Suggested answers :
loneliness; willingness; responsibility; fairness ; equality; poverty
killer; representative; suffering; really; absolutely; successfully
Step 3 Word Study
T: Well, now please open your books at Page 69. Look at tile first part in Word study: Complete the sentences with the words in brackets. Change their forms if necessary. First, let's study the example. Now please complete each sentence and discuss your answers with your partner. At the end, we'll check the answers together.
Suggested answers :
1. killer 2.alarming 4. citizen 5. responsibility 6. representatives 7. suffering 8. willingness
T: Now, let's do the second part. First, you should study the words in the box carefully. Then put them into two categories. At the end, state your reasons.
Suggested answers:
Adverbs: really, unfortunately, absolutely, especially, successfully
Adjectives: lonely, lively, ugly, lovely, friendly
Step 4 Presentation
(Teacher shows the following sentences)
1. Conferences like the Earth Summit help people understand that there exist serious problems and that there is still time to take action.2. Among the speakers was Chinas then Premier Zhu Rongji, who stressed the need for equality and fairness in the world.3. Not until we know more will we be able to improve the situation.4. Only by changing the way we live can we save the earth.5. Had I known that air conditioners cause so much pollution, I would never have bought one.6. A better understanding of the environment is necessary, as is the willingness to act.7. Without international cooperation, developing countries cannot prosper, nor will sustainable development be possible.
T: Now, please look at the sentences and pay attention to the word order of each sentence. In what way are these sentences different from the usual sentences
Ss: The word order is not “Subject + Verb” but “Verb + Subject” or “Auxiliary/ Modal + S + V”.
(Teacher writes the structures on the Bb.)
T: Yes. This kind of sentence is called Inversion, which happens in questions and in a number of other cases. Look at the sentences carefully again, paying attention to the underlined words. In the first sentence, “exist” is used after “there” to express a state for existence like “there be” structure; the second sentence begins with a preposition phrase. In these two sentences, the whole predicate verb comes before the subject. The third sentence begins with a negative adverb; in the fourth sentence, “only” is placed at the beginning of the sentence with an adverbial. In these two sentences, part of the predicate comes before the subject. In most cases, an auxiliary verb or a modal verb comes before the subject and the rest of the predicate verb comes after. If there is no auxiliary or modal, do, does or did should be added. Can you understand
Ss: Yes.
T: Then look at the fifth sentence and change it into another sentence with the same meaning, which begins with “if”.
Ss: If I had known that air conditioners cause so much pollution, I would never have bought one.
T: Quite right. In some special forms of unreal conditional clauses, when “if” is left out, part of the predicate like had, should, were should conies before the subject. That is to say, inversion can be used instead of “if”. Are you clear about that
Ss : Yes.
T: Next, look at the last two sentences, To avoid repetition,“as” and “ nor” are placed at the beginning of the sentences which say that people(or thing or situation) are the same as others that have been mentioned. In this case, the structure “as/nor+ auxiliary/modal/do(does, did) + subject” should be used. Besides,“neither” and “so” can be used like “nor”and “as”. Is that clear
(Bb: as/so; neither/nor + aux./mod. / do( does. did) + subject )
T: OK. Now，let's change them into the usual word order sentences.
Ss: It is a special sentence pattern like“ There be” structure. “exist” can only come after “there”.
T: Yes. Sit down, please. Then the next sentence.
Ss: China's then Premier Zhu Rongji was among the speakers, who stressed the need for equality and fairness in the world.
S3: We will not be able to improve the situation until we know more.
S4: We can save the earth only by changing the way we live.
S5: If I had known that air conditioners cause so much pollution, I would never
have bought one.
S6: A better understanding of the environment is necessary, and the willingness to act is necessary, too.
S7: Without international cooperation, developing countries can't prosper. Sustainable development will not be possible either.
Step 5 Grammar Practice
T: Well, now please turn to Page 70. Look at the first part ,Grammar: Rewrite the following sentences, beginning with the underlined part. First study the example, and then complete each sentence below. A few minutes later, I'll check your work. Begin now.
