过 程
Step 1:Leading in
Quickly ask questions about their appearance in the primary school and get individuals to describe themselves by using “used to”. Read aloud the conversation in 2d.
Step 2:Finish the task in 3a
Pre-reading
Show the picture in P27 from the textbook to Ss. Ask them to look at the picture and answer the questions:
1. What do you think the girl in the picture is doing?
2. What’s in her hand? What’s she like?
3. Is she outgoing or is she shy?
Write the title of the article on the board. Ask Ss to look at the title and answer the questions:
1. What was the girl like in the past?
2. What kind of music does she like?
3. What do you think the reading passage is about?
While-reading
Ask Ss to read the article quickly and finish the task in 3a.
Answers: 2, 3, 1
Ask Ss to read the article again and explain the following phrases according to the context:
take up, hang out, fight on, make it to the top / make it
(提示:老师可以让学生解释他们是如何理解这些短语的意思的。)
This time, ask them to read for the details. Tell them that they need to make a comparison of how Candy has changed in her personality, behavior, troubles and worries.
(提示:我可以在黑板上画同样的图表,并邀请学生完成黑板上的图表。)
Step 3:Finish the task in 3b
Without having Ss read the passage again, ask them to fill in the blanks in 3b. Ss can try to guess the answer based on the construction and context of the sentence.
(学生将所读的内容与活动中的句子联系起来。)
Answers: 1.anymore 2.popular 3.hang out 4.worry about
Optional Choice:
Ask Ss to read the second paragraph again and find out the advantages and disadvantages of becoming famous.
(提示:可以鼓励学生与同伴核对答案。)
Read the third paragraph again and answer the question:
What suggestions did Candy give to those who want to become famous?
Step 4:Finish the task in 3c
Ask students to prepare questions for the interview. Then ask and answer in pairs.
Step 5 Finish Grammar Focus
Ask Ss to read the sentences in the chart.
Ask them find out more sentences that contain “used to” in Section A.

Ask Ss to write sentences about the past using used to.

Step 8:Finish the task in 4c
Ask Ss to think about what things they used to be afraid of and fill in the box in 4c, then interview their partners.
(提示:有可能学生并不害怕所列出的五件事中的任何一件。如果是这种情况,允许学生添加另外两个他们过去害怕的东西和另外两个他们仍然害怕的东西。他们的伴侣可能也希望使用这些新物品。)
Step 9:Language points
【知识讲解】
一、interview的用法
interview v. 采访;面试 n. 面试;访谈
interview的常用短语有:
interview sb. 采访某人
interview sb. about sth. 就某事采访某人
have an interview with sb. 采访某人
二、take up的用法
take up “(通常作为爱好)开始学习,开始练习”,后面可以接名词或动名词(短语)。take up还有“占据”的意思。
They’ve taken up basketball.
他们学起打篮球来了。
The young girl wants to take up teaching English to little kids.
这个姑娘想开始从事幼儿英语教学。
三、dare的用法
(1)dare v.“敢于;胆敢”,多用于表示做危险的或害怕做的事情,通常不用于进行时态,dare作实义动词时后面跟动词不定式(to + v.)作宾语,构成dare to do sth.结构,有人称和数以及时态的变化。构成疑问句和否定句时常借助助动词do。
don’t you dare 你敢,谅你不敢(用于口语,表示让人绝不要做某事)。
how dare you 你竟敢(用于口语,表示对某人的行为或话语很气愤)
I dare say 我想;可能;大概
Only a few journalists dared to report the event.
只有少数几名记者敢于报导这一事件。
(2)dare 也可以作情态动词,常用于疑问句、否定句和条件从句中。
四、the road to success的用法
the road to success “通向成功的路”,其中to是介词,后面跟名词或v.-ing形式。
the road to sth.是英语的一种固定表达方式,此处road并非指真实的“道路”,属于修辞手法,意指“途径;通道”。它可以独立使用,承担句子的主语、宾语等。但更多时候,the road to ...会与系动词be及其他一些行为动词搭配,构成to be on / along the road to ...等句式,表达出“快速地;不多久”这样的意思,汉语通常译作“很快就要……;不久就会……”。
五、deal with
deal with 是一个固定短语,意为“应付;处理”,在特殊疑问句中;
常与how连用;近义词do with,常与what连用。
Do you have any good ideas to deal with the problem?
你有解决这个问题的好办法吗?
六、shyness
shyness 是shy的名词形式,有些英语形容词以在其后面加上后缀-ness,变为名词。例如:happy—happiness kind—kindness busy—business
Step 10: Summary
鼓励学生总结本节课的重点,帮助学生巩固所学知识。
课堂作业
1.Try to retell the story.

教学反思
1. 在这一课时,阅读练习是很重要的。当我们阅读的时候,我们学到了很多新单词和短语。学生们在完成任务的同时必须对3a中的生词给予足够的重视。让他们写下阅读材料中有用的短语是个好主意。他们可以从这些模式中学习,并在写自己的文章时复制它们。
2. 当我们有足够的语言知识时,我们总是学习语法。在语法方面,我们可以让学生总结或总结本单元所学的内容,然后学习结构和句型练习。在学习了语法重点框架中的主体结构后,学生应该在不同的活动中进行练习。在口语和阅读之后,我们最好给他们一些书面作业。
