Step I Revision and Lead-in ( 1a: P110) Ask two or more students to show their work and how they did it. T: In the last unit, you were asked to write a passage about a story which happened last weekend, using the Past Tense. Now I’d like to know who’d like to display your project on the classroom wall. A sample version:
On the morning of last weekend, my friend Kangkang and I were on the way to Fenghua Park when we found a tree bent, we felt very sorry for the tree and set out to do something to help it. We straightened the tree by tying it to a stick. We put a rope around the tree and put up a notice, which read, “Take Care of Trees”. When we finished working, we all felt tired.
When we got to the park, it was almost 12:00. It was very hot, we felt tired and hungry. But we were happy and very satisfied with what we had done because we had made a contribution to the protection of the environment. T: Well, summer holiday is coming. Can you tell me what you are going to do during summer holiday?
S1: I’m going to Beijing to visit some places of interest. T: Good idea. You’d better visit the Great Wall, or you will not be a real man. What about you, Tina? S2: I want to go to Dalian to relax myself because Dalian is a beautiful city and the weather is nice. T: I think so. By the way, do you like the sea?
S2: Of course. I like it very much. It’s so wide and beautiful. T: Why not go to the beach and go on a beach vacation? S2: Good idea! T: When we go on a beach vacation what you will pack? S1: A camera. S2: Some clothes. S3: A map. T: I think so. You’d better take a guidebook, a bathing suit and a towel. They are very useful when you are on a beach vacation.What are you going to pack when you go on a trip?
S4: I think I am going to pack an umbrella. It is very useful because it can be used both on a sunny day and a rainy day. T: I agree with you. What else are you going to pack, Judy? S5: A camera is very useful, I think. It can give me a good memory about the trip. Collect more possible things to pack: some clothes, a lot of money, some snacks, some fruit, towel, map, umbrella, sunglasses, bathing suit, guidebook ... T: Well, we have got so many things to pack. We can’t pack all of them into a small suitcase. What are the three most important things to pack for the trip? S6: A camera, some clothes and money. T: Have you packed your camera?
S7: Yes, I have already packed it. T: Have you packed your money? S7: No, I haven’t. I have to go to the bank to get it. T: You must be careful with your money. Money is not everything, but you cannot have a pleasant holiday without it. Have you packed your bathing suit, Jessie?
S8: No, I haven’t washed it yet. Get several more students to show their answers and write some important sentences on the blackboard. T: Thank you for your wonderful work. Get the students to practice small dialogues using “Have you ...?” Sample dialogue 1: S1: Hello, where are you going? S2: I’m going on a beach vacation. S1: Have you packed your guidebook? S2: Yes. I have already packed it in the suitcase. Sample dialogue 2: S3: Hi, where are you going? S4: I’m going to the supermarket to buy some rice and dumplings. S3: Have you locked your door? S4: Yes, I have. It is dangerous to leave the door open when I go out. S3: That’s right. You must be careful. T: Good. You really did a great job. Now I wonder what the three most important things to pack are when you go on a beach vacation / a city vacation. Write your ideas below in 1a on page 110.
Sample answers: A beach vacation Sightseeing in a city Bathing suit Jeans Umbrellas Camera Sunglasses Comfortable shoes Slippers Umbrellas
Step II Listening and Practice (1b, 1c: P110; 2a, 2b: P111) T: What would you do if you are going to do some listening practice?
S1: I think we should know what we are asked to do first.
T: Then what are you asked to do according to the instruction?
S1: We are asked to listen and check the chores the people have already done. T: Now I want to know before you leave for a holiday, what chores you should do at home? S1: I think I should close the window. S2: I should water the flowers. T: Good idea. If you do not water the flowers, they will dry and die soon. S3: I’d better take out the trash. S4: I should clean out the refrigerator. S5: Turn off the light. S6: Lock the door. T: That’s right. If you leave the door and the window open, a thief will visit your house. Well, I think all of your advice is wonderful. Listen to the recording and check the chores the people have already done in 1b on page 110. Play the tape. T: Just now we listened to a conversation. I think they have prepared everything for their beach vacation. Now make conversations in pairs, using the information from 1b on page 110.
