Leading in and warming-up
We learned both man-made and natural wonders yesterday and we also learned many new words to describe them and to show our feelings and experiences.
Let’s start by giving yours!
It could be either a natural wonder or a man-made one.
It depends on you.
After this, we will have a dictation.
Presentation
Below are some simple but
important words which are
so useful in reading and writing,
and of course, in this unit.
I will give you 3 minutes or so to prepare and will randomly pick up 2 to 4 pairs to interact with us.

More than 200 miles.
About fifteen miles, maybe more.
Nearly one mile.
Key words and expressions
1. arrive at/in≈get to≈reach
①You do not need to worry about the slight differences among these synonyms, nor do you have to distinguish between “arrive at” and “arrive in” (it’s really difficult to define what is “big” and what is “small”), as they will never be tested in an official exam.
②They have almost the same meaning, but please remember that both “arrive” and “get” are intransitive verbs (vi), while reach is a transitive one (vt).
Key words and expressions
1. arrive at/in≈get to≈reach
③Do not confuse the prepositions following “arrive” and “get”.
Examples:
They reached Beijing at nine. =
They arrived at/in Beijing at nine. =
They got to Beijing at nine.
④Always remember we do not use the preposition before an adverb.
Examples:
They reached here = They arrived here= They got there.
