2. Definition Match(单词词义匹配练习).
The scene opens in a grungy old bar in Nepal. The drunken crowd waited breathlessly for a large man to SWALLOW a shot glass full of a clear liquid. When he lowered his glass, his supporters began to boast about the strength of their hero. The attention then turned to a woman who was the TOUGH man's challenger and the noise lowered to a faint buzz. She drank the dangerous substance and closed her eyes briefly because the room seemed to spin. A nearby female witness expressed worry about the woman's condition and the crowd began to exchange bets of money. Suddenly the woman opened her eyes, spoke sharply to the crowd and firmly slammed her glass down on the table. The crowd of gamblers was RELIEVED to know that she was still willing to continue. When the man passed out under the table the disgusting game was over.

三、观看后的讨论和诵读
学生看完完成了一些词汇练习之后，笔者就创设情境让学生表达他们的观后感，鼓励他们畅谈所看影片留在自己脑海里的影音形象，建议他们记下看完电影之后自己的第一反应，比如故事的结局是令自己吃惊，高兴还是沮丧等，或让他们就电影或其中的某一特定角色进行评论 ，启发引导他们讨论回答那些打印在作业纸上和影片的主题有关的具体问题，例如，放完电影《狮子王》(The Lion King)后笔者就要求学生分组讨论了下面几个问题：
（科教论文网 lw.nSeAc.com编辑发布） a. Do you think Mufasa’sexplanation of “the circle of life” is reasonable?
b. Why do you think Scar mentions the elephant graveyard to Simba?
c. Why doesn’t Simba kill Scar in revenge?
笔者还和学生复习影片中出现的一些难懂的词汇，再次给学生一个内化电影剧情的机会。其实，看后讨论是学生巩固电影内容和其中词汇的极好机会。讨论结束后，笔者还要求学生学习诵读影片中的经典句子，使他们在看电影学到词汇句子等语言知识的同时，还明白了所看影片所蕴含的寓意或一些人生哲理。以下是选自电影《狮子王》的几个经典句：
a. Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance.
b. I laugh in the face of danger.
c. You can’t change the past.
d. Yes, the past can hurt. But I think you can either run from it or learn from it.
e. This is my kingdom. If I don’t fight for it, who will?
