    要点直击[English notes]

    1．Water town is a great place for the family to take a vacation.

    水镇是全家人度假的好地方。

    【注意】本句的语言结构为“主+be a great place for sb to do sth”，意为“某地是某人从事某种活动的好地方”。

    【应用】①Hainan Island is a good place for people to go swimming.

    海南岛是人们游泳的好去处。

    2．They have organized games and the staff dress up as clowns.

    ②dress用作名词“女服、礼服”，复数为dresses。

    dress用作动词“穿衣服”宾语常是人。dress sb给……穿衣；dress up乔装打扮；dress up in...穿……来打扮；dress up as...打扮成……

    We’ll have a sports meeting next week, if it doesn’t rain.

    如果下周不下雨，我们将举行运动会。

    Don’t get off until the bus stops.直到车子停住才下车。

    ②Where the food is both delicious and cheap 是定语从句。修饰先行词market.

    【应用】用括号中所给动词的适当形式填空

    【应用】①Did you enjoy yourself at the party?你在聚会上玩得开心吗？

    ②We had lots of fun on the farm.我们在农场上很开心。

    ③His English is very poor ,so he has to take English lessons （参加英语培训班）in the evening.

    5．Parents will spend many happy hours walking through the History Museum.

    父母亲将在历史博物馆里度过数小时快乐的时间。

    【注意】spend动词“花费、度过”

    【点拨】spend, pay, take, cost四词都有“花费”之意。

    ①spend用于句型sb spends some time or money on sth/（in）doing sth某人花时间/金钱做某事。

    ②pay用于句型sb pays some money for sth/to buy sth某人花钱买某物。

    ③take用于句型It takes sb some time to do sth 某人花时间做某事。

    【点拨】if和whether引导宾语从句时，一般情况下都可以互换。但有两种情况，只能用whether不用if: 当从句是作介词的宾语时；当从句中含有or连接的选择成分时。

    【应用】①He is not sure whether it’s fast train or not.

    他不能肯定它是否是一趟快车。

    ②We are talking about whether we’ll go for a holiday.

    我们正在讨论是否去度假。

    讨论交流[Discussion and intercourse]

    Where do you usually go to hang out? Why? What do you think of the place? The teacher can organize the whole class to have a discussion on the questions above. The activity can help the students to improve their oral English and to review and consolidate the target language in this unit.

    应用[Application]

    Organize an experience and intercourse meeting. Get the students to talk about a place which they have ever been to and are very interested in class. They must speak details as many as they can. Get the students to write a guide to the place they have talked about after class. This activity can help open students’ eyes and improve their writing ability.

    反思[Pondering]

    1．The grammar item of this unit is indirect questions. It is connected with the Object Clause. The students should grasp the structure of the Object Clause and the usage of the Modal Verbs can/could to express requests. So the teacher can make a proper conclusion and classification for the grammatical rules in this section to help the students remember the usage of the grammar item. The teacher should offer the students enough materials to practice the grammar item.

    2．The topic of this unit is to learn to talk about getting around. It is tightly connected with the real life and students have great interest in it. So the teacher should try his/her best to create some real life situations for the students to practice the topic. It’s quite necessary for the teacher to let the students get lots of information about their city/town after class. If so, it will let the students have things to say while doing activities. Of course, the teacher should give the students enough help and encouragements while teaching the text. It’s one of the most important things to do.
