(the word ‘that’ can often be left out: dean said he didn’t know what to do.) 3. indirect questionsdirect question: “did marama’s horse win a prize?” owen asked. indirect questions: owen asked whether (or if) marama’s horse had won a prize.the same rules apply to indirect questions as to indirect statements. the difference is that a wh- clause is used instead of a that clause. direct question: “why won’t you marry me?” asked donald. indirect question: donald asked her why she wouldn’t marry him. in telling a story or recounting events, a speaker using direct speech has all the resources of intonation to produce a lively account. because indirect speech is always speech reported by someone else, the account is more reserved and restrained. “what shall we do?” asked bev.“don’t worry, bev,” said duncan, “i’ve got a plan.”bev asked duncan what they should do. he told her not to worry and that he had got a plan.the ability to change direct speech into indirect speech is a useful skill for those engaged in taking the minutes of a meeting or reporting on events. direct speech: “first of all, i would like to thank everybody who helped with the fair. the results were very good, and we will now be able to buy two more computers.” indirect speech: the principal said that he would like to thank everybody who had helped with the fair. he announced that the results were very good and that the school would now be able to buy two more computers.iii. discovering words and expressionsdo exercises 1, 2, 3 and 4 on page 4 and 5. check your work with your partner’s. iv. discovering

words in ex 3.ii. talking about designing a questionnairework in groups of four. design a questionnaire to find out what kind of friends your classmates are. ask the students to use the quiz in the warming up as an example.note: the students should be talking while they are doing the task. this provides the students with the opportunity to practise expressing thought and concern in matters of immediate concern and interest. tell the students to follow these steps:step1: in your group, come up with four situations among friends. design four questions accordingly with three possible answers.step2: put the four questions together and form a questionnaire.step3: check the questionnaire through and try it out on your own group.step4: share your questionnaire with another group and try each other’s questionnaires.sample questionnaire:this questionnaire has four questions, and each question is followed by a set of possible answers. please read the questions, and then consider which response fits you best.1.why am i close friends with this person now?a. because being friends with him/her helps me feel important.b. because my friend would be upset if i ended the relationship.c. because he/she is someone i really enjoy sharing emotions and special events with.2. why do i spend time with my friend?a. because my friend would get mad at me if i didn’t.b. because it is fun spending time with him/her.c. because i think it is what friends are supposed to do.3.why do i listen to my friend’s problems, or to what my friend has to say?a. because my friend praises me and makes me feel good when i do.b. because it’s interesting and satisfying to be able to share like that.c. because i really value getting to know my friend better.4.why do i keep promises to my friend?a. because i believe it is an important personal quality to live up to my promises to a friend.b. because it would threaten our friendship if i were not trustworthy.c. because i would feel bad

questionnaires in the school to collect more information about students’ reflection of the values of friendship. iii. guided writing1. read the letter to the editor from xiaodong and make sure you know what problem xiaodong has. 2. discuss in groups of four. think what advice you can give xiaodong.3. write your advice to xiaodong as an editor individually. sample writing:dear xiaodong,some people like talking with others, but some people are shy. if you fall into the second group, it can be hard to make friends. but you can change the situation.what are you interested in? if you like basketball, for example, you could talk with some of your classmates who like basketball. the easiest way to start talking to people is to find something you have in common.if you are standing beside a group of your classmates, join in their discussion if you know something about the subject they are discussing. but if you don’t, you shouldn’t feel afraid to say, for example, “that sounds interesting, what is it about?” once you start talking to one person, it will get easier to talk to others.find one person you have something in common with, and once you become friends with him, his friends will start talking to you too.good luck!editoriv. writing assessment1. can you give xiaodong some good advice?2. i s your letter well developed?3. are your ideas well organized to the point?4.

