Step I Revision Greet the Ss and check the homework. Ask several Ss to read their translations of

the lyric. A sample translation: 夏日时光，生活安逸

鱼儿跳，棉花长

你的爸爸很富有，妈妈很漂亮

所以安静下来，别哭了宝贝

终有一天早上，你将起来高唱

你将展翅高飞

但在那个早晨到来之前，没有事情能伤害你

在爸爸妈妈的守候下

T: Very poetic translations. This song is written for little children. The effect of

music on brain development in young children has been gaining widespread

attention. It is a simple and practical way to use music to enhance the

development of young children’s minds.

Step II Explanation of grammar focus Show the following two sentences on the screen. Liu Fang has been playing the pipa for the last three hours. She’s been performing concerts every day since last month.

T: Look at the two sentences on the screen. Are they in present perfect tense? Ss: No, they aren’t. The present perfect tense

is “have / has + v-ed”. But this

sentence pattern is “have / has + been + v-ing”.

T: You are right. This pattern is what we are going to learn about today, the

present perfect progressive tense. In Chinese, it means “现在完成进行时”. This

pattern emphasizes that the action is continuing. So it is the emphatic form of the

present perfect tense. For each of these two sentences, we can divide it into two

parts. Take the first one for example. Liu Fang has played the pipa for the last

three hours. She is still playing the pipa now. Understand? Who likes to do the

same with the second sentence? S1: Let me try. She has performed concerts every day since last month. She is

still performing now. T: Very good. In the two sentences above, the people started doing the things in

the past and are still doing them. That’s what the present perfect progressive

tense is about. I am going to write some verbs on the Bb. Can you write down

their present perfect progressive tense? Write the words on the Bb. rain

play

live

learn

fly

see Sample answers:

has been raining; has / have been playing, has / have been living; has / have been

learning; has / have been flying; has / have been seeing T: Now please make some sentences using the pres-ent perfect progressive tense. S1: It has been raining for two days. S2: We have been seeing quite a lot of each other recently. S3: I have been living here for more than 10 years. T: Good sentences. Now please finish Exercises 3 and 4 in GRAMMAR.

After the Ss finish them, check the answers with the class. Step III Practice Get the Ss to do more practice on the present perfect progressive tense by doing

the exercises in the WORKBOOK. T: Now, scan the passage in READING AND VOCABULARY and find out the

sentences in present perfect progressive tense. S1: I got it. “I have been living in Canada since 1996.”

T: That’s right. So is Liu Fang still living in Canada now?

S1: Yes, she is. Step IV Homework Preview CULTURAL CORNER, The Grammy Awards — Are They Important?
