观看“旅行的意义”（How has travel changed you）主题视频，思考旅行能给人们带来什么改变，年轻时是否有必要旅行。

（2）Text understanding

①背景知识层面思政元素：

“We are what we repeatedly do.” The sentence is actually not from Aristotle, but from Will Durant in The Story of Philosophy: The Lives and Opinions of the World’s Greatest Philosophers. In the book, after quoting “these virtues are formed in man by his doing the actions” from Aristotle’s Ethics, he summarized the sentence as “… we are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” 通过介绍课文中引用的Will Durant这句话，让学生思考习惯对人的重要性，引导学生在年轻时要养成好习惯，而旅行就是好习惯之一。

②篇章理解层面思政元素：

通过让学生快速阅读，引发学生进一步思考，了解课文整体内涵，体会到年轻时养成良好习惯的重要性，因为好习惯会伴随一生，而旅行就是一个好习惯，拥有诸多好处。

③语言知识层面思政元素（结合思辨）：

Youth is a time of total empowerment(Para. 11)

Q: Do you think you have the feeling of empowerment after attending college?With that empowerment, will you do something different from high school?

Bydiscussing about this question, students can realize that they have empowerment now, so it is crucial for them to choose right things and form good habits.

The world is astunning place, full of outstanding works of arts. (Para. 16)

Q: Have you ever visited a place in China, and had the feeling of “a stunning place”?

By thinking up this question, students can come up with as many tourist destinations as possible, which will arouse their love and appreciation for the beautiful scenery in China.

3.iExplore 2 No destination is the wrong place to go

Pont des Arts Bridge: It is a pedestrianbridge in Paris which crosses the River Seine. Around 2008, tourists took to attaching love locks with their first names written or engraved on them to the railing on either side of the bridge, and then throwing the key into the Seine below, as a romantic gesture. But the weight of nearly one million locks created damage to the structure of the bridge.

介绍课文中出现的这一景点时，结合国内旅游景点被游客损坏等图片，呼吁学生要对景点有所保护，维护生态平衡，绿水青山才是金山银山。

②篇章理解层面思政元素

通过让学生快速阅读，引发学生进一步思考，了解课文整体内涵，思考旅行时是否容易被他人影响，不要被网络诸多声音影响，而失去自己的判断和体验，人间处处皆风景。

③语言知识层面思政元素（结合思辨）：

Social media has revolutionized the way our generation interacts and how we share our lives with others. But what we share is timed, edited and filtered to represent the most perfect image possible. (Para. 3)

Q: Do you think your ideas has been deeply influenced by the Internet?

四、教学反思

1.思政元素仍需不断挖掘、选取合适材料

针对英语教材思政元素的结合点，仍需不断挖掘、商讨，要与时事相结合，与党的最新政策和方针相结合。

2.学生基础薄弱，词汇积累偏少

本单元为旅游主题，在涉及到国内旅游景点介绍时，学生难以用英语进行表达，对一些专有名词不知如何去表达。因此，仍要加强学生的词汇积累，在布置作业时，应让学生广泛搜寻相关材料，积累相关词汇。
