do 2 common listening tasks: True or false and gap filling To get general knowledge about one kind of alternative energy: solar energy
- Teaching aids: cassete
- Anticipated problems: Ss may not be familiar with solar energy

*Checking: Ro + R
3 Pre listening
* T/F statements: (P.60 - 4.a)Listen to the news on solar energy and decide whether the statements are true or false
1 Solar energy can be cheap and clearn
2 Most of our electricity now comes from nuclear power
3 The solar energy that gets to the Earth can not provide enough power for the world’s population
4 Solar energy can be used on cloudy days
5 All building in Sweden will be heated by solar energy in 2050
Trang 16* Gap fill: (section b- P.60) Ask Ss to get the missing words Useful question is: What is the part of speech of the missing words? Call some Ss to read the completed sentences.
- Key: 1 effective 2 pollution 3 countries 4 store 5.roof 6 instead
5 Post listening
* True / false repetition drill
- Ss read aloud 5 to 7 statements about content of the listening If the statements are true, Ss repeat after the teacher If the statements are false, Ss stay silent Any Ss don’t follow this ruler, they will be given a kind of
“punishment”by classmembers or teacher ( may use the statements in section
a to review )
- Call some Ss repeat the true statements in this lesson
* Write it up: (optional)
Students write about energy, using the ideas discussed above and the two exercises (a+b) on page 60
* Tapescript: Are you looking for a cheap,clean,effective source of power that doesn’t cause pollution or waste natural resources? Look no further than solar energy from our sun.At present, most of our electricity comes from the use of coal,gas, or nuclear power.This power could be provided by the sun.One percent of the solar energy that reaches the Earth is enough to provide power for total population Many countries are already using solar energy Solar panels are placed on the roof of a house and the Sun’s energy can be stored for
a number of days, so on cloudy day you can use solar energy too Sweden has
an advanced solar energy program There, all buildings will be heated by solar energy and cars will use solar energy instead of gas by the year 2015

Trang 34enhance family traditions Members of families can have a chance to get
together, to know one another and to help one another
I think first Sunday of April is suitable Sunday is a day off so everybody is free from work or study April is late Spring or early Summer and the weather
is generally fine at this time of the year Many activities can happen oudoors
It is not necessary to have parties but it’s a good idea to have lunch or
dinner with all members of the family Children should give their parents flowers, send them cards or bring them special cake Moreover, children
should serve their parents the food that they like best
I believe the idea will be supported and the day will be celebrated
nationwide because everybody loves their parents and wants their parents to be happy
