Step 1 　Lead-in

T:　　 Hello, everyone! Nice to see you again. Today we are going to learn the main task together.

As we know, we’ve learned a lot about robots in this unit. Have you decided to buy a robot? Before you go and buy one, I think you need to ask yourself these questions.

1　　　　　　　　　　 Would you like a big robot or a small one?

2　　　　　　　　　　 What would you like your robot to do for you?

3　　　　　　　　　　 How long would you like your robot to work every day?

4　　　　　　　　　　 How long do you think the robot’s batteries should last for?

5　　　　　　　　　　 How long do you expect your robot to last?

T:　　 In these questions, we ask about different things. In question 1,　 we ask about the size. In question 2, we ask about the type of work. In question 3, we ask about the work hours. In question 4, we ask about the power. In question 5, we ask about the lifespan. (lifespan是指东西的使用寿命)

Step 2 Read the questionnaire 　　　　　

T:　　 When Daniel’s parents got Daniel the new robot, the shopkeeper had asked Daniel to fill in a questionnaire. Here is the completed questionnaire. You can also find the questionnaire on Page 35 in your books.

T:　　 Now, let’s have a look at the questionnaire.

Do you agree with Daniel’s answers? Discuss with your partner.

T:　　 Everything sounds good. But would the robot be like this? No, the robot went wrong after two weeks and it stopped working. Daniel decided to write a compliant letter to the shop. You can find the letter on Page 36 in your books.

T:　　　 Can you read the complaint letter and find out the differences between the robot and Daniel’s expectations?

T:　　 Have you finished reading the letter? Let’s have a look at the form.

Daniel thought the batteries would last at least 2 months, but they only lasted for 1 week.

Daniel thought the robot should work 24 hours a day, but the robot was actually very lazy.

Daniel thought the most important work for the robot was to help him with his homework, but the robot was to lazy to do anything and it needed to be instructed all the time.

Daniel chose a medium-sized robot from the list, but they sent him a small one.

Daniel thought the robot should only need checking every 6 months, but it needed to be checked after two weeks.

Daniel thought the robot would last at least 20 years, but it lasted only 2 weeks.

T:　　 So, have you helped Daniel complete his letter? Here are the keys.

(1)　 　 medium

(2)　 　2 months

(3)　 　24 hours every day

(4)　 　to help me with my homework

(5)　 　every 6 months

(6)　 　20 years

Now, let’s read the complaint letter together.

Step 3 Learn to write a complaint letter

T:　　 Very good. Now, let’s learn how to write a complaint letter. First we need to learn how to complain.

1　　　　 Tell them that you are not satisfied directly.

　　　 　　　 e.g. I am not at all satisfied with it. (我对它一点也不满意)

　　　 　　　 I am unhappy with its size. (我对它的尺寸不满意)

　　　 　　　 I am also not happy about the number of checking this robot needs. (我也不满意这个机器人需要检测的次数)

2　　　　 Tell them what it should be like.

　　　 　　　 e.g. I think it should last for at least 2 months. (我认为它应该至少持续2个月)

　　　 　　　 I expect a robot to last for at least 20 years. (我希望机器人能至少使用20年。)

3　　　　 Make it clear that it is their fault.

e.g. I chose a medium-sized robot from your list of robots, but you sent me a small one. (我从单子中选择了一个中号机器人，但你们却给我送来了一个小号的。)

T:　　 Now, let’s learn to write an English letter.

　　　 On the top right of the page, we need to write the sender’s address.

On the left side, we need to write the date first.　

And then the receiver’s address.

And then the greetings.　

And then the subject.

And then the main body.　

When you finish the writing the main body, we need to write the closing.

And in the end, we need the signature.

T:　　 Now, let’s have a look at Daniel’s complaint letter again.

Rm 702, Happy House, 155 Summer Road, Sunshine Town. This is the sender’s address.

　　　 22^nd March. This is the date.

　　　 Friendly Robots Co. Ltd, 100 Sun Street, Sunshine Town. This is the receiver’s address.

