Book 4 Unit 2

Period 4 LEARNING ABOUT LANGUAGE & WRITING 一、

LEARNING ABOUT LANGUAGE 部分学习本单元重点词汇和语法项目。词语学习部分采用给出词义而让学生从课文中找出与之匹配的词，然后用所找的词汇完成第二个练习中的短文，以及用课文中意义相近的词汇替换练习三句中划线部分。通过这三种练习帮助学生理解并能熟练应用课文中所学的词汇。语法部分通过从课文中找同义句引出动词的-ing 形式，教师此时可引导学生找出其他的句子，以启发学生理解-ing形式的句法功能。练习二通过模仿例句，用-ing形式做主语代替动词不定式改写句子。练习三要求学生连接短语造句，让学生学习-ing形式作宾语的用法，并列举后面接动词-ing形式作宾语的动词。练习四则训练学生v-ing形式在实际生活中的应用能力。练习五则设计了一个游戏以丰富学生的想象力。

二、如何描写人物

【单元写作呈现】

Yuan Longping is a successful man who has made contributions to the world. Do you know any famous persons? Choose one you admire and describe her\him.

●Make a list of her achievements. ●Describe her using the adjectives you know. ●Explain what other people think of her. 【写作分析】

此类作文是记叙文的一种，以人物为中心组织材料，围绕人物来写。本单元继续练习人物描写。本题属于描述性写作(descriptive writing)，题目对文章结构提出了具体的要求：第一部分简要进行人物介绍，包括人物基本信息及主要成就；第二部分进一步描述人物性格特点，说明此人值得尊敬/爱戴/学习的地方。文章结尾还应说明人们对该人物的印象或评价。写此类文章之前先列出文中要提到的人物的主要信息，以及备用的描述性词语。人物描写重在描述，描述时应准确生动、详略得当、层次分明、主体完整。

【审题要素】

写作时应注意以下几点：

1. 确定文体：以人物描写为主，可辅以叙述和评论。

2. 主体时态：文章以一般过去时或一般现在时为主。

3. 主体人称：第三人称。

4. 内容要点：①人物简介；②人物事迹；③人物成就；④人物评价及其他。

5. 可有选择性地对人物进行肖像描写、语言描写、动作描写、心理描写或神态描写等等。

【思路引导】

Plan your writing as follows. 1. Make a plan. Write down all the ideas you want to use in your description. Each idea will help to make a paragraph. Then separate them so that you can list the interesting words that will help you write the description.

2. The first sentence should give an introduction of this woman to the readers. For example, Li Jun has been a doctor in my hometown for many years. Then write about what she looks like and what she often does.

3. In the second part describe her character. For example, She is kind and considerate to ... Then explain what kind of things she does to help people.

4. Write more paragraphs if necessary. 5. Finally explain how other people view her, e.g. Li Jun is a person loved by all who know her. 【注意事项】

此类短文虽属于描述性写作范畴，但写作内容涉及描写、叙述和议论等多个方面，对于中学生来说，在写此类英语短文时应注意以下两点：

1. 介绍人物基本信息。正如本题题目所要求，文章宜开门见山，对所描写的人物进行总体介绍。文中还应遵循一定的时间和逻辑顺序来介绍人物的主要事迹。尽管人物描写可以从外貌、心理、行动等多方面展开，但“以事写人”依然是中学生在此类短文写作中应遵循的基本思路。

2. 主题鲜明，重点突出。在人物描写（characterization）中，具体生动的描写能够“再现”人物的性格特点和思想感情，使得读者印象深刻，甚至如见其人。这就要求学生写作时精挑细选、合理编排，围绕主线选取人物的典型事迹和代表性

话语等等，在有限的篇幅内进行重点描写，实现效果的最大化。

Helen Keller, one of the greatest women in the 20th century, was born in America in June, 1880. When she was nineteen months old, she became blind and deaf because of a serious illness. From then on she lived in darkness and silence. When she was seven, her parents found a teacher, Miss Sullivan, for her.

With Helen’s strong will and intelligence, combined with her teacher’s skill and patience, they succeeded. Helen Keller graduated from a college and got a degree. Later on she devoted all herself to helping the blind and deaf children. Because of this, her spirits will never stop influencing me, pushing me to work hard to

achieve my goal.
