8、quence Game,Now watch two fashion shows, one modern and one traditional. After that work in groups of 4 and have a discussion. Then finish the following tasks.,Fashion show 1,Fashion show 2,Your Tasks:,1,2,3,Book 2 Unit 6,Watching and Discussing,Task 1. Group Discussion:,Talk about your feelings of
9、seeing the fashion shows and comments on what you can see in them respectively. Which kind of clothes do you prefer, the modern ones or the traditional? Then each group send one representative to report your groups discussion.,Reference 1 ,Reference 2 ,Book 2 Unit 6,Watching and Discussing,Reference
10、 1 Modern clothes:,Book 2 Unit 6,In the first fashion show, the models wear the high-fashion clothes, such as yoke skirts, mini-skirts, low-cut dresses, jeans or quite exaggerated clothes, such as tremendous hats, long gowns, etc. most of which are of fantastic or peculiar design and give us a great
11、 visual impact. As for me, the dresses in the first fashion show are wonderful. Wearing such daring and rebellious dresses can give a full display of their personality and preference, its probably they want to break away from tradition and play a new and independent role in society. Whats more, they
12、 can feel more confident in the new dresses. Therefore, I prefer the modern dresses to the traditional or professional clothes which are too formal to me in the second show. I think we have to advance with the times otherwise we would be quite out of fashion and seem odd to the modern youth.,Watchin
13、g and Discussing,Reference 2 Traditional clothes:,Even though the clothes in the first show are regarded as fashionable I dont think they are practical. Some of them are too revealing. They are just fit for the models to wear on the T-platform. Its not quite decent for the Chinese girls to wear dres
14、ses like that and walk around the streets. As far as Im concerned, compared with the first fashion show, the second one caters to my taste. The girls wearing traditional Chinese clothes, cheong-sam (旗袍), look so graceful and decent. With some reform, the clothes are not as inflexible as before. With
15、 them, the beauty of the female are fully revealed. As for the professional clothes, they are of various designs as well as being formal and can be worn in different occasions. Therefore, I prefer the traditional and professional clothes.,Book 2 Unit 6,Watching and Discussing,Task 2. Group Discussio
16、n:,Compare the two fashion shows and state your opinion on the changing fashion. Are you for or against following the fashion trend? What are the merits and demerits of the changing fashion? (While prepare your arguments students may refer to the tips on thetext book P.83),Book 2 Unit 6,Reference 1
17、,Reference 2 ,Watching and Discussing,Reference 1 For “following the fashion trend”,I think we might as well follow fashion trends so long as we do not go to extremes. There are various reasons for people to follow fashion. To begin with, a new trend often involves new ideas, which may promote the d
18、evelopment of human civilization. For example, when jeans and T-shirt first appeared, they might have looked strange to most observers, but later on people found them to be convenient and practical. Second, as often as not, fashion followers just need a way to show their determination to avoid tradi
19、tion. Sometimes they do something different because they are not satisfied with their status or position. They want to show their dissatisfaction or indignation by wearing different or even unusual dresses.,Watching and Discussing,The third argument Id like to put forward is that the choice of a cer
20、tain style can usually reflect ones taste. We can often hear such comments as “Her dress shows a good taste”. Sometimes the fashionable clothes may give them more advantages over others in front of some opportunities. Here is my fourth reason. Some people wear stylish, expensive clothes to show they
21、 have lots of money or are in a high position. In this way, they may feel more confident about themselves. You may not like this, but it is cruelly true that some people judge you not by your personality or intelligence, but rather by your appearance. Just as a saying goes, “Clothes make the man.” I
22、ndeed there are many reasons for us to follow fashion, though I dont mean that we have to do it all the time.,Watching and Discussing,Reference 2 Against “following the fashion trend”,Im against following new fashions blindly. Though some people may give a variety of reasons for adopting new trends,
23、 Im convinced that there is more harm than good in it. First, many fashionable things are not really practical. Do you think a lady wearing high-heeled shoes can walk fast or climb a mountain? Second, most fashion trends dont last long. Whats high fashion this year may go out of style next year. Thi
24、s naturally leads to my third point. Fashion causes a lot of waste. If expensive clothes are thrown away next year, its undoubtedly a waste of money.,Watching and Discussing,In my opinion, students should spend their time and money on study. By acquiring more knowledge, they will eventually prove to
25、 be more useful to society, and, in turn, theyll be amply rewarded sooner or later. If students indulge themselves in fashion, what theyll suffer is not only a loss of money but also career opportunities. In western countries, a punk (年轻无知的人) with his hair dyed green may find himself rejected at one
26、 job interview after another. I think the above arguments are sufficient for us to come to this conclusion: Dont follow fashion blindly. The most important thing is that what you wear should fit your personality and your status, and, you should feel comfortable.,Watching and Discussing,Acting It Out
27、,Situation 1 Mother and daughter,A girl and her mother are walking on the road when they see a woman passing by and they talk about the clothes she is wearing. The girl feels that the womans dress looks funny. But her mother has a very different idea she thinks the womans dress looks fine to her. Th
28、e girl disagrees because she thinks the womans dress is out of fashion and that is last years style. Her mother thinks its quite all right as long as it looks good on her. Therefore, the girl says that her mother is as out-dated as that woman. Still, the mother doesnt see any point in keeping hersel
29、f in style. And the girl realizes that it is no wonder her mother does not like to buy her new dresses.,Reference ,Book 2 Unit 6,Acting It Out,For the girl: Mom, look at Her dress looks She is out of fashion Youre really No wonder,For the mother: I wouldnt say that Oh, come on, as long as So what?

The shop assistant warmly greets him and asks what size he takes. The man says he is not sure. The assistant measures him and tells
31、 him that the size is 39 and asks the color he prefers. The man says light blue. The assistant shows him a pair and asks him to try it on. The man says it is comfortable andit goes well with his jacket. He goes on to ask about the price. The assistant tells him that price is $28.98. The man decides
32、to take it and asks about the way of payment.

Discuss about them with your partners and share your understanding.,Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months. Fashion is a dandy（花花公子）who is sought after by
35、women but who casts them away again and again. Nothing makes a womans clothes go out of style faster than her husband getting a raise.,Book 2 Unit 6,One of the most difficult tasks in this world is to convince a woman that even a bargain (便宜货) costs money. Many people suffer discomfort because they
36、buy shoes to fit the occasion instead of the feet. Good taste in clothing is hard to define, but you know when somebody doesnt have it.,Fun Time,Fashion Emergency By Lulu Wilson How on earth has this happened? Oh, how will I fare?
