教学内容分析
本单元的话题"天气预报"(Weather report ) ，交际功能项目是"谈论天气"(Talking about the weather)，它们紧密联系。重点语言结构选用了will 和shall表示的动词一般将来时，因为这种时态常用于天气预报。同时复习了be going to等句型。本单元还集中学习了表示方向的单词，如north, northeast等。
本单元四课的听、说、读、写活动无一不是围绕中心话题"天气"的。Lesson 45 由日期开始谈到天气，用一组插图引出描写天气的形容词，并发出感叹，介绍了How cold it is! What a cold day! 还用It's going to be/ get ...说明天气的变化，很自然地复习了形容词的比较等级形式。 Lesson 46的对话和天气预报进一步巩固复习了有关天气的日常交际用语和语法句型。Lesson 48主要复习 及有关字母和字母组合的拼读规则，学习[tr]、[dr]、[ts]、[dz]四个辅音音标及有关的字母和字母组合的拼读规则。
语法分析：一般将来时的用法
一般将来时指在将来的时间发生的动作或状态，通常有以下几种表达法：
1．用"will / shall +动词原形"表示对未来的"预见"，如果句子的主语是人，也可能表达一种"意图"。
(1) You'll feel better if you take this medicine. 如果你吃这种药，你会感觉更好。
(2) John will meet you at the airport. 约翰将在机场会见你。
2．用"be going to + 动词原形"表示将来打算做的事情或者根据现存的各种因素，推断很快将发生的事情。
(l) What are you going to do tomorrow? 明天你打算做什么?
(2) It's going to be sunny tomorrow. 明天可能是晴天(根据所观察的)。
3．"be + v. - ing"表示按计划安排的，在最近即将发生的动作。可用于此种用法的动词有：come, go, die, leave, arrive, begin等。
The bus is coming. 公共汽车就要来了。
4．可用一般现在时表示将来时间，即表示按规定或时间表预计要发生的动作或事态。可用于此种用法的动词有start, leave, come, go等。
（1）The football match takes place on Friday. 星期五有一场足球赛。
（2）The term starts at the beginning of October. 这学期将于十月初开学。

Alice Andrews was very worried about her son, John .He was often unhappy.
One morning she walked into his room, turned on the light, and said, "It's time to get up, John. You can't stay in bed all day." John turned over in bed. He did not want to get up. He turned off the light.
"Don't go to sleep again," Alice said, "Get up now or you'll be late again for school." she turned the light on again.
Fifteen minutes later John came into the kitchen and sat down at the table.
"Eat your breakfast quickly," Alice said, "It's almost eight thirty."
"There's no hurry," John told his mother, "I'm not going to school today."
"Why not?" his mother asked. "Is it a holiday?"
John shook his head, "No, it's not a holiday."
Alice sat down next to her son and took his hand, "John," she said, "Tell me what's wrong, why do you hate school so much?"
