Teaching Procedures
Period 1 Welcome to the Unit
Step 1: Brainstorming
Let's discuss the following questions in pairs or groups. Use your imagination, express your opinions and participate in the discussion.
Are you particular about your appearance?
Do you think appearance plays an important part in your life?
In your opinion, is a person's ability judged by his appearance?
What do you think is more important, looking good or feeling good?
Do you usually go to a gym to do sport or exercise?
From your point of view, is doing sport regularly beneficial to your health and to your outlook on life ?
Step 2: Discussing and practicing
1. Let's focus on the instructions and the pictures.
Everyone wants to be healthy and attractive. Everyone wants to feel good and look good. Now there are four pictures representing four different people's states of mind. Can you imagine a situation that fits each picture?
2. Let's deal with the pictures. Let's invent a situation that fits the upper left picture first
and then invent other situations that fit the other pictures, Every one of you, please, participate in the activity.
For reference:
Jane is a high school student and she is extremely happy, because she has been admitted to the university she wanted to go to. Tonight her parents will hold a party to celebrate her success and achievements and all her friends and relatives are invited to share her happiness. But now she is at a loss about the clothes she is going to wear tonight. She is confident about everything except her weight. She is constantly worried about being too fat. Now she has spent at least half an hour selecting clothes without success.
3. Now try to answer the following questions:
Do you think looking good is as important as feeling good?
If you do think the two aspects are of equal importance, can you tell me how a person can both look good and feel good?
confident; healthy mentally and physically; exercise regularly; healthy diet
Now I will give you a couple of minutes to talk about the three questions listed under the pictures in pairs or groups.
Step 3: Sharing information
Now in groups exchange your opinions and everyone is supposed to speak out your idea. Each group will then report your conclusions to the whole class.
For reference:
As far as I'm concerned, exercise is the most important thing to keep you looking good and feeling good. My grandfather always worked hard as a carpenter and did lots of exercise every day. He never worried about being fat or eating the right or wrong kinds of food. Now, although he is old, he is still in good shape and is very healthy. He says it is because he exercised to protect his health, instead of dieting or worrying. I think I should follow my grandfather's example. I think eating healthy foods is the most important thing. If we eat lots of fruit and vegetables and don't eat fast food or too many snacks, we can .stay healthy for a lifetime. Eating certain foods can protect you from diseases and stop you getting cold in the winter. Exercise is important too, but healthy foods are the best way to make you feel good.

Period 5 Grammar and Usage
Teaching Content: Non-restrictive attributive clause
Teaching Aims: Learn the Grammar and Question tags
Teaching Procedures:
Step 1: Non-restrictive attributive clause
A non-restrictive attributive clause is used to add extra information to the main clause of a sentence. Let's see the formation of a non-restrictive attributive clause the occasion to use it.
1. Please read the five example sentences in Point 1 to find the similarities and the differences between the restrictive attributive clause and the non-restrictive attributive clause.
For reference:
These two kinds of attributive clauses are both used after a noun. But the non-restrictive clause is used to add extra information to the sentence, and there is usually a comma between the antecedent and the clause. The non-restrictive clause can be omitted without causing any confusion. But for a restrictive attributive clause, if it is omitted, the meaning of the whole sentence will not be so clear. For example, in the sentence ' We thought you were a person from whom we could expect good decisions', the clause 'from whom we could expect good decisions' can't be omitted. If it is omitted, we don't know what the sentence means.
2. Please read the Tip box in this part and note that the relative pronoun that can't be used to introduce a non-restrictive attributive clause.
3. Please read the example sentence in Point 2 and tell me what which refers to in this sentence.
(Sometimes a non-restrictive attributive clause introduced by which can be used to refer to the whole main clause.)
4. After reading the two example sentences in Point 3, you will know a non-restrictive attributive clause introduced by all / some of which / whom can express a complete or partial quantity. Here which refers to the antecedent different types of exercises in the first sentence, and whom refers to the antecedent many people in the second sentence.
Here are more sentences for you to compare:
The dress, which you can get at any shop, is popular this spring.
The dress which you want can be found at any shop.
In the first sentence, the clause 'which you can get at any shop' gives extra information. It tells you where you can get the dress.
In the second sentence, the clause tells us that the dress is just what you want, not anyone else.
She introduced me to her husband, whom I hadn't met before.
She introduced me to the man who is her husband.
In the first sentence, we can know who she introduced. The clause just tells us that this was the first time I met her husband.
In the second sentence, the clause tells us who the man is.
His sister, who is studying in England, will be back this summer.
His sister who is studying in England will be back this summer.
The first sentence tells us that he ha a sister and she is now studying in England and will be back this summer, while the second sentence tells us that maybe he has more than one sister and one of them is now studying in England and will be back this summer.
Step 2 Ex.
