《Word power》知识清单一、词汇的重要性词汇是语言的基石,就像盖房子的砖头一样。
如果我们想要准确、清晰、生动地表达自己的想法和感受,丰富的词汇量是必不可少的。
一个人的词汇量越丰富,他在阅读、写作、交流等方面就越能得心应手。
在日常生活中,我们用词汇来描述事物、表达情感、传达信息。
比如,当我们看到美丽的风景时,能够用“绚丽多彩”“如诗如画”“美不胜收”等词汇来形容,而不是只会说“好看”。
在工作中,准确的专业词汇能够让我们更高效地沟通和完成任务。
二、词汇的分类1、名词名词是表示人、事物、地点、现象等的名称。
比如“苹果”“学校”“友谊”等。
名词又可以分为具体名词和抽象名词。
具体名词是可以直接感知的,像“桌子”“汽车”;抽象名词则是比较抽象的概念,如“爱”“勇气”。
2、动词动词表示动作或状态。
例如“跑”“吃”“思考”“存在”等。
动词的使用能够让我们的描述更加生动形象,让读者或听者能够更直观地理解所表达的内容。
形容词用于描述或修饰名词,赋予名词更多的特征和属性。
比如“美丽的花”“聪明的孩子”“高大的建筑”。
4、副词副词通常用来修饰动词、形容词或其他副词,以表示程度、方式、时间、地点等。
像“很快地跑”“非常漂亮”“经常去”。
5、介词介词用于表示名词、代词等与其他词的关系。
常见的介词有“在……上面”“在……里面”“在……之后”等。
6、连词连词用于连接单词、短语或句子,使语言表达更加连贯和流畅。
比如“和”“但是”“因为”。
7、代词代词是用来代替名词或名词短语的词。
如“我”“你”“他”“这”“那”等。
三、词汇的积累方法1、阅读广泛阅读各种类型的书籍、报纸、杂志等,是积累词汇的有效途径。
在阅读过程中,我们会遇到各种各样的词汇,通过上下文的理解,可以更好地掌握它们的含义和用法。
可以选择一些经典的文章、诗词或者词汇表进行背诵。
背诵能够加深对词汇的记忆,同时也有助于培养语感。
3、写作通过写作来运用所学的词汇,不仅能够巩固记忆,还能发现自己在词汇使用上的不足之处,从而有针对性地进行补充和改进。

Word powerStep 1: Brainstorming1. Guessing Game:At the beginning of today’s class, let’s play a guessing game. Here are several cards, each of which says a household appliance. I’d like one of you to give a brief description of the deviceFor referenceAn air-conditioner: It can be stationed on the wall. It can make our room warm in winter and cool in summer.A microwave oven: It’s a type of oven which cooks food very quickly using microwaves.A refrigerator: A cabinet or room in which food is kept cold.A washing machine: A electric machine for washing clothes.A digital computer: A device that makes calculations, etc with data represented as a series of digits.A vacuum cleaner: A electrical appliance that takes up dust, dirt, etc by suction.2.

Fill inElectronic goodsAudio devices: CD players MD players MP3 players Educational products: educational software electronic dictionaries electronic translatorsVideo devices: Video cameras Digital cameras Computers Mobile phones3. Let’s come to the household appliances section. Read the passage in Part B. Pay attention to the names of the goods in this section.4. Pair work: Give a brief description of the household appliances to your partner in your own words. You may also describe other household appliances you know.5. Now we’ve been familiar with the names of household appliances. Let’s try to complete the article in Part C on Page 7.AnswersC(1) electronic goods (2) household appliances (3) audio devices(4) CD players (5) MD players (6) MP3(7) video cameras (8) educational software (9) translators(10) freezer section (11) vacuum cleaners (12) microwave oven1.Of course, electrical appliances and electronic devices are useful in various ways in ourlives.

Complete the table with as many as you can think of, placing the items in order of importance with the most important one first.4. Reading:words:337 time:5’10’’All in the mind: Scientific metaphorsIt is certainly true that computers, cell phones and digital cameras havebecome part of our everyday life. Anywhere we go, we can hear theringing of a cell phone, the tapping of a keyboard or the clicking of amouse. We are said to be living in the “Information Age”, a time of new discoveries and great changes. But is it really true that we are living in the “Information Age”? Has our life changed that much? Many of the things we do with computers, such as typing and sending mail, are things that we also did before. Has anything really changed except the tools we use?When we describe or talk about new inventions, we use words and ideas that we already know. For example, when we want to explain how a computer works, we use words like “memory”, “store” and “cut and paste”. The words are useful, but they are not quite true. A computer’s “memory” is similar to human memory in some ways, but it is also very different.A computer does keep information in its memory, but that is clearly different from other kinds of storage. We do cut and paste, but we don’t use scissors or glue. Using familiar words makes it easier for us to understand and use a new tool, but it may also make it more difficult for us to use the new invention in the best way. After all, what makes a new invention such a wonderful thing is that it allows us to do something we could not do before.Science is not just about electronics and plastic; it is also about how we think about the world. Now that we are developing new technology at such a high pace, the true challenge is to find new ways of using it. How will we use computers in the future? How will we use the Internet? The real function will only be known once we discover new ways of thinking about the technology.。