　　　 Dear Sir/Madam. This is the greetings. As we don’t know who you are exactly writing to, we usually use Dear Sir/Madam. If we are sure it’s a man or woman, then we can use Dear Sir or Dear Madam.

　　　 Robot model No. HUGO123BB. This is the subject.

　　　 From “Two weeks ago” to “Therefore, I would like to get my money back” is the main body of the letter.

　　　 Yours faithfully. This is the closing.

　　　 Daniel Chen. This is the signature.

运用本单元所学语言知识用英文写一封投诉信。

3. 情感目标

　 　通过学习写投诉信体会人际交往中互相沟通的重要性。

1. 知识目标

1) 词汇：掌握本课时的四会单词。

2) 词组：need to be checked　　　 　　　 　　　　　　　　 be satisfied with …

　　　　 　　 pay attention to your orders　　　 　 need checking

3) 句型：I expect a robot to last for at least two years, not two weeks.

Step 1 　Lead-in　

T:　　 Hello, everyone! Nice to see you again. Today we are going to learn the Grammar part together.

As we know, Millie is also thinking about buying a robot. But she hasn’t decided yet. She’s asking Daniel a few questions. Look at the questions. 　

l　　　 Can the robot cook?

l　　　 Will the robot bring any bad changes to your life?

l　　　 Can you stay in bed for a bit longer?

l　　　 Do robots sometimes go wrong?

l　　　 Can you return it to the shop?

T:　　 Can you make sentences with “if” or “whether”? For example, No. 1, “Can the robot cook?”

　　　　 Millie asked Daniel if/whether the robot could cook.

　　　　 Now, it’s your time to have a try.

　　　　 Millie asked Daniel if/whether the robot would bring any bad changes to his life.

　　　　 Millie asked Daniel if/whether he could stay in bed for a bit longer.

　　　　 Millie asked Daniel if/whether robots sometimes went wrong.

　　　　 Millie asked Daniel if/whether he could return it to the shop.

T:　　 (用if/whether引导的宾语从句是我们在9B第一单元中学习的内容，大家可以看到这些句子在变为宾语从句前都是一般疑问句。在这里我给大家提一个问题，如果这些句子变为特殊疑问句，我们应该如何使用宾语从句呢？今天我们就来学习用特殊疑问词引导的宾语从句。)Let’s look at the following sentences.

Step 2 Presentation and practice

T:　　 1. The robot no longer knew …. When should it cook breakfast?

2. Mr Jiang did not know …. What should he do with the robot?

　　　　 (如果用宾语从句来连成一句呢？)Please open your books at Page 29.

　　　　 The robot no longer knew when it should cook breakfast.

　　　　 Mr Jiang did not know what he should do with the robot.

T:　　 (看这两个例句，同学们能不能根据上一单元学过的if/whether引导的宾语从句来总结一下规则呢？)

　　　　 规则一：我们用原来的特殊疑问词连接，不需加if/whether。

　　　　 规则二：从句部分用陈述句顺序。(这一点和if/whether引导的宾语从句是一样的。

T:　　 So do you know how to use object clauses introduced by ‘wh-’ words now? Let’s have a try. Would you please finish the exercises here below on Page 29. Here we have 6 questions from Daniel. Can you finish the sentences here below?

　　　 Where did Mr Jiang buy the robot?

When does the robot cook breakfast?

What did the robot buy at the supermarket?

How does the robot wash up?

Why did Mr Jiang return the robot?

Who will repair the robot that went wrong?

T:　　 Have you finished? Let’s check your answers.

1　　　　 I’d like to know where Mr Jiang bought the robot.

2　　　　 Can Mr Jiang tell me when the robot cooks breakfast?

3　　　　 I can’t imagine what the robot bought at the supermarket.

4　　　　 I want to know how the robot washes up.

5　　　　 Can Mr Jiang explain why he returned the robot?

6　　　　 I want to ask Mr Jiang who will repair the robot that went wrong.

大家要特别留意动词在从句中变为陈述句顺序后发生的变化。

T:　　 Now, let’s do some exercises.

