Step 8 Reading
1. Read the conversation in 2d and answer the questions.
2. Role – play the conversation.
3. Explain the language pints in 2d.
(1) Go along Main Street until you pass Center Street.
1) until和 till同义为“直到……” ，till多用于口语，until可以放在句首，till则不能放在句首。
2) not...until“直到……才”，表示直到某一时间, 某一行为才发生, 之前该行为并没有发生。
e.g. I did not study English until 9 o'clock last night.
(2) Pardon? Restroom? You already want to rest? But we haven’t even started yet!
1) pardon用作动词，后面既可以跟宾语，也可以跟双宾语；pardon sb. for doing sth.意为“原谅/宽恕某人做某事”
e.g. Can you pardon me for not passing the exam, Mom?
2) 在没有听懂对方的话，请对方重复一 下时也可说 pardon。
e.g. Pardon? I’m sorry I can’t follow you.
(3) I’m excited to try the rides!
excited和 exciting的区别:
1) excited意为“激动的；兴奋的”，作表语时，主语通常是人；作定语时，常用来修饰人，说明激动的表情。
e.g. All of us were excited when we heard the good news.
The excited child opened his Psent quickly.
2) exciting意为“激动人心的”，作表语时，主语通常是物；作定语时，常用来修饰物。
e.g. The movie is very exciting.

mean作动词有以下含义：
1) 有……的意思，指（多作及物动词），其后可跟名词或代词，也可跟从句。

的复合结构时，还可用于被动语态。

Step 2 Presentation
1) Show a picture of fun park. Ask students: Are you excited to try these in the fun park?
2) Show a ride to them and say: How do you think the ride? Is it fun or scary? Do you want to have a try?
Step 3 Reading
1) Read the conversation in 3a quickly and true or false the sentences.
① Alice and He Wei are in Water World.
② The new ride looks scary.
③ Alice was scary at first.
④ Alice thinks the new ride is actually fun.
⑤ He Wei thinks Fun Times Park restaurant severs delicious food.
⑥ A rock band plays in Water World Restaurant every evening.

1. Why did Alice not want to go on the new ride? How did she feel after the ride?
2. What is special about Uncle Bob’s restaurant?
3. Should Alice and He Wei get there early for dinner? Why?
Step 4 Practice
Underline the questions or statements in the conversation that ask for information. Rewrite them in a different way.
e.g. I wonder where we should go next.
Could you tell me where we could go next?
Check the answers with the whole class.
Step 6 Language points
1. I was scared at first, but shouting did help.
此句相当于I was scared at first, but shouting really helped. 原句是一种表现强调的句式，英语中，可用助动词do对谓语动词进行强调，构成强调句。
e.g. Please do be careful. 请一定小心。
I do agree with you. 我完全同意你的意见。
He did warn you other day, remember? 他前两天就告诫过你，还记得吗？
2. You never know until you try something.
try的用法
1) 做名词 have a try 试一试
e.g. Why not have a try? 为什么不试一试？
2) 做动词
(1) try to do sth. 努力做某事
e.g. Well, we’ll try to finish the homework in time.
那好。我们争取及时完成作业。
(2) try doing sth. 表示尝试着去做某事
e.g. -- I usually go there by train. 我通常乘火车去那儿。
-- Why not try going by boat for a change? 为什么不换乘船呢?
(3) try one’s best 尽某人最大的努力
e.g. Thank you. I will try my best.
谢谢你。我会尽力而为的。
3. I suggest Water City Restaurant in Water World.
suggest作动词，可意为“显示；间接表明”，后可接宾语从句。
e.g. His behavior suggested (that) he was a kind man.
他的行为显示他是个好人。
suggest作“建议”讲时，应注意以下两点：
1) suggest doing sth. 建议做某事
e.g. I suggested going home.
我建议回家。
2) suggest后接从句时，从句常用虚拟语气，谓语由“should +动词原形”构成，
should可以省略。
e.g. I suggested that we should go home. 我建议我们回家。
另外，suggestion是suggest的名词形式，作“建议”讲时，是可数名词。
e.g. Do you have any suggestions? 你有什么建议吗？
4. The restaurant is always busy, at that time so come a little earlier to get a table.
用于“就餐”的语境时，形容词busy相当于“吃饭人多；餐厅拥挤”的意思；动词短语to get a table类似于汉语“定餐桌；占位子”等意思。