that might seem like a silly question. we all tend to think, “of course they bring out the best in me. i wouldn’t be friends with them otherwise.”section 2: vocabulary teaching strategyi. the role of vocabulary teachingin the context of learning english as a foreign language, a learner is forced to be autonomous and independent and make conscious effort to learn vocabulary outside the classroom simply because the exposure to the target language is limited in class. so teachers cannot rely on their students ‘picking up’ lexical items. this makes explicit vocabulary teaching necessary. however, vocabulary is notoriously difficult if not impossible to teach because of the complexity of its linguistic, semantic and psycho-cognitive aspects共13页,当前第9页12345678910111213ii. best approachthere are no universally useful strategies and they contribute to vocabulary learning in different ways. students use a number of strategies, often simultaneously. the efficiency of vocabulary learning depends on how students combine individual strategies. if students combine and employ individual strategies from different groups they will be more successful in developing the target language lexicon. thus, the ideal combination would be that of strategies from all four groups. the teacher should create activities and tasks (to be done both in and outside class) to help students to build their vocabulary and develop strategies to learn the vocabulary on their own. students experiment and evaluate and then decide which to adopt or reject since strategies are not intended to be prescriptive. iii. practical activitieshere is a selection of practical activities that direct learners towards using strategies of vocabulary learning. 1. the useful alphabet (self-initiated independent learning) each student gets a letter and has to find 5, 10 or 15 words he or she thinks would be useful for him or her. he or she then report to the class, perhaps as a mingle activity, using word cards (on one side they write the letter, on the other the information on the word - spelling, pronunciation, definition).2. word bag (formal practice)this is to get your students to write down new words they hear in class.at the beginning of the term/course, divide students into groups of about 5 and give each group a number (e.g. 1-6). at the beginning of each class, give each group about 10 cards on which they write the number of their group and the new words they hear in class. at the end of each class, they put their cards into the “word bag” and every 2 weeks you check whether they still know those words and which group has the most cards. in the end there are two winners: the group that has the most cards, and the one that knows more words.3. especially for you (functional practice)the teacher prepares a list of words. each student gets one word, which is prepared especially for him or her. the trick is that each student gets a word whose initial letter is the same as the initial of the student’s first name, e.g. linda gets listless. each student must look it up in the dictionary during the class and after a few minutes report to the class. e.g. “my name is linda and i’m listless. that means that i am ... (definition)...”. for homework students can do the same using their surname. 共13页,当前第10页123456789101112134. word tour (memorizing)instructions for your students: think of a town or city you know well. imagine that you are organizing a sightseeing tour. think of 5 places you would include on your tour and write down the order in which the tourists would visit them. learn your tour off by heart so that you can picture it in your mind. whenever you have 5 new english words to learn, imagine these words are the tourists on your tour and picture the words in the places on your tour like this.tour: trafalgar square; buckingham palace; houses of parliament; westminster abbey; downing street. words to learn: apron, dustpan, vacuum cleaner, feather duster, broom. imagine nelson on his column in trafalgar square wearing an apron, the queen brushing the floor in buckingham palace and using a dustpan...section 3: words and expressions from unit 1 friendshipadd v.1. put something with something else or with a group of other things: do you want to add your name to the list? 2. to put two or more numbers together in order to calculate the total: add 6 and 6 to make 12. 3. to increase the number: the sales tax adds 15% to the price of clothes. 4. to say some more that is related to what has already been said: that’s all i want to say. is there anything you’d like to add.other verbal phrases of “add”add t to make something larger and more noticeable: our explanation seemed only to add to his bewilderment. add up: to calculate the total of several numbers: add your scores up and we’ll see who won. add up t to have a particular result: his schooling added up to no more than one year.point: n. 1. small spot: the stars shone like tiny points of light in the sky. 2. sharp end: a knife with a very sharp point. 3. a unit used to show the score in a game or sport: she lost three points for that fall.(in a skating match)upset: 1. vt. & vi. to make someone feel unhappy or worried: i’m sorry, i didn’t mean to upset you. 2.adj.
