日常交際用語
Which is the second / fourth / month of the year? February / April.
When is spring / summer / autumn / winter / in China? It lasts from March to May.
What is the date today? It’s December the 20th, 2001.
What’s the weather like in spring / summer / autumn / winter in your hometown? It’s very warm and windy.
The days get warmer, and the nights get longer.

教學(xué)建議
本單元主要是圍繞兩個(gè)話題開展教學(xué)活動(dòng)。即 “日期”和“季節(jié)”。主要的語言項(xiàng)目是序數(shù)詞，月份的名稱和反意疑問句及回答。
在41課中，12個(gè)月份和四季的英語名稱，1-31的序數(shù)詞，一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)和一般過去時(shí)的有關(guān)日期的提問及回答都是比較難掌握的。第42課是閱讀課。講的是杭州的一中學(xué)生王偉給他的加拿大朋友的一封信。信中描述了杭州的四季。文章前的三個(gè)討論題可讓學(xué)生自由發(fā)揮，開展討論。第43顆主要是學(xué)會(huì)運(yùn)用反意疑問句。第三部分，看圖說話可供條件極好的班級使用。這一部分主要練習(xí)四季特征的描述�？慑憻拰W(xué)生的語言組織能力和表達(dá)能力。
第44課為綜合實(shí)踐課。提供了語音，聽力，說話和閱讀四個(gè)方面的材料。其中說話部分要求學(xué)生真實(shí)地回答問題，復(fù)習(xí)了反意問句及有關(guān)問句，并給學(xué)生提供了自由發(fā)揮的空間。閱讀部分通過兩個(gè)國家的氣候?qū)Ρ葦⑹龊臀暮蟮膬煞鶊D畫，給學(xué)生們談?wù)摎夂蛱峁┝怂夭摹?/p>
重難點(diǎn)分析
本單元的重點(diǎn)是學(xué)習(xí)并掌握反意疑問句的用法和介詞in, on, at的用法。難點(diǎn)是反意疑問句的兩種不同形式及答語。
1．表示季節(jié)、月份、日期、天氣狀況的詞，能很流利地運(yùn)用這些詞談?wù)摷竟?jié)和天氣狀況。
2．日期的提問和回答。
3．有關(guān)BE動(dòng)詞和行為動(dòng)詞最基本的反意問句及回答。
4．介詞in, on以及at和時(shí)間的搭配。
重點(diǎn)詞組和短語分析
thank sb. for sth.為某事感謝某人
ask sb. about sth. 就某事詢問某人
come out （花）開；發(fā)（芽）；出來；出現(xiàn)
rain heavily 下大雨

日常交際分析
本單元的交際用語主要是關(guān)于天氣狀況和季節(jié)的，現(xiàn)將有關(guān)這兩方面的詞匯和句型總結(jié)如下：
1.詞匯
1) spring, summer, autumn, winter
2) January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
2. 句型和短語
1) It is... in winter/summer. ...
2) It is/lasts from . . . to . . . .
3) go on to...
4) come after
5) It/The weather is .. ., isn't it?
6) at a bad time of year
7) at this time/that time of year
8) be different from
9) What's the weather like...?
詞匯教學(xué)建議
以舊代新 在學(xué)習(xí)12個(gè)月份的時(shí)候，先讓學(xué)生復(fù)習(xí)已學(xué)過的幾個(gè)月份。用下面的表格引出以下新單詞：
___________ __February__ ___________
___April_____ ___May____ __________
____________ ___________ _September_
__October___ ____________ ___________
也可采用以四季劃分的方式排列12個(gè)月份。
1．符合發(fā)音規(guī)律的單詞
三月、六月和七月建議老師先讓學(xué)生們仔細(xì)聽三個(gè)單詞的讀音，推測出它們是什么字母。必要時(shí)可寫出音標(biāo)。相信學(xué)生們是可以拼出單詞的。也可寫出單詞，讓學(xué)生自己讀。
2．可用遷移的方法教單詞
autumn August February January September November December
3．教學(xué)生月份的簡寫
月份的簡寫一般是前三個(gè)字母。如：January Jan. February Feb.
