Step 2 Introduction of Background Information

A seifie is a self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a digital camera or

camera phone held in the hand social networking services such as facebook, Instagram

and Twitter. They are usually flattering and made to appear casual. Most selfies are

taken with a camera held at arm's length or pointed at a mirror, rather than by using a

self-timer.

The term"selfie"was discussed by photographer Jim Krause in 2005, although

photos in the selfie genre predate the widespread use of the term. In the early 2000s,

before Facebook became the dominant online social network, self-taken photographs

were particularly common on MySpace. However, writer Kate Losse recounts that

between 2006 and 2009 (when Facebook became more popular than MySpace),

the"MySpacepic"(typically"an amateurish, flash-blinded self-portrait,often taken in

front of a bathroom mirror") became anindication of bad taste for users of the newer

Facebook social network. Early Facebook portraits, in contrast, were usually

well-focused and more formal, taken by others from distance. In 2009 in the image

hosting and video hosting website Flickr, Flickr users used"selfies"to describe

seemingly entdless self-portraits posted by teenage girls. According to

Losse,improvements in design-especially the front-facing camera of the iphone 4 (2010),

mobile photo apps such as Instagram and Snapchat led to the resurgence of selfies in the

early 2010s.

Initially popular with young people, selfies gained wider popularity over time.

By the end of 2012,Time magazine considered selfie one of the"top 10 buzzwords"of

that year, although selfies had existed long before, it was in 2012 that the term"really

big time".According to a 2013 survey,two-thirds of Australian women aged 18-35 take

selfies- the most common purpose for which is posting on Facebook.A poll

commissioned by smartphone and camera maker Samsung found that selfies make up

30% of the

photostaken by people aged 2013,the word"selfie"had become commonplace

enough to be monitored for inclusion in the online version of the Oxford English

November 2013,the word"selfie"was

announced as being the"word of the year”by the

0xford English Dictionary,which gave the word itself an Australian origin.

Discuss the following questions:

Question: Do you like selfies? Why or why not?

I

like selfies because (1) it is a good form of self-expression; (2) it is a way to show our unique personality. I dislike selfies because (1) it is a matter of privacy; (2)

it may cause injuries while taking July 2014,a

fourteen-year-old girl in the Philippines fell to her death

after losing her balance while taking a selfie of herself

and a friend near the staircase landing of their school in

suburban Pasig City.

Step 3 Listening Practice

choose the best answer to the questions they hear.

Pay attention to the key words of every sentence

Key: B D D B C

2. Play the recording of Practice B—Short conversation, students try to choose the

best answer according to what they have heard.

Key: D A B C B

3. Play the recording to Practice C—Dictation, students try to fill in the blanks in

情态动词数量不多,主要有can(could),may(might),must,need,ought

to,dare(dared),shall(should),will(would)。

情态动词的位置:

(1)I can see you,Come here.我能看见你,过来吧

(2)What can I do for you? 你要什么?

(3)He must have been away.他一定走了

(4)How dare you treat us like that?你怎么能那样对待我们?

情态动词的特点:

情态动词无人称和数的变化,其否定式构成是在情态动词后面加not。个别情态动词有过去式和现在式两种形式,过去式常用来表达委婉的语气。例如:

(5)He can be here soon.他很快就来

(6)Can you help me?能劳驾帮我一下吗?
