Step 6 Everyday English
让学生们说说这些句子在文中的意思。
·I’m not sure… 我不确定……
·In my opinion… 在我看来……
·Look at… 看……
·Who’d like to… 谁想……
Step 7 Language points
（一）1. Let’s call Wonder of the World and join in the discussion. 我们给《世界奇观》节目打电话，加入讨论吧。
join in的意思是“参加某种活动; 加入 到”。
如: We all joined in the game.
我们都参与了游戏。
discussion 作名词, 它是由动词discuss 加后缀-ion而构成的, 意为“讨论; 商讨”。如:
There will be a discussion about the differences between the two words in our class this afternoon.
小试: How many students joined in the _________(discuss) last Sunday?
2. And I think the Giant’s Causeway is the most fantastic natural wonder. 我认为巨人之路是最神奇的自然奇观。
巨人之路位于英国北爱尔兰东部海岸, 由大量多边形石柱组成, 绵延数百米, 呈阶梯状延伸入海。1986年, 巨人之路及其海岸(Giant’s Causeway and Causeway Coast)被联合国教科文组织列入世界自然遗产名录。
3. That sounds great, though I think Victoria Falls in Africa is even more fantastic.
听起来很神奇，但我认为非洲的维多利亚瀑布更壮观。
维多利亚瀑布位于非洲赞比西河中游, 赞比亚与津巴布韦接壤处, 是世界上最壮观的瀑布之一。瀑布上的水雾形成的彩虹景色十分迷人, 瀑布的声响可在数公里处听到。因此, 当地人称之为“莫西奥图尼亚”, 意为“霹雳之雾”。
4. But in my opinion, man-made wonders are more exciting than natural ones.
但是, 在我看来, 人造奇观比自然奇 观更激动人心。
in one’s opinion表示“按某人的意见; 据某人看来”。如：
Who, in your opinion, is the best football player in the world today?在你看来, 谁是当今世界上最好的足球运动员？
本句中natural ones与man-made wonders相对应, ones代替前面提到的wonders。
5. though
though 作连词, 意为“虽然; 尽管”, 常用来引导让步状语从句, 从句可放在主句前或主句后, 但不能与but 或however 出现在同一个句子中。如：
Though he was tired, he went on working.
Lucy often helps me with my English, though she is very busy.
6. 小组自我补充
7. 学生自主完成这些重点与难点。
（二）自主完成后，小组合作，交流学习成果，共同释疑。
（三）让学生朗读以上重点知识。
