T: Good morning/ afternoon, everyone!

Ss: Good morning/ afternoon, Mr. / Ms…

T: It is very hot, what is the temperature?

S1: It is reported the highest temperature is 35°C.

T: Is it the hottest day recoded this summer?

S2: I don‘t think so. It was much hotter on July 26. The temperature was 37°C on that day.

T: Good. I‘m very glad you are careful about this. But do you know the lowest temperature recorded on earth? (Show the questions on Page 1on the PowerPoint.) Please work in groups and try to find the amazing facts.

Step III Listening

Ss: Yes.

T: Ok. How tall are you. Wang Fei?

S1: I‘m 175cms.

T: Then who is the tallest in your class?

Ss: Li Lei and he is 184cms tall.

T: Then we can say Li Lei is taller than Wang Fei. Do you know how tall Yao Ming is?

S2: He is 2.26 cm.

T: Then among the people we know Yao Ming is the tallest. OK, let‘s come to the listening part. You are going to hear someone talk about the size and the speed of humans and animals. Before we listen to the tape, let‘s look at the questions on Page 2.

Now work in groups and discuss the three questions. You are given five minutes.

Five minutes later, check the answers with the whole class. Various answers may be given.

The Fifth Period Grammar

Teaching Aims:

1. Review what can be used as subject.

2. Review some important rules about the Subject.

3. Do some exercises about the Grammar item---the Subject.

Teaching Important Points:

1. Master the differences between the infinitive and the v.-ing form used as the Subject.

2. Master the following sentence pattern: It‘s no use/good + v.-ing.

3. Pay attention to the Agreement.

Teaching Aids: 1. the multimedia 2. the blackboard

Teaching Procedures:

Step I Grammar Learning

1. What is Subject?

The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something. You can find the subject of a sentence if you can find the verb. Ask the question, ―Who or what ?verb-s‘ or ?verb-ed‘?‖ and the answer to that question is the subject.

e.g. The computers in the Learning Center must be replaced.

The really important issue of the conference, stripped of all other considerations, is the morality of the nation.

2. What can be used as Subject?

Noun, adjective, nonfinite verb, it, nominative personal pronoun and the subject clause and so on.

e.g. The azaleas were in full flower.杜鹃花正怒放

The unemployed usually lead a hard life.

# the differences between the infinitive and the v.-ing form used as the Subject

(1) 动名词作主语通常表示抽象动作;而不定式作主语表示具体动作。

Smoking is prohibited (禁止) here. 这里禁止抽烟。(抽象)

It is not very good for you to smoke so much. 你抽这么多烟对你身体很不好。(具体)

(2) 动名词作主语时,通常用以表示一件已知的事或经验。

不定式短语通常用来表示一件未完成的事或目的。

Climbing mountains is interesting. 爬山很有趣。(经验)

Driving a car during the rush hour is tiring. 在高峰时刻开车令人厌烦。(经验)

(3)不定式做主语,一般用it当形式主语,把作主语的不定式短语后置。

It took me only five minutes to finish the job.

It‘s no use waiting here.

Every person has rights under the law, but they don‘t always know them. 每个人都有权遵守法律,但他们常常不知道

What we need is more time. When to start is not decided yet.

3. A simple subject can be more than one word, even an entire clause.

e.g. What he had already forgotten about computer repair could fill whole volumes.

4. In English, the subject of a command, order, or suggestion - you, the person being directed is usually left out of the sentence and is said to be the understood subject.

e.g. 1. You step lively there, or I‘ll leave you behind!

2. Before assembling the swing set, you read these instructions carefully.

5. For purposes of sentence analysis, the doer or the initiator of action in a sentence is referred to as the agent of the sentence. In an active sentence, the subject is the agent.

e.g. 1. The Johnsons added a double garage to their house.

2. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter.

6. In a passive sentence, the agent is not the subject. In fact, sometimes a passive sentence will not contain an agent.

e.g. 1. The dean‘s report was reviewed by the faculty senate.

2. Three cities in the country‘s interior were bombed.