1　　　　　 I’d like to know …　 　　　　　　　 Where is your school?

2　　　　　 Can you tell me …　 　　　　 How far is the park from here?

3　　　　　 I can’t imagine …　　　　　　 How did they climb up the rocks?

4　　　　　 Can anyone explain …　　　 Why does the sun always rise in the east?

5　　　　　 I want to ask Jim …　　　　　 What will he do at the weekend?

T:　　 Let’s check your answers.

1　　　　　 I’d like to know where your school is.

2　　　　　 Can you tell me how far the park is from here?

3　　　　　 I can’t imagine how they climbed up the rocks.

4　　　　　 Can anyone explain why the sun always rises in the east?

5　　　　　 I want to ask Jim what he will do at the weekend.

T:　　 特殊疑问词引导的宾语从句我们就学到这里。下面我们来学习in order to和as a result这两个结构。这两个结构我们在Reading部分都已经接触过了，分别用来表示“目的”和“结果”。一起来看一下书上的讲解吧。Please open your books at Page 30.

T:　　 ‘In order to’ means ‘with the purpose of’. We can use ‘in order to’ to introduce the purpose of an action. 　in order to意思是“为了 ……”。我们用in order to来引出一个动作的目的。

We use ‘as a result’ to introduce the result of something. 我们用as a result来引出某事的结果。

T:　　 Now let’s look at some examples.

　　　 In order to have more spare time, I decided to buy a robot.

　　　 I decided to buy a robot in order to have more spare time.

　　　 The robot did all the housework. As a result, Mr Jiang no longer needed to get up early.

(从例句中我们可以看出in order to可以放在句首也可以放在句中，如果放在句首的话，我们要用逗号把两部分隔开。而as a result一般都放在句首，并且在它后面一般用逗号隔开。

T:　　 Now, let’s do some exercises. Please open your books at Page 30. Please rearrange the words and add ‘in order to’ or ‘as a result’ to make complete sentences.

T:　　 Have you finished? Let’s check your answers.

1　　　　 In order to watch my favourite TV programmes, I had my robot wash up after dinner. OR

I had my robot wash up after dinner in order to watch my favourite TV programmes.

2　　　　 My robot made a lunch box for me. As a result, I did not have to go out for lunch.

3　　　　 In order to keep my flat as clean as new, I had my robot sweep the floor every day.　 OR

I had my robot sweep the floor every day in order to keep my flat as clean as new.

4　　　　 My robot caught a virus. As a result, my flat was in a mess.

5　　　　 My robot was just too much trouble. As a result, I returned it to the shop.

T:　　 Now, let’s work out the rules. We can use ‘in order to’ at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence.

T:　　 学完这两个句型后，我们继续来学习need to的用法。

　　　 We can use ‘need to’ to talk about something that we have to do.

T:　　 For example:

　　　 Mr Jiang no longer needed to do housework because he had a robot. (江先生不再需要做家务了，因为他有了一个机器人。)

　　　 Mr Jiang needs to return his robot to the shop because it is not working. (江先生不得不把机器人还到商店去，因为它不工作了。)

T:　　 Now, let’s do some exercises. Please open your books at Page 31. There is something wrong with Daniel’s robot. Help Daniel’s father give Daniel some suggestions using ‘need to’.

T:　　 Have you finished? Let’s check your answers.

　　　 Maybe (2) you need to check all the connections.

　　　 Maybe (3) you need to clean its cameras.

　　　 I’m afraid (4) you need to do it yourself.

　　　 Maybe I (5) need to read the instructions again.

　　　 I think you (6) need to return it to the shop.

T:　　 Now, let’s work out the rules. We use the base form of a verb after ‘need to’.

T:　　 Good. You’ve done a good job. Now would you please read this dialogue in groups? The students on the left will be Daniel. The students on the right will be Mr Chen.
