Step I Revision and Lead-in

Ask the students to read the story “The Cat That Vanished”

again and find out the sentences with -ing. T: First read the passage “The Cat That Vanished”

to find out sentences with -ing. Then ask the students to read aloud the sentences.

Step Ⅱ

Grammar Task 1: Grammar focus

T: From the sentences above, we can see that there is a comma in each sentence. And the two parts of each sentence refer to the same person. Now let’s find something more about -ing in the sentences. First, which sentences describe two things that happen at the same time? And which sentences describe one thing happening imme-diately after another?

Sa: Two things that happen at the same time: Sentences 1, 3, 4, 7. Sb: One thing happening immediately after another: Sentences 2, 5, 6.

Then ask the students to do Activity 2 on page 73 and then check the answers.

T: After the above exercises, we can conclude that -ing can sometimes be used to describe two things that happen at the same time, and sometimes describe one thing happening immediately after another. The two parts of each sentence refer to the same 1

person. Besides, we can also put prepositions / conjunctions before -ing to form a phrase, such as while，when, once, although, until, if etc. And the phrase can be changed into an adverbial clause. For example, On seeing her, the king falls in love with her. can also be changed into: When the king sees her, he immediately falls in love with her.

T: The adverbial clauses with -ing can be used to indicate time, cause, condition, result, etc. These sentences can be changed into subordinate clauses or juxtapositional sentences. Now let’s do the following exercises.

Show the following.
