In this class, we are going to focus on Assessing Your Progress of Unit 5 Languages Around the World. This part is very important as it helps you review and check how well you have mastered the knowledge and skills in this unit. So, let's get started. First of all, let's look at Activity 1. Here, we are going to read the first part of a passage and find suitable words for the blanks. The words we can choose from are "attitude", "classic", "point of view", "civilisation", "despite", "native", "related to", and "struggle". Let's read the passage together. "The first foreign language I ever learnt was French, but it didn't go very well. My mother asked our neighbour to teach me when I was seven. French wasn't his _ language, but he used to live in France, so he could speak a little. However, _ his help, I learnt very little French. I just didn't feel that it _ my daily life in any way, so I didn't try. When I entered senior high school, my _ towards language learning changed. I had to learn Latin, which I've always been interested in because I want to study law. For this reason, learning Latin wasn't a _ for me like learning French. Soon I began to read _ books in Latin. It certainly wasn't easy, but I got to read lots of interesting stories about ancient _. Reading those books opened a window for me to another world and gave me a new _ on my own world." Now, let's think about the blanks one by one. For the first blank, we are talking about the neighbour's language. The word "native" means the language that a person has spoken from birth. So, French wasn't his native language. The answer for the first blank is "native". For the second blank, we know that the neighbour helped, but the writer still didn't learn much French. The word "despite" means without being affected by something. So, despite his help, I learnt very little French. The answer for the second blank is "despite". For the third blank, the writer didn't feel that learning French was related to his daily life. The phrase "related to" means connected with something. So, I just didn't feel that it related to my daily life in any way. The answer for the third blank is "related to". For the fourth blank, we are talking about the writer's change in the way he thought about language learning. The word "attitude" means the way you think and feel about someone or something. When I entered senior high school, my attitude towards language learning changed. The answer for the fourth blank is "attitude". For the fifth blank, learning Latin was not as difficult as learning French for the writer. The word "struggle" means a difficult fight or effort. So, learning Latin wasn't a struggle for me like learning French. The answer for the fifth blank is "struggle". For the sixth blank, we are talking about the books in Latin that the writer read. The word "classic" means very good and having a value that has continued for a long time. Soon I began to read classic books in Latin. The answer for the sixth blank is "classic". For the seventh blank, the stories were about ancient times. The word "civilisation" means a society, its culture, and its way of life during a particular period of time. I got to read lots of interesting stories about ancient civilisations. The answer for the seventh blank is "civilisations". For the eighth blank, reading those books gave the writer a new way of looking at his own world. The phrase "point of view" means a way of thinking about something. Reading those books opened a window for me to another world and gave me a new point of view on my own world. The answer for the eighth blank is "point of view". Well done, everyone. Now, let's move on to Activity 2. In this activity, we need to read the second part of the passage and combine the words in the two boxes to complete the restrictive relative clauses. The words in the first box are "building", "class", "day", "way", "someone", and the words in the second box are "when", "in which", "where", "who", "that". Let's read the passage. "Part Ⅱ I became interested in learning more languages aside from English. Then I saw an advertisement that offered a wonderful summer course in German, and that was the _ I decided to take on a new language." We can see that we are talking about a time, the time when the writer decided to take on a new language. So, we should use "day when". That was the day when I decided to take on a new language. Let's look at another sentence. "The school _ I studied German was very small." Here, we are talking about the place where the writer studied German. We can use "where" or "in which". So, the answer can be "The school where I studied German was very small." or "The school in which I studied German was very small." Let's practice one more. "The teacher _ taught us German was very kind." Here, we are talking about a person, the teacher. So, we should use "who" or "that". The teacher who taught us German was very kind. or The teacher that taught us German was very kind. Now, let's summarize what we have learned in this unit about language. We know that there are a great variety of languages around the world. Each language has its own unique features and history. For example, Chinese is a very ancient and important language. The Chinese writing system has evolved from ancient times. It is one of the oldest writing systems in the world. We also learned many new words and phrases related to language learning in this unit. Such as "native language", which is the first language a person learns. "Attitude towards language learning" is very important. A positive attitude can help us learn better. And words like "classic", "civilisation", "point of view", etc., can help us describe and understand different aspects of language and culture. In addition, we learned about relative clauses. Relative clauses can help us describe people, things, places, and times more precisely. We use relative pronouns like "who", "that", "which", and relative adverbs like "when", "where", "why" to form relative clauses. Let's do some more exercises to consolidate what we have learned. I will give you some sentences, and you need to fill in the blanks with the correct words or complete the relative clauses. For example, "I still remember the _ I first met my English teacher." You should think about what kind of word is suitable here. It should be a word related to time. So, the answer is "day when". Another one, "The book _ I bought yesterday is very interesting." Here, we are talking about a thing, the book. We can use "that" or "which". So, the answer can be "The book that I bought yesterday is very interesting." or "The book which I bought yesterday is very interesting." Now, let's check your answers. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. After that, I want you to think about your own experience of learning a foreign language. Just like the writer in the passage, you may also have had different feelings and experiences. Maybe you had some difficulties at first, but then you found a way to overcome them. I want you to write a short passage about your experience of learning a foreign language. You can include the following points: which foreign language you learned, why you started to learn it, what difficulties you met, and how you overcame them. Let's start writing. You can take about 10 minutes to write your passage. Then, we will share some of them in class. (After 10 minutes) Okay, time's up. Who would like to share their passage with the class? Yes, please raise your hand. (Call on some students to share their passages and give comments) Well done, everyone. Through sharing, we can learn from each other's experiences. Language learning is a long and interesting journey. I hope you will keep up your enthusiasm and continue to explore the wonderful world of languages. That's all for today's class. Remember to review what we have learned in this unit and keep practicing your English. See you next time. 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 $$
