Section A解析及拓展

 

    （一）创设情景，导入新课[Create plots and scenes to guide the new lesson]

    This main content is to learn to talk about customs in different countries and what people are supposed to do in different situations. So we can adopt the Situational Guiding Approach: First, the teacher supposes that two of the students meet each other for the first time, and introduces them to each other. Let them greet each other. Then ask the whole class the following questions: What should you say to meet somebody for the first time? What are you supposed to do when you meet someone for the first time? Let the students communicate with each other to get the answers. The answers are that people should say “Nice to meet you ”and “How do you do ”for the first time, and they are supposed to shake hands. Then get the students to make conversations with partners as if they met each other for the first time. At last, get the students to make conversations with partners as if they met each other for the first time. At last, get the students to finish the teaching task of part 1a.

    要点直击[English notes]

    1．You’re supposed to shake hands.你应该握手。

    【注意】①be supposed to...应该，被期望（做）……suppose动词，意为“认为，猜想”。be supposed to= should be expected to意为“应该，被期望（做）……”。后必须接动词原形。

    ②shake hands握手。英语中，有很多固定短语中的名词必须用复数。除shake hands外，还有make friends交朋友，change seats换座位等。

    【应用】①You are not supposed to do that.你不应该那样做。

    ②He is supposed to arrive on the five o’ clock train.

    他理应乘五点的火车到。

    ③We are supposed to read English every morning.

    我们应该每天早上读英语。

    ④Chinese often shake hands when they meet for the first time.

    中国人初次见面经常握手。

    2．I was supposed to arrive at 7:00, but I arrived at 8:00.

    我应该七点到达，但是我八点才到。

    【注意】arrive到达、抵达

    【点拨】arrive, get, reach三个词都有“到达”的意思，但用法有所不同。arrive是不及物动词，构成短语arrive at+小地点，arrive in+大地点。get也是不及物动词，构成短语get to+地点名词。reach是及物动词，后直接跟地点名词作宾语。当arrive, get, reach后接地点副词时，都不要介词，如arrive/get/reach here到达这里。

    【应用】①They arrived at the small village at noon.

    他们中午到达那座小村庄。

    ②Jim and his family have already arrived in Beijing.

    吉姆和他家人已经到达了北京。

    ③When will we get to/arrive at/reach the farm.

    我们什么时候到达那个农场？

    3．Where I’ m from, we’re pretty relaxed about time.

    在我的国家，我们对时间要求非常宽松。

    【注意】①Where I’m from在我来的地方，是地点状语从句。

    ②be relaxed about sth/sb对……要求宽松。

    【点拨】①地点状语从句，指用一个句子作主语的地点状语，常由连词where引导。

    ②relax动词，意为“使……放松，松弛”。名词是relaxation, be relaxed about sb/sth 意为“对……放松”。

    【应用】①I found my pen where I lost it.

    我在丢失钢笔的地方找到了它。

    ②He planted many trees where he lived.

    他在住的地方种了许多树。

    ③Soft music makes me relaxed.轻音乐让我放松。

    ④We’re pretty relaxed about money.

    4．Spending time with family and friends is very important to us.

    和家人朋友一起度过时光对我们来说非常重要。

    【注意】① spending time with family and friends 和家人朋友一起度过时光，是动词ing的形式作主语。

    ②spend度过，花费

    【点拨】①一般来说，动词不能直接作主语，而动词不定式和动词的ing形式可以作主语。

    ②spend, take, pay, cost四词都有“花费”之意，但用法有所不同。spend用于句型sb spends+时间/金钱+on sth/（in）doing sth，take用于句型It takes sb+时间/金钱+to do sth，pay用于句型sb pays+金钱+for sth/to buy sth，而cost用于句型sth costs sb+金钱。

    【应用】①Going hiking is a lot of fun.

    徒步旅行是件非常快乐的事。

    ②Reading in the sun is bad for eves.

    阳光底下看书对眼睛不好。

    ⑥This car costs 500,000 yuan.这辆汽车值50万元。

    5．We often just drop by our friends’ homes.我们经常到朋友家造访。

    【注意】drop by顺便访问，造访。

    【点拨】drop作名词，意为“滴、水滴”。drop作动词，有“滴下、落下、放弃”等意思。习惯短语有: drop asleep入睡；drop behind落后；drop by/in顺便访问，拜访。

    【应用】①Some rain drops dropped on my face when I was walking in the street.

    当我在街上走的时候，几点雨掉在我脸上。

    ②Don’t drop math, it is very important.

    不要放弃数学，它很重要。

    6．In Switzerland, it’s very important to be on time.

    ②It’s quite hard to change his mind.

    改变他的主意是很困难的。

    7．We’re the land of watches, after all!毕竟，我们是手表王国。

    【注意】①watch手表。②after all毕竟。

    【点拨】①watch作名词，“手表、钟表”，复数为watches; watch用作动词，意为“注视、观看”，watch TV看电视、watch a match看比赛。

    ②after all意为“毕竟、终究”。

    【应用】①My watch doesn’t work. I’ll have it mended.

   我的手表坏了，要请人修理。

    8．Also, we never visit a friend’s house without calling first.

    如果事先不通知，我们也从不到朋友家造访。

    【注意】①never否定副词，意为“从来不、绝不、从来没有”。常见否定副词还有seldom“很少”，hardly“几乎不，几乎没有”。当这些否定副词构成反意疑问句时，提问部分的谓语动词用肯定形式。

    ②without介词，意为not having, not carrying，“无，没有”的意思。介词后面的动词必须用ing形式。

    【应用】①They never speak English after class, do they?

    他们课后从来不说英语，是吗？

    ②Mr Liu seldom goes to work on foot, does he?.

    刘先生很少步行上班，是吗？

    ③He left the room without saying a word.

    他一句话也不说就离开了房间。

    （四）应用迁移，巩固提高[Application and transfer; consolidations and improvement.]

    1．Make a survey about what people are supposed to do in different countries when they meet for the first time. In different countries, people are supposed to do something different when they meet for the first time. For example, in China, you should shake hands. In Korea you are supposed to bow. Knowing these customs is very important and helpful for students to make friends with foreigners. The students should try their best to survey different countries as many as possible by searching the Internet and reading.

    2．Have a discussion about how to be a welcome guest at your friend house. Get the students to talk about the following questions: When are you supposed to arrive? What are you supposed to wear? What are you supposed to do when you meet your friend’s family? What are you supposed to do while having dinner? What should you do before leaving? Etc. This activity can not only help the students practice the target language, but also help them to be a welcome guest.
