关于词语及对话练习的教学建议
本单元的生词大部分出现在阅读课文之中。而针对词汇的练习主要由48课的2和3两部分组成。即构词法的部分知识和有关选择电视节目的对话及词语练习。
首先,在教学构词法知识时,教师可采取提供部分例词,要求学生通过观察自己总结出构词规则的方式,让学生对构词法知识的认识从感性认识上升到理性认识,从而印象深刻, 记忆牢固。
现根据构词法将第一册到第三册中出现的有关单词归类如下:
复合名词:afternoon basketball bedroom birthday blackboard bookseller bookshop breakfast classmate classroom day-time doorbell Englishman fireplace football gate-keeper gateman grandparents granddaughter grandson handbag headache headmaster headteacher hometown homework houseworkkilometre know-all loudspeaker mooncake motorbike northeast northwest
pencil-box penfriend photograph playground policeman postcard railway reading-room shopkeepersoutheastsouthwest spaceship sunrise sunshine teapot teamwork volleyball weekday
名词变形容词:interesting surprising northern southern woolen
动词变名词(结尾-er/or):
cleaner driver inventor keeper teacher speaker traveller visitor worker
其次,提供讨论选择电视或电台节目的对话的教学过程。
建议教师先向学生展示电视和电台节目表,如下表:
TV: 1. Programme for Children Radio: 1. Music World
2. 9-part Series: Family (2) 2. News Report
3. China Reports 3. Foreign Languages Magazine
4. Series: Women 4. Window on Chinese History

将主要句型提供给学,如下:

3) Well, I don't think any of them is interesting/enjoyable.
4) I think I shall …instead.
5) Why don't you go and … instead?
6) Good idea. That is much better than … /…is better than…
学生看表进行对话练习。按全班、半班、两人小组操练句型,直至熟练为止。建议教师依靠表格和角色扮演等手段,让学生先口头熟悉对话内容,并采取各种形式进行口头操练,然后再据此完成不同的笔头练习。教师应鼓励学生积极思维,创造性地编出不同的对话。例如:
1) A: Which TV programme shall we watch? I can't decide.
B: Which do you think is more interesting?
A: Well, I think the children's programme is more enjoyable.
B: Which channel is it on?
A: It is usually found on Channel 3. Try that.

探究活动
读文谈感受
读下面关于时间的小资料,然后谈一谈自己的感受。
A punctual(守时的) person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.
The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. There is a proverb(谚语) which says, "Time flies never to be recalled(召回)." This is very true. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact time is life itself, and the unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset(财产) as well as others'. The unpunctual man is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he can not get through his immense amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every appointment promptly and deals with every piece of work when it has to be attended to.
用英语复述
读下面的小文章,试着用英语复述。
你旅行时在时间上会发生很多奇怪的事,因为地球分为24个时区,一区相差一小时。有些天可能多于或少于24小时,有些星期可能多于或少于7天。
如果你用五天时间横渡大西洋,你乘的船每天都进入一个不同的时区。你进入每一时区,时间就改变一小时。向西行,你把钟往后拨;向东行,则往前拨。你旅行的每一天都有25或23小时。
如果你乘船横渡太平洋,你就会越过国际日期变更线。根据协议,这是新一天开始的地方。你越过该线,就得把你的日历向后或向前改动一整天。向东行,今天变成了昨天;向西行,今天变成了明天!
参考答案:
Strange things happen to time when you travel, because the earth is divided into twenty-four time zones(时区), one hour apart. You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.
If you make a five-day drip across the Atlantic Ocean(大西洋),your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.
If you travel by ship across the Pacific(太平洋), you cross the international date line(国际日期变更线). By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday; traveling west, it is tomorrow!
总结如何来做笔记
先在课堂上讨论如何做笔记和如何使用笔记。把主要的结论写在黑板上,让学生选出一条结论在课后进行扩写,一句话或两句话即可,可使用字典等工具书,内容要有生词、主从句、动词不定式、被动语态等语法项目。第二天或第在下节课上出示范句。
范句:
字迹清楚
Accurate, legible(字迹清楚的) notes are invaluable(非常宝贵的) aids to the student who is enrolled in a lecture course.
不但在听讲时,还在课前预习课文时
Notes should be taken during lectures, and when the student is reading the texts prior to each session of the course.
能听进很多内容,只记下教师所讲内容的要点
The key to good note-taking is to be able to listen a lot and to write only as much as is needed to record the essence(精华) of a point or idea presented by the lecturer.
辨别出主要论点和意见,并记下其概要
Students should endeavor(努力去) to identify only the main points and ideas being presented and to write them down in outline(概要) form.
力争把笔记第一次记好
Students should also strive(力争) to take good notes the first time and not plan to recopy notes - or to do so only when clarity and conciseness demand it
再把笔记复习
Students should review their notes for about five minutes on the same day that they take them, and go over them again for about half an hour at least once a week, according to a regular schedule or plan.
小结
There is no course syllabus(大纲) to be memorized; instead, the examination will be based on the material presented in the lectures and textbooks.
总结复习的重要性
组织学生们用英语来讲一讲复习的重要性。教师根据学生们提出的想法及时进行总结。
参考资料
Most forgetting takes place immediately after learning. An hour after studying or learning something new, more than 50% has been forgotten. After one month 80% has been forgotten and so on.
This shows that review is very important. If you review new material you have learnt, you remember much more. It's important to review newly learnt material a little and often. It's also necessary to have frequent breaks(间歇). We best remember what we learn at the beginning of a learning period and at the point where we stop. After the break, it's necessary to review what was learnt before the break - and then to continue learning the new material.
Other experiments have shown that the brain needs time to "digest" what has been learnt. The time necessary for this is 5 to 10 minutes. After a break of this time the memory will have absorbed what it has just learnt, and more will be remembered.
