A:hi, guy! how is it going!

B:oh,well.you know i am busy all the time.

A:the college entrance examination has come to an end,which recalls me much of the days brought to me.Now,billions of senior students have gained their freedom in some way.have you heard the report that about 840,000 senior students gave up it this year?

B:yes,in my opinion,it seems less important to take part in it since we have many choices when we expect a brilliant future!

A:all right.as a undergraduate,i realize that even you enter a excellent college,that doesn't mean you would achieve more and gain success.

B:I agree,high education highlights the learning methods instead of what we learn. So,here in college,knowledge and ability matter most,not just solely based on high goals in exam.

A:What do you want to do for your corporate life in the future?

B: i prefer to be a good ads designer .

A:oh,great!it involves creativity and good ideas.but every day when i meet with ads on TV or on the Internet.,i just ignore it.I think ads sometimes drive ma mad.

B:indeed.there are quite a few ads lacking of creativity and

origin,but we can't deny some good ads have impressed upon us and make our life better and easier.

A:i do agree,ads help promote products and services of a company to extend market share,meanwhile,they make us easily accessible to high quality products and save a lot of time in picking up and figuring out which one to buy.

B:in fact.to be a good ads designer,you need to keep up with times and learn new technology,such as 3D and PS and related skills.

A:it sounds a hard process.and technology really benefit us a great deal,and improve the quality of life,but it also causes many problems that can't be solved with it.

B:yes,you know every coin has two sides.

A:just put it aside,at least we are advancing. If you find your ideal job ,which city would you prefer to stay in ?

B:shanghai.it is a big city and full of good chances.there i can achieve success.but now ,all of that seem impossible......ai.....

A:what's the matter? Guy!you can make it !

B: you know,the final examination is approaching.I am so worried about that !

A:come on! Just a test!thinking about how you get over the tough difficulties in life,exam is just a piece of cake! And what is the biggest difficulty that you met in your life!

B:oh ,let me think.right,just about learning swimming!it seemed really hard for me in the beginning ,but I make it after learning painful lessons and practising day by day!it's absolute success when you clear all of the obstles in the way!

A:i am happy for you!see,since you have done a good job,the test may not be a question,eh?but for me,the biggest difficulty that most impressed me was how to get a balance between study and recreation.so far,i have figured out some solutions to it!

B:that's very good!

A:keep it in mind :there is no short cut in life!when you encounter hardships,just face it and learn to handle them on your own.

一.本课要点及示例

在这课里我们要学习怎么用many, m-a-n-y, many 跟 much, m-u-c-h, much.这两个 字都有 "很多" 的意思, 可是用法不同. 另外我们还要学习用 there is 跟 there are 做句子.

首先还是请你听一段对话, 内容是说 Henry 跟 Kate 的儿子 Peter 要参加学校办 的夏季旅行团到纽约去玩. 他问妈妈应该带几个箱子, 带多少钱等等问题. 我们

还是先用正常速度把这段会话念一遍, 请你注意英文老师的发音和声调: M: Mom, I'm going to spend two weeks in New York this summer.

F: That's wonderful!

M: How many suitcases do I have to take?

F: Take two - a big one and a small one.

M: How much money do I need to take?

F: About three hundred dollars.

M: Are there many interesting places in New York?

F: Yes,there are a lot of museums and beautiful churches.

现在我们用慢速度再把这段对话念一遍给你听:

M: Mom, I'm going to spend two weeks in New York this summer.

F: That's wonderful!

M: How many suitcases do I have to take?

F: Take two - a big one and a small one.

M: How much money do I need to take?

F: About three hundred dollars.

M: Are there many interesting places in New York?

M: How many suitcases do I have to take?

M: How much money do I need to take?

M: Are there many interesting places in New York?

F: Yes,there are a lot of museums and beautiful churches.

二.MANY和NUCH

下面我们看看什么时候用many, 什么时候用much. 刚才我说过这两个字的意思 都是 "很多", 相当于 a lot of 这个词组, 可是在用法上的区别是凡是指可以数的 东西就用many, 指不可以数的或是统称性的名词就用 much. 一般说来 many 跟 much 多半是用在疑问句和否定句里, 而 a lot of 则不受限制.

