教学过程和方法

Step 1 Greeting and Revision Check the Ss’ homework. Let some Ss tell their answers orally and the whole class corrects them if necessary. As for Ex 3 on page 56, the teacher can ask the students to translate them one by one orally. If any of them has any mistakes, the teacher can write down their sentences on the blackboard and ask other students to correct them. T: Hello, boys and girls. S: Hello, sir / madam. T: Isn’t it a fine day, is it? Have you finished your homework? Would you please tell me your answers? Ss: Yes. Check the answers together. Step 2 Learning about language T: Well done! After we read the passage and did the exercise we have learned about the usage of some words and expressions. But to master them more exactly, we should do more practice. Now look at Ex.1 in Part 1 on P 20. You are asked to complete the sentences by finding the correct words and expressions in the reading passage. Please start. Of course you can discuss with your partners. Ss are given two minutes to do it. T: Finished? Will you please tell us your answers?(答案依人教社教参为准) S1: My answers are: 1 persuade 2 determined

3 is fond of 4 care about

5 prefer 6 organized 7 fares… gave in 8 cycle T: Good. We have also learned some new words and expressions. Now let’s do the Ex 2 together. Suggested answers: 1 give in

2 liked…better

3 determined

4 item

5 voyage

6 journal

7 shortcoming

8 make up his mind T: Well done! In the passage we have also learned some geographical terms. Here is a passage on the screen. Can you complete it with some of the following words?

Ask one student to do it and the other students watch. If there is any mistake, Teacher can ask Ss to correct it together Answers:

glacier, valley, waterfall, rapids, plain, delta.

T: Good. You have mastered these words and expressions. Let’s turn to

another subject “Discovering useful structures”. In fact, that’s the present continuous tense for future use. Do you remember we have mentioned it in the Warming up? Let’s do more practice to see if we can use it freely. Look at Ex.1. Please find out similar sentences from the reading passage. Underline the verbs in the sentences, pay attention to the verb forms and do some explanations yourselves. Show the sentences on the screen: Where are we going? When we are leaving and when are we coming back? S: We can see that the verbs are all used in the “-ing” form. They express future actions or plans. T: Quite right. Here is another dialogue on page 21. In the dialogue a newspaper reporter is interviewing Wang Wei about her plans for the trip along the Mekong River. However, they are not sure about some of the verb tenses. Can you help them complete their conversation? Give the Ss two minutes to do it. Then ask a pair of Ss to act out this dialogue. Sr: Miss Wang, I hear that you are going to travel along the Mekong River. That’s really exciting. Have you got everything ready? Sw: Almost.

Sr: When are you leaving? Sw: Next Monday. Sr: How far are you cycling each day? Sw It’s hard to say. If the weather is fine, I think we’ll be able to ride 75 km a day.

Sr: What about the weather in Qinghai Province? Sw: The weather forecast is not good so we will /are going to take a large parcel of warm clothes with us. Sr: Where are you staying at night? Sw: Usually in our tent, but sometimes in the villages along the river bank. Sr: What happens if you have an accident? Sw: Don’t worry. I had some medical training at my college. Besides, we are taking/will take/have taken out insurance to cover any problems.

Sr: Well, it sounds fun. I hope you’ll have a pleasant journey. Thank you for your time. (Sr: Do you think you are coming back here soon? Sw: Oh, we aren’t coming back to this place. We are going home. That’ll be a month later. Sr: Thank you for your time, Miss Wang. Good luck on your journey! Sw: Thank you.) T: Wonderful! You have grasped how to express a plan using the present continuous tense. Do you have any plans for the future yourselves? If any, please use the present continuous tense to express your future actions. You can give as much information as you can. Please go ahead. Three minutes later T: What’s your plan?

S4: I am going to the zoo tomorrow morning. In the evening I am watching TV. S5: I am traveling along the Huanghe River next month. I’m staying in my tent for the night. I’m writing a travel journal about the trip. T: Well. Please turn to P 57. Look at exercise one of Using Structures in workbook. Let’s have a competition. Whoever fulfils the exercise first will be the winner. Of

course your answers must be correct. See who is the first to finish it correctly, and praise him or her. Teacher can ask three or four students to tell their answers. Then Teacher decides who the winner is. T: Great! All of them are right. But Li Pin is the first to finish. So the winner is Li Pin. Congratulations! By the way, we can also use “ be going to” to express future plans. For example, I’ll go nowhere. I am going to stay home this afternoon. Got it? Step 3 Summing up T: Today we have mastered the usage of some words and some geographical terms. We have also grasped the usage of the present continuous tense for future use. But please pay attention. Not all verbs can be used in the “-ing” form to express future actions. Such verbs as come, go, leave, fly, stay, meet, die , see etc. are mainly used in the “-ing” form to express plans. After class you must remember the words we have learned and practice more about the present continuous tense. Here is your homework. Do Ex 1 and 2 in the Using structures on page 57 -- page 58. You are asked to write your plan for a trip by discussing with your partners. O K. Class is over. You are dismissed.
