Step 2 Reading
3a Read the passage and answer the following questions.
1. Did Nancy do any housework that day
 2. Why was Nancy’s mom angry with her
 3. Did they solve the problem How
3b. Read the story again and read the sentences below. Underline the sentences from
the reading that mean the same thing.
  1. Neither of us did any housework for a week.
  2. My mom came over as soon as I sat down in front of the TV.
  3. You’re tired, but I’m tired, too.
3c. Decide whether the underlined words in the sentences are verbs or nouns. Then
write another sentence using the underlined word in the other form.
1. Could you take the dog for a walk (noun)
2. Could I watch one show first
3. I can’t work all day.
4. You watch TV all the time.
5. “What happened ” she asked in surprise.
Step 3 Language points
1. You watch TV all the time and ...
 all the time(在该段时间内)一直;向来,一向;时时刻刻;每时每刻
e.g. I do this all the time. 我一直是这么做的。
   This happens all the time. 这种情况是时时发生的。
2. I’m just as tired as you are!
as ... as 意为 “和……一样”,表示同级的比较。使用时要注意第一个as为
副词,第二个as为连词。其基本结构为:as + adj./ adv. + as。
e.g. This film is as interesting as that one. 这部电影和那部电影一样有趣。
  Your pen writes as smoothly as mine. 你的钢笔书写起来和我的一样流畅。
as … as 的否定形式为 “not as/so + adj./adv. + as”。
e.g. He didn’t act as well as you. 他表现得不如你好。
3. For one week, she did not do any housework, and neither did I.
 neither 用作副词,作“也不”解释,放在句首,表示前面否定的内容也适用
于另一个人或物,句子须采用部分倒装。此时也可用nor替换 neither 使用。
例如:
— I don’t like this dress. 我不喜欢这件连衣裙。
— Neither / Nor do I. 我也不喜欢。
注意:neither 之后的主语要置于助动词或系动词之后。
   neither 用作代词,表示“两者都不,双方均不”。例如:
   He answered neither of the letters. 他两封信都没回。
   — Which one would you like 你喜欢哪一个?
   — Neither. 两个都不喜欢。
also, too, either, neither 的用法
(一) also 是比较正式的用语,语气较庄重。它通常放在句中,位于行为动词之
前,连系动词之后; 如有助动词或情态动词,一般放在助动词或情态动词
之后。例如:
  Peter also has two brothers. 彼得也有两个兄弟。
  I am also a student. 我也是一名学生。
  Mrs. Green can also sing the song in Chinese.
格林夫人也能用汉语唱这首歌。
(二) too 是普通用词,多用于口语,语气较随便。一般用在肯定句中,放在句
末。例如:
  I’m in Row 1, too. 我也在第一排。
注意:also和too一般都用于肯定句,很少用于否定句。
(三) either 表示“也”时,一般只用于否定句,且置于句末。例如:
  I don’t know him. Tom doesn’t know him, either.
  我不认识他,汤姆也不认识他。
  If you don’t go there, he won’t go there, either.
  如果你不去那儿,他也不会去那儿。
  注意:either 本身没有否定的意义。所以多与not连用。
(四) neither 表示“两个都不”,它作主语时,谓语动词常用单数。例如:
  Neither of you can do it. 你们两个都不能做这件事。
Step 4 Summary
1. New vocabulary
last month, come over, take the dog for a walk, watch one show
all the time, the next day, neither did I
2. The minute I sat down in front of the TV, my mom came over.
For one week, she did not do any housework, and neither did I.
I’m just as tired as you are!
Step 5 Homework
1. List all the main phrases of doing chores that you know. (必做)
2. Make a conversation between you and your mother, using the sentence pattern
“Could you please … Could I … ” (选做)
Section A 3 (Grammar Focus-4c)
Step 1 Revision
根据所学内容,写出下列短语。
fold one’s clothes, do the dishes, use one’s computer, take out the rubbish
make the bed, sweep the floor, stay out late, be angry with sb., take sb. for a walk
clean the living room, work on, come over, do the housework, get a ride
Step 2 Presentation
阅读下列句子,观察问句的用法及回答。
Could I go out for dinner with my friends Sure, that should be OK.
Could we get something to drink after the movie No, you can’t. You have a
basketball game tomorrow.
Could you please take the dog for a walk OK, but I want to watch one
show first.
Could you please take out the rubbish Yes, sure.
Step 3 Grammar
Could you(please)+ V-原形?表示委婉地提出请求
1. Could you please clean your room
Yes, sure. / Of course./ Certainly./All right.
2. Could you please do the dishes
Sorry, I can’t. I have to do my homework.
在表示请求帮助或请求允许的疑问句中,常用could代替can,以表示礼貌,委婉或不确定的语气,而can则不具备这些语气。这种情况下不能把could看作can的过去式。以上两句中用could是为了表示礼貌的请求。表示请求帮助或请求允许时,除了can, could之外,还可以用may,句子的表达方式也各有不同,可以用不同的方式来表示同一个概念。例:
① Could/Can/May I use your car for a day
② I wonder if I could use your car for a day
对于①、②句所作肯定回答可以各种各样,如同意可以说Yes或Sure或Certainly,还可说Yes, (do) please. 或Of course. (you may/can). 或Go ahead, please. 或That’s OK/all right; 如果不同意,可以说I’m sorry you can’t. 或I’m really sorry, but I have to use it today. 要避免说No, you can’t. 这样显得很不礼貌。否定回答通常用委婉语气。
③ Do you mind if I use your car for a day
对于句③所作回答可以说Never mind. /Not at all. 表“不介意”。不能用Yes. /Sure. /Of course. /Certainly.等。无论肯定还是否定应答中,要避免使用could,要用can或may。因为应答须用确定的语气。而could在表请求的问句中是为了表示礼貌或委婉语气,用在应答中则成了不确定语气,与情理不符。所以应答中不说Yes, you could. 或No, you couldn’t. 而要说Yes, you can. 或Sorry. /No, you can’t.
—Could I please use your computer
—Sorry, I’m going to work on it now.
—Well, could I watch TV
—Yes, you can.
Could I/you please …?表示一种有礼貌的请求或提议,其后连接动词原形,比Can you /I…?语气更委婉。类似句型有:
Would you like + sth. / to do sth.
May I + do sth.
Shall we + do sth.
Would you mind + sth. /doing sth.
What / How about + sth. /doing sth.
肯定回答有Sure. /Of course. / Certainly. /OK. /Great. / Well. / Good idea. / I agree. 等。否定回答有Sorry… / No, you can’t. 等。
Step 4 Practice
Make up dialogues using the sentences in Grammar Focus with your partner.

