补全家庭谚语:Father's love is like a ________ (mountain). 父爱如山。/________ (Harmony) in a family makes everything successful. 家和万事兴。/________ (Home) is where the heart is. 心之所向,便是家。三句谚语贯穿本单元——先认读、再记背、后运用。

▶谚语中的 metaphor(比喻)手法:把父爱比作山——无声、厚重、常在。
【提示框】
三句谚语建议抄进积累本:开头、结尾、评价家人时都能用上——一句顶十句。

(二)Starting out · 家庭生活面面观
Look at the pictures and answer: What is each family doing in the pictures? 看图说话——a. They are having dinner together. 一起吃晚餐;b. The father is helping the child with her homework. 爸爸辅导作业;c. They are preparing a meal together. 一起做饭;d. The family is hiking in a forest. 一家徒步。
What activities do you usually do with your family members? 常见家庭活动:Cook meals together 一起做饭/Celebrate a special day 庆祝特别的日子/Go travelling on holiday 假日旅行/Taking photos together 一起拍照。
What is your family like? 谈谈你的家:big/small/full of happiness/full of arguments(争吵)——Do you love your family?
Look at the picture and answer: What does each person in your family do? 职业词库:teacher 教师/farmer 农民/engineer 工程师/doctor 医生/worker 工人/firefighter 消防员/nurse 护士/businessman 商人/designer 设计师/driver 司机/policeman / policewoman 警察。
Sample 跟读:My father is a policeman, my mother is a teacher, my sister is a primary school student, and I am a junior high student. /My father is a designer, my mother is a nurse, my brother is a high school student and I am a junior high student.——照这个句式介绍自己的家庭。
(三)Starting out · FAMILY 的秘密
What do you think the word family stands for? 拆词揭秘:F—Father,A—And,M—Mother,I—I,L—Love,Y—You——Father and Mother, I love you. 家 = 爸爸和妈妈,我爱你们。
升华:family 不只是住在一起的人,更是彼此相爱的人——带着这个理解进入课文。
(四)读前活动 · 看图预测与段落匹配
【过渡语】一组电影剧照,把我们的目光引向一位中国式父亲。
Look at the three pictures on the right and answer: Which picture reminds you of your father? 哪张图片让你想起你的父亲?How can you describe your father and his love for you? 用两三个词形容父亲和他的爱。
Match the main idea of each paragraph. 段落大意匹配:Para.1—Introduction 引言/Para.2—Main plot 主要情节/Para.3—Touching moment 感人瞬间/Para.4—Comments 评价——先匹配再验证,这就是影评的四段骨架。
(五)整体感知 · 影评文体与快速问答
What is a film review? 影评定义:影评是人们分享电影观感的短文。它分析、评判影片的各项要素,例如情节 plot、人物 characters、导演手法 directing、摄影 cinematography、音乐 music、表演 performances、主题 themes,以及影片整体的艺术与娱乐价值。
Read the film review and answer the questions. 快速问答:①What type of passage is it? — It's a film review.;②What might the film be about? — It might be about a father's love.;③Who are the two main characters in the film, and what do they do? — The father and the son. They are postmen. 他们是邮递员;④What is the father's love like according to the writer? — His father's love is silent. But like a mountain, it's always there.
