高一学生刚接触高中英语学习，又是新课程改革的第一批学生，他们的年龄特点等等这些都决定了他们对新事物的好奇心和强烈的求知欲，对新事物的热情是学生学习的优势。但是学生在英语基础上的差异和初高中英语要求的不同，使得学生要有时间去适应并调整，这些是学生学习英语存在的客观条件，教师要给予必要的指导和关注，才能使学生顺利地度过这个过渡时期。

Step I Writing T: Good morning / afternoon, boys and girls! Ss: Good morning / afternoon, Mr. / Ms... T: Please look at the sentence on the slide from the text A Lively City. Pay attention to the way the words and and but are used. Show the sentence on the slide. You know, I’ve seen quite a lot of China, and I’ve visited some beautiful cities, but this is one of the most attractive places I’ve been to. T: Who can tell us the difference between and and but. S: I think “and” indicates some additional information is being given, while “but” indicates the following information is going to modify the previous statement in some way. T: Yes, you are quite right. Now that you have understood the meanings of the two words, please complete the paragraph with and or but. I will give you five minutes to finish it. You may discuss with each other.

Five minutes later, check the answers. Then ask some students to make sentences using and and but. T: Who’d like to make sentences using and or but.

S: My shoes are very beautiful and comfortable, but they are pretty expensive.

S: He’s a nice and clever boy, but he’s quite lazy. T: OK! You did a good job.

Step II Practice (P90, Workbook) Ask the students to work in pairs and make a list of the advantages and disadvantages of their neighbourhood, and then using and and but to link similar ideas and contrast ideas respectively to write a short passage about where they live. T: In this module, we have learnt about how to describe neighbourhood by reading and listening to some materials. Now please work in pairs and discuss with your partners about your neighbourhood. Then make a list of the advantages and disadvantages. A sample list: Where I live Advantages comfortable big house convenient transportation friendly people near a park Ask some students to read their lists. T: OK! Very

good. Then can you write a short passage describing your neighbourhood using and and but? I will give you fifteen minutes to finish it. Then I will ask some of you to read your passages. Fifteen minutes later. A sample version:

I live with my parents in a ten-storey building near the center of the city. And we

Disadvantages noisy fairly dirty far from the school have a comfortable and big house. Though everyone living in the building is busy, we visit our neighbours when we are free. I have to go to school by bus every day because our house is far from the school. Fortunately, here the transportation is very convenient. But because of a lot of cars and buses, the air here isn’t fresh and sometimes it’s fairly dirty. And there is much noisy. Every morning we can go to the park nearby to breathe some fresh air and do exercises. Step III Task

The purpose of this writing task is to enable the students to plan a presentation to give a brief report of their neighbourhood. T: In the last period, I asked you to contact your neighbourhood committee to do a social survey. Have you finished it? Ss: Yes. T: OK! Now I will give you fifteen minutes to write a short passage to give a brief report of your neighbourhood according to your notes. In the passage, you can tell us the recent changes in your neighbourhood and what the neighbourhood committee has done recently. Then I’ll ask some of you to read your passages to the class. Fifteen minutes later, ask some students to read their passages. A sample version:

In China, the neighbourhood committee plays a very important role in almost every residential community all over the country. Its job is to look after the neighbourhood and to solve problems for the community, such as the security of the area, taking care of elderly people etc.

Recently the neighbourhood committee of our community has held several meetings discussing how to solve a problem. What is the problem? The road we use every day was built many years ago and now it has become very old and shabby. It becomes more and more difficult for people or vehicles to travel, especially when it is raining. The committee made a decision to rebuild the road. After the meetings, the committee has decided to collect money from every family of the community to mend the road. When I visited the committee, the money needed has been collected. I believe a month later, we will see a brand new road. Step IV Homework 1. Summarize what you have learnt in this module. 2.
