The first is todays date, including the year and the second is the same day, but ten years ago.2 Ask a student to stand up. Use words or phrases to describe that student now. Ask students to suggest words or phrases that describe him/her ten years ago.T: Liu Chang is tall now. Was she tall ten years ago?S1: No, she is short.T: She has long hair. Did she have long hair ten years ago？S2: No, she has short hair.

Ss answer:Qian yuntao used to be short, but now he is tall.He used to have short hair, but now he has long hair我们对比自己身边同学十年前后的变化让学生更好地区别used to be 和used to do的用法。这样做能透彻地理解听力材料的内容。四、PracticeDid Mario use to be short?Yes,he did. He used tobe really short.Whats he like now?Hes tall now.学生两人一组根据主题图和听力材料、仿照1的示范对话展开口语训练。教师以通过小组对话巩固这一内容。五、 SummarySay, in this class, weve learned the key vocabulary words “used to” and “dark”.
