Step 4.Language points:
1)Neither 或 nor 可引导并列分句， 接在前面的否定句后， 表示“也不”
说明： nor 和neither 表“也不”的特点是：
主语不是同一个人
谓语部分相同， 故省略；
所引导的并列句要倒装。倒装句的助动词要和前一个分句的助动词呼应，
I don’t enjoy singing, I don’t like computers either. 两个并列句
---I don’t enjoy singing, nor do I like computers. 主语相同，
He doesn’t like its size; he doesn’t like its colour either. 只能用nor
---He doesn’t like its size, nor does he like its colour.
David isn’t here, and neither/nor is Sarah. 两个并列句主语不同，则neither
I can’t swim. Neither/nor can he. 和Nor 可替换

2)Rock music is Ok, and so is skiing.
--- Rock music is Ok, and skiing is Ok too.
He likes singing, and I like singing too.
--- He likes singing and so do I.
(When we say the same things also happens to sb. or sth. Else, we can use such a pattern: So + be/have/do/does/can….+ subject)
a)I am a student. He is a student, too. ---- So is he.
b)I study at the school. He studies at the school, too. ---- So does he.
c)I came to school yesterday. He came here yesterday, too. ---- So did he.
(If the subjects are different, you must use declarative order-----so+ subject +be/have/do/did/can.)
eg: ---the students work hard.
---- So they do.
3)Be fond of ….
He is fond of ice cream/ his father/ playing football
4)be into….=be deeply interested in …
Her brother is deeply into computers.

2)He (She) likes/ enjoys/is fond of / is into…/loves…
3)doesn’t like…/dislikes…/hates…./ ….is boring(terrible)
T: In my opinion, it is important to learn how to apologize when you have problems with your friends. This way will help you to make a steady friendship. We are going to learn how to make apology.
T: Please turn to P85: TALKING in workbook, listen to the dialogue between two Ss and find the problem between them, and try to find the apology student B made.
Problem: Student B promised to meet me at 5 o’clock but never came.

You promised to ……
You said that you would do ……
Apologies: I am very sorry.
