T: Let’s review the grammar: past participles. They include 2 groups, regular verb forms and irregular verb forms. First turn to page 60 and recite the past participles listed at the bottom of the page. After that, finish off the exercises Grammar in Use on page 59.
The teacher can use the method：“CATCH THIS IF YOU CAN” to practice the past participles. It is a good form to review what they learnt and at the same time to inspire their passion to learn English，which will make the class lively and lovely.
Purpose: To increase students’ use of simple sentences, to practice numbers, months, or days.
Skills: Listening and speaking
Materials: list of verbs and nouns and a sock or scarves knotted into a “ball”.
Procedure：1. Place the list of verbs and nouns on the blackboard – for example, verbs such as “like, eat, buy, see, and write” and nouns such as “apple, rice, watermelon, cake, and book”.
2. Have students stand in a large circle facing each other.
3. The teacher begins by calling out a verb (for example-eat) and tossing the ball to any student.
4. The student must catch the ball and respond in the first person by saying, “I have eaten (an apple)” or “I have eaten (cake)”or any other appropriate noun.
5.The student then say a verb (for example - drive) and throw the ball to someone else who must catch the ball and respond appropriately in the first person with an appropriate sentence (for example – I have driven a bus).
6. Continue with this pattern until the students feel comfortable with it and can say the sentences confidently.
Variation 1: Once the students demonstrate their ability with one type of sentence, you can modify the drill in any number of ways – by shifting into past tense (I ate an apple, I drove a car), or past participle (I have driven for 10 years) or future tense (I will drive a car) or by changing the pronouns.
Variation 2: This drill can also be used to practice the names of the months and numbers. The teacher begins by throwing the ball and calling out “Today is …”

What is necessary to learn English well
Learning English requires action. You may know all the learning tips, but if you don't start doing things, you will achieve nothing. The fact is, if you want to learn to speak English well, you must change your life. Here are some examples of things you will have to do:
1. Read a book in English for an hour every day, analyzing the grammar in sentences and looking up words in an English dictionary
2. Listen to an audio book or other recording in English, stopping it frequently, trying to understand what is being said, and trying to imitate the speaker's pronunciation
3. Spend your afternoon practicing the pronunciation of the English "r" sound
4. Carefully write an e-mail message in English, using a dictionary or a Web search every 20 seconds to make sure every word is correct, and taking 5 minutes to write one sentence
5. Think about an English sentence you've read, wondering if it could say "a" instead of "the" in the sentence, and trying to find similar sentences on the Web to find out the answer
6. Walk down the street and build simple English sentences in your head (talking to yourself in English about the things you see around you)
What kind of person would do all these crazy things Only one kind, the kind of person who enjoys doing them. If you want to learn to speak English well, you're going to have to become that person. You cannot hate doing these things. Have you ever heard of a person who became successful by doing something he hated
The problem with learning and teaching English as a foreign language is that all English learners want to speak English well; however, most learners don't want to spend time on learning English on their own. (This is probably why they sign up for English classes and hope their teacher will force knowledge into their heads.)
This lack of motivation means that learners basically don't spend their own time on learning English, and if they do, they don't do it regularly. For example, a typical learner might study English phrasal verbs for 12 hours before an English exam. However, he will not read a book in English for 30 minutes every day. He just doesn't feel that learning English is pleasant enough, so he will only do it if he has to. The problem is that a huge one-time effort gives you nothing, while small, everyday activities will give you a lot.
If you are one of those learners and don't feel like practicing the pronunciation of the "r" sound or thinking about English sentences every day, we have news for you: You're going to have to make yourself want to do these things. In other words, you'll have to work on your motivation. Fortunately, there are proven techniques to help you with that.
How to love learning English
Your motivation
Before you start reading, you should know this: Learning English requires action. You may know all the learning tips, but if you don't start doing things, you will achieve nothing. Therefore our method is not just for reading; it is for reading and doing.
You need two things to learn English well — passion and effective learning methods — and passion is the more important one. Why Because passion makes you want to learn English; the learning methods only tell you how to do it faster.
If you love learning English
You will do it regularly and spend more time on it.
Learning English will be easier for you. It will be easy for you to remember new words and grammar structures. It's because the brain easily remembers information on a subject that you like. (For example, some people like history and know everything about World War II. If you told a "normal person" to memorize all these facts, they would never do it.)
We know you may not love learning English. And even if you love it, you will sometimes not want to do it. This is how human psychology works — sometimes we are so lazy, bored, and tired that we don't want to do even the things that we like.
Here is what you can do when you don't feel like learning English
Imagine yourself in the future
Imagine you can talk to native speakers just like you talk in your first language. Imagine other people wanting to speak English as well as you do. Imagine the possibility of writing e-mail to people from all over the world.
You should know that it is possible to learn English really well. Just look at other people who have done it.
Remember that you are already good
You already know some English (you're reading an article in English right now). That's a big success! Now it's time for more successes. Time to start using powerful methods of effective learning. Time to gain an impressive knowledge of English.
Remember there is a lot that you don't know
You are good, but your English probably isn't perfect. You probably can't understand English-language TV, read books in English, talk to native speakers easily, write letters without mistakes, etc.
You should never think your English is perfect. Even if you are the best student in your class, always try to find your weak areas and work on them. When you've learned to speak English well, your problems will be quite small: punctuation, rarely used grammar structures, rare words, understanding "street language". Right now, your problems are probably more basic: mistakes in pronunciation, small vocabulary, and grammar problems with the present perfect tense and conditional structures.
Use your English whenever you can
This is very, very important. The more you use English, the more you will want to learn it.
Because English is so popular, you can use it everywhere. You can use Yahoo to find English-language websites with interesting information, you can watch American cartoons, you can play adventure games on your computer, you can read interesting books in English, or you can do other things that we write about.
If you do these things, you will not only have fun and learn English. If you see that a new English word lets you understand your favorite TV show (or communicate with people, or beat a computer game), you will want to learn more words. So you will learn English more, use it more, learn it more, use it more... If you also use effective learning methods, your English will grow faster than you can imagine.

