课件48张PPT。Lesson 1FestivalsWords reviewRead the explanation and speak out the word it explains.汉语是我们的母语,我们从学英语开始,就是用汉语来解释和记忆英语的。变“用汉语解释和记忆英语”为“用英语解释和记忆英语”。避免了将英语转换为另一种语言——汉语所带来的不便和时间耗费。不但提高了效率,而且久而久之,有可能在头脑中建立起两种思维系统,即在在汉语思维之外,还可以逐步建立起独立的英语思维系统。用英语解释和记忆英语,本身就是在学习和运用英语,对提高英语语感和英语的阅读理解能力和综合运用能力很有好处。是一举多得的好方法。真正做到了用英语品味英语,越品越有味;用英语理解英语,理解更准确。鉴于本环节初次尝试此种设置,可能有些学生对英语解释不能完全理解,为降低难度,英文解释后面可进一步演示中文解释,学生可再通过中文解释回顾早读课中已预习过的单词,进一步加深记忆。Words reviewa particular time, especially when something
