Learning about Language（2）

Teaching Goal: To learn about the restrictive and non-restrictive attributive clause Teaching Procedures: Step 1. Warming Up Show some pictures to arouse Ss’ interest.(PPT)

T: Boys and girls, finish the sentences and pay attention to the differences between them.

1

P1: The girl _________is giving a lecture is Sang Ziyi from our class.

The girl is Sang Ziyi from our class, _____is giving a lecture. P2:The boy ______is in the picture is Wang Wei.

The boy is Wang Wei, ______is fond of drawing. P3: The four students ________ performed well won the prize in the English Contest.

The four students won the prize in the English Contest, _____ performed well. P4: The woman _____is holding an umbrella is our head teacher.

The woman is our head teacher, ____ is holding an umbrella. P5: The girl ______is running faster is our monitor.

The girl is our monitor , ____is running faster. P6: The boy ___is throwing discus is named Bi Suhang.

The boy is named Bi Suhang ,_____ is throwing discus. Step 2. Discovering useful structures 1.Find all the sentences with attributive clauses in the reading text . ①This gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it. ②The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellowbrown colour like honey. ③However, the next King of Prussia, Frederick William Ⅰ，

to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. ④Later, Catherine Ⅱ had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. ⑤This was a time when the two countries were at war. ⑥There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Königsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea. 2. Compare them and notice the use of commas. What are the differences between them? Try to define non-restrictive attributive clause in your own words. 3. Get Ss to tell whether the following pairs of sentences mean the same thing. (1) My uncle, who lives in London, is very rich.

My uncle who lives in London is very rich. (2) The policies, which were unpopular, were rejected by the voters.

The policies which were unpopular were rejected by the voters. (3) My niece, whose husband is out of work, will inherit the house, which I have always

treasured.

My niece whose husband is out of work will inherit the house, which I have always treasured. Suggested answers:

The first sentence in each pair has a non-restrictive clause within two commas, and the second has a restrictive clause. A non-restrictive clause simply adds more information into the sentence and does not affect the meaning of the main clause: it is therefore bracketed off with commas(1a = an uncle who happens to live in London). Conversely, a restrictive clause defines its referent in the main clause more specifically and contributes significantly to the meaning of the sentence. Thus it is that particular uncle who lives in London who is referred to (1b). In 2a, all policies were unpopular and all were rejected, whereas in 2b only the policies that were unpopular were rejected. Note that in restrictive clauses the non-human relative pronoun is either 'that' or 'which', whereas for human referents the relative pronoun can be either 'who/m' or 'that' ( the man that/whom I will marry ...)
