III. Understanding a Passage

The first requirement for my online language class was to meet in an online forum. I entered the forum early and saw students appear on the screen one after another. Strangely enough, when it was time to begin, the teacher still hadn’t shown up. However, we began sharing information and talking about the new class. Unlike me, all of the other students were new to the online class. I told them about my experiences and my thoughts. Then I noticed something. There were 27 people in the forum. This was strange because I know there were only 26 people in the class.

“Hey,” I wrote, “which one of you is the teacher?”

The teacher made herself known at last. She said that wanted to get our honest opinions about the online class. Also, she wanted to have a little fun with us. “Humor will be important in my class,” she said.

Professor Stromwell: I am, personally, very 1) honored to introduce this year’s class-elected speaker. After getting off to a quite 2) interesting start here at Harvard, she graduates today with an 3) invitation to join one of Boston’s most prestigious law firms. I am sure we are going to see 4) great things from her. Ladies and gentlemen: Elle Woods.

Elle: On our very first day at Harvard, a very 5) wise professor quoted Aristotle, “The law is 6) reason free from passion.” Well, no offense to Aristotle, but in my three years at Harvard I have come to find that passion is a 7) key ingredient to the study and practice of law --- and of life. It is with passion, courage of conviction, and strong 8) sense of self that we take our next steps into the world, remembering that first 9) impressions are not always correct. Y ou must always have faith in people. And most 10) importantly, you must always have faith in yourself.

Congratulations class of 2004 ---we did it!

Story-retelling

One day, a student was taking a very difficult essay exam. 1) At the end of the test, the professor asked all the students to put their pencils down and hand in their test papers. They young man kept

writing furiously. 2) Although he was warned that if he did not stop immediately his paper would be rejected, he ignored the warning, finished the test ten minutes later, and went to hand the test paper to his professor. The professor told him he would not accept the test paper.

3) The student asked, “Do you know who I am?”

The professor said, “No and I don’t care.”

4) The student asked again, “Are you sure you don’t know who I am?”

The professor said, “Y es.” 5) So, the student walked over to the pile of tests, placed his in the middle, and then threw the papers in the air.

“Good,” the student said, and walked out.

Homework Supplementary Listening T ask 1

M: All right, everyone. Good work. That’s all for today’s class. Does anyone have any questions? W: Excuse me, professor. I have a question. I’m worried about my English skills. I get good marks on tests, but I don’t feel that I’m learning a lot.

M: Not exactly a question is it, Winnie? But it’s a good concern. Many advanced English learners have a large “passive vocabulary”, but they worry about their “active vocabulary”. They can understand many difficult English words when reading or listening, but they don’t use most of them when speaking or writing in English. They feel this is a problem. They would like to use all the difficult words that they know.

W: Do you think that I use too few words?

M: That’s not what I’m saying at all. Actually, I’m saying the opposite thing.

W: I’m afraid I don’t understand.

M: In your native language, there are also thousands of words that you understand but you don’t use. So your active vocabulary in your native language is much smaller than your passive vocabulary. And I guess that you are not worried about that.

W: No, I’m not. But I would like to use the new words that I learn in my English classes. How else am I going to remember them?

M: Now that’s a very good question.

W: I was hoping that you had an answer to this question.

M: Winnie, you don’t need to worry about using “too few”English words. As your needs for different things grow, you will be able to use your new words more and more. I think you’d be surprised by how much you know.

W: So your advice to me is “Don’t worry.”? Now I’m worried that I’m paying too much for school.

1.Who are likely to worry about their active vocabulary?

2.What is “active vocabulary” according to the professor?

3.What do many English learners want to do?

4.What does the professor say about vocabulary in one’s native language?

5.What does the professor want to tell Winnie?

1---5: D D A B D

T ask 2

The biggest problem most people face in learning English is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly so they don’t speak English at all. Don’t do this. Don’t let a little

fear stop you from getting what you want.

The best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it. The more English material you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely you will begin thinking in English.

Music can be a very effective tool to learning English. The best way is to use the lyrics and try to read them as the artist sings. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time.

Watching English movies is not only fun but also very effective. By watching English movies, you can expand your vocabulary and learn the natural flows of speech from actors.

1.What is the biggest problem that many English learners have?

2.Why do some English learners NOT speak English at all?

3.What is the best way to learn English according to the speaker?

4.What is the best way to learn English through music?

5.How can you benefit from watching English movies?

