Friendship
Friendship is one of the greatest pleasures that people can enjoy. It is very difficult to find a better definition of friendship.A true friend does indeed find pleasure in our joy and share sorrow in our grief. In time of trial, he or she is always at our side to give us his or her help and comfort.
Knowing how valuable friendship is,we should be very careful in our choice of a friend.We must choose someone who has a good character,whose activities are good and who shows kindness of heart.We should avoid those shallow people who are easily changed by adversities or misfortune.
A true friend can always be trusted,loved and respected.If you tell a friend your secrets,he or she won’t tell anyone else.Friends share each other’s joys and sorrows.They help each other when they are in trouble,and cheer each other up when they are sad.The most important thing is that a friend always understands you.In

conclusion,when you have made a good friend,don’t forget him or her.
Step II Word study
This part is a consolidation of the words learnt in this unit. Ask the Ss to do the exercise independently.
T: Now please open your books and turn to Page
4. First let’s learn about language. Use the word they’ve learnt in this unit to fill in the blanks. Complete the sentences with suitable words in correct forms.
Step III Preparation
Get a pair of students to stand up and act as Anne and Kitty. It’s time for the teacher to be the interpreter between them. Encourage both sides to give different sentences, including statements and questions.
T: Having a friend like Kitty, do you think it a bit difficult to understand each other? Now let me come and help you.
Sa: I have grown crazy about nature.
T: Anne said she had grown crazy about nature.
Sb: When did you begin to feel like this?

Step IV Grammar
The Ss will learn the use of Direct Speech and Indirect Speech (statements and questions). First try to make clear to the Ss what direct and indirect speech is, with the help of the practice in Step III. Then give them some examples. At last get them to summarize the rules of Direct Speech and Indirect Speech (statements and questions).
T: In this part, we are to learn the use of Direct Speech and Indirect Speech (statements and questions). When do we use Direct Speech and when do we use Indirect Speech?
Ss: We use Direct Speech when we want to show the exact words. Use quotation marks to show that you are reporting the words and a reporting clause which includes information about the speaker. Use a comma to connect the quotation and the reporting clause.
T: Here is a situation. You met your former classmates Mary studying in the middle school. The following is what Mary told you. Later that day, you told another friend what Mary said to you. Change the sentences into Indirect Speech and find out when we use Indirect Speech, what we need to change.
1. I will do anything to get close to nature.
2. Some people don’t understand me.

Step V Practice
For Ex 1, get the Ss to look at the sentences carefully in pairs in order to find out the difference between direct speech and indirect speech. Guide the Ss to find out the changes in pronoun forms, word order, adverbials and so on, especially the verb tenses, the underline parts.
Ask the Ss to pay attention to the reporting clause.
For Ex 2, ask the Ss to do it by themselves, then check the answers by asking some Ss to read aloud their answers.
T: Please look at the sentences carefully in pairs in order to find out the difference between direct speech and indirect speech in pronoun forms, word order, adverbials and so on, especially the verb tenses, the underline parts.
The Ss are finding out the difference and changes.
T: Now, you’ve known the difference and the changes in pronoun forms, word order, adverbials and so on, especially the verb tenses. How about the reporting clause?
S1: The reporting clause may come before, within, or after the direct speech. When the reporting clause comes after the direct speech, the order of the subject and the verb may be changed. E.g. Jane said / said Jane. This typically happens when the reporting clause is within the reported speech and the subject is not a pronoun.

S2: Use a comma to connect the direct speech and the reporting clause.

The Ss are practicing Ex 2.

Step VI Homework

2. Ask the Ss to think out different ways to solve the problems about making friends, preparing the materials about the debate. Get the Ss to know the problem was that Anne had made a friend in the hiding place — the son of another family hiding with them, but her father was not happy about this. The topic is: How do you help to solve the problem between Anne and her father. Do you agree with Anne or her father? Use specific reasons to support your solutions.
