B: What can he/she do A: He/She ... 形容词最高级的用法 Best Greatest The most talented Before reading (10 minutes) Today we will read a passage about talent. Task 1: What is talent Talent is a natural skill or ability that someone is born with. It means you're good at something, like drawing, playing sports, or solving puzzles, even if you haven’t practiced a lot yet. But to become really good, you still need to work hard and practice. Everyone has their own talents, and with effort, they can become even better at what they’re good at. 和talent有关的词汇:skill, ability Talent, skill和ability的区别:talent更多强调与生俱来的、未经过特别训练的潜在能力。skill则侧重于通过教育、训练和实践获得的、可以用来完成具体任务的能力。ability是一个更宽泛的概念,可以包括才能和技能,也可以指在某个领域或活动中表现出的总体水平。 Task 2: How many kinds of talents do you know Name a few. Drawing – Being able to create pictures easily. Singing – Having a beautiful voice for music. Running – Being able to run fast and for a long time. Math – Understanding numbers and solving problems quickly. Dancing – Moving your body to music in a special way. Writing – Telling stories or sharing ideas with words. Playing an instrument – Being able to make music, like playing the piano or guitar. Task 3: Can you name a few talented people you know from videos or other media During the reading (20 minutes) 文本分析 重点单词和短语: Talented - 形容词,表示“有才能的”。 Popular - 形容词,表示“受欢迎的”。 Performers - 名词,表示“表演者”。 Made up - 短语,表示“编造的”。 Dreams come true - 短语,表示“实现梦想”。 长难句分析: 句子: "They try to look for the best singers, the most talented dancers, the most exciting magicians, the funniest actors and so on." 分析: 这是一个复合句,使用了一系列最高级形容词来描述节目寻找的各类表演者。 最高级的不同形式 Best - 用于形容词“good”的最高级形式,如 "best singers"。 Most talented - 用于形容词“talented”的最高级形式,如 "most talented dancers"。 Most exciting - 用于形容词“exciting”的最高级形式,如 "most exciting magicians"。 Funniest - 用于形容词“funny”的最高级形式,如 "funniest actors"。 连词的使用 And - 用于连接并列的名词或形容词或句子,如 "singers, dancers, magicians, actors"。And the winner always gets a very good prize. However - 用于引出对比的句子,如 "However, not everybody enjoys watching these shows"。 But - 与 "however" 类似,用于引入对比,但 "but" 更常用于较为口语的语境。Everyone is good at something, but some people are truly talented. For example - 用于举例说明,如 "For example, some people say they are poor farmers, but in fact they are just actors"。 Please read the whole passage, and answer the following questions: Task 1: What do talent shows have in common Talent shows, such as American Idol, America's Got Talent, and China's Got Talent, share a common theme of searching for the best talents across various fields like singing, dancing, magic, acting, and more.

教学反思 1、学生在讨论和活动过程中的参与程度不高。一方面是同学们的害羞心理,另一方面是同学们的准备不足。要提醒同学们提前准备自己喜爱的才艺明星(不仅包括明星,其他领域亦可),收集相关资料,将他的故事讲给同学们听,并给出喜欢这位明星的理由。 2、不同国家都有自己的才艺展示节目,但是各自的文化背景不同,要提醒同学们收集多个国家的才艺展示节目,并了解这些节目和中国的有什么不同。 3、学生讨论才艺的真实性等话题时,除了要进行客观理性的讨论之外,还要引导学生形成正确的价值观和审美观。
