Teaching Goals:

1. To get Ss to know how to use new words and phrases. 2. To help Ss to master some important words and expressions. 3. To get Ss to have the knowledge of this grammar point: the rule of compound words. Teaching Procedures:

Step 1.

Discovering useful words and expressions

Purpose: To consolidate the words and phrases in the text. 1.

Ask Ss to read the text again and finish Ex1 on P36. 2.

Ask Ss to finish Ex2,3 on P36 and check the answers in pairs.

Step 2. Discovering useful structures

1.

Get Ss to learn some rules of word forming. In English, according to the form of the words, we can form words in the following ways. (1) Compounding: Words are formed by linking two or more words to make one unit.

◆Compound nouns: fire-engine, green-house, earthquake, downfall, drop-in ◆Compound adjectives: snow-white, firsthand, red-hot ◆Compound verbs: sun-bathe, overcome, typewrite

◆Compound adverbials: sideways, sky-high, where about (2) Conversion: This is a way which is unnecessary to change a word but only to change its part of speech. ◆from nouns to verbs : house, conduct, digest etc ◆from adjectives /adverbials to verbs : brave, wrong, etc ◆from verbs to nouns: smoke, bathe etc (3) Affixation: Words with a prefix or suffix or both attached to a root is formed by affixation. Usually this way the word’s speech is not changed. ◆Adjectives: unable disloyal irregular ◆Verbs: dislike untie transplant ◆Nouns: nonconductor inability autobiography But if a suffix is used, the word’s speech is changed. For example: agreement, inventor, foolish, discovery, failure, sharpen

The following prefixes can change the speech of a word, such as en-, be-, em-, a- etc. For example: rich(adj.)→enrich (v.);

slave (n.)

→enslave(v.);

friend(n.) →befriend(v.); etc. 2. Ask Ss to finish Ex1, Ex2, Ex3 and Ex4 of Discovering useful structures on P37 to practice the rules.
