Try to complete notes about a famous place-prepare for tomorrows listeningpractice.The Fourth PeriodContents: Listening and language- Part A Important points:1. Learn to complete notes about a famous place.2. Master the uses of this, that, these and those.Teaching procedures:Step 1. ListeningCompleting notes about a famous place1. The purpose of this task is to help students get used to simple note-taking. The notes here are quite close to the words in the actual text. Students must listen carefully for the missing words or numbers.2. Before teacher plays the recording, let students read the notes. Explain the meaning of any difficult words. Get students to look at the gaps and think about what type of information will be needed. For example, they can tell from the notes that they will need a number for item 1, a noun for item 2, a date for item 3, etc. It is good to teach the skill of prediction.3. Play the recording once, and let students try to write the answers. Play the recording a second time for them to complete and check their answers.Note:How to complete a note? First read the notes carefully and get a general idea. Pay attention to the key words before and after the blanks and think about the missing information. Try to predict it. Finally listen carefully for the missing information and write it down quickly.How to take notes? To understand the meaning of the context while listening is very important.e.g. The listening of Chapter Two: Come and help us plant some trees. From reading the title and the whole passage, it talks about the use of the trees, so all the answers must be related to the use of trees. To use short hand as much as possible.e.g. Trees can make street more_. First you can just write down bea, later you can complete it to beautiful. To guess the blank with the help of your common or grammatical knowledge.e.g. Nanjing: capital of China for over _ years. Here it must be a number.Step 2. Language Part A - Demonstrative Pronouns指示代词：英语中表示指示概念的代词叫指示代词，指示代词用来起指示作用，或用来代替前面已提到过的名词。指示代词包括:this, that, these，those.其用法如下： 功用：在句中作主语、宾语、表语、定语等。e.g. This is a bike. That is a car. （主语）All he wants is this. （表语）How do you like these? （宾语）This book is better than that one. （定语）Note:a. 指近(空间和时间上)，用this, these. 指远，用that, those指单数，用 this, that, 指复数，用these, those. this和that用来表示单数概念,系动词be用is. there或 those用来表示复数概念,系动词be用are。 e.g. These are books and those are pencils.We are free these days but in those days we were as busy as a bee.b. 当含有this或that的特殊问句指人时，其回答仍可以用 this或that;但不指人时，单数用it,复数用they回答。例： Whos that? Thats Andy Liu. Whats this? Its an insect. What are those? They are apples. 。c. that指前面讲到过的事物，有承上的作用.this指下面要讲的事物, 有启下的作用。在介绍人时，我们常用this指下面要提到的人,而不用其它指示代词。e.g. He was ill. Thats why he didnt come to school.(That指代He was ill.) This is what I want to say. (this 指代下面要说的事) Ladies and gentlemen, this is Dr Ray, she is going to give us a talk on trees.d. 在表示（同类事物）比较的句子中，为了避免重复，可用that或those代替前面提到的事物。that 指代单数可数及不可数名词， those指代可数复数名词，而不用one, ones.如：e.g. The weather of Wuhan is colder than that of Guangzhou in winter.The bikes made in Shanghai are better than those made in Guangzhou.e. 打电话时通常用this表示自己，that表示对方, 而不用代词I和you。 e.g. -Hello, is that Mary speaking? -Yes, this is Mary speaking. Who is that?f. 叙述在一起的两样东西时，先说的用 this ，后说的用 that .如：e.g. This is a computer. That is a TV set.g. 我们平时在第一次提到某物时，常用 this 或 that 来指代，后文中再出现此物时，就用 it 来代替this或 that h. 和在口语中有时可做状语，意为“这么”“那么”（=so）。如：e.g. I didnt expect to wait this long. Can hard work change a person that much?i. 最后提醒同学们注意： this 和 is 不能缩写，但 that , it 与 is 连用时可分别写为 thats 和 its 如：This is a dinosaur. （不可写成: Thiss a dinosaur. ）It is a postcard. （可以写成： Its a postcard. ） Step 3. Do listening parts H2 and H3 of Chapter 3 in workbookStep 4. Assignmenta. Review Part A of language.b. Do exercises on newspaper.The Fifth PeriodContents: Language - Part B Important points: 1. Revise demonstrative pronouns-this / that / these / those2. Study countable and uncountable.Teaching procedures:Step 1. Revision1. Recite the second short article-Disney Walt2. Do some exercises about Revise demonstrative pronouns-this / that / these / those.Step 2.可数名词与不可数名词(countable and uncountable nouns).英语中的名词按其表示的事物性质的不同可分为可数名词与不可数名词。这两种名词在用法上是有区别的，现归纳如下：一、 可数名词有单数、复数之分，如：map maps concert concerts footprint footprints不可数名词没有复数形式，只有单数形式。如：some water a lot of bread二、单数可数名词表示泛指时，前面要用不定冠词 a(an); 而不可数名词不能用 a（an） .如： Li Ming is a student. I am a teacher. I dont like milk.在表示特指时，不可数名词和可数名词前都要用定冠词the. 如： Pass me the ball, please. The chicken on the plate is you
