Skill Builder
Suggested Answers
General idea: While the Internet can bring people closer together, it can also harm friendships.
The topic sentence for each argument:
Argument 1: Firstly, talking online is no replacement for face-to-face contact.
Argument 2: Secondly, the Internet can make people self-centred.
Argument 3: Thirdly, online relationships may not be what they appear to be.
Activity 2: Read the two blogs carefully. Complete the information of the diagram.
Negative
aspects
Argument 1
Topic sentence:
Supporting details:
Firstly, talking online is no replacement for face-to-face contact.
Images really cannot replace a real-life smile or municating through a screen makes it more difficult for children to concentrate or show kindness to others.
Argument 2
Secondly, the Internet can make people self-centred.
Instead of having proper conversations with their friends, some people are only concerned with their online popularity. In addition, a lot of the content posted on social media is shallow or trivial.
Argument 3
Thirdly, online relationships may not be what they appear to be.
Friendships are built on the basis of trust, and with online communication you can never be 100 percent sure that the people you are chatting to are being honest about who they are.
Positive
aspects
Argument 1
Topic sentence:
Supporting details:
Firstly, the Internet makes communication much more convenient.
You can stay in touch with friends no matter where you are or what you are doing.
Argument 2
Secondly, the Internet has also made communication more fun.
You can share photos, videos, news stories and websites with your friends online.
Argument 3
Thirdly, online communication can actually bring people closer to each other
Whenever someone needs help, friends from all over the world can immediately provide useful suggestions or information. This makes friends feel loved and cared for.
Activity 3: Choose one position. Each member of the group presents one argument to support your position based on the notes taken.
Divide students into groups of four, each group choose one position: “The Internet Helps Friendships” or “The Internet Harms Friendships”.
Activity 4: Read the two blog posts again. Identify what methods the writers used. Find examples from the text.
Here are five methods writers often use to support their arguments:
a citing ideas from experts or authorities
b giving examples
c using data
d referring to common knowledge
e using comparison and contrast

1. The word “these” refers to social skills, like concentrating or showing kindness to others.
2.Online communication is a solution when there are difficulties with face-to-face communication, i.e. people live far apart (and are friends or have common interests), a person suffers from social anxiety and may find it easier to talk to people online, etc.
Activity 6: Are there any other advantages or disadvantages of online friendships If so, list then below.

Lesson 3 (Ⅱ)
Internet and Friendships
目标三：To learn about and practise compound words
Activity 1: Identify language points that you want to share with your partner. Discuss in groups and then share with the class.
1. Do you think the Internet helps or harms friendships 你认为互联网有助于友谊还是有害于友谊？
harm vt.& n. 伤害，损害
【归纳拓展】
※ do harm to 对……有害
※ There is no harm in doing sth 做某事是个好主意(或没有坏处)
※ harmful adj.有害的
be harmful to 对……有害
2. It is these skills that enable us to develop lifelong friendships.
正是这些技能才使我们能保持终生的友谊。
【句式剖析】句中“It is...that”为强调句型。其基本结构为“It is/was＋被强调部分＋that/who＋其他成分”，本句中被强调部分为these skills。
【用法总结】
(1)强调句型的基本结构：It is/was＋被强调部分＋that/who＋句子其他部分。
e.g. But rules alone don’t secure an orderly society. It is the people who obey the rules that (who) matter.
但是制度本身不能保证一个有序的社会，遵守规则的人才是重要的。
(2)一般疑问句的强调句型：Is/Was it＋被强调部分＋that/who＋句子其他部分？
e.g. Was it three years ago that he went to America for further study
他是三年前去美国深造的吗？
(3)特殊疑问句的强调句型：疑问词(被强调部分)＋is/was＋it＋that＋句子其他部分？
e.g. When was it that you got promoted？你是什么时候升职的？
(4)not...until...结构的强调句型：It is/was not until...that...
e.g. It was not until near the end of the letter that she mentioned her own plan.
直到将近信的结尾她才提及了自己的计划。
注意：
(1)在强调句型中It本身没有实际意义，但不能被其他词代替；被强调部分可以是主语、宾语和状语等；被强调部分指人时，可用that/who，其他情况一律用that。
(2)判断是否是强调句型的方法：把It is/was和that去掉，看句子的结构及语意是否完整，若完整，则为强调句型；若不完整，则不是。
3. For example, instead of having proper conversations with their friends, some people are only concerned with their online popularity—How many “likes” did I get 例如，一些人不再和朋友进行有效地交谈，他们只关心自己网上的人气——我得了多少个“赞”？
concerned adj. 关切的，关心的
be concerned with 关心……
【归纳拓展】
※ as/so far as sb/sth be concerned 在某人看来，就某人/某事而言
※ be concerned about/for 对……担心/担忧/焦虑/关心/挂念
※ concern oneself with/about sth 关心某事，担心某事
4. In my opinion, friends should focus more on face-to-face communication, and less on online communication. 在我看来，朋友们应该更多地关注面对面的交流，少关注在线交流。
focus vi. 给予某物关注 n. 焦点
focus on 关注
【归纳拓展】
※ focus one’s attention/eyes/energy on 集中注意力/目光/精力于……
※ the focus of attention 关注的焦点
※ in focus 焦点对准的；清晰的
※ out of focus 焦点没对准的；不清晰的