Then, I took my handbag and hurried to the station. But when I got to the bookstore, I suddenly realized that I had forgotten to lock my door! What should I do I thought of returning, but it’s a long way. Then I tried to call my neighbor. Think what happened.
S: You neighbor helped you.
T: Yes, you’re right. But try to think: he has no key at all. How could he
S: Your neighbor called your family members
T: Great! So you see, when we are in trouble, a phone call may be of great use, right
Show the students the following pictures on the slide.
HYPERLINK "http://p./showzsou.php n=25&keyword=%B4%F2%B5%E7%BB%B0&page=1&total=13202&sinatotal=6" \t "_blank" HYPERLINK "http://p./showzsou.php n=30&keyword=打电话&page=&total=13202&sinatotal=6&ftn" INCLUDEPICTURE "http://pic3./img id=300073f37920f53d97e&fg=0" \* MERGEFORMATINET HYPERLINK "http://p./showzsou.php n=26&keyword=打电话&page=&total=13202&sinatotal=6&ftn" INCLUDEPICTURE "http://pic3./img id=3006f8daef2028bac35&fg=0" \* MERGEFORMATINET

T: You’re quite right. Making phone calls in English is not as easy as in Chinese. But, it may help us practice English, do you agree
S: Of course.
T: Next we’ll listen to a phone conversation. Let’s listen and find out what the point is.
Step II Listening
Ask the students to listen to the conversation and answer the questions given to have a basic idea of this text.

Play the tape recorder, get the students to repeat after it, and then ask some pairs to act out the conversation.
Step III Reading and discussing
Ask the students to read the dialogue again and find the differences in making telephone calls in Chinese and English.
T: Please look through the text and discuss the following questions:
1. The differences in making telephone calls in Chinese and English.
2. How to express language difficulties when you making phone calls
Ask the students to discuss in groups of four. After the discussion, ask the students to give their answers.
S1: In Chinese, when we make phone calls, we always say: Are you … Who are you I am ….
S2: But in English, they always say: May I speak to …. This is … speaking. Who is it / this / that Is this / that … speaking
T: Wonderful! So when you make phone calls in English, you should follow the ways in this text. Remember Chinglish (中国式英语) is not encouraged. Well, next question
S: We can express those in the following ways:
1. I am sorry, I can’t follow you. Please say that again.
2. Pardon Please speak more slowly.
T: Great! Now suppose you want to call your friend, but he isn’t near the phone. His mother answers the phone. Work in pairs and prepare for this conversation.
Several minutes later, ask some pairs to act out their dialogues in class.

S1: Hello, may I please speak to Jack
S2: Hold on, please. (One minute later.) Sorry he isn’t in now. Can I take a message for you

One is in China; the other one is in America. Try to use the expressions in this lesson. Use your rich imagination; you can create any situation you’d like.
Give the students enough time to make up their dialogues and later ask some of them to act out their dialogues.
Sample dialogue:
S1: Hello, may I speak to Mary.
S2: This is Mary speaking. Is that you, Li Hua
S1: Yes, this is.

The teacher can use the method：“CATCH THIS IF YOU CAN” to practice the past participles. It is a good form to review what they learnt and at the same time to inspire their passion to learn English，which will make the class lively and lovely.
Purpose: To increase students’ use of simple sentences, to practice numbers, months, or days.
Skills: Listening and speaking
Materials: list of verbs and nouns and a sock or scarves knotted into a “ball”.
Procedure：1. Place the list of verbs and nouns on the blackboard – for example, verbs such as “like, eat, buy, see, and write” and nouns such as “apple, rice, watermelon, cake, and book”.
2. Have students stand in a large circle facing each other.
3. The teacher begins by calling out a verb (for example-eat) and tossing the ball to any student.
4. The student must catch the ball and respond in the first person by saying, “I have eaten (an apple)” or “I have eaten (cake)”or any other appropriate noun.
5.The student then say a verb (for example - drive) and throw the ball to someone else who must catch the ball and respond appropriately in the first person with an appropriate sentence (for example – I have driven a bus).
6. Continue with this pattern until the students feel comfortable with it and can say the sentences confidently.
Variation 1: Once the students demonstrate their ability with one type of sentence, you can modify the drill in any number of ways – by shifting into past tense (I ate an apple, I drove a car), or past participle (I have driven for 10 years) or future tense (I will drive a car) or by changing the pronouns.
Variation 2: This drill can also be used to practice the names of the months and numbers. The teacher begins by throwing the ball and calling out “Today is …”

