Task 3 Language Points T:

By now, we have mastered the main idea and the details. Do you have some difficulties in the language? S1: Yes. What does this sentence mean :“Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity if the day”?

2

T:

Who’d like to help her? S2:

The subject of the sentence is a “V-ing form”，

and the Predicate is“is”

not “wake up”. So the meaning of the sentence is : 今天我们的第一件事是观察一个猩猩家庭的早起。

T: That’s right. Sometimes we should depend on the structure of the sentences to help us understand the meaning. S3：Miss Hu, the sentence：“This means going back to a place where we left the chimp family sleeping in a tree the night before.”is beyond me. T: This sentence is a little difficult. First, it includes an Attributive Clause. The clause is: where we left the chimp family sleeping in a tree the night before. Second, there are two structures in the sentence. One is “to mean doing”; the other is“leave……doing”. For the first one, we can refer to the Appendices in Page 76. Now let’s look at the second one. In fact, there are several same structures in this text. Please look at these sentences. Show the sentences on the screen: 1….where we left the chimp family sleeping in a tree the night before. 2….we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night. 3. But the evening makes it all worthwhile. 4…. Was she allowed to begin her project. 5…. Jane Goodall has been helping the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals. T: Now look at the boldface. Al the structures of the Predicates are Verb + Object + Object Complement. Let’s translate these sentences to taste the meaning and usage of

3

Object Complement. Ask some of the students to translate these sentences. Give them some explanations: When we use-ing form as Object Complement, it means this act is continuing. For example, Sentence 1. When we use –to do form as Object Complement, it means this process of the act has finished or to begin. We can take Sentence 2 and 4 for axample. When we use an objective as Object Complement, it means that it shows us a kind of state. We can take sentence 3 and 5 for example. If possible, teacher still can give them more examples about this structure. （1）I heard the teacher call my name. （2）I will let you know the result of the voting as soon as possible. （3）We watch the children diving into the water from the top diving board. （4）Let’s go, let him alone. S4: Miss Hu , I find this sentence a bit strange: Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project. T: Yeah, this sentence uses the structure of inversion. The sign is that only phrase is places at the beginning of the sentence. We will learn it later. Now it is Ok that you know the meaning of the sentence. Any questions? Ss:

No. StepⅢ. Homework
