Work in group
Gussing game!
Each group will have one paper with a continent
In your group, discuss and write down 2-3 key features about your continent on the blank card.
You can use information from the text. You are also encouraged to add interesting facts you know (e.g., famous animals, landmarks, etc.).
Guessing:
One member from the group stands up and describes the features to the class.
Use sentence patterns like:
"This continent is..."
"You can see/find... here."
The other groups listen and try to guess which continent it is.
1. We can’t live in water, and only about one third of our planet is land.
我们不能生活在水里,而且我们星球只有大约三分之一是陆地。
Oceans cover two thirds of the earth’s surface.
海洋覆盖了地球表面的三分之二。
一、核心构成规则:分子为基数词,分母为序数词
分子(即数字“几份”):用基数词(one, two, three...)。
分母(即“分成几份”):用序数词(third, fourth, fifth...)。
二、最重要的单复数规则
分子为1时:分母用单数。
分子大于1时:分母的序数词要变成复数(加 -s)。
分数+of结构做主语,谓语动词的单复数取决于of后的名词。
例如:5/8 → five eighths
三、特殊分数与常见读法
1/2:通常读作 a half(而不是 one second)。
1/4:可读作 a quarter 或 one fourth。
3/4:可读作 three quarters 或 three fourths。
“四分之几” 用 quarter(s) 非常普遍。
分子基数、分母序数、
大于1加s”
2. Some land is rich with green forests, fresh water, and good soil.
一些土地上富有绿植、淡水 和肥沃的土壤。
be rich with...富有…… 同义短语:be rich in...
in the future 在未来 eg:I will be a teacher in the future.
2)Because +句子:Because it rains, I am late for the class
Because of +代词宾格/doing/名词
eg: Because of the rain, I am late for my class(名词)
Because of doing my homework on time, I can go outside.
3. It will be our home in the future.
在未来那将会是我们赖以生存的家园。
