Unit 7 Teenagers should be allowed to choose……
【课文翻译见后面的回帖，联系扣Q：544356858】
Section A 2d Role-play the conversation.
Sandy: I'm really excited about seeing the famous paintings by Picasso.
Wu Lan: Me, too! I'm glad Mr. Smith chose the art museum for our school trip this year.
Sandy: I'm going to bring my new camera to take lots of photos!
Wu Lan: Oh, no. Mr. Smith says we must not take photos. It's not allowed in the museum.
Sandy: That's too bad! Do you think we may be allowed to take photos if we don't use a flash?
Wu Lan: Hmm ... I think they just want to protect the paintings. So if you don't use a flash, then it may be OK.
Sandy: Yeah. I think we should be allowed to do that. I'll bring my camera anyway.
Section A 3a Read the poem aloud and discuss what the title means with your partner.
Mom knows best
When I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my side.
When I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep in.
When I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from danger.
When I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me up.
When I was seven coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for me.
But I talked back loudly, "I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now!"
When I was nine watching scary movies, she said it'd give me awful dreams.
But I shouted back angrily, "I should be allowed to watch it! I'm not a baby!"
When I was a teen going out with friends, she said, “Please be back by ten!"
But I talked back again — "I should not be told what to do! I'm seventeen now!”
Now I'm an adult, thinking back to those times.
I coughed for days after eating that ice-cream
And had scary dreams after watching that film.
I was late for school from staying out past ten.
I regret talking back, not listening to Mom.
Mom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!
Section A 2b
Should I Be Allowed to Make My Own Decisions?
Many teenagers have hobbies. But sometimes these can get in the way of their schoolwork, and parents might worry about their success at school. Teenagers often think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies as much as they want. Do you agree?
Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy from Shandong, is a running star. He is on his school team and has always wanted to be a professional runner when he grows up. However, his parents won't allow him to train so much. "Of course we want to see him achieve his dreams," says Mr. Liu. "And we know how much he loves running. My wife and I have supported every one of his races. We have nothing against running! But we think our son needs to think about other possible jobs. He's getting older now, so he needs to think about what will happen if he doesn't end up as a professional runner?
Liu Yu doesn't really agree. "Well, I think I should be allowed to decide for myself," he says. "My parents have always taught me how important it is to work hard at school and enter university. I understand this, but I'm serious about running. It's the only thing I've ever wanted to do."
His parents believe that Liu Yu should study hard in the evenings so they don't allow him to practice running at night. "Maybe he thinks its too strict or unfair," says Mrs. Liu. "But we think we're doing the right thing. He needs to spend more time on his homework because it is difficult to become a professional sports star?
But Liu Yu still disagrees. I know my parents care about me. They always talk about what will happen if I don't succeed. But I will! I'm a quick runner! I think I should be allowed to make this choice myself. Only then will I have a chance to achieve my dream."
