文档简介
Unit 2English around the worldThe history of the English language really started with the arrival of three Germanic tribes(部落)who invaded(侵略)Britain during the 5th century.Old EnglishThe invading Germanic tribes spoke similar languages,which in Britain developed into what we now call Old English.Old English didnt sound or look like English today.Native English speakers now would have great difficulty understanding Old English speakers.However,about half of the most commonly used words in Modern English have Old English roots.Middle EnglishIn 1066,the Norman invaded and conquered England.They also brought with them a kind of French,which became the language of the ruling and business classes.For a period,the lower classes spoke English and the upper classes spoke French.In the 14th century,English became a main language in Britain again,with many French words added.This language is called Middle English.Late Modern EnglishThe main difference between Early Modern English and Late Modern English is vocabulary.Late Modern English has many more words,resulting from two main factors:firstly,technology development created a need for new words;secondly,the British Empire at its height converted one quarter of the earths surface,and the English language used foreign words from many countries.Now there are many other varieties of English in the world,such as Australian English,New Zealand English,Canadian English,South African English,Indian English and Caribbean English.【词海拾贝】1arrival n到达2period n时期,阶段3class n阶层4result from 因发生;随产生5create v. 生产;制造【问题思考】1The main idea of the text is _.答案:the history of the English language2When is English called Middle English?_答案:In the 14th century3Whats the main difference between Early Modern English and Late Modern English?_答案:Vocabulary.将单词与其正确释义配对1official adj.A本身;本体;身份2native adj.&n.

is it important to learn English?或者注明Poster等字样。2正文部分。不同的海报其正文部分的侧重点不同。对于介绍性的海报,首先引出话题,其次列出原因,最后总结。对于宣传类海报,要写清楚具体内容,如:活动内容、地点以及参加规定、主持或举办单位等。3落款。出海报的单位署名通常放在右下角,日期位于署名的下一行,既可以写在右下角,也可以写在左下角。注意事项:(1)海报的标题必须简洁明了,词数不能太多,而且必须能吸引读者的眼球。(2)海报的写作目的就是让读者了解活动的信息,传达信息才是海报最重要的任务,所以文字的修饰要服务于信息,不能玩文字游戏,使读者摸不着头脑。二、常用句式1I have something important to tell you.2I have got an announcement to make.3I am told that a speech contest will be held at the“English Corner”this summer vacation.4Im glad to have the honour to tell you some activities youre going to have today.5The party is a good chance for us to practise our English.6Everyone is welcome to attend the party.7Please bring along your pens and notebooks.8All the

reading,listening,speaking,and writing.The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can.But your reading must be active.It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence,the meaning of the unfamiliar words,etc.There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across,but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them,for example in other passages or books,is enough.It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.As for listening,there are two choices: besides reading,you can listen every day for about 30 minutes.You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading,then you can catch up on your listening.Since you have lots of inputs in your mind,you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say.This never means that you should not practise listening.For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children.Their languages are easy.Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programmes every day.Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow these pieces of advice,your speaking and writing will improve automatically,and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.【语篇解读】本文介绍了如何通过提高英语的阅读能力和听力技能,来提高说和写的能力。1According to the author,which should you improve first among the four skills?AReading and listening.BReading and writing.CWriting and
