Teaching and learning procedure:
Step 1 Review and leading in
Activity 1 Review and leading in
1. Review some of the language items learned in the previous period.
2. Lead in the teaching topic and introduce the learning objectives of this period.
Step 2 Discovering useful structures
Activity 2 Discovering the functions of the present participles
1. Read the sentences below and discuss the functions and meanings of the italicized -ing form.
1) These lanterns are amazing.
The present participle “amazing” is used as the predicative. It means very good, especially in an unexpected way. (动词-ing形式作表语,常位于系动词后,用以说明主语“是什么”或“怎么样”。)
2) During the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes.
The present participle “shining” is used as the attribute to modify the noun “moon”. It means bright and often splendid in appearance. (动词-ing形式作定语,常用来修饰、限定、说明名词或代词的品质与特征,用于名词前的成为前置定语;用于名词后的为后置定语。)
3) Families celebrating the Lunar New Year can enjoy exciting dragon dances and carnivals together.
The present participle “celebrating” is used as the attribute to modify the noun “Families”. The attribute is after the noun, which is equal to an attributive clause—who are observing a notable occasion with festivities. The present participle “exciting” is used as the attributive to modify the nouns “dragon dances and carnivals”. It means producing excitement. (动词-ing形式作前置或后置定语,用来修饰名词。)
2. Find more -ing forms used as the attribute or the predicative from the unit.
1) I think the Rio Carnival would be the most exciting. (表语)
2) It’ll be too tiring to walk or dance for a long time in those shoes. (表语)
3) Another example is Halloween, which slowly became an exciting festival for children, in spite of its religious origins. (定语)
4) The first week was a little confusing. (表语)
3. Read the messages posted by some exchange students on an Internet forum, then answer the questions. Learn about the usages of the present participle and the new words.
(网络帖子:互联网时代人们用来发表意见的常用文本形式,也是互联网社交的典型表现。)
1) Answers the questions:
(1) What are they discussing in the forum?
Which festival is the best?
(2) How are the messages arranged?
By time and date.
(3) What festivals are mentioned in the discussion?
Rio Carnival, the Spring Festival, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas.
2) Talk about the usages of the present participles in sentences.
Used as the predicative: amazing,
Used as the attribute: relaxing, exciting, getting, eating, watching, laughing, talking, shining, smiling, singing, wishing
Used as the subject (v-ing): walking,
Used as the adverbial: enjoying
3) Learn about the new words.
atmosphere n. 大气层;空气;氛围,环境 in a pleasant atmosphere
lunar adj. 月的,月球的;阴历的 lunar new year
eve n. 前夕;傍晚
envelope n. 信封;封皮;包裹物
merry adj. 愉快的,快活的;有趣的 Merry Christmas and happy New Year!

Step 3 Learning about the structure
Activity 3 Learning about the structure—present participles used as the predicative and the attribute
I动词-ing形式作定语
1. 单个现在分词作定语与分词短语作定语
e.g. Do you know the swimming boy in the swimming pool? 你认识那个正在游泳池里游泳的男孩吗?
He brought us surprising news. 他给我们带来了惊人的消息。
The students running along the street are from No.3 Middle School.
=The students who/that are running along the street are from No.3 Middle School.
正沿街跑步的学生们来自第三中学。
The woman holding a baby in her arms is waiting to see the doctor.
=The woman who/that is holding a baby in her arms is waiting to see the doctor.
怀抱婴儿的那位妇女正在等着看医生。
总结:前置定语指单个动词-ing形式作定语,常置于被修饰的名词之前,有些动词-ing形式已转化为形容词,表示“令人……的”。后置定语指动词-ing形式短语作定语,常置于被修饰的名词之后,它和被修饰词之间有逻辑上的主动关系,表示被修饰词正在进行的动作,相当于一个定语从句。
2.动词-ing形式、过去分词和不定式作定语的区别
e.g. The boy playing football on the playground is my younger brother.(表示动作正在进行)
在操场上踢足球的那个男孩是我的弟弟。
The problem discussed at the meeting is very important.(表示动作已经完成)
会上讨论过的问题非常重要。
His dream to become an astronaut will come true after he graduates from university.
(表示动作将要发生) 大学毕业后,他成为宇航员的梦想就要实现了。
总结:动词-ing形式作定语表示动作正在进行或习惯性的动作;过去分词作定语表示被动或完成;不定式作定语表示动作尚未发生。动词-ing形式作定语和被修饰词之间是逻辑上的主动关系,但动词-ing形式作定语也有被动形式即being done。
e.g. The man talking to Tim is his uncle. 和蒂姆说话的那个人是他的叔叔。
The topic being discussed at the moment is about music.
=The topic which/that is being discussed at the moment is about music.
现在正在被讨论的话题是关于音乐的。
II 动词-ing形式作表语
1. 动名词作表语表示主语的内容,主语、表语可互换位置。
e.g. What worries me most is her staying up too late every night.
(=Her staying up too late every night is what worries me most.)
最使我担心的是她每天熬夜到很晚。
2. 现在分词作表语
e.g. Your speech is very interesting and encouraging. 你的演讲非常有趣且鼓舞人心。
The news is exciting. 这则消息令人兴奋。
总结:表明主语的性质和特征,有些作表语的-ing形式由表示人们某种感情或情绪的动词转化而来,如moving,interesting,encouraging,exciting,inspiring,boring,surprising,puzzling,amusing,astonishing等。
3. 不定式和动词-ed形式也可作表语
e.g. My wish is to find a part-time job this summer. 我的愿望就是今年夏天能找到一份兼职工作。
I was disappointed at this decision. 我对这个决定感到失望。
总结:不定式作表语通常强调一次性的、具体的、将要发生的动作;动词-ed形式作表语表示由外因而使之具备的性质和特征,意为“感到……的”。
