Step III Reading and Understanding

T: Very good. Now, let’s look at the Passage “A Second Life for Factory 798”.

Who can tell us the meaning of the title?

S: Let me have a try. It means “798 工廠的第二次生命”.

T: What do you think the passage is about?

S: I think the passage is about a factory. Maybe it closed once but people used it

again.

T: OK. Please sit down. Read the passage quickly to find out what has happened

to Factory 798. (After a few minutes.) Have you found out the answer?

Ss: Yes.

T: Who would like to tell us your answer?

S: I'll try. The Factory 798 had been an important army factory. Later the factory moved away and the factory buildings were no longer used. Most of the workshops in it stood empty until very recently. The workshops are now used for different purposes. So we can say Factory 798 has got its second life.

T: Very good. Thank you. Please sit down. Now, please read the passage carefully again and tell us something else about Factory 798. (A moment later.)Li Hong, please try.

S: It was designed by East German architects and built with Russian aid in the

early 1950s.…

T: Good. We know that the factory is now used again by different people for various purposes. Who can tell us what are the workshops in the factory used as now?

S: They are used as some studios, some shops, some restaurants, one tea house and one dance club.

T: Quite good. From the passage we know that new uses are given to old buildings. It's a great way to save the architecture from the past.

T: In this period, we've read a passage which tells us that we can make use of

an old factory. Now, let's play a game. First, make a detailed drawing of the floor plan of a big building, such as an old factory, or a school. If you don't know any, you can draw the floor plan of our school. Or, if you like, you can draw the floor plan of your own imagined building. You can work in groups of four. (Allow the students a moment to finish the task.)Have you finished?

Ss: Yes.

T: Now, number and describe the size, height and special features of each hall

and part of the building.

different artists: which are best for painters; pop bands, a bookshop and so

on. Also discuss how to decorate the rooms for different users and how much money will be needed. Try to think about cheap ways of doing things.