1. Deal with Parts A and B on pages 48 and 49.
Answers: 詳見教參P.54
2. Finish Part C1 on Page 104 in Workbook，so you may have a chance to distinguish between the restrictive and non-restrictive attributive clauses．
Answers
1. If you take a walk around the city，you will find some teenagers who are overweight．
2. You might often see overweight boys and girls, which means that young people’s weight has become a big problem．
3. I think there are two main reasons why so many boys and girls are overweight．
4. Some teenagers, who like to play computer games or watch TV in their free time, don’t take enough exercise.
5. Some other teenagers like eating in fast-food restaurants，which you can see everywhere in our city．
6. So there is a Keep Fit Summer Camp in our city，where the overweight teenagers can take enough exercise and have a healthy diet．
Step 3 Question tags
1．Read the guidelines at the beginning of this part to discover in what situations question tags are used．
Question tags are often used
★to start a conversation．For example, we may begin a conversation with‘It’s a lovely day，isn’t it?’
★to request information in a more polite way．e.g．Neither of you has heard the news.have you?
★to soften an order or a request．e.g．Pass the plate on the table to me．will you?
★to ask for agreement or confirmation．When we expect the other person to agree with what we are saying，we use a falling intonation at the end of the sentence。When we ask about something we are not sure about，we use a rising intonation at the end of the sentence．Take‘You’re a high school student, aren’t you?’for example．If we use a falling tone at the end of the sentence，we are sure about what we aye saying．If we use a rising tone，we are not sure and want to know whether you’re a high school student or not．
2．Read the five points in this part to learn about different ways to form question tags．
3．Generally speaking，after negative statements，the ordinary interrogative is used，while after affirmative statements，the negative interrogative is used．And we use auxiliary verbs，modal verbs or be in their proper forms to form a question tag。For example，
You didn’t see him at the party, did you?
Ann was there，wasn’t she?
Mary can’t swim, can she?
Peter often helps‘the old man, doesn’t he ?
Note：I am late, aren’t I ?
When the main clause of the sentence begins with I think／suppose／guess and is followed by an object clause introduced by that，the question tag is like this：
I think everyone will be interested in these after school activities，won’t they ?
I guess they haven’t heard about our plan, have they?
1 don’t think John went back home early last night，did he?
Note the question tag in sentences with’s，or’d. For example．
You’d watch the football match rather than go to the party, wouldn’t you?
He’d written to you before you phoned, hadn’t he?
He’s a very good teacher, isn’t he ?
She’s been in hospital for two weeks, hasn’t she ?
反意疑問句
反意疑問句是疑問句的一種。基本結構是“陳述句+簡略問句”。(1)肯定陳述句+否定問句 (2)否定陳述句+肯定問句
注意：陳述句中含有否定詞never，no，none，nobody，no one，nothing，few，little(幾乎沒有)，seldom，barely，scarcely等時，簡略問句用肯定形式。陳述句中只是有帶否定前綴(im-，un一，il一，dis一)或后綴(一less)的詞時，簡略問句仍用否定形式。e．g。：
You still go to the gym every day，don’t you?
She has been to the Great Wall three times, hasn’t she?
Nobody has heard from his, have they?
Neither of them can speak French，can they?
Seldom does he have lunch at school，does he?
He’s unable to finish his homework on his own，isn’t he?
Your father dislike noisy music，doesn’t he?
相關鏈接：
(1)一般情況下，當陳述句部分是主從復合句時，簡略問句的主語和謂語動詞與主句的主語和謂語動詞一致。
(2)當陳述句部分屬于否定前移情況時，簡略問句的主語和謂語與從句的主謂語一致，而且要把否定考慮在內。
(3)對“否定陳述句+肯定句”回答時，注意其形式和漢語意譯。
一He doesn't like talking too much，does he? 一Yes，he does．(不，他喜歡。)
一No，he doesn’t．(是的，他不喜歡。)
一I don’t believe you are serious in your studies，are you?一Yes，I am．(不，我認真。)
一No，I am not．(是的，我不認真。)
(4)祈使句加簡略問句，表示請求。常為以下幾種情況：
肯定／否定祈使句+will you?
Let us…… will you ? Let’s …,shall we ? Let me…,shall I ?

Skills building 3：using punctuation
Correct punctuation can make Ss’ writing clear and easy to read．Read some rules about how to use the most common punctuation marks in an e-mail to check whether Ss know how to use these marks correctly．
1．English words used to refer to the most common punctuation marks：
comma(，)；full stop(．)；question mark(?)；exclamation mark(!)；colon(：);semicolon(;);
quotation marks(”)or{””)；apostrophe(’)；hyphen(一) ;dash(一)．
Read Skills Building 3，including the Tip boxes to discover in what different situations these punctuation marks are used。Pay special attention to comma because it is not used as often in English as it is in Chinese．
Usually we use a full stop at the end of a sentence．Then another sentence begins with a word the first letter of which is capitalized． A colon or a semicolon can also be used at the end of a statement sentence．but after it another sentence can be used without a capitalized letter at the beginning of it．
2．Read the e-mail on page 57 and try to add the missing punctuation mark in each line。
Keys 見教參P.62.
