XI. Language points

1. I’m sorry. I’m not available.

此句中的available表示“有空；不忙；有时间交谈，聊天”，其后还可用to do 引出具体的事情。例如：

Are you available tomorrow morning? 明天早上你有空吗？

I’m afraid I’m not available to help with the school show on the 19th.

我怕是没空来帮着准备学校19号演出了。

2. I have an exam on Monday so I must prepare for it.

prepare作动词，意为“使做好准备；把……准备好”，常用短语有prepare for sth. 和prepare to do sth.，前者意为“为某事做准备”，后者意为“准备做某事”。如：

We are working hard to prepare for the meeting.

I prepare to write something about my trip.

【链接】prepare的名词形式preparation，短语make preparations for sth. 意为“为某事做准备”，与短语prepare for sth. 同义。如：

They’re making preparations for the test. = They’re preparing for the test.

【运用】完成句子，每空词数不限。

(1) 他们一周前开始为这次旅行做准备。

They began to ______________________________ this trip a week ago.

prepare for / make preparations for (2) 你准备给凯特写信吗？

Do you _______________ to Kate?

prepare to write 3. Sam isn’t leaving until next Wednesday.

在英语中, not … until …是一个常见句型, 表示“直到……才……”。在口语中, 还

可使用till代替until, 构成not …

until…结构。

e.g. Don’t leave today’s work till tomorrow.

不要把今天的事留到明天去做。

I didn’t go to bed last night until past midnight.

昨晚我过了午夜12点才睡。

【运用】将下列句子翻译成英语。

(1) 直到下周六她才能完成工作。

_____________________________________ (2) 直到雨停了我们才可以出去。

_____________________________________ She won’t finish the work until next Saturday.

We can’t go out until the rain stops. 4. Can you hang out with us on Monday night?

on Monday night意为“在周一的晚上”。当表示在具体的某天或某天的上午、下午或晚上时，应用介词on。如：

Helen’s grandpa died on July 2nd, 2013.

Let’s go to the park on Sunday morning.

on ... morning / afternoon / evening也可表示为on the morning / afternoon / evening of ...；当morning / afternoon / evening之后不接明确的日期时，用介词in，如in the morning / afternoon / evening。

【运用】单项选择。

1. A terrible earthquake happened in Nepal ________ April 25th, 2015. (2015重

庆) A. on B. in C. at D. from

2. Linda left for Beijing ________ Thursday night.

A. at B. in

C. on D. of A, C 5. Catch you on Monday!

礼拜一见！

这是英语中道别的又一种说法，相当于See you on Monday! 类似的说法还有: Catch / See you later! (回头见！)

2. 学生们完成填空试题后，可以打开课本检查答案，对错误的句子，单独进行强化记忆。

Ⅲ. Grammar



Revision 七年级下册我们已经学过情态动词can表示能力。

can用于表示“能，会”

e.g. Tom can ride a horse.

汤姆会骑马。



Discovering 通过观察和完成Grammar Focus部分的句子，我们可以发现can在本单元表示请求和可能性。

can表示请求时，可用来发出邀请，这时答语比较灵活。如果接受邀请，答语可用__________________ / _______________等；如果拒绝邀请，答语可用Sorry, I must / have to ... / I’m afraid not. / Sorry, I can’t. / I’m not available等。如：

Sure, it sounds great.Sure, I’d love to.

—Can you come to my birthday party on

Monday, Bill? —Sure, I’d love to. / Sorry, I’m afraid not.

I have to go to the doctor.

can还可表示一种“可能性”，可用来询问打听第三方能否参加某项活动。如课本中的句子Can he go to the party?，这类问句的肯定答语为Yes, he / she / they can.；否定答语为No, he / she / they can’t. 或No, he / she is / they are not available.等。如：

—Can Alice go to the movies with us tonight? —Yes, she can. / No, she’s not available.

She has to look after her sister.



Summary Today we have learnt how to say “yes” or “no” to someone’s invitation and give a reason.

1) Can you…? 常用于发出邀请。

2) Sure, I’d love to. 这是对邀请的肯定回答，表示接受邀请。Sure用于口语，

表示接受邀请，相当于Certainly, yes。

3) Sorry, I can’t是对邀请的否定回答。

IV. Practice

Work on 3a:

Tell Ss to read the conversation in 3a and try to complete the answers with might and

one of the phrases in the box.

