Book4 Module1 Life in the future (on page 72)
A Teaching Design for Reading-based Writing
阅读主题语境：人与自然——未来生活与环境
语篇类型：应用文
授课时长：1课时（40分钟）

活和环境的话题阐述了自己不同的看法，且在书信结尾处总结了自己的观点，表达了自己对未来
美好生活的憧憬。
学情分析：所授课班级的学生英语基础较好，学习态度认真。学生已基本具备在阅读过程中获取
细节信息的能力，部分学生能自信地用英语表达自己的观点，但学生们在理解和整合知识，从分
析文本结构到以读促写方面的能力还较欠缺。

附：文章原文
I enjoy reading your article Twenty Years from Now, about the life in the future. I was especially interested in the
section on the environment. However, I think the article is too pessimistic about the future. It seems that nothing will
improve and our world will be a terrible place to live in twenty years from now.
Personally, I don’t agree with this vision. I believe that scientific research will help save our planet. Scientists will
find new forms of alternative energy to run our cars and homes before we run out of oil. Wildlife won’t disappear because
genetics will help us save animals that are in danger. We will recycle all our garbage so we won’t waste our natural
resources.
In fact, I think that life will be much better twenty years from now because of few scientific discoveries. People will
live longer and healthier lives. I only hope I will still be alive to see the new world.
