Please turn your books to Page 9 and look through the questions in Activity 1 first.Step II ReadingAsk students to answer the questions in Activity 1 after they look through the text. Suggested answers:1. No, he isn’t. On the contrary he thinks Yao Ming has great potential and will surely become a star if Yao is more aggressive.2. No. Chinese players are more polite and kind. They are not as aggressive as US players.3. Yes, he does.

Show the following on the PowerPoint or print the following materials out as handouts.T: OK. After learning about the coach’s comments on Yao Ming, let’s learn what theothers said about him. Please try to find the difference between Yao Ming and other players.Yao Ming Message BoardWhat Yao Ming is teaching us is a lesson that the NBA and all who watch it should learn. We live in the age where rookies with even the slightest amount of talent thump their chests and cry out loudly for attention and shoe deals. Sadly, the game of basketball has turned into a game with players who worked together as a team to a group of players lead by one man. They hawk their one-man show in order to promote themselves over their teams, but Yao Ming is changing all that. Yao hops off the bench during a time-out to hand his teammates towels to wipe the sweat out of their eyes. You will rarely see him celebrate some feat he has accomplished, but he will be the first one to high-five one of his teammates, or pat them on the back whether or not they make the shot.Yao Ming, as opposed to the other rookies in his class, is decidedly a team player. He is an exciting player to watch, but he's also an ambassador to his country. He brings his customs of honor and unity to our shores, and I am thankful we have him. There are many wonderful aspects of the Chinese culture to be shared here in the United States. One only has to watch the Rockets play to see the best of China in this spirited, talented young man.Melissa A. González from HoustonAggressive, Yao! 4/19/2005 4:02:38 PMEverything is where it needs to be, all you need is a bit of aggressiveness. You need to show the fire Y ao, the desire that’s deeply imbedded on you, to contest every single ball, every single shot, ultimately to become the centre of the universe. Showing respect is civilized but to show the disrespectful to respect is not uncivilized. Go and get that Shaq by the scruff of his neck. Toss him like a rag doll, that Yao, believe me or not, is the only way you can be respected in the current.39 amazing points! 8/17/2004 3:00:55 PMWell, we knew it was only a minor hiccup in the game with Spain but you proved it right away! And even though the loss with Spain was hard to take, it was amazing tosee you play with such zest and zeal! You threw down a guy alright. It would be even better if you knocked down the guys attempting a dunk on you. Because you know they mean no respect for you. Why give them a chance? And prevention is often better than cure! We’re right behind you and keep up the strong showing. Go Yao! DiscussionPlay a short video of a NBA game. Ask students to observe how Yao Ming played when he first joined Houston Rocket. Then show another to ask students to observe his recent play. Then ask students to work in pairs and discuss the questions in Activity 2. They may refer to both the text and the given materials. Five minutes later check the answers. It doesn’t matter if students have different opinions. The most important thing is to stimulate their interest in sports. By discussing the questions, they will learn to observe and learn to think.Suggested answers:1. Yes, because in China people are trained to be selfless and kind. They are required to remember they are just part of the team. This will influence their way they play in court.2. In football games players are more aggressive.3. I don’t think so. Boxing is very cruel. In boxing a player has to be very aggressive or he will be defeated. But if he is too aggressive, deaths may be caused.4. Chinese sportsmen and women have to learn to be a little selfish and aggressive, if necessary, to be rude.WritingDeal with Activity 3. Ask students to write a reply to an editor whose paper published the article about Yao Ming.T: Suppose the passage appears on Washington Post. Please write a reply to the editor and say what you think about the Chinese attitude to sport. You may discuss in groups first and then try to express your own opinion in the letter. You can refer to the direction in Activity 3. Make sure you use the expressions suggested in your letter.A sample of the reply:Dear Editor,I’m writing in reply to the article about Yao Ming. The title of the article is Is Yao Ming Too Nice to Be a Star. I like the fact that the article draws attention to the difference between Chinese players and US players. Yes, it is true that Yao is not as aggressive as the US players. But he is a good team player with great skills. He is our Superstar. His humility as well as his skills has gained people’s respect. But playing in the US, he has to adapt to the ways US players play. Just as the coach said “he has to be more aggressive, and if necessary to be rude to his teammates.”Now I would like to say something about how Chinese players are trained. In China players are taught to be “a man” first and then to be “a player.” That is they should learn to share, to love, to respect and also should keep in mind they are just part of the team. The team’s fame comes first. A very popular slogan in sports field is “Friendship first, competition second”. In my opinion, the reason why Yao is so kind and selfless is that he has been brought up and trained in this way. We Chinese also know the saying “When in Rome, do as Romans do”. I believe Yao will become more aggressive and play very well for Houston Rocket. Soon he will become the most valued player. With him, Houston Rocket will win their NBA championship. Good luck to them!Yours sincerelyWang FeiStep III Everyday EnglishDeal with Everyday English on Page 10. This exercise will help students to form the habit of thinking in English.
