Teaching procedures
Step 1 Lead-in
1.Talk about inventions
T: The importance of inventions to social progress can never be changed. Each invention carries the world a step forward and provides stimulation for later ones.
2.Ask the students to talk about the pictures with the teacher’s help
Describe the picture: the rubber desk, a backpack that carry you, the helicopter cap, the four-legged jeans and so on to make students draw a conclusion what an invention is.( something new to improve our life) 1) What’s the rubber desk used for?
2) How do you go to school every day? Can you imagine how you go to
school in the year of 3000?
3) Girls are always eager to lose weight, but they’re always lazy to do so.
Look at the picture, what future invention could help them?
4) Here are another two future inventions, what are they used for? 5) What is an invention according to the above pictures?
( With inventions turning up all the time, our world is always taking on a new look. Good designs are practical for our life.)
Step 2 Listening
Four tasks are involved
1. Listen for general information: tick the words you hear.
T: Zhou Rui has decided to do a project on a living British inventor called James Dyson. So he telephoned Dyson’s company in England to interview one of its engineers about the great man’s ideas. Now listen to the conversation between them and finish the exercises on page 26. Before that, please look through the introductions first.
Ask the students to finish the exercises after listening and then check the answers with them. 2. Listen for taking notes
T: While listening, you’d better make notes of the listening points like this: Show the following.
The object of his invention: The problem of his invention:
The improvement of his invention:
3 . Listen for specific information and fill in the blanks
He is an i_________who takes e_________ products, like w__________ m____________, and makes them work b____________.

In the early years, James Dyson found that a large company making carpet cleaners in America was c_____________ his ideas. He had to go to the court to p_____________ his i_____________. In the end that company had to p_____________ us a lot of money.
4. Discussion: From the details above, what qualities make James Dyson an inventor?(down-to-earth, hard-working, creative, determined, smart, never give up, brave enough to defend the rights of their own etc.)
Step3 speaking
Help students make a telephone interview and do a role play.
T: Suppose you want to apply for a job in James Dyson’s company in England. The quickest and cheapest way may be a telephone conversation. So you ring up one of his engineers to ask what kind of person he needs.
Now work in pairs and make a telephone conversation with your partner. Remember to ask for as much information as you can. Of course, we have learned about how to make telephone calls in English-speaking countries. Who can give me some examples?( When making a telephone call, we often say: Hello! Is that... speaking? Yes, this is... Can I take a message? )
T: But the following expressions may be of great help. Before listening, please read and learn them by heart.
Show the following. Hold the line, please. Hang on, please.
Just a moment, please.
I’m sorry, but this phone is out of order. I can’t get through.
I’ll ring him / her up again. I must ring off now because...
T: Now, you may work with your partner and discuss about the questions and answers.
A sample dialogue:
(S-student; E-engineer)
S: Hello! Is that James Dyson’s company? E: Yes, Who’s that?
S: This is Li Ping. Is that the personnel manager?
E: Just a moment, please. Sorry. He isn’t here right now. Can I take a message? S: No, thanks. Maybe I’ll ring him again some other time. By the way, May I ask you some questions? E: Sure, go ahead.
S: I want to apply for a job in your company and I want to ask what kind of person you need.
E: Well, as far as I know, we need some skilled workers who are good at machinery and have a good knowledge of repairing some electrical equipment used at home, for example washing machine, refrigerator, electric fan and so on.
S: Are we graduates needed in some departments in your company?
E: It’s hard to say now. Maybe you will have some chance to work and learn in some department, but you have to wait and see. If you are free, you may call the personnel manager at three o’clock this afternoon.
S: OK, I will. By the way, how much will I get if I can work as your colleague? E: Usually the average salary for newcomers is $2,000 per month. And you may get a rise if you progress well or have some invention in your work.
S: Well, I know. I must ring off now because I have to go back home for lunch. Thanks a lot. Bye!
E: Goodbye and good luck!
T: Next please swap roles and answer your partner’s questions. Remember you must behave as if you are a member of Dyson’s company and answer the questions honestly.
Homework: write down the dialogue you make up.