Which pair would like to perform your conversation first? Good, you two, please.
S1: Have you watered the plants yet? S2: Yes, I have already watered them. T: Well done. Next pair, please. S3: Have you packed the beach towels yet? S4: No, I haven’t. Can’t Judy pack them? S3: No, she’s busy.
S4: Have you packed your guidebook and the street map? S5: I have already bought the guidebook, but I haven’t got the street map yet. T: Before we listen to another recording, let’s look at the picture on page 111 first. What can you see in the picture? S1: I can see a boy and a girl.
T: What else can you see? S2: I can see a lovely cat with a long tail. T: What are they doing? S3. They are talking about something.
T: What do you think they are talking about? S4: I think they are talking about preparing a trip.
T: Now listen and find out what they are talking about. Then tell me who said each thing. Write “M” for Mark and “T” for Tina.
Play the recording for the first time and check the answers. T: Listen again and match each question in 2b with an answer from 2a. After that, check the answers.
Step III
Pairwork (2c: P111) T: After listening, we’ve got some information from the conversation. Now use the information from 2a and 2b to role play a conversation.
Sample conversation 1: S1: Hi, Tina. Are you ready for the beach vacation? S2: No, I haven’t cleaned out the refrigerator yet.
S1; Have you fed the cat yet? S2: Not yet. I’ll feed it in a minute. S1: Have you turned off your radio? S2: Yes. I have. I think we’re almost ready. Sample conversation 2: S1: Hi, Tina. Are you ready for the beach vacation? S2: No, I haven’t locked the garage yet. S1: I’ve already done most of my jobs. S2: Have you taken the towels? S1: No, I will do it in a minute.
Step IV Grammar Focus (P111) T: Look at the Grammar Focus box on page 111.
Now we will learn something about the Present Perfect Tense. It is used to indicate an action that took place in the past or not long ago but the “influence” still exists. For example, “I’ve dropped my pen on the ground.” — You can see the pen on the floor now; “I’ve opened the door.” — Now the door is open. Ask the students to write some sentences down on the blackboard, using the Present Perfect Tense. Circle have done in the sentences. T: Well, do you know the differences between the Present Perfect Tense and the Past Tense? Show the following to the students. (1) She has taught English for eight years. (2) Have you fed your dog yet? (3) Has he got up? (4) —Come and have breakfast with us.
— Thank you. I’ve just had it. (5) What have I said to make you so angry? 表示过去某时发生的动作，这动作可能刚刚停止，也可能还在进行。
(6) She taught English last year. (7) Did you feed your dog last night? (8) Did he get up early this morning? (9) I had my breakfast in the canteen. (10) What did you say just now? 表示过去某时发生的动作。
T: From the above examples, we can see the differences between the Present Perfect Tense and the Past Tense. So we can reach the following conclusion: Show the following to the students. 现在完成时: 主语+ have / has done 一般过去时: 主语+ did
Show the following to the students and ask them to read aloud. 1. Have you received your letter? 2. Has the rain stopped yet? 3. She has gone to America. 4. I’ve already posted your letters. 5. I’ve just had my lunch. Show the students the following and ask them to translate the sentences one by one orally. Put the following sentences into English. 1. 今年我去过那里两次。
2. 到现在我只学了一千个英语单词。
3. 这学期他不太用功。
4. 今天我什么东西都还没吃。
5. 你看过这样的电影了吗? 6. 这是我看过的最有意思的书。
Sample answers: 1. I have been there twice this year. 2. Up till now I have only learned a thousand English words. 3. He hasn’t worked very hard this term. 4. I haven’t eaten anything today. 5. Have you ever seen any film like this? 6. This is the most interesting book I have ever read.