Let’s say what “compound word” is
A compound word is two words that are joined together to create a new meaning, e.g. butter and fly becomes butterfly.
一、复合词的书写形式
1．一般情况下在词与词之间要加连字符号，如：good-looking 好看的， sea-sick晕船的，world-famous闻名世界的，seven-year-old七岁的， three-hour三小时的，等等。
2．有些复合词已经完全融为一体，不用加连字符号，如：textbook教科书， schoolmate校友， spokesman发言人， salesgirl女售货员， notebook笔记本， greenhouse温室， breakthrough突破， download下载，policewoman女警察，等等。
3．还有一些情况直接用词组的形式，如：air conditioner空调机，clothes shop服装店，alarm clock闹钟，girl student女学生，等等。
二、复合形容词的构成方法
1．名词＋形容词，如：oil-rich含油量多的， duty-free免税的，care-free无忧无虑的， homesick想家的，等等。
2．形容词＋形容词，如：bitter-sweet又苦又甜的， light-green浅绿色的， dark-brown深棕色的， freezing-cold寒冷的，等等。
3．名词＋现在分词，如：trouble-making制造麻烦的，law-breaking犯法的， painstaking费力的， time-consuming耗时的， peace-loving热爱和平的， labor-saving省力的，等等。
4．名词＋过去分词，如：man-made人造的， poverty-stricken贫困的， heart－broken伤心的， snow-covered被雪覆盖的， 等等。
5．形容词＋现在分词，如： good-looking好看的， easy-going随和的，nice-sounding好听的，等等。
6．形容词＋过去分词，这里的过去分词大多是名词加-ed构成的假分词，如：new-born刚出生的， simple-minded头脑简单的， kind-hearted心地善良的，black-eyed黑眼睛的，等等。
7．数词＋名词(＋形容词)，如：four-hour四小时的，100-metre一百米的， four-day为期四天的， five-year-old五岁的，等等。
8．副词＋现在分词，如：ever-lasting持续的， far-reaching深远的，oncoming迎面而来的，outgoing外向的，等等。
9．副词＋过去分词，如：well-known著名的， newly-built新建的， over-loaded超载的，outspoken直言不讳的，等等。
10．由其他词类或结构转化而来， 如：once-a-week每周一次的，all-round全方位的， round-the-clock二十四小时的， full-time全职的，second-hand二手的，follow-up后继的，等等。
三、复合名词的构成方法
1．加连字符，如：baby-sitter看孩子的人，letter-box信箱，first-aid急救，X-ray X射线，father-in-law岳父，cross-talk相声，等等。
2．不加连字符，如：haircut理发，repairman修理工，outbreak爆发，outcome结果，outlook前景，rainbow彩虹，等等。
3．以词组形式出现，如：bank account银行账户，birth control节制生育，blood pressure血压，book case书柜，bus stop公共汽车站， credit card信用卡，generation gap代沟，greenhouse effect温室效应，heart attack心脏病发作，pen friend笔友，pocket money零用钱，post office邮局，sign language手语，mother tongue母语， 等等。
四、复合动词的构成方法
1．副词＋动词，如：off-load卸车，outgrow长得太大不适宜，overhear无意中听到，oversleep睡过头，overlook忽略，update更新，download下载，等等。
2．其他形式：broadcast广播，withdraw撤退，skateboard用滑板滑行，等等。
五、复合副词和复合介词的构成方法
1．复合副词：afterwards后来， alongside与……并肩，outside外面，indoors室内，nowadays如今，meanwhile同时， maybe可能，nevertheless仍然(还)，sideways向一侧地，等等。
2．复合介词：within在……之内，without没有，onto到……上，into进入，upon在……之上， behind在……之后，等等。
六、构成复合词时要注意以下几点
1．由数词＋名词(＋形容词)构成形容词时，名词不用复数，如：a nine-year-old boy 一个九岁的男孩，a four-day trip 一次四天的旅行，the 100-metre dash 百米赛跑， an 800-metre-long bridge一座八百米长的桥， 等等。
2．由形容词＋名词-ed构成的形容词，该名词必须是中心词的一部分，否则不加-ed, 如： a white-haired woman 一个白头发的妇女， a warm-hearted girl一个热心肠的女孩，a near-sighted boy 一个眼睛近视的男孩，two middle-aged men 两个中年男人，等等。
3．由形容词＋分词构成的合成形容词，要注意中心词与分词的主动或被动关系，例如：an ordinary-looking man 一个相貌平常的男人，an easy-going man 一个随和的人，fresh-baked bread 刚烤的面包，ready-made goods 现成的货物，等等。
4．由副词＋分词构成的合成形容词，副词是修饰分词的状语，用现在分词还是过去分词是由它与中心词的主动或被动关系而定，如：hard-working people 勤劳的人们，bravely-fighting soldiers 勇敢战斗的战士，a well-known singer 一个有名的歌唱家，the newly-married couple那对新婚夫妇，等等。
Activity 3: Use words from the last activity to complete the following summary.
Some people believe that the Internet has many negative aspects. Talking to people 1________ or having a 2________ with someone you only talk to on the Internet isn't a replacement for 3________ communication. While it can connect you with other people who use a 4__________, face-to-face contact with others is important to help you maintain healthy relationships. This argument is thought-provoking because it shows that people still need face-to-face communication with others today. In addition, spending too much time on the Internet can make you 5__________ because you can become obsessed with popularity and gaining followers. Finally, you need to be careful with various 6________ because you can never be 100 7________ sure that 8________ you read online is true.

Suggested Answer
一般过去时表示说话前发生过动作或存在过状态，属于说话者回过头叙述的事情。
过去将来时表示从过去的某一时间来看将要发生的动作或呈现的状态，属于说话者立足于过去去叙述以后的事情
一般过去时只用动词的过去式表示，过去将来时有多种表示方式，常用到的如 would do，was/were going to do，was/were about to do，was/were to do.
各种形式的过去将来时常用于宾语从句和间接引语中，would do还可以表示过去的习惯性动作。
