Keys: GBDEFCA

Post reading: Work on 2d

1) Why does the wife tell her husband to leave the children in the forest?

2) What does Hansel go out to get?

2. Ss read the play again and try to find the answers to the questions.

3. Let some Ss read their answers and correct their mistakes.

4. Ss check their answers with their partners.

4. They followed the white stones home.

5. They can’t find any of the pieces of bread they dropped on the ground (because the birds may have eaten the bread).

Step 10 Language points

1. One year, the weather was so dry that no food would grow. 有一年，天气太干旱了，以至于粮食颗粒不长。

so… that…是一个常见的句式结构，表示“如此……以至于……”, 副词so之后接形容词或副词，that引导一个完整的句子，有时that还可省略。例如本单元的这个句子：That bird’s song is so beautiful that we would follow it.

2. We thought you were never coming back. 我以为你们再也回不来了。

We thought…表示人们过去的某种想法，判断等，可以译作“我们原想……; 我们本以为……”。如：I thought he would come, but he didn’t.

3. It’s leading us to that wonderful house made of bread, cake and sugar.

它在把我们引向那座由面包，蛋糕和糖果做成的美妙小屋。

此句中made of bread, cake and sugar作定语，修饰名词house, 形容词wonderful也是house的定语。在英语中，大部分形容词作定语修饰名词时应前置，短语或句子作定语修饰名词时则后置。如：the young people in the room 屋子里的年轻人

4. The wife told her husband that unless he left the children to die in the forest, the whole family would die.

妻子告诉丈夫，如果他不把孩子们扔到森林里让他们自生自灭，整个家庭就会灭亡。

unless的意思是“如果不，若非，除非”，它引导的是一个条件状语从句，相当于if…not。因此，上面的句子改写为: …if he didn’t leave the children to die in the forest, the whole family would die.

5. As soon as the moon rises, we can follow them instead.

月亮一升起来，我们就可以顺着它们走了。

as soon as 表示 “一……就……”，再如本单元的这个句子：As soon as you wake up, you must go to the forest with your father. 你们一醒来就必须和爸爸去森林里。

Step 11 Homework

1. Read the play again after school.

2. Try to act out the play in groups of four. One is Gretel, one is Hansel, one is Husband, and one is Wife.