英语必修ⅳ译林牛津版unit1wordpower教案

●Word power We’ll learn in this section some common suffixes that can be added to nouns or verbs to create adjectives. And also some vocabulary related to sales and marketing. Step 1: Brainstorming 1. Please think about the following questions: How are the following words formed? health (noun) healthy(adjective) interest (verb) interesting (adjective) An English word can have several derivatives. And please pay attention to the fact that many English words share the same root word, even though they have different meanings or parts of speech. Now here’s more example for you to better understand word formation. breath (n.) breathe (v.) breathless (adj.) act (v.) action (n.) actor (n.) actress (n.) activity (n.) possible (adj.) impossible (adj.) possibility (n.) possibly (adv.) friend (n.), friendly (adj.), friendless (adj.), friendship (n.), unfriendly (adj.) As you can see, many words are derived by adding suffixes or prefixes to the root words. Often you may come across unfamiliar words while reading, try to use knowledge of word formation to guess their meanings. Will you? And can you give more examples about word formation? 2. Shall we have a competition to see who can give more examples or create more words by adding suffixes or prefixes to the root words? 3. As we know, sometimes an English word can be made up of three parts: a prefix, a stem and a suffix. A stem is the main part of a word. A prefix is a group of letters added to the beginning of a word. A suffix is a group of letters placed at the end of a word. Both prefixes and suffixes modify the meaning of a word or change it into a different word group. The following is a table of common prefixes: Step 2: Learning about Word formation The basic part of any word is the root; to it, you can add a prefix at the beginning and/or a suffix at the end to change the meaning. For example, in the word "un flatter ing," the root is simply "flatter," while the prefix "un-" makes the word negative, and the suffix "-ing" changes it from a verb into an adjective (specifically, a participle). English itself does not use prefixes as heavily as it once did, but many English words come from Latin, which uses prefixes and suffixes (you can use the word affix to refer

On the first day (Voice-over: Harrison meets Jenny before the first class.) Harrison: I'm Harrison. Good to meet you. Jenny: Good to meet you. I'm Jenny. Harrison: So, you've bought the books for this biology class. Jenny: Yeah. I think everyone had to before class started. Harrison: No. Usually no one does much on the first day because it's still add-drop. Jenny: What's that? Harrison: Changing from class to class to find out which is best. Jenny: Have you had this teacher before? I've heard he is really good. Harrison: He's good if you're a hard worker. He expects a lot. Jenny: Oh, I guess that's good. I hope I can keep up with everyone else in the class. Maybe I need your help after class. Harrison: You're welcome. (Voice-over: Jenny catches up with Harrison after the first class.) Jenny: Harrison, wait up! Harrison: So what do you think of the professor's lecture? Jenny: I think about half of what he said went over my head. Harrison: Don't worry. A lot of what he said is explained in the reading. Jenny: Hey, would you mind if I borrowed your notes tonight to look them over? Harrison: No problem. We don't have class until Wednesday. Here you go. Jenny: Thanks. I just want to make sure I'm prepared for the seminar. Harrison: Yeah. Participation in the discussion is an important part of the education here. How to select elective courses? Consider these tips on elective courses and you'll choose those that will serve you best. To begin with, you should select the courses that fit your profession. It is a good idea to choose elective courses closely related to your chosen profession. Potential employers will appreciate every bit of extra training and knowledge that they don't have to give you. For example, you may select elective courses in chemistry, biology or even physics if you are doing a science major. For business majors, select electives in accounting, business administration, and even computing, as you'll never know when these will come in handy in the corporate world. Moreover, you can choose an education that includes many fields of study. If you are taking a heavy load of career-related courses, you may prefer electives that are not directly related to your major. If you receive a well-rounded education, some employers believe that you have better potential. For example, if you have courses in science along with your business degree, you could possibly win a job over someone who majored purely in business with no outside electives. Finally, you can also select a challenging elective course. Part of getting an education is learning how to learn, and elective courses should help you achieve this goal. You need not to memorize all the information from each class, but you should get a better understanding of the world. So, pick elective courses that challenge your belief system and make you look at the world in a different way. For instance, you can consider a philosophy elective if you have been told that you are a little narrow-minded.

A couple of times a month maybe. Part 3 H: Did you go out last night? W4: We went to this club in Piccadilly Circus and we danced all night. We had a few drinks, but then mostly dancing.

We had a lovely evening of just looking at the … the river and enjoying the view and enjoying lots of fun with the family.

At the Prince of Wales Theater, and it was excellent.
