牛津译林版高中英语选修八Skills building 1: completing a quizIn a quiz, we are usually asked to answer some questions. What should we do when we take a quiz and what steps we should take to make sure that we answer the questions correctly? Let’s read the guidelines and the three steps on our books. After that you will have a chance to complete a quiz about the film industry.Step 1: completing a quiz about the film industryThis part is designed to help you develop your listening skills. You will listen to two radio programmes discussing the early days of film, and then read a web page about film facts. You are expected to use all of the information to complete a film quiz. Before listening, you can look through the questions first.TapescriptHost: Today on History’s Greatest Inventions, we are discussing films, which were once called ‘moving pictures’!Guest: Well, that isn’t such a strange name. That’s what films are——moving pictures. What our eyes see as movements are really just the small differences between thousands of still photographs.Host: Really?Guest: Yes, every film is made of frames, and each frame is just a photograph. We first started viewing them as connected films back in the 1880s. William Friese-Green was the first man to record and then play back what we now think of as a film. He made his film in Hyde Park, London, and later watched it in his home. On the twenty-eighth of December eighteen ninety-five, two Frenchmen, the Lumière brothers, made a film and presented it to pay ing audiences. They are often considered the ‘fathers of the modern film industry’Host: These first films were not like the ones we see today, were they?Guest:No. One big difference is the speed of the filming—at first, cameras were operated by hand, and it was hard to keep the film moving at the same speed all the time. When we see these old films today, the actors look like they are moving too fast. Another big difference is that old films had no sound. We now refer to them as silent films. When people went to see them, there would be a piano player, or even an orchestra in the theatre to provide music. The first ‘talking film’ or film with sound was shown in New York in nineteen twenty-seven. It was called The Jazz Singer. The first words ever heard in a film were, ‘wait a minute. Wait a minute. You ain’t heard nothin’yet.’ Audiences were so excited they even stood up in the theatre and applauded!One other thing you will notice if you watch an older film is that they were all in3. Listen to another radio programme in Part B. This time you will listen to some information about Hollywood, and you can use the information to answer some of the remaining questions onafter listening to the recording in this part.This part is designed to help you pay attention to the words or information emphasized in a question to answer it exactly. In the Grammar and usage section of this unit, we learnt how to emphasize some parts of sentences by adding some words or using certain sentence structures. Are there any other ways that we can emphasize some words or information, especially when we are speaking? Sometimes we stress the words we want to emphasize. Now let’s go over Skills building 2.Step 2: asking and answering questions about Chinese filmsIn this part, you should work in pairs to conduct an interview about Chinese films. You are expected to practice the speaking skills you have learnt in Skills building 2.1. Go over the instructions so that you know what to do in Step2. Then read all the questions and answers and make sure that you know what you are going to do.2. Work in pairs to do this role-play activity, asking and answering questions about Chinese films. When asking questions, you should emphasize the words in bold. The student who is answering questions should repeat the emphasized words. After you finish asking and answering these questions, you should switch roles. In this way, every one of you will have a chance to practiceSkills building 3: using information from more than one sourceIn this part, you will learn what you need to do to prepare the information for a speech or an essay competition.T: What will you do before you attend a speech or an essay competition? Give as many answers as you can.S1: know what the subject of the competition isS2: find out different aspects of the subject and write the draftS3: do research on the aspects that you do not knowT: Review what you have learnt about the film industry in Steps 1 and 2. List the information you have already obtained, and think about what else you will need in making the speech or writing the essay for the competition. For example:● The information I have already got:the first film-maker/ fathers of modern film;where the first film was made;the first studio in Hollywood;the title of the first ‘talking film’;the title of the first film made in China;the differences between old and modern films● The information I need to do r esearch on:the titles of the best films in some famous film festivals this year;some famous actors/ actresses in Hollywood/ ChinaStep 3: writing a speech about the film industryNow you are required to write a speech using information gathered in the previous steps.
