Unit 3 Understanding each other Period 1 welcome to the unit Teaching objectives: 1. Enable students to get a general idea of different ways of greeting each other in different countries. 2. Ask students to think about the possible problems that may be caused by these differences. 3. Help students know more about different customs. 4. Help students form correct attitudes towards foreign cultures. Teaching procedures: Step 1 Lead-in Ask students to say what they know about the Chinese ways of greeting. In China, if we meet someone for the first time, we usually greet each other by shaking hands and saying ‘How do you do’ or ‘Nice to meet you!’. However, between familiar people, we usually say ‘Have you had your meal’ or ‘Where are you going’. Step 2 Picture talking 1. Look at the six pictures carefully. Then match the different ways of greeting with the countries. Ways of greeting and countries or areas (1) putting their hands together and bowing slightly (Thailand) (2) kissing each other on one cheek and then the other (Holland) (3) greeting each other by touching noses (the Middle East) (4) hugging each other (South America) (5) shaking hands with each other (the USA) (6) bowing to each other(Japan) Ask some students to describe the greetings using the following sentence patterns.

Then divide the class into 3 groups to discuss the 3 questions. After finishing, ask one group to report their answers to the class. (1) In English-speaking countries, there are some formal greetings, such as ‘How are you’ ‘How do you do’ and ‘How have you been’. There are also some informal ways of greeting. For instance, people often greet others that they know well with ‘Hi’ ‘Hello’’Hi there’ or ‘What’s up’. (2) There are various reasons for this. Firstly, there are cultural differences. People in the West might feel at a loss when they hear Chinese people greet them by asking whether they have eaten or not. (3) One custom that is different in the West and in China is what to say when someone gives you a compliment. In China, most people would usually show some courtesies first and then give a compliment in return to the person, but in Western countries, it is polite to accept the compliment by saying ‘Thank you.’ Step 4 Ture or False Show students more information about cultural differences; make sure that students have a basic understanding on cultural difference. 1．Westerners tend to avoid using 13.