(六)细读一 · Para.1 引言与人物
【过渡语】进入 Para.1,认识父子两人。
Read Para.1 and complete the mind map. 完成思维导图:Film's theme 影片主题—A touching story about the love between father and son. 一个关于父子之爱的感人故事;Characters 人物—A young man (the son):handsome 英俊,walks fast along a mountain road 在山路上走得飞快;An older man (the father):has a strict face 脸色严肃,follows the young man 跟在年轻人身后。
Para.1 人物思维导图页
(七)细读二 · Para.2 主要情节
Read Para.2 and complete the table. 完成表格:The father—served as the postman 曾担任邮递员,often absent from home 常年不在家;The son—seldom saw his father 很少见父亲,taking over his father's position 正接替父亲的职位。
情节推进两句:The father goes with him on his first day of work. 父亲陪他走上工作的第一天;They start to see into each other's hearts. 他们开始走进彼此的内心。
对号入座:谁「陪伴」、谁「接替」——父亲 go with him,儿子 take over the position;一陪一接,父子关系开始转变。
【知识点】
▶serve as 担任(serve as the postman);be absent from 缺席/不在(be absent from home/class/meeting);take over 接替,接任;
▶see into each other's hearts 走进彼此内心——see into 意为「看进,洞察」。
【提示框】
absent from 后接地点或活动,中间不加 the——be absent from class 是高频考点,别写成 absent from the class。
(八)细读三 · Para.3 感人瞬间
Read Para.3 and complete the mind map. 填空复现感人瞬间:the son ________ (carries) his father across a cold river 儿子背父亲过冰冷的河;it brings back the ________ (father's) memory of carrying the son on his back 唤起父亲当年背儿子的回忆;tears quietly ________ (run) down his face 泪水悄然滑落。
品读细节:小时候父亲背儿子,长大后儿子背父亲——一次过河完成了一场时光对调,这就是「无声胜有声」。
【知识点】
▶bring back the memory of... 唤起对……的回忆;run down one's face(泪)从脸上滑落——动作描写写情;
▶carries 与 carrying 前后呼应:现在儿子背父亲,过去父亲背儿子。
(九)细读四 · Para.4 评价与主题
Read Para.4 and complete the mind map. 补全评价段:This film shows a ________ (traditional Chinese father) 影片展现了一位传统的中国父亲;He just ________ (hides) his care in his heart. 他只是把关爱藏在心里;He doesn't give ________ (hugs or kisses) to his son. 他不拥抱也不亲吻儿子;His love may be ________ (silent). But like a mountain, it is always there. 他的爱或许无言,但如山常在。
回扣导入:这条结尾正好解释了导入谚语「Father's love is like a mountain. 父爱如山」——首尾呼应,主题闭合。
【知识点】
▶traditional Chinese father 传统中国父亲的形象:爱在心口难开(hides his care in his heart);
▶评价段万能句:This film shows... /His love may be... But..., it is always there.
(十)看图说话与影评要素
Describe the pictures in pairs with the help of the key words. 两人一组看图说话:a mountain road, a handsome young man walks fast, an older man, a strict face(图一);for the first time, carries, across a cold river(图二)——把关键词连成完整句子。
Read and tick: What does the film review include? 勾选影评包含的要素:✓The name of the film 影片名称;✓The characters in the film 影片人物;✗The persons who act in the film 演员名单;✗A famous line 经典台词;✓A touching moment 感人瞬间;✗The ending of the story 故事结局。
追问落实:What is the name of the film? — Postmen in the Mountains.《那山那人那狗》;Who are the characters in the film? — A father and a son.;What is the touching moment? — The son carries his father across a cold river.
【提示框】
tick 题的陷阱在「似是而非」——演员名单、结局看似该有,但本篇影评没写;答案必须回到原文找证据。
(十一)笔记填空与课堂复习表
Complete the notes with the words from the passage. 用课文词完成笔记:love/taking(taking over)/carries/father's/run/hearts——六空对应「主题—情节—瞬间—内心」四层信息。
Review what you have learnt in this class with the help of the table. 借助复习表回顾全课:Film introduction—Name: Postmen in the Mountains;Characters: father and son。Plot summary—The father served as the postman and was often absent from home. Now, the son is taking over his father's position as the postman. The father goes with him on his first day of work. Along the way, they start to see into each other's hearts. Touching moment—The son carries his father across a cold river. It brings back the father's memory of carrying the son on his back. Tears quietly run down his face. Theme and messages—It is about the love between father and son. This traditional Chinese father is happy about his son's growth, but he hides his care in his heart. His love is silent, but like a mountain, it is always there.
