Period V Section B  2a-3c  Vocabulary in Use &Writing

The analysis of the text

 The part is about natural disasters and bad daily life, centered on the topic “A Bad Day”.2a to 2c presents natural disaster words such as earthquake, typhoon, and tornado. It also includes verb collocations like hit, take place and sweep through to describe when natural disasters happen and their influences. There are also compound words such as snowstorm, wildfire and floodwater to help students learn more expressions about natural events. 3a tells about Mary’s bad but lucky day last Friday. The passage shows the time order of events and how weather influenced her trip and the school exam.

The analysis of students

Ss have basic English vocabulary and simple reading skills. They can use simple sentences to talk about daily things and past experiences.

They can understand easy short stories, but they still have difficulty describing natural disasters and retelling a story in time order. However, some students are weak in remembering new words and making full English sentences. They need teachers’ guidance to learn and write.
