Read the short passage. The teacher
asks some questions about the passage.
2) Please find out the supporting
sentences.
1) What is the idea that the author
supports?
I agree with this idea, especially on the subject of learning English. In my class, there are 45 students, and our English lessons last for 50minutes. That means that we each other have one minute of our teacher’s time! Our English teacher is excellent, but she can’t help everyone in the class in 50 minutes.
It would be much better if we spent
the time working on a computer. There
are 45 computers in our school, so we
could do that. If we work independently,
we can learn much more. And we can
learn about the subjects that we are
interested in.
What is the idea that the author
supports?The author’s opinion is that we can
learn all we need on the Internet.

It’s very important to…
It would be very difficult to…
•the importance of having a teacher
•the importance of working together
as a class
•the danger of spending too much time
looking at a computer
While doing this, refer to the following:
The teacher may let students discuss it
with their partners and make a list of
supporting ideas. e.g:
1) The teacher plays an important part
in our class. And when we have some
questions, we can communicate with
our teacher and turn to the teacher
for help.
2) Working together may train our team
work. It is necessary to work with
others.
3) In reality/fact, however, after leaving
school, you will find that almost all the
work in many fields is done in teams.
4) On the Internet, other students think
that there is some information that is
not good for the students. Spending
too much time on line will do harm to

上当受骗 to be cheated
Should students make friends
online? Some people say yes. The
Internet helps us to make many friends.
Chatting online, students can express
their feelings and opinions freely, and
even get help with their foreign
language studies.
Others, however, think students
should not. They say making friends
online is a waste of time, which should be
spent more meaningfully on study.
Besides, some students get cheated
online.
It’s my opinion that students should
place their study, health and safety
before other things. As for friendship, we
can readily find it in our classmates and
other people around us.