T: All right. Now let's come to the second plete the following sentences
using the words in the box: so, neither, nor, as.
Suggested answers:
1. so/as have 2. neither/nor should 3. so/as do 4. so/as am 5. neither/nor do
6. so/as is 7. neither/nor 8. neither/nor can 9. so/as can
T: From these sentences, we know the verb-form after “so, neither, nor, as”should be the same as the verb-form after the first subject. The person and number should agree with its own subject.

Teaching Procedures：
Step 1. Lead- in
T: Hello, everybody! As we all know, the earth is the only hoe of all creatures. Do you think it is beautiful Yes. I agree with you. Can you name some places of interest in the world Quite right. We have a lot of places of interest: the Great Wall, the West Lake, Zhangjiajie, Jiuzhaigou and so on. Do you think it is necessary and important for man to protect the earth Yes, of course. Have you ever thought that the earth is also very dirty, .very ugly Believe it or not, the earth is getting dirtier and dirtier. Look at the pictures in page 65,please
Step 2 Warming up
T: Now tell me what you can see in the pictures
But now the earth is being seriously polluted; the trees are being cut down; green hills are becoming less and less. The leaves are falling off the trees. Also, different smokes and fogs are polluting the air. Besides, waste water from factories and plants are dirtying the water, too. Lakes and rivers are no longer safe for fishes, what’s worse, the oceans are being polluted too! As a result people no longer enjoy a happy life as before. The earth is in danger!
Rivers have been polluted, rubbish is everywhere, factory chimneys have given off too much smoke causing lots if avid rain all over the world, which has damaged not only crops, but also plants. Besides, men himself also have done a great dead of harm to the environment.
OK. According to the pictures, answer the following questions
1. What is the biggest problem facing the earth Why do you think so
I think water pollution is the most serious problem facing the earth because we need clean drinking eater to survive and because animals and plants must have clean water, too.” If water is polluted. People will not be able to get clean water to drink; therefore, many people will get sick, It’s terrible.
2. What causes the problems
I think it is because people pay no attention to our environment. They pour water into rivers, lakes and seas without cleaning it
The air pollution is caused by the factories. People build factories to develop the industry, but they never pay attention to controlling the pollution. The harmful smoke should be made harmless before it goes into the air, but few factories would like to d so because this will cost much.
3. What can we do to solve the problem
I think our government should pay more attention to environmental protection, They should check the factories as often as possible to make sure they don’t pour waste water into rivers or lakes and make sure they don’t let harmful smoke go into the air.
4…What do you expect to learn in this unit
I expect to learn more about the problems facing the earth and what we can do to solve the problems. or I expect to learn words that I can use to talk about nature, ecology and the environment
5 How will you use what you have learnt in your own life
I will use the words and expressions I’ve learnt to discuss the isssues in the unit with my classmates .or I will use what I have learnt about the environment to change my behaviour.

Ｔ: Today we are here to decide whether we should burn the coal. Please tell us whatever you think.
Ｓ１: I think we should burn the coal. Because we need to develop our area. We must make sure that our citizens have jobs and that our children can get good education. As a businessman, I understand the importance of economic development. It’s clear that we need energy and money to make our lives better. The coal is our only chance. We must use it.
Ｓ２: But burning coal causes too much pollution to our environment. I t pollutes the air badly. If nothing is done to stop its pollution to our earth, then we will have no fresh air to breathe .
Ｓ３：Yes, I quite agree, I think we shouldn’t burn the coal now. It would be better if we spend more money on science to find a better way of using the coal. Once we know how to burn it without polluting the environment, we can make full use of it.
S4: That sounds quite reasonable, but it’s clear that if we want develop our area as soon as possible, we need money. How can we get money We can only burn the coal to make factories work to make the money. If we stop using the coal now, how shall we continue our production and development …
Ｓ５：OK. All that you say are reasonable. I believe that we must try our best to find a better way to use the coal. Meanwhile, we must make sure that the factories which burn the coal take measures to stop polluting the environment.
