Step Ⅰ

Revision For the homework, check whether they can read the decimals correctly by following the examples. If they have any problems about this part, help them. For Exercise 15, ask some students to read out their descriptions. Meanwhile, pay attention to whether they have used the function words and expressions in the table. [来源:Zxxk.Com]

1. Two heads are better than one. 2. More haste, less speed. 3. East, west, home is best. 4. The best mirror is an old friend. 5. Least talk, most work. Students give their answers. And teacher corrects some mistakes if there are any. Sample translations: 1.(谚) 两人智慧胜一人。

2.(谚) 欲速则不达。

3.东跑西跑还是家里最好。

4.(谚)老友是宝镜。

5.少说话，多干事。

T: From these sentences, we know that Degrees of Comparison are used widely in English. Today, we’ll learn some of them.

Step Ⅲ

Degrees of comparison 1 (P43)

In this step, the students will finish Activity 1 and Activity 2 on page 43. Task 1: Activity 1 Let the students give some sentences that they have learned with the comparative degree in. And then turn to page 43 and read the first two sentences in Activity 1. Ask them to tell the difference between these sentences. T: Can you give me some sentences with the comparative degree in them? S1: The earth is larger than the moon.

S2: Tom is fatter than Mike. S3: She is more beautiful than her sister. T: Right. What’s the difference between these sentences and the one on the blackboard? Write the sentence on the blackboard:

The earth is forty-nine times larger than the moon.

T: OK. Besides this structure, we can use another structure to express the same meaning. That is: A is ... times as large (big, tall, long etc.) as B. Write down the structure on the blackboard. T: Well, let’s go on to do some maths problems.

Task 2: Activity 2 Read the instruction of Activity 2, and let the students read the sentences in Example. After that, ask them to finish the following 5 problems. T: The purpose of the task is not to check your intelligence, because I believe that all of you have high IQ. It’s about the uses of the two structures we’ve just learnt. Now, finish the task and then check your answers with your partners. Remember you must use both of the structures to practice what we’ve just learned.

After a while, ask four students to read out their answers in complete sentences. S1: I think winter in Harbin is four times colder than Beijing. Or, winter in Harbin is four times as cold as Beijing. T: The structure is right, but there are mistakes in the two sentences. Who can correct the mistakes and read out a complete sentence? S2: It should be “Winter in Harbin is four times colder than that in Beijing.”

T: Right. When we are using the comparative degree，we must pay attention to the two comparison objects. Now who would like to do the third one? S3: Miss Wu, can we say that “in winter the temperature of Harbin is four times lower than in Beijing”?

T: That’s a good sentence, but also you should pay attention to the two comparison objects. We should say that 揑n winter the temperature of Harbin is four times lower than that of Beijing.??

Write down the two sentences on the blackboard, so that the students can clearly know the agreement in two comparison objects. T: Are you clear? OK, how about the third problem? S4: I think Mount Qumolangma is about six times higher than Mount Tai. Or, Mount Qumolangma is about six times as high as Mount Tai. S5: My aunt’s house is twice as large as my house. Or, my aunt’s house is twice larger than my house. S6: Tom weighs over twice as heavy as Lily. Or, Tom is over twice heavier than Lily.

Step Ⅳ Degrees of comparison 2 (P47)

Task 1: Activity 1 T: Now, please finish the sentences on the screen, using proper words and the structure. Show the sentences on the screen. bright dark

heavy

weak

fat 1. When the sun rises, it is getting _______. 2. When the sun sets, it’s getting _______.

3. When the rush hour comes, the traffic is getting _______. 4. After suffering a long disease, he is getting _______. 5. She likes to eat sweet, and these days she is getting _______. Read out the first part of each sentence, and let the students read and finish the second part of the sentence. Sample answers: 1. brighter and brighter 2. darker and darker

3. heavier and heavier 5. fatter and fatter

T: Now, we are going to learn another structure. Suppose you save a millionaire’s life, and he offers you money to thank you, and asks you: 揌ow much do you want??And suppose you are a greedy person. What will you say?y? S1: The more, the better. T: Yeah, you are so clever. It’s a real bargain. But if he also wants you to share his pains, and asks you 揌ow much do you want?? what will you say?y? S2: The less, the better. T: Ha! You’re clever. But there can’t be such an easy thing in the world. No pains, no gains. If you gain what you shouldn’t gain, that would be a disaster. Now, please look at the three sentences on the screen: 1. It’s getting brighter and brighter!

2. The close you are, the more you’ll see.

3. The more books I read, the more information I learn. T: Do you know the meanings of these sentences? Ss: Yes. T: OK, now, please answer my questions. Question 1: Which of these structures is 4. weaker and weaker

used to say that something is changing? S3: All of the structures are used to say that something is changing. T: Question 2: Which of these structures is used to say that things change / are changing together? S4: The second and the third ones are used to say that things change / are changing together. T: Question 3: Which structure repeats the same adjective? S5: The first one repeats the same adjective. T: Good. Now, let’s practice the structure. Please look at Activity 2 on page 47. Use the words below to write sentences as in the example. Who would like to finish Sentence 1? S6: The hot metal gets bigger and bigger. S7: Miss Wu, can we say that “The hot metal is getting bigger and bigger.”?

T: I think you can do it. They have the same meaning. Now, let’s finish the next three sentences. Can you three finish the sentences one by one? S: ... By now the students have learned 4 structures about degrees of comparison, including: 1. The earth is forty-nine times as large as the moon. 2. The earth is forty-nine times larger than the moon. 3. It’s getting brighter and brighter.

4. The closer you are, the more you’ll see.

Show the sentences on the screen to let the students have a revision. T: Now, please look at the screen. By now, we’ve learned four useful structures about degrees of comparison. Please turn to page 91. Let’s practice these structures. I will give you 3 minutes or so to finish Exercises 1 and 2.

Three minutes later. Check the answers with the whole class. T: I’m very glad that you’ve mastered the structures. Now please turn to page 47. Look at Activity 3. Read these sentences and underline the comparative expressions and circle the adverbs used to give more information about the comparative expressions. Collect their answers. T: Next, let’s turn to page 48. Read the instruction of Activity 4 and then do as it asks you to. You can compare everything you know. Sample answers:

1. Playing computer games is much more dangerous for young students than playing other games. 2. Tom is a bit taller than Bob. 3. The climate in Guangzhou is rather hotter.4. I don’t know any more than you.

5. His French is no better than Mr. Pastier’s English.

6. This kind of maths problem is a little more difficult than others. Step V Homework T: In this period, we learned Degrees of Comparison. After class you should finish Exercises 3 and 4 on page 92 to make a revision of them. OK, class is over, see you next time.
