　　Step 4:  Post-reading activities

　　1. Now I'd like you to hold a group discussion. Imagine what special effect you hope to have if you can see a popular film like "Harry Potter" in RealCine.1)Do you think watching a Harry Potter film in RealCine is more exciting and interesting than in an ordinary cinema? Why or why not?

　　Please make an advertisement poster for this imaginary virtual reality film. Then make an oral presentation of your advertisements in class. You can vote and choose the best one from all the ads. State your reasons for your choice.

　　Write an introduction to RealCine.  In the introduction, you may state your own opinions on RealCine.

　　Here's two opinions, what do you think of them? Let's hold a debate activity in two groups. Please State your reasons freely.

　　1) Those who support virtual reality believe that, with this technology, people can do almost everything, even things that cannot be realized in normal life. We don't need to travel any more or spend so much time with friends any more. Virtual reality can provide any necessary features that we need in our life.

　　2) Others insist that, real life and interpersonal communication should never be replaced by imaginary scenes. People should take off the headsets and experience the real life themselves.

　　2. Do Parts A1 and A2 on page 96 in your workbook.

　　3. Read the instructions for Part F and discuss with your partners the questions closely related to new technology. Share your opinions and report your answers to the class.

　　4. Read Part A first and then do Part B in the writing section of this unit on page 103 in your workbook.

　　●Word power

　　Word power deals with different expressions related to computers. By learning rules of word formations, such as adding suffixes to verbs, and adjectives to form abstract nouns, you'll increase your vocabulary more easily.

　　Brainstorming

　　1. Revise the common suffixes that are used to form adjectives learnt in Unit 1.

　　2. Compare the following two groups of words. You need to decide which part of speech each word is, and think about the similarities and differences between the two groups.

　　Group1: house, milk, driver; game

　　Group2: revision, preparation, decision, difference, information,

　　All the words are nouns, but words in Group1 refer to physical things and those in Group2 refer to ideas, actions, and qualities. The nouns in Group2 are called abstract nouns, and we always use them to say something we cannot see or touch directly.

　　For reference (http://www.usingenglish.com/glossary/abstract-noun.html)

　　A concrete noun refers to objects and substances, including people and animals that exist physically. They can be either an uncountable noun or a countable noun.

　　eg: Clocks and watches exist physically and are Concrete Nouns. Time is a concept that has no physical existence; it is not a Concrete Noun but an Abstract Noun.