Work on 3b:

1. 告诉学生们本题的要求：根据括号中所给的提示词来补全问句，并做出恰当地答复。

2. 让学生们重点看答复提示中所要求是“接受”的还是“拒绝”的，并做答复。如果是拒绝，还应根据括号中的提示词给出一个恰当的理由。

3. 让学生们互相检查自己所写的小对话，发现并改正错误。

4. 让部分学生与自己的伙伴说一说自己所写的小对话。大家一起改正句子中的错误。

5. Explanations 1) invite

v.

邀请

◆invite sb. to sth.意为“邀请某人加……；邀请某人到……”。如：

I’m going to invite my friends to my party this Sunday. ◆invite sb. to do sth. 意为“邀请某人做某事”。如：

The young man invited me to sing just now. 【链接】invite的名词形式是invitation。

与invitation相关的短语有：

make an invitation 发出邀请

accept an invitation 接受邀请

turn down / refuse an invitation 拒绝邀请

2) refuse v.

拒绝

请观察下面的例句，思考它的用法，然后补全结论部分所缺的内容。

【例句】

1) I don’t know if Lily will refuse.

2) The strange man always refuses others’ advice.

3) Why didn’t you refuse her?

4) John’s father refused to stop drinking.

5) Tina can’t refuse him anything.

【结论】

观察例句1可知，refuse可用作不及物动词。

观察例句2—5可知，refuse还可用作及物动词。refuse后面的宾语可以是名词(如

例句2)、代词(如例句3)或_____________ (如例句4)，也可跟双宾语(如例句5)。

动词不定式

3) accept v.

接受

e.g. They didn’t accept his money.

他们没有接受他的钱。

accept和receive accept和receive都用作动词，意思相近，但用法有所区别。accept意为“接受”，强调主观接受。receive意为“收到；接到”，强调客观收到，但并不意味着同意接受。如：

Ann didn’t accept her friend’s present yesterday.

I received a letter from my aunt from Canada. V. Group work

3. Let’s have a surprise party for her next Friday the 28th!

surprise party是西方国家常见的一种聚会形式，是一种旨在给人带来惊喜的聚会。聚会往往围绕一个或若干主题人物而举办，聚会的举办者事先会对主题人物保密，待其来到聚会现场之后才意外发现大家在为自己举行派对，因而会十分惊讶和感激。还有一种surprise party并没有所谓的主题人物，而是旨在娱乐，参与者在聚会当中不断遭遇各种意外惊喜，欢乐不止。因此，surprise party可译作“惊喜聚会；意外派对”。

4. I look forward to hearing from you all. look forward to是一个固定的结构，表示“期待；期盼”，其中to是介词，因此后面若使用动词，要使用其-ing形式。又如：

I look forward to your reply. 我期待你的答复。

I’m really looking forward to seeing my little grandson again.

我好期待再次见到我的小孙子。

【运用】根据汉语意思完成英语句子，每空一词。

她曾经一直期望成为一名科学家。

She was ______ _______ __ ______ a scientist. looking forward to being 5. Hope you can make it!

从句中的make it是一个独立的表达方式，表示通过努力或经历困难后取得成功，完成某事，可译作“成功；胜利”，但有时也要视语境及上下文灵活选用合理的词语进行翻译，此处便是如此。又如：

If we run, we should make it. 要是我们跑得话，应该不会迟到。

Though it was difficult, they still made it. 虽然很难，但他们依然成功了。

首先，阅读短文，整体把握短文大意。

最后，再通读一遍短文，结合短文内容检查答案有无错误或不周全的地方。

3. Ss try to read the article and try to fill in the blanks.

4. Check the answers with the Ss.

5. Find out the important information of the invitation. Time: Place: Activities:

Explanation Please reply in writing to this invitation by Friday, December 20th.

1) reply in writing表示“以书面的形式进行回复”。其中reply 相当于answer, 但要比后者更加书面化且正式许多。此处介词in表示方式，相当于汉语“用……方式（形式）”的意思。

2) reply用作动词时，不直接跟宾语，须由介词to引入宾语的内容，构成reply to…结构。例如：

Did you reply to these letters?

3) 在此句中，介词by意为“截止至……; 到……为止”。介词before也有“……之前”的意思。但区别于before不包含其后的时间，而by则包括。试比较：

You should get your homework ready by Friday. Remember: Friday is the last day!

你应当最迟于星期五把作业准备好。记住：周五是最后一天！
