The Third Period
●从容说课
This is the third period of this unit.To test if Ss have understood the phrases and patterns they learned during the second period，the teacher can first give them some revision exercises.“It is ...that”is a very difficult structure，so the teacher can design some exercises for Ss.
Ss have got some idea about the present continuous tense for future use in the first period，to make them more familiar with its function，the teacher can give them more practice，both oral and written.Meanwhile，the teacher will help them go over another two ways of expressing future actions.These tasks are designed to improve their ability of using language.
To make Ss well prepared for the reading of the fourth period，the teacher can deal with the rest few new words in this class.
As to the homework，the teacher will ask Ss to preview Part 3 on Page 19 after class.Because this work is a bit difficult，tell Ss any group work is welcome.
Since the five-day National holidays are coming.Suppose that one student and his friends will go for a trip.Ask them to go to a nearby travel agency and find a schedule for their https://www.doczj.com/doc/4317863404.html,ter they are required to talk about what they will do on their travel，using present continuous tense.Through this activity，Ss can get to know what a travel plan is like，and consolidate what they have learned，which is correspondent to the teaching method “Learn through doing”.

Step 1 Greeting
Step 2 Revision
T：First I will test how well you understand what you learned yesterday.Please judge whether the following sentences are right.If they are not right，please correct them.
（1）It is with the help of the teacher that I passed the exam.
（2）It is I who is wrong.
（3）It was she that he helped with her homework yesterday.
（4）It was at the post-office where we met each other.
（5）It was yesterday afternoon when they played a close basketball game.
（6）Who was it that discovered the secret？
S：I think it’s right.
T：Do you agree with him？
S2：No，I think it is not right.But I don’t know why.
T：Does any one know the reason？
S3：In that cause，the past tense is used，so I think we should change “is”to “was”.
T：Quite Good.That is to say：当原句的时态为表示现在的各种时态时，用It is...；当原句的时态为表示过去的各种时态时，则用It was...。Now，what about the second sentence？
S：I think it is right.
S：I don’t agree with her.Here “who”refers to “I”，so after I we should use “am”.
T：Great.当被强调部分为原句的主语时，that句中谓语动词应在人称与数上与它保持一致。Let’s look at Sentence 3，is it right or wrong？
S：It’s wrong.The phrase is “help sb. with sth.”I think we should change “she”to “her”.
T：Good.当被强调部分为代词时，如是主语就用代词的主格，如是宾语则用宾格。So you see in Sentence 2，we use I instead of me，because the emphasized part is subject.
S：I see.
T：Is Sentence 4 a good sentence？
S：Yes，I think so.
T：What is your opinion，Han Mei？
Han Mei：I am not quite sure.
T：Write down this sentence in your notebook：
当被强调的对象指人时，可用who/whom 代替that；但当被强调的是地点、时间、原因、方式等状语时，决不能用where，when，why，how 等来替换。
S：Sentence 4 and Sentence 5 are wrong.We should use “that”in place of “where”and “when”.
T：You are clever.And the last sentence is right.Always remember：
Wh+was it that...？当对被强调的地点、时间、原因、方式等状语提问时，我们要用到这个句型。
Please translate these sentences，using this structure.
（1）他是在哪里度过他的童年时代的？
（2）他们怎样取得这么大的成就的呢？
（3）他和她为什么吵架？
S1：Where was it that he spent his childhood？
S2：How was it that they made such great achievements？