reading it last night.
d. Yes, but don’t come back too late.
e. No, I can’t. I cut my finger and I'm
trying not to get it wet.
Note:
borrow和lend
borrow和lend都有“借”的意思,但它们的含义和用法有所不同。
★ borrow表示“借入”,即把本来不属于自己的东西借来暂时使用,常与介词from连用。如:
You can borrow a book from the library.
★ lend表示“借出”,即把属于自己的东西借给别人暂时使用,常与介词to连用,也可以跟双宾语。如:
He’s going to lend his bike to Tom.
You mustn’t lend others my pen.
4b Fill in the blanks in the conversation.
A: I hate to ____ chores.
B: Well, I hate some chores too, but I like other chores.

 ( )Mr. Smith’s neighbors’ son looked after himself well during his first

2d. Write one sentence with each phrase from the letters.
Discuss the questions with partner.
Step 9 Language points
1. It is the parents’ job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for
their children.
此处代词it仅为形式上的主语, 真正的主语是to provide … for their children。
我们也可将It is one’s job (duty, …) to do something.视为一个固定的句型, 表示“做某事是某人的工作(职责等)”。如:
It’s every teacher’s job to explain things clearly to the students.
把东西给学生讲明白是每一位老师应做的事情。
provide 作动词,意为“提供;供应”。
provide sb. with sth.或provide sth. for sb.意为“为某人提供某物”。如:
The movie theater provides us with good service.
His school provided a house for him.
汉译英。
他们提供给他钱和衣服。
They provided him with money and clothes.
They provided money and clothes for him.
2. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult.
反正我觉得干点家务也不难。
anyway是一个副词, 若位于句首, 其后往往会有逗号将其与句子的其他内容
隔开。anyway在此句中的作用是追加评论, 相当于汉语的“反正;仍然;依
然”。如:
 Sam didn’t get the job, but he’s not unhappy because it didn’t pay well anyway.
 萨姆没有得到那份工作, 但他并没有闷闷不乐, 反正薪酬也不算高。
 anyway还可用来表示“不管怎样;无论如何”之意。例如:
It’s just a cold. But anyway, you should still see the doctor.
 这只不过是感冒, 但不管怎样, 你还是应该看看医生。
3. ill & sick
 ◆相同点
  ill 与sick 都可以表示“生病的”,都可作表语。如:
  Alice was ill / sick yesterday.
 ◆不同点
  表示“生病”时,sick可作定语,但ill通常不作定语。如:
  Could you help the sick girl
 【运用】根据句意,用ill或sick填空。
  (1) The driver sent the ________ baby to the hospital.
  (2) My brother is ________. I have to look after him at home.
4. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.
孩子们越早学会独立, 对他们的未来就越好。
“the+比较级+…, the+比较级+…”是英语中一个常用的句型结构, 表示
“越……, 就越……”。如:
 The more he explained, the better we understood.
 他解释得越多, 我们就理解得越透彻。
 Many people believe that the more a person reads, the wiser he will become.
 很多人相信一个人书读得越多就会变得越聪明。
Step 10 Exercise
I. 根据句意及所给首字母提示,补全句中所缺单词。

Step 1 Revision

Step 2 How to write a letter
1. 信头:发信人地址和日期。
这部分中有时可省去发信人地址,但一般要写日期。放在信纸的右上方。
2. 称呼:对收信人的尊称。
最普通的是Dear,但与Mr,Mrs,Miss等不同的是:Dear后一般用名字,而
Mr,Mrs,Miss后不能单独用名字,而只能是姓或姓与名,比如:对John Smith
的称呼,应该是Mr Smith,Mr John Smith或 Dear John.称呼后面可用逗号或、者冒号。
3. 信的正文。
4. 结尾:发信人对收信人的谦称或敬语。放在信的右下方。
这部分要特别注意英语习惯,不可根据汉语意思写上诸如“此致敬礼”、“祝
您健康”之类的中国式的结尾语。常用的英语书信 ( http: / / zw.5ykj.com / " \t "_blank )结尾语如下:
写给同龄人或年长的朋友:Yours sincerely,Sincerely yours,Yours等等。
写给好朋友:Love,With love,Best wishes等等。
写给亲戚:Love,With love,Affectionately yours,Your (ever) loving son(sister等等)。

感谢:Thank you for your wonderful gift / your interesting letter.
关心与询问:How are you these days?/ How are you getting on these days?/ How are you getting on with your work/studies?
抱歉:I am sorry that I did not write to you sooner but I have been very busy these
days.
一般在表示道歉没有及时给对方写信时,还要简述原因或写上安慰的话。
遗憾:I was sorry to learn that you did not do well in the examination. / I was so upset to hear that you are ill these days. I do hope you are getting better.
