I have given you the opportunity to create a new holiday. Now it's time for you to present your holiday and give us your reasons. Who'd like to tell us your creation? Sa: In my opinion, the new holiday should be Nature Day. It should be celebrated on March 13th, when people should persuade the people around to protect environment and wildlife by delivering papers and giving lectures and no pollution or destruction of nature is allowed. I think this is the most necessary because our surroundings are being polluted faster than nature and man s present ejfort can prevent it and it is high time we did what we could to protect our home.Sb: I think the new holiday should be Peace Day. On this day, no fighting or conflicts are allowed. People will learn and talk about peace and send olive （橄榄枝）and doves. Thats because the world is full of wars, killings and terrorism and some countries start wars in the name of freedom and democracy, so many people died, many are homeless and the world economy is influenced. On the country, most people long far peace.Sc: In my personal opinion, the new holiday should be Relaxation Day, when people can do what they want to, as long as they don ft break the law. As most of us, old and young, live a busy life under certain pressure, we need the holiday to relax ourselves and to make the friends and relatives happy.Sd: I think the new festival should be the Studentsf Day, which will be held on the first Sunday after June 9 every year. On that day no students need to study just doing what they like to without homework, without papers or orders of parents9 and teachers You know, we are so tired under great pressure. On June 9 the entrance exam is over, the school-leavers can hold a party to celebrate their graduation.T: Wonderful ideas! I can't agree with you more. We need some way to relax ourselves indeed. There happens to be a festival called Carnival when people can do what they want to without being recognized. Would you like to know more about it? Ss: Yes.T: OK. Let's come to the passage on page 32. Please skim through the passage and then check the topics it mentions. This time, read just for the general ideas of the passage. Six minutes for you to complete the 450 words.Step II RevisionT: I think you must know something about Carnival. Carnival is a traditional time of celebration before the Christian season of Lent. Lent is a forty-day period of spiritual renewal before the holiday of Easter. Carnival ends with a wild celebration on Mardi Gras, the Tuesday before the start of Lent. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people gather in the city. They enjoy a series of lively parties and parades. Carnival today is an international, multicultural experience. It has become a celebration of life itself. But how did it become so? And do you know what the symbol of Carnival is?Ss: People always wear masks at Carnival. But I want to know why people wear masks at carnival. .T: Today we are going to learn more about Carnival. Now please read The Magic of the Mask and then answer my questions.SkimmingAsk the Ss to skim through the questions and then read the text silently. Get the Ss comprehend the passage quickly and accurately and at the same time help them to form a good habit of reading. Show the questions on the screen.1. What do you think of when you think of carnival? (We think of crowds, costumes, masks, and confusion.)Where and why does the word “carnival“ come from? Where does Carnival originate from? What did people see Carnival as? ("Carnival comes from two Latin words, meaning "no more meat” . In Europe, where it began, carnival was followed by forty days without meat, as people prepared for the Christian festival of Easter. People saw Carnival as a last chance to have fun at the end of the winter season. Having fun meant eating, drinking, and dressing up.)2. How was the Carnival in Venice? (It was the most famous carnival in Europe. The first carnival in Venice lasted for just one day. As time passed, the carnival period was extended, so that it began just after Christmas. For weeks on end people walked round the streets wearing masks, doing what they could without being recognized.)How did the different kinds of people behave in the carnival in Venice? (Ordinary people could pretend to be rich and important, while famous people could have romantic adventures in secret. Many crimes went unpunished.)3. Why were masks banned when Venice became part of the Austrian empire, at the end of the eighteenth century? (Because the government realized that wearing masks had become a problem. Their use was limited by laws. First men were not allowed to wear masks at night, and they were not allowed to dress up as women in the fourteenth century. In later times more laws were passed. People who wore masks could not carry firearms; and no one could enter a church wearing a mask. If they broke the laws, they were put into prison for up to two years. Finally, masks were banned and carnival became just a memory.)When and why was the tradition wearing masks revived? And by whom? (In the late 1970s the tradition was revived. The idea to start the carnival again came from students. They began making masks and organizing parties, and threw bits of brightly coloured paper at tourists. The town council realized that carnival was good for business, and the festival was developed for tourists.)4. How long and when is carnival in Venice celebrated today? (For five days in February.)Is the spirit of Venice carnival the same as the great American carnivals? (No. The spirit of Venice carnival is not quite the same as the great American carnivals. If the key to Rio is music and movement, then in Venice it is the mystery of the mask. If the masks come off, the magic is lost.)Give the Ss six minutes to look through the text, allow them to discuss with their partners encourage them to express themselves with their own words.Step HI Intensive ReadingLet the Ss have enough time to read the passage carefully this time to understand the main ideas of each paragraph and get the details.T: Read the text loudly for a second time and then complete the sentences with the correct words and phrases.

How did you get the answer?S: According to the sentence: In Europe, where it began, Carnival was followed by forty days without meat, as people prepared for the Ch ris tian fes ti va I of Easter.T: You are quite right. Can you analyze the sentence?S: Sure. There are two clauses in this sentence, the former used as attributive clause and the other as adverbial clause of reason. Now it's time for you to complete tasks 3 and 4 and then read the text once more to check your answers. After you have finished them you can also discuss them with your partners.Language pointsIn this part try to help the students to analyze the difficult, long and complex sentences and talk about the meaning of the new words and ask them to deal with the language points in the context.T: Well, please look at the screen and I'll show you some important sentences and phrases in the passage.
