Take less water, or I'll dry up within the next 100 years.少抽些水吧，不然用不了一百年我就干涸了。 (1)句中的or用作并列连词，意为“否则，要不然”，后面跟的句子往往表示一种不好的结果。 E.g.Wear your jacket or you'll catch a cold.穿上夹克，要不你会感冒的。 Walk faster or we'll be late.走快一点，不然我们就迟到了。 (2) dry up意为“干涸;(供应等)耗尽，枯竭”。 E.g.As the climate changed, the lake began to dry up.随着气候变化，这个湖开始干涸。 ★Step 6　Summary　【课堂小结】 Ask students to use the students’ self-assessment form to check what they have learned in this lesson.

Teaching reflection　【教学反思】 This reading lesson about protecting natural wonders had its pros and cons. The theme was fine, fitting students’ level and making them think of nature. The video clip and the pictures successfully got students' attention in the class. But there were also problems. Time wasn’t well managed. Group discussion took a long time, and students were lack of the background knowledge of the natural wonders mentioned in the passage. Next time, I will plan the time better. And I will introduce more background knowledge to students. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
