And she found some pictures of Diana. T: Look at these two pictures. Can you guess Diana’s job in the past? As you see, she was an office lady, a secretary of a company. Did she look happy? Look at the second one. What does she do now? Does she look happy? Why does she change the job and what happened? Try to describe the pictures in your own words. 【设计意图：作为本单元最后一个课时，学生已具备较多的知识背景储备，创设情境邀请学生观察和比较两张图片，并用自己的语言描述图片初步串起故事情节。】 Step 2 Reading Comprehension 1. Discuss the pictures Students read the six pictures carefully. They can ask any question about the story, and invite the other students to answer.

Compare the lives in the past and at present T: The first paragraph and the third paragraph tell Diana’s work, lifestyle and way of travelling. They have similar structures. 【设计意图：从讨论图片入手，引导学生自己提出问题并试图通过阅读和合理的想象推理回答问题，从而体会细节的重要性；找出每段的中心句，引导学生总结出文章大体的段落结构；分段比较阅读，帮助学生赏析示范文章布局的严密，层层深入，为下一环节的写作提供素材和范例。】 Step 3 Writing practice 1.
