Unit 4 Why don't you talk to your parents-Section A-Grammar Focus-4c 【教学目标】 Language Ability: Master "Why don't you...?" for giving advice, and use modal verbs like should/shouldn’t correctly. Cultural Awareness: Understand how to express concerns and offer help in daily communication. Thinking Quality: Analyze problems logically and propose feasible solutions. Learning Ability: Collaborate to practice advice-giving and apply grammar in real-life scenarios. 【教学重难点】 Key: Structure and usage of "Why don’t you + verb 原形" for suggestions. Difficult: Distinguish between "should" (obligation) and "could" (possibility) in advice-giving. Avoid grammar errors like missing verb 原形 after modal verbs. Practice integrating vocabulary (e.g., communicate, argue) with sentence patterns. 【教学过程】 Teacher: Good morning, class! Today, we're going to continue with Unit 4. We've already talked about some problems that teenagers might face in the previous lessons. Now, let's focus on the Grammar Focus part. First, let's look at these sentences on the screen together. Teacher: "Why don't you go to sleep earlier this evening?" Who can tell me what this sentence is used for? Any volunteers? Student 1: It's used to give advice. Teacher: Exactly! Very good, Student 1. The structure "Why don't you + verb (base form)" is a common way to make a suggestion. It's a very useful structure in daily conversations. Now, I want you all to think of another example using this structure. You can discuss with your partners for a minute. (Students start discussing in pairs) Teacher: Okay, time's up. Who wants to share their example? Student 2: Why don't you join our basketball team? Teacher: Great example! That's very creative. Can you tell us, Student 2, what situation this advice might be given in? Student 2: Maybe someone likes sports but doesn't have a team to play with. Teacher: Perfect explanation. Now, let's move on to another sentence in the Grammar Focus: "You should talk to your parents." How is this different from the "Why don't you" sentence we just discussed? Student 3, what do you think? Student 3: "You should" is also giving advice, but it sounds more direct. Teacher: Excellent observation! "You should" is indeed more straightforward in giving advice. It indicates that the speaker thinks it's a good or right thing to do. Let's practice this. I'll describe a situation, and you use "You should" to give advice. Suppose your friend lost his wallet. What advice would you give? Student 4: You should go to the lost and found office. Teacher: Good advice. And if your friend is having trouble with math homework? Student 5: You should ask the teacher for help. Teacher: Well done, everyone. Now, let's look at some other important parts in the Grammar Focus. We have sentences with "until", "although", and "so that". First, "He didn't leave until his mother came back." Can anyone explain the meaning of "until" here? Student 6? Student 6: It means he waited and left at the time when his mother came back. Teacher: Right. "Until" shows the time up to which an action continues. Now, let's make some sentences using "until". I'll start. "I will study until I finish my homework." Your turn. Student 7? Student 7: She will wait until the bus arrives. Teacher: Very good. Now, let's look at "although". "Although it was raining, he still went to school." What does "although" mean? Student 8? Student 8: It means "even though", showing a contrast. Teacher: Correct. "Although" is used to introduce a contrast or concession. Now, make your own sentence with "although". Student 9: Although he is very busy, he always helps others. Teacher: Great sentence. Finally, let's look at "so that". "He studies hard so that he can get good grades." What's the function of "so that" here? Student 10? Student 10: It shows the purpose. Teacher: Exactly. "So that" is used to express the purpose of an action. Now, let's practice making sentences with "so that". Student 11? Student 11: I save money so that I can buy a new bike. Teacher: Well done. Now, let's move on to 4a. Look at the problems in the box. We'll work in pairs. One of you will be A, and the other will be B. A, you start by reading a problem, and B, you give advice using the structures we've just learned. Then, switch roles. Let's start. (Students start working in pairs. The teacher walks around the classroom, listening and providing guidance) Teacher: Okay, time's up. Let's have some pairs come to the front and share their conversations. Pair 1, please. Pair 1 (Student A): I'm really stressed out. Pair 1 (Student B): Why don't you listen to some music to relax? You should also take a break from studying. Teacher: Good job, Pair 1. The advice is clear and uses the correct structures. Pair 2, your turn. Pair 2 (Student A): My friend borrowed my book and didn't return it. Pair 2 (Student B): You should talk to your friend and ask for it back. Maybe you could also remind him politely that you need it. Teacher: Excellent. Now, let's move on to 4b. Here, we have some more situations. This time, we'll work in groups of four. Each group member takes turns to choose a situation and then the others in the group give advice. You can use "Why don't you", "You should", or "Maybe you could". Also, try to use the conjunctions "until", "although", and "so that" in your advice if possible. Start now. (Students start working in groups. The teacher continues to monitor and help) Teacher: Okay, let's stop here. Which group wants to share their discussion? Group 1? Group 1 (Student A): The situation I chose is that I'm afraid of speaking in public. Group 1 (Student B): Why don't you practice in front of a mirror until you feel more confident? Group 1 (Student C): You should also join a public speaking club so that you can get more opportunities to practice. Group 1 (Student D): Although it might be scary at first, you have to face your fear. Maybe you could start by speaking to a small group of friends. Teacher: Wonderful! You all gave very practical advice and used the grammar structures correctly. Now, let's summarize what we've learned today. We've learned how to give advice using "Why don't you", "You should", and "Maybe you could". We also learned the usage of the conjunctions "until", "although", and "so that". Remember, these are very useful in our daily conversations, especially when we want to help others solve their problems or express our own ideas. For homework, I want you to write a short passage. Describe a problem you or your friend has and then give at least three pieces of advice using the structures we learned today. Also, try to use at least one of the conjunctions in your passage. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
