Past and Present Written by Thomas Hood I remember,I remember,The house where I was born,The little window where the sunCame peeping in at morn;He never came a wink too soon,Nor brought too long a day, But now,I often wish the nightHad borne my breath away! I remember,I remember,The roses,red and white,The violets,and the lily-cups,Those flowers made of light!The lilacs where the robin built,And where my brother setThe laburnum on his birthday,——The tree is living yet! I remember,I remember,Where I was used to swing,And thought the air must rush as freshTo swallows on the wing;My spirit flew in feathers then,That is so heavy now,And summer pools could hardly cool The fever on my brow. I remember,I remember,The fir trees dark and high;I used to think their slender topsWere close against the sky:It was a childish ignorance,But now 'tis little joyTo know I'm farther off from heavenThan when I was boy.

Hi Hongbo,????
I'm so glad to read about the changes talking place in your city. It's really good news that you cantravel by?subway?in Xi'an, though there's only one line there. Here in London we have twelve lines. By?the way, we don't use the word "subway" here. It's American English. We call it "the?Underground",?instead.??
The London Underground is very famous. It's famous for several reasons. First of all, part of the?underground railway today is the oldest in the world, which opened in 1863. Secondly, the London?Underground is also the first line to have electric trains, in 1890. Thirdly but not the last, the London?Underground is the second largest?metro?system in the world, after the Shanghai Metro. There are?270 stations in the Underground and it has 402 kilometers of?tracks(轨道). What's more, the city?of London itself helps make the transportation system famous! I've got a?few photos to help you build?a clear picture of the Underground in my city. They are together with this mail.In your email, you also said workers were building more lines. I'm sure your city is developing fast.Maybe you can send me a few photos of your city today. I really want to see the changes taking placethere. I'm happy for you to live there in an ancient city with such a new look!So much for now. I'll write soon again. Best wishes!

设计思路：
本单元的设计思路主要依据“有人喜欢变化因为变化带来很多好处，有人不喜欢变化因为对过去生活的怀念与满足”为线条展开设计。第一课时借助于故事The happy farmer and his wife，从故事中引发思考：If you were Fred or Doris, will you accept the three wishes from the fairy? Why?这个课时就引发学生的思考与讨论：Do you like the changes in your life? Why?
第二课时在第一课时的基础上，主要讨论Some people like changes because it makes life easier/better/more convenient/more comfortable。第三课时在在第二课时的基础上讨论Some people don’t like changes because they are satisfied with the lives now. They cherish the memory of the lives in the past.第四课时在第一、第二、第三课时的基础上，我们引导学生进行辩论：Do changes make life better? Why?第四课时将是学生综合语用的体现，是本单元语用任务的输出：Talk about your opinions of the changes in your lives.
教学后记：
根据《小学英语新课程标准》,结合我校单元整体教学的现状以及深圳这几十年变化给我们生活带来的改变，本单元的四个课时的教学任务顺利完成，基本达到预定教学目标。但是，成功与失败，还是得仔细分析和反思的：
成功之处：
一、由浅入深，过渡自然。
? 在教授故事the happy farmer and his wife时，我采用了故事教学法，利用故事框架引发学生自主学习。而在时态上，我们在第二、第三、第四课时上先教授过去时态，接着在再教授现在时态，然后再将两种时态放在一起教授。这四个课时是根据小学生的由易到难的认知特点，精心设计的。一步步对他们加大要求，最终达到我的教学目标。
二、突出综合语用课程的特点。
第四课时是综合运用型的课型，所以我们侧重于语言的输入量与输出量，弱化语法教学。从开头的讲述旧深圳人生活上的片段，到后来的深圳人生活上的变化，都给了学生很大的输入量。学生综合运用句型和单词，包含一般过去时和一般现在时，同时他们也感知了一些新单词，例如easier, better, convenient, comfortable等等。我们在教学过程中并没有花很多时间在帮助学生巩固掌握单词和句型上。而是，遵循英语综合课的特点来教学，给学生许多新的环节，指导他们如何进行综合性的运用。
三、作文指导初见成效。
小学六年级的学生应该具有一定的书面写作的能力，这节课的主题my opinion of the changes in our lives正好适合进行比较型作文的写作指导。我在指导过程中才用了先出示老师的范例，请学生阅读；接着，请学生理清老师指导写作的思路；然后，老师进行专业指导；最后请学生动手实践这样循序渐进的过程。从学生课堂的习作来看，作文知道已经初见成效。
不足之处：
一、教学时教学侧重点把握不准。
　　　在谈到以前的生活和现在的生活两种风貌的变化时，以前的风貌应该要侧重谈论一些。一是因为学生对旧深圳人的生活情况没有真实的情感体验，二是因为新授句型的过去时态学生掌握起来仍需要一定的时间去综合运用。所以，在第三课时的涉及到深圳人过去的生活片段时，应给予多一点时间。
二、大量输入和大量输出之间的关系失衡。
在预设这节课时，我是想为学生创设多个语用的环境，鼓励学生大量的output。但是，由于我们的引导和激励不是很到位，导致他们的大量输出做得不是很够。
以上是我实践了Changes in our lives一个单元四个课时以后的一些浅薄的认识。我们将会把这次探究英语拓展课程的心得牢记在心，不断实践和创新。