April Apr.等。
用掛歷讓學(xué)生看月份的縮寫。
語法教學(xué)建議
1. 利用值日生報(bào)告學(xué)習(xí)日期的表達(dá)。
值日生報(bào)告制度是老師們常用的訓(xùn)練學(xué)生口語的方式。此方法簡單易行，深受老師和同學(xué)們的喜愛。學(xué)習(xí)本單元大約在一月份，可利用這一段時(shí)間反復(fù)復(fù)習(xí)日期的表達(dá)。重點(diǎn)是兩類問題；What day is it today? What day was yesterday? 和 What is the date today? What was the date yesterday? 并以完全和縮略兩種形式，把每天的日期都寫在黑板上，如January 20th, 2003, Jan. 20th, 2003, 也可讓值日生自己寫，以加深學(xué)生們的印象。
2. 利用常見句型，練習(xí)反意疑問句。
先讓學(xué)生觀察一些句子，老師可事先用投影寫好一些句子，條件較好的班級也可由老師口頭朗讀這些句子，如：
It’s fine today, isn’t it? Yes, it is.
You’re from Japan, aren’t you? Yes, I am.
讓學(xué)生總結(jié)反意問句的構(gòu)成，以及它的回答方式。
日常交際用語建議
1．讓學(xué)生相互詢問生日，朋友的生日、父母的生日、值日生報(bào)告等，練習(xí)年月日的表達(dá)。
教學(xué)完日期的表達(dá)方法后，應(yīng)要求值日生每天進(jìn)行這樣的問答：What’s the date today? What was the date yesterday?等。這是復(fù)習(xí)鞏固日期表達(dá)法的最好的途徑。
2．通過編對話、描述等練習(xí)四季天氣的表達(dá)。
可利用書上的彩圖，教師平時(shí)要從畫報(bào)上選擇一些圖片，做為補(bǔ)充。這項(xiàng)工作也可發(fā)動(dòng)學(xué)生幫助完成。還可利用南北半球的氣候差異做比較將會(huì)引起學(xué)生的興趣。指著中國和澳大利亞的地圖讓學(xué)生自己根據(jù)教材內(nèi)容進(jìn)行總結(jié)其差異及各自季節(jié)特點(diǎn)。
Which month is the coldest / hottest in China / Australia?
Can Australians have snow on New Year’s Day?
反意疑問句
反意疑問句（The Disjunctive Question）又叫附加疑問句，它表示提問的人對所提的事有一定的看法，但沒有把握，需要對方來證實(shí)。反意疑問句由兩部分組成：前一部分是一個(gè)陳述句，表示提問者的看法。后一部分是一個(gè)簡短的附加疑問句，對前部分陳述句中所陳述的內(nèi)容提出疑問。反意疑問句后半部分的附加疑問句應(yīng)與前部分的陳述句在人稱以及時(shí)態(tài)上保持一致。反意疑問句的基本結(jié)構(gòu)有以下兩種：
1．陳述部分肯定式+疑問部分否定式？
2．陳述部分否定式+疑問部分肯定式？
例：They work hard, don’t they?
She was ill yesterday, wasn’t she?
You didn’t go, did you?
He can’t ride a bike, can he?
大多數(shù)反意疑問句的結(jié)構(gòu)是和上面所說的一樣，但也有些特殊的反意疑問句：
一、當(dāng)陳述部分的主語是I, everyone, everything, nobody等詞時(shí)，后面的附加疑問句一般這樣來表示：
1. I am a student, aren’t I ?
2. Everyone is in the classroom, aren’t they?
3. Everything begins to grow in spring, doesn’t it?
4. Nobody will go, will they?
二、當(dāng)陳述部分有never, seldom, hardly, few, little 等含有否定意義的詞語時(shí)，附加疑問句多用肯定式。如：
1. He has never been to(去過、到過) Nanchang, has he?
2. There are few apples in the basket, are there?
3. He can hardly swim, can he?
4. They seldom come late, do they?
三、當(dāng)陳述部分是I think加賓語從句時(shí)，后面的附加疑問句應(yīng)和賓語從句中的人稱和時(shí)態(tài)保持一致。如：
I think chickens can swim, can’t they?
I think Lucy is a good girl, isn’t she?
四、當(dāng)陳述部分有had better時(shí)，附加疑問句應(yīng)用hadn’t開頭。如：
You’d better get up early, hadn’t you?
五、當(dāng)陳述部分是祈使句時(shí)，附加疑問句部分有不同的形式，并多使用肯定來表示有禮貌的請求。如：
Let’s go out for a walk, shall we?
