Unit 1　Festivals around the world

Period 3　Learning about language: Grammar

整体设计

教材分析

This is the third teaching period of this unit. To test whether students have grasped the important and difficult language points they learned in the last period, the teacher should first offer them some revision exercises. Then lead in the new lesson.

This teaching period mainly deals with the grammar: modal verbs—the use of can, could, may, might, will, would, shall, should, must, can’t. Students often feel modal verbs abstract and difficult, so it is necessary to make the lesson interesting and connect it with their daily life in order to make it easy to accept and understand. Firstly, the teacher can ask students to read the reading passage FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS again, tick out the sentences using modal verbs from the reading passage and translate them into Chinese. Secondly, compare and discover the uses of each modal verb by giving a lot of example sentences. Thirdly, do the exercises in Discovering useful structures on Page 5 and more exercises for students to master the related modal verbs. Finally, summarize the use of can, could, may, might, will, would, shall, should, must, can’t.

At the end of the class, ask students to do the exercises in Using structures on Page 43 and additional exercises for consolidation.

情态动词 (Modal Verbs)

情态动词主要用来表示说话人的看法、意愿、态度等。从用法上来说, 它有如下几个特点:

1)情态动词本身都有一定的词义;

2)情态动词单独不能在句子中充当谓语;

3)情态动词没有人称和数的变化;

Where could/can the boy be now?

另外, could还常用于表示客气委婉的看法、提问以及用于虚拟语气的结构中。这时could就不可以看作是can的过去式了, 而是could自己独特的用法。例如:

您能说慢一点儿吗？

恐怕我们这时候还无法给予您确切的答复。
