【教学过程】

Step 1 Revision

Show some pictures to review the text of Unit 1 and Unit 2

Step 2 Language practice

1. Read through the example sentences in the box with the whole class.

1) Their works are still read by many people today.

2) We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideas.

3) It is still read and loved by people all over the world.

2. Ask the students to repeat the sentences in the box.

Step 3 Work in pairs.

Compare the sentences below with the sentences in the grammar box above.

1. Many people still read their works today.

2. Confucius’s ideas still influence us.

3. People all over the world still read and love it.

Step 4 Grammar

被动语态(1)

如果想要表达“孩子们喜爱这本书”，“我们每天使用电脑”，我们会说：

Children love this book.

We use computers every day.

如果想要说“这本书为孩子们所喜爱”，“电脑天天都要使用到”，则可以这样表达：

This book is loved by children.

Computers are used (by us) every day.

这两组句子表达的重点有所不同。第一组句子侧重动作的发出者，强调某人做了什么，而第二组句子侧重于动作的承受者，强调某事/某物如何。因此，当我们要突出某个行为的执行者时，应使用主动语态(第一组)来表达，而要强调动作的承受者时，就要使用被动语态(第二组)来表达。

被动语态的各类句式总结如下：

1. 肯定句：主语+be+动词过去分词(+by+动作执行者)

2. 否定句：主语+be not+动词过去分词(+by+动作执行者) 

3. 一般疑问句：be +主语+动词过去分词(+by+动作执行者)

4. 特殊疑问句：特殊疑问词+ be +主语+动词过去分词(+by+动作执行者)

请看以下例句：

This song is still loved by many young people today. 这首歌现在仍然受到许多年轻人的喜爱。(肯定句)

This camera is not made in Japan. 这部相机不是日本制造的。(否定句)

—Is the film called Snow White? 这部电影是叫《白雪公主》吗？(一般疑问句)

Good morning, everyone! Today is the World Book and Copyright Day. It started in 1995.

In order to encourage more people to read more books, all kinds of activities are held on April 23rd. Till now many famous books are popular, such as Confucius’ works by Confucius are still read by many people. I spend most of my free time reading famous books which affect me greatly.  I often share my happiness of reading books with my family and friends. Of all the books, I like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain best. It tells how young people grow, how people love each other and how bad people pay for their actions.
