教材分析
教材内容：
本单元的标题为Unit 7 Will people have robots?第一课时Section A(1a-2d)，主要围绕“Talk about the future life谈论未来的生活”这一主题展开各种教学活动，并以这一主题引出一般将来时的肯定句，一般疑问句，否定句以及特殊疑问句等语言功能。本课时安排了许多贴近学生生活的活动，如谈论自己10年后的生活，假想100年后人们的生活，和人们生活环境的变化，通过这些活动，学生加强对目标语 言的理解，着重培养学生的口语交际的能力，在进行了大量的语言输入之后，通过多次的听力练习，着重培养学生听录音，做出相应的听力活动。活动和练习的形式灵活多样，既有客观性的口语训练，又有开放性的练习形式，从多角度对学生的语言技能进行训练；同时，进行相应的写作练习。本单元旨在创造一个轻松、愉快的学习、交流环境，通过听、说、读、写来培养学生综合运用这些知识的能力。并让学生能在“做中学”（learning by doing），通过有限的课堂实践活动，拓展以往的经历，能准确地用英语来表达。
2. 教材的地位及作用:
本单元围绕谈论未来的生活，学习使用一般将来时态。通过让学生们对自己理想生活（dream life）的描述，反复运用句型There will be more /less/ fewer…. 来激发他们使用本单元所学单词的兴趣。在上一个单元中已经学习过be going to的用法。所以这部分内容具有承上启下的作用。本单元是对一般将来时态的延伸。教材中提供的所有活动都以一般将来时时态为中心，通过一系列的听、说、读、写的训练，来加深对一般将来时时态的理解；本课时素材的中心话题是：在将来，人们的生活会怎么样（工作，居住的地方，生活质量，环境污染）。通过学生的阅读及写作，从而近一步提高学生学习英语的兴趣；同时，提高学生运用所学语言的综合能力。