2）Objective clauses with wh-questions

语序：无论主句是陈述句还是疑问句，也无论主从句间是什么引导词，宾语从句一律用陈述语序，即“引导词+主语+谓语+其它”。如：Could you tell me where Wei Fang lives?
时态
1. 如果主句是一般现在时或一般将来时，宾语从句的时态不受限制，可根据实际表达的需要来确定。如：
Jenny knows the man was flying a kite at that time.
You will understand why I did it one day.
总有一天你会明白我为什么那样做。
2. 如果主句是一般过去时，宾语从句用过去时态的某种形式。如：
I thought he had gone to town that day.
我以为他那天进城去了。
3. 如果宾语从句叙述的是客观事实、自然现象或科学真理等，从句不受主句时态的限制，用一般现在时。如：

Step 8 Reading
1) Read the article and match paragraph with its main idea.
2d Read the article and underline the topic sentence for each paragraph.
Paragraph 1
When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely (adv. 礼貌地)….

Direct questions Polite requests

7. Could you possibly tell me the way to the village school? B street
Step 9 Language points
1. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite.
less + 形容词或副词，构成降级比较形式，相当于中文“不那么；稍许不……”之意。
e.g. His second movie is less interesting.
他的第二部电影就没那么有趣。
2. It might seem more difficult to speak politely than directly.
情态动词might 表达一种可能性及推测的不确定性，意思与表达可能性的may相当，表示“有可能，也许会”，但语气更加委婉，更不确定。
e.g. He might come, but it’s very unlikely.
他也许会来，但非常靠不住。
3. However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations.
it作形式主语
【梳理】
在英语中，如果主语是较长的动词不定式或一个句子，为了保持句子结构的平衡，避免头重脚轻，通常用it作形式主语放在句首，而把真正的主语放在句尾。
常见的句型有：
1) It is + adj. (+ for + sb.) + to do sth.。常用于此句型的形容词有important, difficult, dangerous, necessary, useful, possible等，用来对to do sth. 进行说明。如：
It’s difficult for us to finish the work in an hour.
2) It is + adj. + of + sb. + to do sth.。常用于此句型的形容词有good, kind, nice, clever, wise等，用来对sb.的性格、品质等进行说明。
如：It’s kind of you to say so.
Step 10 Exercises
请根据汉语意思完成下列英语句子（每空一词）。
1. 对他来说，回答那个问题是十分困难的。

