二、Teaching Advice
Lead-in
Look and Say
1. Show pictures of inspiring people (Yuan Longping,Wang Yaping,Zhang Qian) and ask
simple questions to guide students to share their opinions.
· What do you think of Yuan Longping developing hybrid rice?
· How do you feel about Wang Yaping teaching in space?
2. Elicit Patterns:Guide students to say sentences like “It is great of Yuan Longping to
develop hybrid rice.”or “It's amazing that Wang Yaping taught in space.” to lead in the
two core patterns of this lesson.
3. Transition : Today we will learn these two sentence patterns to evaluate people and things
more accurately..
Explore the Grammar
4a
1. Ask students to read the sentences in 4a and complete each one with a person they know (e. g.
“It was great of Yuan Longping to develop a new kind of rice..”).
2.Invite 3-4 students to share their completed sentences with the class. The teacher writes
typical examples on the blackboard.
3. Guide students to observe the sentences on the blackboard and initially distinguish the
three structures:
· Evaluate people:It is+adj. +of sb. +to do sth.
· Evaluate things (actions):It is+adj.+for sb. +to do sth.
· Evaluate things (facts):It is+adj.+that....
Grammar Rules
1.It’s+adj.+of sb. +to do sth.
形容词描述人的品质、性格,说明“某人本身具备某种特质,所以做出了这个行为”。
常见形容词:brave,wise,nice,kind,great,stupid
例如:It was brave of Victor Hugo to stand up for the common people.
检验方法:可以改写为“sb.is+adj.”,逻辑通顺就用of。
2.It’s十adj.+for sb. +to do sth.
形容词描述动作的性质、难度,说明“做这件事对某人来说是……的”。

it是形式主语,真正主语是that从句,用来评价整个事件或事实,避免句子头重脚轻。

Teaching Reflection
This grammar lesson went smoothly. When guiding students to observe the sentences and
distinguish the three structures,most students could get the key points quickly. They finished the exercises actively and mastered the core patterns basically. However,a few students still confused“for”and “of". In future lessons,I'll add more simple practice and give more guidance.
