19、1: Yes. I think we should tell them folk music is best liked in China. Before they enjoy it, they need to know the types of Chinese folk music. Born in the North, I like the north folk music in China, and I like its content which reveals the life of the people in the north. Peng Liyuan is my favouri
20、te folk music singer.S2: Yes. I think we should tell them how folk music was developed and what it is about. I like the south folk music. I like to learn about the culture in South China. Li Shuangjiang, Jiang Dawei, Peng Liyuan, Song Zuying are my favourite folk music singers. T: Now list your poin
21、ts and write a passage to tell your foreign friends about the Chinese folk music.Possible version 1Chinese Folk Music Folk music is one kind of music that Chinese like best. Some tells us something about interesting places and exciting things to do. Some tells about people at work, at play, and in w
22、orkshop. Other music tells about love of country, love of nature, and love of home. Usually there are two major styles, when we discuss Han Chinese Folk music. One is the north and the other is the south. The north is cold, dry, and windy. The hardships of life are reflected in the high-pitched, ten
23、se, and agitated style of folk song. The south, on the other hand, has mild weather and much rain. Life seems to be easier, and the folk songs of the south are generally lyrical and gentle in nature.I like the folk music in North China. From the songs I can see people in the north are hard- working
24、and brave, they love our motherland, and in the songs they express their deep feelings. Peng Liyuan who is famous for her song Mount Yimeng Manor, Whoever Doesnt Say Our Home is Good and Song Zuying who is famous for her song Good Times are my favourite folk singers. I like listening to their voices
25、 and their songs sing out our feelings about our country, our life, and our dreams.Possible version 2Chinese Folk Music Folk music is a kind of music that has been passed down from generation to generation. At first it did not appear in the written form, but in the oral form. People learnt the songs
26、 from their relatives, neighbors and friends, not from the book. Early performers used to learn hundreds of songs by heart. Most of the songs were about country life, the seasons, animals, plants as well as love and sadness in peoples lives. Because I like to learn the south culture, I like the sout
27、h folk music. There are lots of famous folk music singers in China, for example, Li Shuangjiang, Jiang Dawei, Peng Liyuan, Song Zuying, etc. My favorite folk singer is Song Zuying. Her voice is very sweet. Most of her songs are about the life of the people in South Chinese and are very popular. She expresses deep feelings in her songs.Step AssignmentConsolidation:T: Today weve learned how to write an e-mail and the steps to write a passage.
