T: Yes, you got it. Paragraph 2, who? T: Very good job. Now, let’s check the answers to the diagram. One student for one point. xxx, can you try the first point?

Step 1: Let the Ss read 1a again to find the new words and attributive clauses. T: Now, let’s read 1a again. You should circle the new words and underline the attributive clauses this time. When you finish, put up your hand. T: There are five attributive clauses in this passage. See how many you have found. Who wants to have a try? T: Marvelous! You have found four of them. Where is the last one? T: It’s here! Turn to page 102. Look at the sentence “Besides, not everything we read on the Internet is true or good for us”. In fact, there is a “that” after “everything”. In this clause, the relative pronoun “that” acts as the object of the verb “read”. In this case, the relative pronoun is usually omitted. Step 2: Let the Ss learn the new words by word formation or synonyms: in+side=inside, normal(adj)+ly=normally(adv), work+place=work-place, proper(adj)+ly=properly (adv), tiny=very small, connect=join… together, for instance=for example, besides=what’s more=moreover =in addition. T: Now, try to guess the meaning of the new words and then turn to the vocabulary list to learn the pronunciation. Step 3: Let the Ss read 1a again and discuss in groups to find the difficult and key points. T: We have read the passage twice. Maybe some of you still have some problems. Now, read 1a again and discuss in groups to find the difficult and key points as well. When you finish, put up your hand. T: First, let’s solve the difficult points. Which group first? T: “There is no doubt that…”is a useful pattern. It means “It’s certain that…”. Who can put it into Chinese? T: Brilliant! That’s it. T: Any other questions? T: They are not exactly the same. Look at the example “What other sports do you like besides football?” and “I like all sports except football”. The first example means “He likes football, too”, but the second example means “He doesn’t like football at all.” Have you got it? T: You are right. T: There are many useful expressions in this passage. Group 1, please speak out what you have found. |
Read 1a again to find the new words and attributive clauses. S1: For example, tiny computers which are inside patients’ bodies can keep their hearts beating normally. S2: In factories, robots are controlled by computers that are like human brains. S3: .. S4: … Ss: Sorry, we don’t know. Learn the new words by word formation or synonyms. Read 1a again and discuss in groups to find the difficult and key points. S1: How to understand “There is no doubt that…in business? S2: 毫无疑问…… S3: besides 是“除了”，except 也是“除了”，它们两个一样吗？ S4: 我的理解是“besides”是包括在内，“except”是不包括在内。 S5: in many areas of .., with the help of…, for example, for instance, … S6: keep sth/sb. doing sth, place orders, come into being,… S7: thanks to, instead of doing sth., at work,… |
对于文章末尾出现的新形式的定语从句，老师可以提一下。并指出关系代词“that”被省略了，因为它在从句中作宾语。 当学生找出新词后，老师要按照构词法、近义词或反义词来归类让学生学习。 对于本课内的词组辨析，不一定都要在本次课内解决，也可以放一点在讲解作业时处理。如：for example和for instance, besides 和except。 |
