Windsor Castle A particular British celebration Ask the students to read the passage quickly for the first time to find out the main idea of the text. Then ask them to read the text again carefully to obtain some details and do the exercises after the text.
T: Guy Fawkes Night is celebrated in Britain annually on November 5th. The event is accompanied by firework displays, the lighting of bonfires and the ceremonial effigy-burning of one Guy Fawkes. The origin of this celebration comes from the event which took place in 1605 and was a conspiracy known as “The Gunpowder Plot”, intended to take place on November 5th of that year (the day set for the opening of Parliament). Now read the text and then find the answers to the exercises.
Sample answers to Exercise 1:
Oct. 10: one of Fawkes’ Catholic friends, named Catesby, asked him if he would support a plan to change the government and replace it with another.
Oct. 27: Fawkes and Catesby arranged to buy a house close to the Houses of Parliament.
Oct. 28-31: Catesby and Fawkes bought large containers of gunpowder and stored them in the cellar. Nov. 6: the king and all his advisers would be in the parliament for the meeting. Sample answers to Exercise 2:
S1: I would not like to be King James, because he kept changing his mind. He would say, “I could not be tolerant of their religion.” And he took actions to stop people believing in Catholic.
S2: I would like to be Robert Catesby. He would say like this: The king is never so tolerant of the Catholics. So I decided that a violent action is the only answer. The thing to do was to blow up the Houses of Parliament. In doing so, we would kill the King, maybe even the Prince of Wales, and the Members of Parliament who were making life difficult for the Catholics. And to carry out the plan, Catesby and his men got hold of 36 barrels of gunpowder — and stored them in a cellar, just under the House of Lords.
S3: I would be an eyewitness: As the group worked on the plot, it became clear that innocent people would be hurt or killed in the attack, including some people who even fought for more rights for Catholics. Some of the plotters started having second thoughts. One of the group members even sent an anonymous letter warning his friend, Lord Monteagle, to stay away from the Parlia-ment on November 5th.
S4: I would not like to be Guy Fawkes. Because he would say, “some of us have betrayed, so we should start the plan in advance.” So he tried to start the fire. But the soldiers found him before he could do anything and he was taken to the Tower of London to be killed.
S5: If King James had kept his promise, nothing would have happened.

Step ⅠRevision and Lead-in
Ask the students to talk about the UK. A sample talk: The UK, the dominant industrial and maritime power of the 19th century, played a leading role in developing parliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its zenith, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the earth’s surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK’s strength seriously depleted in the two World Wars. The second half witnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a modern and prosperous European nation. As one of five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a founding member of NATO, and of the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach to foreign policy; it currently is weighing the degree of its integration with continental Europe. A member of the EU, it chose to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union for the time being. Constitutional reform is also a significant issue in the UK. The Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999, but the latter is suspended due to bickering over the peace process.

A sample description: Mt. Emei Mt. Emei lies in the southern area of Sichuan basin in China. Mt. Emei is one of the four sacred Buddhist Mountains in China. It is said that Mt. Emei derived its name from two peaks which face each other and look like eyebrows. The whole mountain range extends over 200 kilometers in length and breadth. Ever since the introduction of Buddhism into China in the 1st century AD, Buddhist buildings have been built on the mountain. Now there are more than one hundred temples and monasteries. It is known as the place of Buddhist Rites of Puxian. Mt. Emei is rich in natural and cultural heritage and carries several monikers: “Kingdom of Plants”, “Paradise of Animals”, “Geological Museum”, “Buddhist Celestial Mountain” and is particularly famous for the title, “Elegance of Mt.

Emei Under The Sun”. The Four Wonders of Mt. Emei are the Golden Summit Sunrise, sea of clouds, Buddha’s Halo and the Holy Lamp. The main attractions include the Baoguo Temple, Fuhu Temple, Leiyin Temple and many other spots. In 1996, Mt. Emei and the Grand Buddha in Leshan were included in the List of the World Famous Cultural Relics. One passes through four seasons in a day in the 5 kilometers from the base to the summit. The hike takes most people a full day up and a full day back down; the monasteries along the way and at the top offer overnight accommodations for travelers at reasonable prices. As you make your way up, you may be expected to encounter plenty of pilgrims trudging their way steadily upward. The stamina of some of the older pilgrims is sure to surprise you. The monkeys aren’t really dangerous, but it’s probably better to appease them. Mt. Emei is one of the most attractive tourist attractions. It lies 150 kilometers away from Chengdu, 130 kilometers from the Shuangliu International Airport and only 28 kilometers from Leshan city.
