接着展示世界地图,让学生指出巴西的大体位置,教师简单介绍巴西。如:
Brazil is more like a continent than a country. It is the world’s fifth largest nation in physical size, exceeded only by Russia, China, the United States, and Canada. By far as the largest country in Latin America, Brazil is the world’s largest tropical country. Brazil has a famous national football team, which has won the World Cup championship for 5 times. That is the very team Pelé once played for.

给学生展示折线图,横轴为重要年份,顶点高度表示该事件在Pelé足球生涯中的重要程度,请学生根据故事在折线图顶点标注对应事件,通过折线的变化体会Pelé跌宕起伏的足球生涯。教师先介绍该折线图:Look at this line chart. The horizontal axis represents time of year, the vertical axis events. The value of each event is measured according to its impact to Pelé. Please look at this chart and fill in the events. 之后,教师提问:What do you know from this chart? 引导学生总结出:There are ups and downs in Pelé’s football career life.
