Strategy goals 策略目标 Enable the students to describe appearances and personalities by comparing. Culture awareness goals文化意识目标 People have different behaviors during different ages in different countries. Teaching important points教学重点 The structure “used to and its negative and interrogative forms. Step I Revision Ask the students to talk about the ways they have used in English learning before. T: Since English learning is such a popular topic among middle school students, nearly every one of us are thinking about one question: how can we improve our English quickly. As a teacher, I think the first thing to do is to improve our ways of learning English. What ways of learning did you use before? Did the ways you used before help you a lot? S1: I think my ways of learning English has helped me a lot. And my English is always the best. The most important thing in learning English is, I think, to practice what we have learned every day, to read aloud, to write more often- S2: I’m not good at English. There must be something wrong with my way of studying English. It doesn’t work at all even if I work harder. I read and write the new vocabulary many times every evening and only to find that I can’t remember them all. What should I do now? If such problems arises, offer some suggestions and discuss with the students. T: In my point of view, it is not very useful to remember some new words by merely read and write them time and again. The best way to learn new vocabulary is to practice them in the sentences. Just compare your way of learning English with the that of the first student. You can find that he/she never remember words by writing or reading words only. After we learned Unit 1, I believe most of us have changed some of your bad ways in English learning. This is very important. Everything changes except change itself. We are making progress in English learning. So come on. You are the best. Learn from your past and make more change! Step II Lead-in T: As time goes on, we are changing every day. For example, we are growing taller and our hair longer and longer day by day. Our appearances, personalities, etc. change with the growing years. Now think about your changes in the past years. Here’s a very useful expression to help you express yourself. Show the following expression to the students. used to be + adj: 过去常常是 used to + v: 过去常常做 T: It’s very easy to put the expression in use. Look at the following examples. Show the following examples and ask the students to read it repeatedly. She used to be short. He used to be naughty. Tom used to be better. I used to write diary myself when I was his age. We used to swim every day when we were children. We used to grow beautiful roses. I get on well with him. Better than I used to. She didn’t used to do it, did she? You usedn’t to make that mistake. Used you to make that stories u p out your own head? Used you to play basketball? It used not be so hot in summer in former years. You used to live in London, usedn’t you? There used to be some trees in this field, usedn’t there? Step III Listening Ask the students to read the instructions and sentences in 1b first, then listen to the recording between Bob and his friends. T: How time flies! Bob and his friends haven’t seen each other for four years. Now they see each other again on a sunny day. Look at the picture on Page 10. What changes can we find about his friends? S1: They all grows taller than before. They all used to be shorter. S2: Tina’s hair is longer now. But she used to have short hair. S3: Amy used to be short and she used to wear curly hair. But she is tall and has straight hair now! T: Good guesses! Now listen to the dialogue between them. They all changed a lot. Will Bob feel surprised? Play the recording for the first time. T: For the first time, listen and find out how does Bob feel about his friends’ changes? Check and discuss the answers with the students, reminding the students of the intonation of Bob in the recording. Then ask the students to listen for the second time. T: For the second listening, please pay attention to the changes of his friends. You may write down the key words you hear. Play the recording for the second time. Then ask them to fill in the blanks and check the answers with them. Step IV Listing Ask the students to list the words to describe people’s appearances and personalities. T: From the above picture and recording, we found that many changes have take place in Bob’s friends. Now work in groups and try to list the words to describe people’s appearances and personalities. Sample lists: light-brown hair, curly hair, black hair, brown hair, brown eyes, blue eyes, pale, attractive, fat, thin, cool, slim, healthy, strong, good-looking, handsome, pretty, beautiful, sick, long Ask the students to fill in the chart. Then check the answers. Step V Listening (2a, 2b & 2c: Page 11) Ask the students to do the listening work. T: Next you will hear some other words used to describe people’s appearances and personalities. Listen and check the words you hear. Play the recording. Then check the answers. T: Listen again and fill in the blanks in the dialogue with the words you hear. Play the recording again, then check the answers. Then ask the students to practice the dialogue. Sample dialogue: S1: Hi, there. Don’t you remember me? S2: Oh, sorry. I can’t remember now. S1: I’m Jessie. We were in the same class when we studied in Nanshan Primary School. S2: Oh, I got it. Jessie, you used to really short, didn’t you? S1: Yeah. I wasn’t very tall. S2: No, you weren’t. but you were always happy. Wait a minute! Did you used to play basketball after school? S1: Yes, I did. But now I’m more interested in playing volleyball. I play volleyball and I’m on the volleyball team. S2: Wow! People sure change. Step VI Homework T: In this period, we mainly learned “used to questions and “used to statements. Show the following to the students. Ask them to read the example sentences. used to→ Did-+ use to do →didn’t e.g. 1. He used to be quiet. 【查看更多】

    Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it “automaticity (自动性)”.
    A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase (短语). With automaticity, he doesn't have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.
    It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.
    According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount (数量) of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.
    You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable (适合) for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.
    【小题1】Children with “automaticity” can read faster because they don’t have to think about ________.

    A．how to read the wordsB．the meaning of the words
    C．reading by themselvesD．the meaning of the text
    【小题2】Rossman tells that any child who ________  will possibly be an automatic reader.
    A．turns off TV one night 4 weeks
    B．reads books by the word quickly
    C．spends an hour reading every day
    D．gets the same grades as others in exams
    【小题3】The underlined word “stumble” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.
    A．结结巴巴地读B．全神贯注地读
    C．心不在焉地读D．声情并茂地读
    【小题4】The best title for the passage is  “________”.
    A．IQ Is the Key to the Automaticity
    B．TV Is Bad for Children's Reading
    C．Automaticity Depends on Practice
    D．Automatic Reads Will Be Successful

    The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago. There are some traditions that you can find almost anywhere, anytime, such as sending birthday cards, blowing out the candles(吹熄蜡烛) on a birthday cake and singing the ‘Happy Birthday’ song. Others are only found for certain ages and in certain countries.

    In China, on a child’s second birthday, family members put many things on the floor around the child. According to Chinese tradition, the first thing that the child picks up tells you what job the child will choose later in life.

    For Japanese children, the third, fifth and seventh birthdays are especially important. At this age, there is a special celebration(庆祝) Shichi-Go-San (seven, five, three in Japanese) when children go to the temple wearing a new kimono (和服). The priest (僧侣) gives them special sweets, and the parents usually organize a party for their friends in their home.

    In Argentina, Mexico and several other Latin American countries, girls have a special birthday celebration when they reach the age of fifteen. After a special ceremony (仪式), the girls dance a waltz with their father and other boys.

    Eighteen is the traditional ‘coming of age’— the age when (in many countries) you have the right to vote (选举权), join the army （参军）and (in Britain) drink alcohol （酒）or buy a house.

    In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top, or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key. The key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to! 

    1.Which of the following birthday traditions can you find almost anywhere, anytime?

    A. Putting many things on the floor.

    B. Sending birthday cards.

    B. Some birthday traditions are only found in certain countries.

    C. You become the owner of your house at the age of fifteen.
