Step I Revision

T: In the last lesson, we study a passage about the different theme parks in the world. Let's try to complete the summary of the passage with the words from the text. Teacher shows the exercise on the screen. Summary: Parks provide people with a place to amuse themselves and to escape their busy life for a while. In recent decades, however, many parks have been designed to provide entertainment. We call them theme parks. The new parks are usually huge places and have a variety of things to see and do. Theme parks have a certain idea—a certain theme that the whole park is based on. For example, a sport theme park will offer visitor sports to play or watch; a history or culture theme park will let us see how our ancestors dressed, worked and lived. The oldest theme park in the world is Disneyland. It seemed like a place of fantasy. Besides these, we have the marine or ocean parks, the science theme parks and so on to let

us enjoy totally different experience from the real world. Step 2 Discovering useful words and expressions

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. 1. Compound nouns: fire-engine, green-house, earthquake, downfall, drop-in 2. Compound adjectives: snow-white, firsthand, red-hot 3. Compound verbs: sun-bathe, overcome, typewrite 4. 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.

1.

from nouns to verbs : house, conduct, digest etc 2.

from adjectives /adverbials to verbs : brave, wrong, etc 3.

from verbs to nouns: smoke, bathe etc Task 2: Grammar:

compounding: Find the compound nouns in the reading passage Compound word with a hyphen free-fall, old-fashioned, steam-engine Compound word put together whichever, whatever, wherever, southeastern, indoor, outdoor, craftsmen, horseback Compound words separated roller coaster

(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.

1. Adjectives: unable disloyal irregular 2. Verbs: dislike untie transplant 3. 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. Step 3. Practice Purpose: to get Ss to have the knowledge of the grammar through exercises. 1. Ask Ss to tell the part of speech of each word in italics in the following: (1) Winter has past and spring has come. (2) She is a woman far past her youth (3) I’m tired of your ifs and buts (4) She is still but a child. (5) I can’t see where I was wrong. (6) Two wrongs don’t make a right.

(7) He closed his speech with a funny way. (8) Stay close together. Suggested answers: (1) v (2) prep (3) n (4) adv (5) adj (6) n (7) v (8) adj

2. Ask Ss to Join two simple words to make a compound word with the rules we learned. If necessary, tell the students to consult the dictionary. Examples: book +worm→bookworm
