三、课中阶梯任务
基础任务(人人过关,10分钟)
1. 跟着录音,跟读核心词汇3遍:teenage, special, average, grade, although, mistake, talented, impossible, mirror, smile, unique
2. 短语速记连线:把左边的英文和右边对应的中文意思连起来
① There's nothing special about me.
A. 既有天赋又聪明
② get average grades
B. 从错误中学习
③ be talented and smart
C. 对自己要求过于苛刻
④ be hard on oneself
D. 我没有什么特别的。
⑤ learn from mistakes
E. 以自己的方式独一无二
⑥ be unique in one's own way
F. 成绩平平
3. 语法小贴士:
① although / though 引导让步状语从句:意为“虽然;尽管”,although 较正式,多用于句首,常可与 though 换用;although / though 不能与 but 连用,但可与 yet、still 连用。如 Although I'm a little better at English, sometimes I make bad mistakes.
② however 表转折:作副词,意为“然而;不过”,常用逗号与句子隔开,可位于句首、句中或句末。如 My friend Lisa, however, is talented and smart.
③ 形容词修饰不定代词须后置:something、anything、nothing、everything 等不定代词被形容词修饰时,形容词放在其后。如 There's nothing special about me.
④ 动词不定式短语作表语:位于系动词之后作表语,说明主语的内容。如 The important thing is to learn from them.(重要是从中吸取教训。)
⑤ 本课重点搭配:strong points(优点)/ weak points(不足)/ average grades(中等成绩)/ be hard on sb.(对某人苛刻)/ learn from(从……中学习)/ make a list(列清单)/ be good at(擅长)/ be happy with(对……满意)
⑥ 常用句式与主谓一致:Nobody is perfect in this world.(不定代词 nobody 作主语,谓语用单数);Be your own best friend, and be happy with yourself.