注意：Let us go out for a walk, will you?
Turn on the radio, will you?
六、反意疑問句的回答用yes或no，但是當(dāng)陳述部分是否定式，附加疑問句部分是肯定句時(shí)，答語中使用yes或no則應(yīng)根據(jù)事實(shí)來決定，事實(shí)是肯定的用yes，事實(shí)是否定的就用no。如：
They don’t work hard, do they? 他們工作不太努力，是嗎？
簡略回答：
Yes, they do. 不，他們工作努力。
No, they don’t. 是的，他們工作不努力。
另外，朗讀反意疑問句時(shí)要注意：前面的陳述部分通常用降調(diào)朗讀，而后面的附加疑問句部分則要根據(jù)說話人的口氣來定：如果是很客氣地要求對方回答，就用升調(diào)朗讀，如果只表示一種語氣上的強(qiáng)調(diào)，則用降調(diào)朗讀。
分析in, on 和at 的用法
表示年、月、季節(jié)、星期等用in: in a year / season / month / week / the morning / the afternoon / the evening /
They have four classes in the morning, and they have no classes in the afternoon.
表示日、日期、某一天的早晨、下午等用on: on a day / date, on Sunday / Saturday on Wednesday morning, on the evening of March 7th, 2002
It rained heavily on the evening of June 20th.
表示幾點(diǎn)、某個(gè)時(shí)刻用at：at eight / two / half past one / at this time yesterday / at this time of year / at that time / at present
He was watching TV at this time yesterday.
零介詞：this year, last time, next month, the next day，all the year round, all the day, the whole day等。
Their family are going to fly to London next month.
At 還有一些特殊的用法，如：at work, at table，at hand, at once, at last, at home, at the same time
at once 立刻
His father telephoned him to return home at once.
at hand 不遠(yuǎn)，快到
Autumn is nearly over. Winter is at hand.
at most 最多
He looks very old, but in fact he is forty at most.
日期的表達(dá)與詢問
日期表達(dá)
由于書寫習(xí)慣的不同，英語里日期的寫法也有差異。美國人習(xí)慣先說日期后說月份，英國人則習(xí)慣先說月份后說日期，但年份均是放在最后。書寫日期時(shí)，可用阿拉伯?dāng)?shù)字表示，也可用序數(shù)詞的縮略式（1st 、2nd 、4th ）表示，但是年份只能用阿拉伯?dāng)?shù)字。如1999年3月2日可表達(dá)為2 (nd) March, 1999（讀作the second of March, nineteen ninety-nine）或March 2(nd), 1999（讀作March the second, nineteen ninety-nine）。
日期詢問
1.幾月幾日的詢問方法
a. What’s the date (today)?
b. What was the date yesterday (last Monday…)?
其回答方式是：It’s (It was) …
2.星期幾的詢問方法
a. What day is today (tomorrow)?
b. What day is it today (tomorrow)?
c. What day of the week is it today?
這種句子中可用today, tomorrow等名詞作主語，也可用代詞it作主語。其回答方式是：It’s (It was) …
對話實(shí)例
A: What day is today?
B: It’s Sunday.
A: What was the date yesterday?
B: It was September 10th, Teachers’ Day.

Step 7 Exercises in class
Listening practice.
Listen to a story and try to answer the following questions.
Everybody talks about weather. “Isn’t it a nice day?” “Do you think it will rain?” I think it s going to snow. These are common ways of starting a conversation in England.
Many people think that they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But they hardly ever agree with each other. One man may say, “Do you see it is cloudy in the east? It’s going to rain tomorrow.” Another man will say, “Yes, it’s cloudy in the east. We’re going to have fine weather tomorrow.”
People often look for the weather they want. When farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell himself that it's going to rain. When people play in a park on a rainy day, they are sure that the weather is going to be fine soon. They even sit eating their lunch while it rains.
Most people listen to what the weatherman says on the radio. But he doesn’t always tell them what they want to hear. Sometimes he makes a mistake, but he is still right more often than anyone else.
Questions.
1. How do English people start a conversation?
2. Do many of them think they can tell what the weather is going to be like?
3. Why do they hardly agree with each other?
4. What kind of weather do people think it’s going to be if they go out to play in a park in the rain?
5. Who is right more often about the weather?

2.Yes, they do.
3. Because each of them is so sure of himself that only he knows about the weather.