现在我们来作一组练习, 内容都是说到 Peter 的朋友问他关于到纽约去的事情. 请注意朋友提出的问句用的都是 many, 而 Peter 都是用 a lot of 作肯定的回答. 好, 现在我们开始练习. 请你每听一句就跟着重复.

F: Are you going to New York with many friends?

M: Yes, I'm going to New York with a lot of friends.

F: Are you going to visit many interesting places in New York?

M: Yes, I'm going to visit a lot of interesting places.

M: Yes, I'm going to eat in a lot of restaurants.

F: Are you going to write many letters to your parents?

M: Yes, I'm going to write a lot of letters to my parents.

下面一组练习谈的还是 Peter 到纽约的事情. 这次朋友用的是 a lot of 来提出问 句, 可是 Peter 用 much 作否定的答覆. 还是请你听一句, 重复一句.

F: Do you need a lot of time to pack?

M: No, I don't need much time to pack.

F: Do you plan to take a lot of money with you to New York?

M: No, I don't plan to take much money with me to New York.

M: No, I don't want to spend much time shopping in New York.

F: Do you plan to spend a lot of money in New York?

M: No, I don't plan to spend much money in New York.

下面我们给你多举一些例子, 内容都是说 Kate 需要到市场去买些什么菜. 第一 组练习是用 many. 每个句子我们念两遍, 请你跟着练习.

M: How many chickens does Kate need to buy?

一.本课要点及示例

在这一课里, 我们要学习的是助动词 should, s-h-o-u-l-d, should 跟 must,

m-u-s-t, must 的用法. 我们也要看看这两个助动词的否定式 should not

也就是 shouldn't 和 must not 也就是 mustn't 在意思上跟 don't have to

这个词组有什么分别.

首先我还是请两位英文老师给你念一段对话, 请你注意听英文老师的发

音和声调.

F: Peter, can you help me for a minute?

M: Yes, what do you want me to do?

F: Will you take the garbage out?

M: Do I have to do it now?

your father for a ride.

好, 现在我们再把刚才那段对话用慢速度念一遍, 请你注意听:

F: Peter, can you help me for a minute?

M: Yes, what do you want me to do?

F: Will you take the garbage out?

M: Do I have to do it now?

M: All right. I really must go now; otherwise I'll be late for school.

F: You have an exam this morning, don't you? You mustn't be late. Maybe you should ask

your father for a ride.

在彼得跟他母亲的这段对话里, 有几个句子用了我们今天要学的助动词

should, must 跟它们的否定式 shouldn't, mustn't 还有 have to 跟 don't

have to 这两个词组, 现在我请老师把包含了这些词的句子用慢速度再念

好, 现在我们给你多举一些例子. 每个句子我们念两遍, 请你听一遍, 跟着 重复一遍.

M: It's cold. You should wear a sweater.

M: Peter is late. He should ask his father for a ride.

好, 现在我们换一个方式作练习, 先由老师说一句话, 比方: "下雨了!" It's raining. 接着老师给你一个词组: "带雨伞" carry an umbrella 请你用 should 这个字来完成句子, 所以答案就是: "下雨了, 你应该带雨伞". It's raining. You should carry an umbrella. 好, 现在我们开始练习. 在你作完 句子之后,请注意听正确的答案.

M: Peter is a good player.

M: join the team

F: You shouldn't go to so many movies.

M: drive so fast

F: You shouldn't drive so fast.

三.MUST

下面我们来学另外一个助动词 must. 这个字表示必须作某件事情, 没有 其他选择. 比方有一句话: " 亨利要上飞机了, 他非有飞机票不可 ", 这句 话英文可以这么说: Henry is going on an airplane. He must have a ticket. 现在我们给你多举一些例子. 每个句子我们还是念两遍, 还是请你听一 遍, 重复一遍.

M: listen to the radio

四.HAVE TO

刚才我们学习了两个助动词 should 和 must, 还有它们的否定式 shouldn't 和 mustn't, 现在我们来学习另外一个意思跟 must 相同的词组 have to. 这 个词组也是用来表示非作某件事不可. 比方有一句话: "你非得清理院子 吗?" 英文可以这样说: Do you have to clean the yard? 另外一句话: "你非 得工作挣零用钱吗?" 英文可以这样说: Do you have to work to earn your allowance?

