[重点难点释义](Language Points)
I. How to learn English
1. 本单元的话题是讨论如何学习英语。这个话题既有趣又实用,既能锻炼我们的语言能力,又能使我们学到一些实用的方法,对自身的学习大有帮助。如何向别人请教学习方法呢?又如何回答呢?请诵读下面的目标句型:
How do you study English
I study English by listening cassettes.
by studying with a group.
by watching English programs on TV.
by enjoying English songs.
by taking part in English classes after school.
by getting an English tutor.
by reading English magazines and newspaper.
by surfing the Internet.
by making flashcards.
by reading the textbook.
by asking the teacher for help.
by making vocabulary lists.
by taking notes carefully.
by having the English class carefully.
by finishing my homework seriously.
Do you learn English by…
Yes, I do / No, I don’t.
Have you ever studied with a group
Yes, I have. I’ve learned a lot that way.
What about listening to cassettes
I do that sometimes. I think it helps.
2.学会评价各种学习方法的优劣 (Comment on the ways of learning English)
看到上面的学习方法,有些眼花缭乱。其实,并不是所有的学习方法都适合自己。我们要学会评价与判断,然后才能选择最适合自己的方法。用下面的语言进行评价:
I think studying English by… is … because…
e.g. I think studying English by working with a group is a good way because you can ask others when you have questions.
I think surfing the Internet is a bad way because you have to use a computer and always waste your time.
这个句型较长,是个复合句, 出现了由because引导的原因状语从句。进入初三后,我们在写作表达时,要避免使用没有主句的because从句,而要写完整的句子。另外,在这句话中,我们看到了以动名词studying English为主语的句子。
如:不能写Because I slept late. 这样句意不完整,不清晰。
要写成 I missed the early bus because I slept late.这样有原因,有结果的句子才是完整的句子。
3. 找出自己在英语学习中的困难(Find out your own difficulties in learning English)
要选择适合自己的学习方法,还必须清楚自己的困难所在,然后才能有的放矢。我们如何表达自己学习上遇到的困难呢?如何给出建议呢?请诵读下面的句型:
I have a problem. I can’t remember the new words.
I can’t pronounce some of the words.
I can’t understand spoken English.
I always make mistakes in grammar.
I read very slowly.
I don’t know how to speak English well.
给出建议:
You should read English aloud.
Listening can help you.
Why don’t you join an English language club to practice speaking.
Would you mind remembering new words by flashcards
Please try to talk with your friends in English as much as possible.
4.确定自己的学习方法(Decide your suitable learning ways)
通过以上各个环节的学习,我们终于可以完成最后的目标——选择适合自己的方法。如何表达呢?目标句型如下:(注意要给出原因,练习使用because)
I think I can study English by …because…
e.g. I think I can study English by listening to English songs because I love music too.
I don’t think I can get an English tutor because I want to learn by myself at home.
