Activity 1: Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the question.
a.Eventually, it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.
b.The solution...comes at a time when it is in serious trouble.
c.Sadly, human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling.
What do “where”, “when” and “why” refer to in each sentence
“Where” refers to “the places” in sentence (a),
“when” refers to “a time” in sentence (b) and “why” refers to “the main reason” in sentence (c)
Activity 2: Compare the three groups of sentences and answer the questions.
a.Eventually, it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.
d.Eventually, it manages to reach those places. It will spend the winter there.
b. The solution to the mystery of the monarch’s amazing ability comes at a time when it is in serious trouble.
e. It is in serious trouble. The solution to the mystery of the monarch’s amazing ability comes at this time.
c. Sadly, human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling.
f. Sadly, human activity is the main reason. For this reason, the number of monarch butterflies is falling.
1 What’s the difference between the two groups of sentences
2 Why does the author choose to use sentences (a), (b) and (c) in the reading passage
1 Sentences (a), (b) and (c) contain a clause defining a noun or pronoun in the sentence. Sentences (d), (e) and (f) are constructed with a pair of simple sentences, with one defining a noun or pronoun in the other sentence in each pair.
2 Because there is a closer link and connection between the item and the clause defining it in sentences (a), (b) and (c). It will also make the passage clearer, and create an emphatic effect on the location,time and reason being defined.
Activity 3: Now look for more sentences with attributive clauses in the reading passage.
1. In many of the places where the butterfly can be found, people are destroying the natural environment.
2. If this works, there may come a time when the number of monarch butterflies increases once again.
3. They cut down trees and use chemicals that kill the plants which monarch caterpillars eat.
Activity 4:Work in groups. Explain the restrictive relative clauses with relative adverbs to your partner and give more examples.
1.when做时间状语=介词in/at/on/during/...+which
I will never forget the day when I first saw you.
= I will never forget the day on which I first saw you.
2.where做地点状语=介词in/at ...+which
where表示“地点的模糊化”，当先行词表示某人/某物的状况，或某事发展的阶段，或表达某事的某个方面时都可用关系副词where。常以point, case, position, condition为先行词。
After living in Beijing for 30 years, he returned to the small town where/in which he grew up.
3.why引导定语从句时，从句的先行词常为reason，why在句中做原因状语，相当于“介词for+which”结构。
Unsuccessful people can always find reasons why they’re not doing well.
Unsuccessful people can always find reasons for which they’re not doing well.
4.当关系代词在定语从句中作介词的宾语时，我们通常用“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句。如果指人，用“介词+whom”；如果指物，用“介词+which”；关系代词有时也可以用whose作定语。
The boss in whose company Mr. King worked heard about the accident.
This is the camera with which he often takes photo.
Activity 1: Read the passage and underline the words that where, when and why refer to.
目标二: To use attributive clauses with relative adverbs to describe animals.
In April 2017, two giant pandas from China arrived at a zoo in the Netherlands. There, they were welcomed to the Chinese-style compound（场地） where they were to live. On 30 May, after the preparations were complete, the day finally came when the pandas met their fans for the first time. People were excited – the zoo is the only place in the country where it is possible to see pandas. In fact, the last time there were pandas in the Netherlands was in 1987. And of course, the main reason why they were so excited is that pandas are just so cute!
Activity 2: Complete the email with where, when or why.

目标三：To understand and use animal idioms correctly.
Activity 1: Look at the pictures and complete the idioms with animal names. Try to explain the idioms.
1
2
4
3
5
1. as busy as a (n) _____
2. kill two ______ with one stone
3. When the cat’s away, the _____will play.
4. hold your ______
5. It’s raining ______ and ______.
bee
birds
mice
horses
dogs
cats
1 as busy as a bee—someone who is always working or busy doing something
2 kill two birds with one stone—solve two problems with one action
3 When the cat’s away, the mice will play—People do what they want and have fun when someone in authority is absent.
4 hold your horses—You should wait and be patient when you’re rushing into something.
5 It’s raining cats and dogs—It’s raining heavily.
Activity 2: Complete the paragraph with the animal idioms in Activity 1.
English idioms are a way of adding colour to the language. For example, instead of saying “It’s raining heavily”, you could say “1______________________”. Another reason to use idioms is that they are concise. For example, to describe someone who is always working or busy doing something, we can say they are 2 ______________. If they’re rushing into something and should wait and be patient, you could say “3______________”. Learning idioms can be fun, especially when we compare them to Chinese equivalents. Take, for example, “4___________________________________” (people do what they want and have fun when someone in authority is absent) and “5_______________________” (solve two problems with one action) – are there corresponding idioms in Chinese
It’s raining cats and dogs.
as busy as a bee
hold your horses
When the cat’s away, the mice will play.
kill two birds with one stone
Activity 3: Work in pairs.Find more animal idioms. Choose an idiom and describe a situation with it.
A:She’s as busy as a bee.
B:What makes you say that
...
Love me, love my dog.
Don’t ride the high horse.
Never offer to teach fish to swim.
Fine feathers make fine birds.
Can you give some examples to illustrate the use of relative adverbs
