Look at the pictures. Most farm workers cant go home often.They work as drivers, builders, or babysitters and so on. Maybe One reason is that their hometown is too far, another reason is that they dont have enough time and money. Some of them havent been back for many years.
Why do they search for work in the cities? Why don’t they work in their homrtown?.
Step4.Lets watch the vedio.(留守儿童,破房子,食物,贫困的视频) Because their hometown is very poor. They live in broken houses,their children are studying in  old schools with few teachers. They dont have good hospitals, and good roads. They dont have enough money for food and clothes. So they have to leave the hometown to make money in big cities. What about now? Are their hometown still very poor?
  Now things are getting better and great changes have appeared, including Zhong Weis hometown. (板书)

2.Zhong Weis hometown will also have some changes. They are going to build a new school.
(图片,新学校,新路,新医院)Look at the new countryside. Are you happy to see the changes?  Yes or no?
Although there are many changes, some things will never change. Do you know what they are?
Step6.Read paragraph4,and find :
What will never change?(symbols or memories) .
From the passage ,we know a tree may be a symbol of their hometown, and it can remind everyones special feeling for their hometown.( special板书)

Everyone has a special feeling for their hometown. Some of them have to leave their hometown to   search for  work in the cities. They cant  return hometown often,although they miss it.
  These years many changes have appeared in their hometowns, such as large hospitals, new roads, new schools and  new teachers from the cities. Things get better  .