What is necessary to learn English well
Learning English requires action. You may know all the learning tips, but if you don't start doing things, you will achieve nothing. The fact is, if you want to learn to speak English well, you must change your life. Here are some examples of things you will have to do:
1. Read a book in English for an hour every day, analyzing the grammar in sentences and looking up words in an English dictionary
2. Listen to an audio book or other recording in English, stopping it frequently, trying to understand what is being said, and trying to imitate the speaker's pronunciation
3. Spend your afternoon practicing the pronunciation of the English "r" sound
4. Carefully write an e-mail message in English, using a dictionary or a Web search every 20 seconds to make sure every word is correct, and taking 5 minutes to write one sentence
5. Think about an English sentence you've read, wondering if it could say "a" instead of "the" in the sentence, and trying to find similar sentences on the Web to find out the answer
6. Walk down the street and build simple English sentences in your head (talking to yourself in English about the things you see around you)
What kind of person would do all these crazy things Only one kind, the kind of person who enjoys doing them. If you want to learn to speak English well, you're going to have to become that person. You cannot hate doing these things. Have you ever heard of a person who became successful by doing something he hated
The problem with learning and teaching English as a foreign language is that all English learners want to speak English well; however, most learners don't want to spend time on learning English on their own. (This is probably why they sign up for English classes and hope their teacher will force knowledge into their heads.)
This lack of motivation means that learners basically don't spend their own time on learning English, and if they do, they don't do it regularly. For example, a typical learner might study English phrasal verbs for 12 hours before an English exam. However, he will not read a book in English for 30 minutes every day. He just doesn't feel that learning English is pleasant enough, so he will only do it if he has to. The problem is that a huge one-time effort gives you nothing, while small, everyday activities will give you a lot.
If you are one of those learners and don't feel like practicing the pronunciation of the "r" sound or thinking about English sentences every day, we have news for you: You're going to have to make yourself want to do these things. In other words, you'll have to work on your motivation. Fortunately, there are proven techniques to help you with that.

Before you start reading, you should know this: Learning English requires action. You may know all the learning tips, but if you don't start doing things, you will achieve nothing. Therefore our method is not just for reading; it is for reading and doing.
You need two things to learn English well — passion and effective learning methods — and passion is the more important one. Why Because passion makes you want to learn English; the learning methods only tell you how to do it faster.
If you love learning English
You will do it regularly and spend more time on it.
Learning English will be easier for you. It will be easy for you to remember new words and grammar structures. It's because the brain easily remembers information on a subject that you like. (For example, some people like history and know everything about World War II. If you told a "normal person" to memorize all these facts, they would never do it.)
We know you may not love learning English. And even if you love it, you will sometimes not want to do it. This is how human psychology works — sometimes we are so lazy, bored, and tired that we don't want to do even the things that we like.
Here is what you can do when you don't feel like learning English
Imagine yourself in the future
Imagine you can talk to native speakers just like you talk in your first language. Imagine other people wanting to speak English as well as you do. Imagine the possibility of writing e-mail to people from all over the world.
You should know that it is possible to learn English really well. Just look at other people who have done it.
Remember that you are already good
You already know some English (you're reading an article in English right now). That's a big success! Now it's time for more successes. Time to start using powerful methods of effective learning. Time to gain an impressive knowledge of English.
Remember there is a lot that you don't know
You are good, but your English probably isn't perfect. You probably can't understand English-language TV, read books in English, talk to native speakers easily, write letters without mistakes, etc.
You should never think your English is perfect. Even if you are the best student in your class, always try to find your weak areas and work on them. When you've learned to speak English well, your problems will be quite small: punctuation, rarely used grammar structures, rare words, understanding "street language". Right now, your problems are probably more basic: mistakes in pronunciation, small vocabulary, and grammar problems with the present perfect tense and conditional structures.
Use your English whenever you can
This is very, very important. The more you use English, the more you will want to learn it.
Because English is so popular, you can use it everywhere. You can use Yahoo to find English-language websites with interesting information, you can watch American cartoons, you can play adventure games on your computer, you can read interesting books in English, or you can do other things that we write about.
If you do these things, you will not only have fun and learn English. If you see that a new English word lets you understand your favorite TV show (or communicate with people, or beat a computer game), you will want to learn more words. So you will learn English more, use it more, learn it more, use it more... If you also use effective learning methods, your English will grow faster than you can imagine.
