As a teacher, I think the first thing to do is to improve our ways of learning English. What ways of learning did you use before? Did the ways you used before help you a lot?S1: I think my ways of learning English have helped me a lot. And my English is always the best. The most important thing in learning English is, I think, to practice what we have learned every day, to read aloud, and to write more.S2: I’m not good at English. There must be something wrong wit h my way of learning English. It doesn’t work at all even if I study hard. I read and write the new vocabulary many times every evening only to find that I can’t remember them at all. What should I do now?T: In my opinion, it is not very useful to remember new words by reading and writing them again and again. The best way to learn new vocabulary is to practice them in sentences. Just compare your way of learning English with that of the top student. You can find that he / she never remembers words by writing or reading words only. After welearned Unit 1, I believe most of us have changed some of your improper ways of learning. This is very important. Everything changes except change itself. We are making progress in English learning. So come on. You are the best. Learn from your past experience and make more progress!Step II PresentationShow two pictures of Kate,one is in the past,the other is now.Say: T:Kate is tall now. But she was very short in the past.Another way say: Kate used to be short,but now she is tall.StepIII Grammar (1c: P10; Grammar Focus: P11)T: As time goes by, we are changing every day. For example, we are growing taller and our hair is longer and longer day by day. Our appearances and personalities also change with the growing years. Now think about your changes in the past years. Here’s a very useful expression to help you express yourself.Show the following expressions to the students.used to be + adj: 过去常常是(现在已非如此)used to + v: 过去常常做(现在已非如此)T: It’s very easy to put the expressions into use. Look at the following examples.Show the following examples and ask the students to read them.She used to be short.He used to be naughty.Tom used to be better.I used to keep a diary when I was his age.We used to swim every day when we were children.We used to grow beautiful roses.I get on well with him. Better than I used to.She didn’t use to do it, did she?You usedn’t to make that mistake.Used you to make up stories out of your own head?Used you to play basketball?It used not to be so hot in summer.You used to live in London, usedn’t you?There used to be some trees in this field, usedn’t there?Step IV Listening (1b: P10)Ask the students to read the instructions and sentences in 1b first, then listen to the recording about Bob and his friends.T: How time flies! Bob and his friends haven’t seen each other for four years. Now they see each other again on a sunny day. Look at the picture on Page 10. What changes can we find about his friends?S1: They used to be short. But they are taller now.S2: Tina’s hair is longer now. But she used to have short hair.S3: Amy used to be short and she used to wear curly hair. But she is tall and has straight hair now!T: Good guesses! Now listen to the dialogue between them. They all changed a lot. Will Bob feel surprised?Play the recording for the first time.T: For the first time, listen and find out how Bob feels about his friends’ changes?Check and discuss the answers with the students, reminding them of the intonation of Bob in the recording. Then ask the students to listen for the second time.T: For the second listening, please pay attention to the changes of his friends. You may write down the key words you hear.Play the recording for the second time. Then ask them to fill in the blanks and check the answers with them.Step V Listing (1a: P10)Ask the students to list the words to describe people’s appearances and personalities.T: From the above picture and recording, we find that many changes have taken place in Bob’s friends. Now work in groups and try to list the words to describe people’s appearances and personalities.A sample list:light-brown hair, curly hair, black hair, brown hair, brown eyes, blue eyes, pale, attractive, fat, thin, cool, slim, healthy, strong, good-looking, handsome, pretty, beautiful, sick, longAsk the students to fill in the chart. Then check the answers.Step VI Listening and Speaking (2a, 2b, 2c: P11)Ask the students to do the listening.T: Next you will hear some other words used to describe people’s appearances and personalities. Listen and check the words you hear.Play the recording, and then check the answers.T: Listen again and fill in the blanks in the dialogue with the words you hear.Play the recording again, and then check the answers. Later ask the students to practice the dialogue.A sample dialogue:S1: Hi. Don’t you remember me?S2: Oh, sorry. I can’t remember now.S1: I’m Jessie. We were in the same class when we studied in Primary School.S2: Oh, I got it. Jessie, you used to be really short, didn’t you?S1: Yeah. I wasn’t very tall.S2: No, you weren’t. But you were always very happy. Wait a minut e! Did you use to play basketball after school?S1: Yes, I did. But now I’m more interested in playing volleyball. I play volleyball and I’m on the volleyball team.S2: Wow! People sure change.Step VII Homework (Grammar Focus: P11)T: In this period, we mainly practiced “used to do” pattern.Show the following to the students. Ask them to read the example sentences repeatedly.used to → Did ... + use to do → didn’te.g. 1. He used to be quiet.2. They used to play soccer.3. — Did you use to play computer games?— Yes, I did.4. — Did she use to have short hair?—No, she didn’t.Then ask them to write a short passage about the changes of themselves. And pre-read 3a on Page 12.。