一.本课要点及示例

在这一课里, 我们要学习动词的简单过去式, 看看在叙述过去发生的事情的时 候动词有什么样的变化.

现在我们先来听一段会话, 内容是说彼得和他的同学玛丽谈论他们去年的暑假

作了些什么事情. 这段会话里用的动词大多数是简单过去式, 请你特别注意听, 同时也要注意英文老师的发音和语调.

M: Where did you go during vacation?

F: I didn't go anywhere. I stayed home.

M: Did you work?

F: No, I took two courses in summer school.

M: Why did you do that?

F: Because I wanted to get ahead a little.

M: How were those courses?

F: They were interesting and I met a lot of people.

M: You were very busy then.

现在我请英文老师用慢速度再把刚才那段会话念一遍.

M: Where did you go during vacation?

F: I didn't go anywhere. I stayed home.

F: Because I wanted to get ahead a little.

M: How were those courses?

F: They were interesting and I met a lot of people.

F: I stayed home.

F: I took two courses in summer school.

F: I wanted to get ahead a little.

M: How were those courses?

F: I met a lot of people.

F: I enjoyed the summer very much.

二. 规则动词的过去式

听了刚才那段会话,你或许已经注意到了英文动词分为规则动词和不规则动词. 规则动词的过去式就是: 在现在式动词后面加上 e-d, 比方: "停留" stay, s-t-a-y, stay, "要" want, w-a-n-t, want, 都是这类动词.

下面我们用这些过去式动词作句子.下面这些句子叙述玛丽去年夏天作的事.每 个句子我们念两遍, 请你听一遍, 跟着重复一遍:

M: Mary stayed home last summer.

F: Mary stayed home last summer.

M: Mary enjoyed going to summer school.

F: Mary enjoyed going to summer school.

M: Mary traveled to interesting places.

F: Mary traveled to interesting places.

M: Mary visited her friends.

F: Mary visited her friends.

下面这些句子叙述彼得去年夏天的活动. 还是请你听一遍, 跟着重复一遍. M: Peter worked at a gasoline station.

下面我们来作换字练习. 练习的内容都是说玛丽昨天晚上作了什么事, 比方她 弹吉他, 学法文等等. 首先由老师念一个句子, 然后老师给你一个新词组, 请你 把新词组代换到原来的句子里. 每作完一句就请你听正确的答案.

M: Mary played guitar last night.

M: listened to the radio

F: Mary listened to the radio last night.

M: washed dishes

F: Mary washed dishes last night.

M: typed a letter

M: needed some money

F: Peter needed some money last night.

M: borrowed ten dollars

F: Peter borrowed ten dollars last night.

M: watched television

F: Peter watched television last night.

M: cleaned up his room

F: Peter cleaned up his room last night.

刚才我们练习了用规则动词过去式作肯定句, 现在我们看一看怎么样把那些句 子变成问句. 在把过去式句子变成问句的时候要用 did, d-i-d, did 开头. 请注意: 用了did 之后, 句子里的主要动词保持现在式. 现在我们来作一组练习. 由老师 用 did 开头作一些过去式的问句, 请学生作简短的答覆. 现在请你注意听. M: Did Mary stay home last summer?

F: Yes, she did.

M: Did Mary enjoy going to summer school?

F: Yes, she did.

M: Did Mary work last summer?

F: No, she didn't.

M: Did Peter work at a gasoline station?

F: Yes, he did.

M: Did Peter travel last summer?

F: No, he didn't.

M: Did Peter save a lot of money last summer?

F: Yes, he did.

现在我们换一个方式作练习. 由老师以过去式动词作一个陈述句, 请学生用did 跟老师提出的新主词把原来的句子改成问句; 然后学生再用 didn't 作否定的答 覆. 首先我们要举个例子:

M: Peter watched television last weekend.

M: Mary

F: Did Mary watch television last weekend?

F: No, she didn't watch.

现在我们开始. 请你在学生作练习的时候也跟着作.

M: Peter watched television last weekend.

M: Mary

F: Did Mary watch television last weekend?
