一. 教学内容:
Unit 4 of Module Ⅱ Cyberspace Period Two Lesson 3& 4
二. 本课教学目标与要求:
1. 重点掌握Lesson 3, Lesson 4, Communication Workshop and Culture Corner 中的单词及词组的用法
2. 对相关的词汇进行对比学习。
三. 重难点词汇讲解:
1. suggest vt. 建议,提议 to put forth for thinking about ; propose
e.g. I suggest putting off the meeting. 我建议推迟这次会议。
拓展 suggest 表示“建议”时有以下几种用法:
①suggest +doing sth . 建议做某事
They suggested putting the meeting off.
他们建议推迟会议。
②suggest +that sb.(should) do sth. 建议某人做某事
I suggest that he shouldn’t drive too fast .= I suggest that he not drive too fast .
我建议他不要开得太快了。
③suggest sth.to sb. 向某人建议某事
She suggested a new teaching method to us.
她向我们建议一种新的教法。
④It is suggested that 有人提议(用虚拟语气)
It is suggested that the meeting (should) be ended at once .
有人提议立即散会。
辨析:suggest 意为“建议”时,从句用虚拟语气,当suggest 意为“暗示”时,从句不用虚拟语气。insist 用法与suggest 相似。insist作“坚持”说时,要用陈述语气;作“坚决主张;坚决要求”讲时,用虚拟语气。如:
When the son suggested that they should go to the park on Sunday, the expression on his father’s face suggested that he agreed with him.
当儿子提议星期天去公园时,父亲用表情表示了默许。
