T: OK. Today we will read the passage on Page 52 to learn more information about Internet and the World Wide Web. Task 1

T: Let’s take up the reading now. First, I will give you 5 minutes to read the passage quickly to find the answers to the questions in Activity 1 on Page 52. Now, let’s check the answers together:

T: Who would like to tell me what the Internet is? T: Perfectly. How did it start?

T: Excellent. How about the next two questions? T: Well done. So much for the questions.

T: We know sometimes it is not easy to get the main idea of a passage. Maybe it is better to do it in this way. First, we had better find the key sentence of each paragraph. The key sentence usually appears at the beginning or the end of a paragraph. After that we can summarize the main idea in our own words. Now we are going to listen to the passage, when you are listening, please try to get the key sentence of each paragraph.

T: Now who would like to tell me the key sentence of the first paragraph? T: You are right. What about the second paragraph? T: Excellent. How about next paragraph? T: Quite good. Next paragraph?

T: Good! Who’d like to tell me the main idea of the passage? Task 3
