新课展示	【完成教材2a~2b的任务】 1.快速阅读信件回答2b的两个问题，完成后请学生说出答案。 2.学生再读课本，找出重难点。 3.教师可以设计更多的问题来检查学生对文章的理解情况。 4.教师讲解重难点，帮助学生理解课文。【完成教材2c~2e的任务】
	1.认真阅读2b中的文章，在课本中圈出2c中的单词。并且根据单词在句子中的意思标出单词的词性。完成后小组内核对答案，教师点拨答案。 2.认真阅读信件中含有2c单词的句子，然后用这些单词造句，请几名学生在黑上写出句子，完成后教师点拨学生所写的句子。 3.再次认真阅读短文，根据信件内容将三组信息匹配，完成后小组内核对答案，教师点拨答案。 4.以小组为单位讨论2e中的两个问题，然后请几位学生代表小组发言，比一比哪个小组说得好。【语法提要】 1.make a difference make a difference (to…)意为“(对……)有影响；（对……起）作用”。difference 前面还可用 some，big，great 等词修饰，make a big /great difference表示“有重大影响；起很大作用”。例句：Exercise made a big /great difference to her.锻炼对她产生了很大的作用。 make no difference没有影响；无关紧要 make all the difference关系重大；大不相同例句：Whether she is rich or not makes no difference to me.她是否富有对我并没有影响。 A few kind words at the right time make all the difference.在适当的时候说几句体贴话效果迥然不同。
	2.imagine imagine作动词，意为“想象；设想”，不可用于进行时。其名词形式为 imagination，意为“想象”。例句：Can you imagine the life on the moon? 你能想象在月球上的生活吗？ imagine doing sth.想象做某事imagine sb.to do sth.想象某人做某事例句：He tried to imagine being on the moon.他试着想象在月球上的生活。 She imagines herself to be a famous singer.她把自己想象成一位有名的歌手。【问题探究】根据汉语意思完成句子。 1.教育对一个人的生活质量有很大影响。 Education can make a big difference to the quality of a person\'s life. 2.你能想象没有水的生活吗？ Can you imagine life without water?