【知识点】
▶复习表四行就是影评四段:introduction→plot→touching moment→theme and messages;
▶growth 成长一词点出父亲的欣慰——traditional father 也在为儿子的成长骄傲。
【提示框】
复习表直接当影评模板背:四行四句,考场上写影评先画这张表。
(十二)文化拓展 · 走进《那山那人那狗》
【过渡语】读罢影评,我们走近这部电影本身。
Know more about the film. 《那山那人那狗》讲述了一个山村邮递员、儿子和他的狗之间的故事,展现了中国农村的自然风光和淳朴的人际关系。
父子关系四阶段:①初始的隔阂——儿子对父亲的工作和付出并不完全理解,父亲常年在外送信,父子缺乏沟通;②共同的旅程——父亲因病痛无法继续工作,儿子接替成为乡邮员,两人开始多年来第一次长时间相处;③逐渐的理解——儿子见证父亲在村民心中的崇高地位,理解了父亲的执着与默默奉献;④父子情深——儿子感受到父亲深沉的爱,父子感情逐渐升温。
对照课文:影评只写了「一个瞬间」,整部电影却是一条情感变化的长线——这正是影评「以点带面」的写法。
电影文化拓展页
(十三)Think and share · 人物评价与观影意愿
Think and share ①:Choose three words to describe the father and the son each, and give your reasons. 各选三个词评价父子并说明理由——Father: caring 关爱、quiet 沉静、strict 严格——他默默关爱儿子,第一天上班跟在身后,为儿子的成长高兴;Son: responsible 有担当、strong 坚强、warm 温暖——他接替父亲的职位,背父亲过冰冷的河。
Learning to think: To make comments about a character, always look for what they do. Actions speak louder than words. 评价人物永远看行动——行胜于言。
Think and share ②:Do you want to watch the film after reading the review? Why or why not? 示例:Yes, I want to watch the film. The review made it sound interesting and the story about the father and son is touching. I like films that show how people care for each other.
【知识点】
▶人物评价公式:性格词+行动证据——caring, because he follows the son and carries him across the river;
▶Actions speak louder than words. 行胜于言——既是学习方法,也是单元主题句。
【提示框】
说理由用 because+具体动作,别只说 He is nice——三词三证据,评价才有说服力。
(十四)语言点一 · remind 用法
remind vt. 提醒;使想起。三搭配:①remind sb. of sb./sth. 使某人想起某人/某物——The song reminds me of my childhood. 这首歌使我想起我的童年。/Which picture reminds you of your father?;②remind sb. to do sth. 提醒某人去做某事(事情还没做)——Please remind me to call him. 请提醒我给他打电话;③remind sb. + (that) 从句 提醒某人……(后接完整句子)——He reminded me (that) I should arrive early. 他提醒我应该早点到。
辨析口诀:of 想起(已发生),to do 提醒做(未发生),that 从句带句说——三看后接成分定用法。
【知识点】
▶remind sb. of sth.(使想起,过去的共鸣)vs remind sb. to do sth.(提醒去做,未做的行动);
▶remind 后接 that 从句时用陈述语序:remind me that I should...
【提示框】
「想起」与「提醒做」最易混:The photo reminds me of...(照片让我想起)——照片不能「提醒我去想做某事」,搭配决定含义。
(十五)语言点二 · carry/take/bring/get 辨析
carry v. 把(某物或某人)带至新的地点或位置——For the first time, the son carries his father across a cold river. 第一次,儿子背着父亲蹚过冰冷的河流。
四词辨析表:carry——拿;提;扛——表示搬运、携带,具有负重的含义,没有方向性——She carries a schoolbag every day. 她每天背着书包;take——拿走;带走——把人或物从说话者所在的地方带到别处,有方向性——Please take this book to the classroom. 请把这本书拿到教室去;bring——拿来;带来——把人或物从别的地方带到说话者所在的地方,有方向性——Can you bring me some water? 你能给我拿点水过来吗;get——去取;去拿——到某地去把某人或某物带来或拿来,表示来回——Please get me a pen from the office. 请到办公室给我拿一支笔过来。
【知识点】
▶方向口诀:carry 无方向(负重),take 去程(带走),bring 回程(带来),get 来回(去取来);
▶carry sb./sth. across/along... 背/搬……越过/沿着——carry 有「负重」义,所以背父亲用 carries。
【提示框】
情境记四词:上学 carry 书包→借书 take 去→妈妈 bring 饭来→办公室 get 笔——一次情景全记住。
carry/take/bring/get 辨析表页
(十六)语言点三 · across/through/over 辨析
三词辨析表:across——横过;穿过——物体表面,从一边到另一边,常搭配马路、河流、广场、桥梁平面穿行——Walk across the street carefully. 小心过马路;through——穿过;通过——物体内部、空间里面穿行,常搭配森林、隧道、洞穴、窗户、人群——The sunlight comes through the window. 阳光透过窗户照进来;over——越过;翻越——翻越有高度的障碍物,从上方到另一侧,常搭配墙、篱笆、大山、树木——The bird flew over the mountain. 鸟儿飞过山脉。
回扣课文:carries his father across a cold river——过河走水面(涉水而过),所以用 across 而非 over。
【提示框】
过河用 across:人的脚在水面(河面)上横穿;飞机过山用 over:从山顶上方越过——想象画面再选词。
