教学过程
Step I Grammar
Non-defining attributive clauses
1.Do Activity 1 on Page 6,
(1)Ask students to look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions:
a I walk through the doors into the waiting area,where there's a familiar atmosphere of boredom and tension.
b... laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better, which means clown doctors can be helpful.
c I spent much of the time when I was there feeling frightened...
·What do “where”,“which” and "when"refer to in each sentence?
·Which sentences contain a clause with essential information and which with extra information? If you take away the clauses, do the sentences still make sense?
·Which clauses are separated by a comma, the ones with essential information or the ones with extra information?
Suggested answers:
·In sentence (a)“where"refers to "the waiting area”; in sentence(b) "which"refers to "...laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better"; in sentence (c)"when" relers to "the time".
·Sentence (c) contains a clause with essential information, sentences (a) and (b) contain clauses with extra information. If we take away the clause of sentence (c), the meaning of it is incomplete. H wo take away the clauses of sentences (a) and (b), the two sentences still make senso.
· Sentences (a) and (b) with extra information are scparated by commas.
(2)Ask students to look for more sentences with non-defining sttributiva clauaes in the rending passage, and summarise their uses m their own words.
2. Give more examples of the usages of non-defining attribotive clauses, Then ask students to give examplos.
