always smooth, but with submerged rocks here and there, now and then. When faced with unexpected diseases or disasters or even death, what attitude to choose is a question.
Q: For example, if you found out that you had an incurable disease, how do you think your life would change? And how would you act towards the change?
-- Born dying with AIDS, Xiaohua says, “My life may have to be short, but there’s no reason why it can’t be beautiful.”
-- Diagnosed with cancer, ‘I’ also have something to say to you. Now let’s see what ‘I’ will say to you.
II. While-reading
Questions:
Q1: How did cancer change the writer’s life?
Q2: Compare the writer’s situation with that of Xiaohua. In what way are their experiences similar or different?
Q3: Do their experiences strike you?
Q4: What have you learnt from them?
(Get the students to put emphasis on some language points, especially how the writer expresses what he thinks. e.g.
 I remember having an empty feeling in my stomach and thinking that my life was going to end.
 There were days when I wished that I were dead so that I would not have to feel so sick.)
III. Writing
Life is like a moon, sometimes round, sometimes not. We have happy times and also sad moments. If we draw a timeline, we will find it is not always straight. Take myself for instance…
Steps to follow
Step one: think about your past days: what were some events that made you very happy? What made you very sad?
Step two: draw a timeline of your life and mark the best times (the highs) and the worst times (the lows).
Step three: talk about the happy and sad things to your partner, with reference to the timeline.
Step four: choose one event, either happy or sad, which impresses you most. Try to remember all the details of it, especially how it made you feel, what it made you think and why it is important in your life. Prepare for writing it down.
Step five: work out an outline of what you are going to write.
Step six: read an example.
Step seven: begin to write.
IV. Homework
1. Write an essay about an important event in your life.