Step 7 Homework
根据3b的内容写一封回信。
一、整体设计思路、指导依据说明
教学设计整体思路：
主要以reading的文本为载体，通过具体教学活动来激发学生的阅读兴趣，训练学生速读和根据所给问题寻找相关细节的能力。此外，在教学过程中渗透学习策略，指导学生如何利用上下文的帮助猜测新词词意和从多个词条解释中选择最恰当的词意。在这一部分阅读训练中，针对任务型阅读这一学生的薄弱之处，我设计了一系列题目，希望学生通过一定量的常规练习，感受任务型阅读，减少畏难情绪，更好的适应这一河北省的新题型。
对文本中的词汇和语法教学，我把它们分成了两部分来处理。教师着重教授语法重难点“unless”一词的用法，并带领学生进行知识的拓展，归纳类比其它经常用于主将从现的连词：as soon as， if， when。其它文本中的短语相对简单，主要通过学生自学和小组合作学习的方式来解决，教师根据课堂情况做适当的点拨。作业我选择了美国女诗人Sara Teasdale的一首优美的励志小诗 “Like barleybending”
供学生欣赏，希望学生在接触到原汁原味的英美文学作品，体会阅读之美的同时，心灵上受到鼓舞，乐观、勇敢的面对生活中的挫折与挑战。
整个课程设计凸显阅读课的特点，对课本内容进行了内部整合与外部拓展，同时也兼顾中考的要求对基本词汇和重要语法点用不同的方法加以处理。课堂活动利用学习小组，以学生活动为主，教师主要是倾听、引导与点拨。
教学设计指导依据说明：
依据新课程标准，基础教育阶段英语课程不仅仅要使学生掌握一定的听、说、读、写技能，形成一定的综合语言运用能力，还注重激发和培养学生学习英语的兴趣，使学生养成良好的学习习惯和形成有效的学习策略，发展学生自主学习的能力和合作精神，帮助学生拓展视野，了解世界和中西方文化的差异。
课程标准对学生“读”的目标描述中，九年级学生应能根据上下文和构词法推断、理解生词的含义，能根据不同的阅读目的运用简单的阅读策略获取信息，能利用字典等工具书进行学习等。
二、教学背景分析
教学内容分析：
本课时是本单元的第五课时，前面四个课时的学习已经为本课做了一定的铺垫。学生在前面SectionA 和Section B的3a阅读中也初步实践了一些阅读方法，本课的学习，将是前面小块阅读训练的延续与提升，内容更为集中，方法针对性更强，阅读课的特色更加突出。
学生情况分析：
学生通过初一、初二两年的.英语学习，已积累一定的阅读量与阅读体验，但是面对阅读中较难的体裁如：科普文、议论文和阅读中较难的题型如：主旨概括，词意猜测，根据细节进行推理判断还是感到力不从心，因此阅读策略的渗透和阅读技能的训练就显得尤为重要。我们旨在通过对教材中Reading阅读材料的整合与延伸，让学生通过实践，结合教师的点拨与精讲，提升自身的阅读能力，形成自己的有效阅读策略。
三、教学目标分析
教学目标分析：
知识目标：
学习并能在具体上下文情境中运用下列基本短语：deal with， worry about=be worried about，learn to do sth， be angry with sb， go by， decide not to do sth， regard … as …， complain about…， try one’s best to do sth= do one’s best to do sth， with the help of sb， break off
学习连词“unless”的用法，复习“when， if， as soon as”的用法。
能力目标：
学习如何通过上下文的帮助猜测新词词意和从多个词条解释中选择最恰当的词意。
训练学生速读和根据所给问题寻找相关细节的能力。
情感目标：
通过文本的学习，鼓励学生做个坚强、快乐的人，积极、勇敢地直面生活中的挫折与困难。
四、教学重点、难点分析
教学重点、难点分析：
（一）教学重点：
1. 在于具体的阅读能力的训练：培养学生借助上下文的帮助获得恰当词意的能力；训练学生速读和根据所给问题寻找相关细节的能力。
2. unless的用法；主将从现常用连词“ unless， when， if， as soon as”的归纳与运用。
（二）教学难点：
1. 如何寻找有效的上下文
2. “unless， when， if， as soon as”用法的辨析与结合情境的具体运用。
（三）突破方法：
能力的提升借助具体的语篇和引导性较强的题目，于潜移默化中让学生自己体会、感悟，教师精讲巧点拨。
语法难点通过教师讲解，小组互助学习来解决，并通过巩固练习，在具体情境中辨析、运用进一步巩固。
五、教学过程设计
Step One： Leading In
1.教师出示图片和语篇。（见图1、2）
Do you still remember the dancers who performed at 2005 Spring Gala？ How beautiful and charming they are！ However， they can’t hear or talk， because they are disabled people. But they face the challenges bravely instead of giving up. 2. 请学生猜测disable和face两词在文中的词意。
3. 学生讨论词意，交流方法。教师倾听，点评，及时鼓励。
在此过程中，教师渗透学习策略，点拨学生利用上下文的提示：They can’t hear or talk， because they are disabled people. 上下文互为解释。 They face the challenges bravely. bravely副词的运用提示此处face是动词，故应为面对之意。
设计意图：激发兴趣，渗透策略：根据上下文猜测词意。
Step Two： Pairwork
1. 口语热身。教师出示话题及要求：Can you think of any problems you have had recently ？ Tell a partner how you dealt with them.
设计意图：阅读前的热身，也是话题的衔接过渡：面对困难，我们该如何做？
Step Three： Fast Reading
1. 请学生快速阅读课文并回答问题：What are the three ways of dealing with our problems？
在此过程中教师渗透学习策略：有时可以通过速读来获取信息，速读时，文中的副标题非常有帮助。
设计意图：训练学生的速读能力和对文章结构的整体把握。
Step Four： Detail Reading
1. 教师出示阅读任务： （1） 为判断正误，（2）至（4）为回答问题，（5） 为翻译句子。

Day long， night long，
Change my sorrow
Into song.
