How long have you learnt English?

2.

That is to say, you have leant English for several years. So I’m sure you must have some problems in learning English. Is that so? 3.

Don’t worry. I’ll help you to deal with one of them. Let’s see what it is? 4.

I’d like to help you enlarge your vocabulary by offering three useful tips. But first you have to finish a quiz and then make a summary. Now let’s begin. Step 2:

1. Look at these words, could you draw a conclusion after the exercises? (If we know the meaning of the word’s prefix or suffix, maybe we can guess the meaning of the word.) So we can learn the word by knowing about how the word forms.

2. Let’s take independence for example.

3. Let’s finish some exercises.

4. Let’s put what we have learnt into practice.

5. Game time now. Let’s play a game. Step3: 1.

Go through Part D on P39, and then complete the sentences on the big screen. 3.

What are the meanings of the underlined idioms, can you guess? 4.

Before this lesson, I asked you to collect some useful idioms. Now, could you use what you have collected and what you have learnt to make up a short passage or a dialogue, and present it to the whole class? I’d like to divide the whole class into four groups. You may have a group discussion and take notes. 5.

Nowadays, idioms often appear in the national college entrance examination, so let’s finish some related exercises. Let’s go over the answers. 6.

Last but not least, enjoy the following idioms.

Step5: Homework

教学后记：

1.

学生认真思考，积极参与课堂活动。

2.

外来词的讲解可结合学生以前学过的内容，将地域特征的词渗透到外来词的讲解中去。

3.

在每组学生presentation过后应该有及时的点评，且此时已达到高潮，最后部分可省去。

4.

在讲解词缀方面所花时间太多，而结尾的高考题的练习部分留给学生思考的时间太短，略显仓促，应该多留点时间给学生消化。
