Teaching Procedures

I. Revision

1. Check the homework exercises

2. Ask the Ss In which countries in the world do the people speak English?

II Presentation

1. Say to the Ss In this unit we’re going to learn about Canada. In today’s lesson , we meet Dean; he’s Canadian. He’s talking about Canadian English.

2. Get the Ss to read the dialogue quickly and answer the question below

Which of the following does he talk about: grammar, vocabulary, spelling or pronunciation?

III Reading:

1. Get the Ss to read the dialogue silently. Ask them a few questions:

Is an American accent very different from a Canadian accent?

Do people have the same accent all over the country?

V Language Points:

1．A lot of people can’t tell the difference between an American accent and a Canadian accent.

（1） tell the difference between “知道……的區(qū)別，分得清……”，常和情態(tài)動詞can連用。：

那為可敬的先生分不清綿羊和山羊。

That worthy gentleman cannot tell the difference between a sheep and a goat.

你能分清那對孿生姐妹嗎？

Can you tell the difference between the twin sister?

（2）tell和can連用時，常表示“了解，認(rèn)知”。

沒有人知道接下來會發(fā)生什么。

Nobody could tell what would happen next.

（3）accent“口音”，“重音”

我們英語老師有明顯的美國口音。

Our English teacher has very obvious American accent.

“photographer”這個單詞是第二個音節(jié)重讀。

The accent of the word “photographer” is on the second syllable.

2．We fill our cars with “gas”, which is American, but we turn on the “tap” which is British English.

American British meanings

tap faucet 水龍頭

gas petrol 汽油

corn maize 玉米

eraser rubber 橡皮擦

fall autumn 秋天

highway main road 公路

mail post 郵件

movie film 電影

railroad railway 鐵路

store shop 商店

vacation holiday 假期

rest room public toilet 公共廁所

3．Generally speaking, newspapers follow the American way.

generally speaking，“一般說來”，是插入語，對全句加以說明。

usually speaking, strictly speaking,

frankly speaking, personally speaking,

exactly speaking, broadly speaking, etc.

坦率地說，我覺得這個決定并不明智。

Frankly speaking, I don’t think this is a wise decision.

從她的外表來判斷，她是北方人。

Judging from her appearance, she is from the north of the country.

（2）follow“遵從，按照”

如果聽從她的忠告，我們會成功的。

We will succeed if we follow her advice.

他沒有按照說明書安裝機(jī)器。

He did not install the machine following the instructions.

4． You mean it looks strange! I’ll tell you something that does sound strange.

①look和sound都是連系動詞（link verb），和表語一起構(gòu)成謂語。類似有：feel, fall, get, seem, taste, smell, be, keep, appear, become, grow, go, turn等等

這煎餅嘗起來味道不錯。

This pancake tastes delicious.

這塊面料摸起來真柔軟。

This material feels so soft.

她看起來/顯得很老，雖然她才三十幾歲。

She appears old though she is just in her thirties.

sound作名詞時，注意區(qū)別sound, noise和voice

e.g. Light travels faster than sound.

Not a sound was heard. (寂靜無聲)

I can’t hear you because of the noise from the street.

He spoke in a quiet ( loud / angry / kind ) voice.

I couldn’t recognize Tom’s voice on the phone.

②does用來加強(qiáng)語氣。助動詞do(does, did)常用于肯定句或祈使句中表示強(qiáng)調(diào)。

用do、does或did強(qiáng)調(diào)謂語動詞的現(xiàn)象，

你的英語說得實(shí)在完美。

You do speak English perfectly.

湯姆確實(shí)天天練鋼琴。

Tom does practise the piano every day.

他們上個月的確給他加薪了。

They did increase his salary last month.

一定要加入一個集郵團(tuán)體。

Do join a stamp-collecting group.

5…that the people there speak quite differently from the rest of Canada.

注意difference、different(ly)這一組詞常搭配的介詞：

你能分清那對孿生姐妹嗎？

Can you tell the difference between the twin sisters?

What is the difference between “above” and “over”? “above”和“over”的區(qū)別是什么？

這兩臺機(jī)器的功能不同。

These two machines are different in function.

他們和受過良好教育的人談吐完全不同。

They talk quite differently from well-educated people.

和瑪麗不同，簡是一個安靜的女孩。

Dear Sir madam:

It's my pleasure to make application for the position of English teacher in your school, which you have advertised for in the China Daily.

I was born in 1969 in Beijing and graduated from the English Department, Beijing Foreign Language University in1991. One year later, I got the teacher's certificate. Since then, I've been teaching English in a middle school. Because of my fluent English, I am very popular among my students. I've worked as a head teacher for 5 years and once was made model head teacher. And I have hobbies, such as sports, music and painting. I'm on our school swimming team. In addition, I am cooperative. I'm the general secretary of the communist youth league in our school. So I believe I am competent at the job.

I hope that you give me an opportunity of interview and give a favorable reply.

Truly yours,

Li Qiang
