    小结[Summary]

    The content of this unit is to learn the usage of the Present Perfect Tense to talk about recent events. There are two main topics. In section A it is mainly talking about preparing for a vacation and in section B, it is mainly about bands.

    讨论交流[Discussion and intercourse]

    Make an activity of discussion and intercourse about students’ English learning. What do you think of English? How long have you learnt it? How many words have you remembered? What have you done to learn English well? Have you ever spoken to foreigners? Etc This activity may help students find many good ways to learn English and is a good chance to practice the target language in this unit.

    反思[Pondering]

    1．The Present Perfect Tense is the grammar focus of this unit. It is both the difficulty and the emphasis of this unit. And it is much more difficult for students to understand and grasp than any other tense. The students once learnt this tense in Grade Eight. So the teacher should consult “Unit 6‘How long have you been collecting shells?’” and “Unit 9‘Have you ever been to an amusement park?’” When he makes the teaching design for this unit. The teacher should help the students to induce and sum up the usage of the Present Perfect Tense. The teacher should also create many scenes for students to use the tense.

    2．There are two main topics in this unit. One is to talk about preparing for a vacation, and the other is to talk about one’s favorite band. Both of them interest students a lot. The teacher should know this point well. He may take lots of ways to encourage the students to take an active part in class activities.
