Closing downClosing down by doing exercisesTo end the lesson you are to do the prehending exercises No. 1and 2 on pages 18 and 19. Closing down by watching a silent movie by Charlie ChaplinDo you like watching movies? Do you like humourous movies? Now lets watch a silent humourous movie by Charlie Chaplin. Its Charlie Chaplins first film: Making a LivingClosing down by reading about Charlie ChaplinTo end the period we shall read an article about Charlie Chaplin. Now look at the screen and read it aloud with me.Charlie Chaplin (April 16, 1889 - December 25, 1977)Charlie Chaplin, who brought laughter to millions worldwide as the silent Little Tramp clown, had the type of deprived childhood that one would expect to find in a Dickens novel. Born in East Street, Walworth, London on 16 April, 1889, Charles Spencer Chaplin was the son of a music hall singer and his wife. Charlie Chaplins parents divorced early in his life, with his father providing little to no support, either financial or otherwise, leaving his mother to support them as best she could. Chaplins mother Hannah was the brightest spot in Charlies childhood; formerly an actor on stage, she had lost her ability to perform, and managed to earn a subsistence living for herself, Charlie, and Charlies older half-brother Sidney by sewing. She was an integral part of Charlies young life, and he credited her with much of his success. Sadly, she slowly succumbed to mental illness, and by the time that Charlie was 7 years old, she was confined to an asylum; Charlie and Sidney were relegated to a workhouse (a government facility for orphaned and abandoned children) - not for the last time. After 2 months, she was released, and the family was happily reunited, for a time. In later years, she was readmitted for an 8-month stretch later, during which time Charlie lived with his alcoholic father and stepmother, in a strained environment.2A sample lesson plan for Learning about Language(The ing form as the Predicative, Attributive & Object)AimsTo help students learn about The ing form as the Predicative, Attributive & Object)To help students discover and learn to use some useful words and expressions.To help students discover and learn to use some useful structures.ProceduresI. Warming upWarming up by discovering useful words and expressionsTurn to page 19 and do exercises No. 1, 2 , 3, 4 and 5. Check your answers against your classmates. II. Learning about The ing form as the Attributive What is attributive? It is something placed before the nouns to be modified: “red” is an attributive adjective in “a red apple”. “walking ” is also an attributive adjective in “a walking stick”.The ing form as the Attributive The ing form作定语时表示该动作正在进行。单个The ing form作定语通常放在被修饰词的前面. The ing form短语作定语则放在被修饰词之后。如: The rising sun looks very beautiful. 冉冉升起的太阳看上去很美。 若被修饰词与The ing form是被动关系时,须用The ing form的被动式(being done)作定语。如: The song being broadcast is very popular with the young students. 正在播放的歌曲深受青年学生的欢迎。 注意The ing form作定语与所修饰的名词有逻辑上的主谓关系,或表示作用与用途。如: Let sleeping dogs lie. 别招惹麻烦。(The ing form相当于定语从句 which are sleeping) I think some sleeping pills may help you. 我想安眠药可以助你入睡。(The ing form表示用途,相当于pills for sleeping) III. Ready used materials for The ing form as the Predicative, Attributive & ObjectWhich verbs can be followed by the -ing form?One of the most important simple principles that grammarians tend to miss is the one that explains what verbs take the -ing form. The method of almost all books on English grammar is to give a list of such verbs. This implies that it is pletely arbitrary whether a verb takes the -ing form or not, that God has closed his eyes and pricked off verbs here and there at random with a pin. Students are thus cut off from insight into a basic pattern of meaning, and confronted with a lifeless series of unconnected words which they have to learn by heart. They are pushed into a purely mechanical process that misses the essential truth that learning languages is learning about meanings and their logical connections to other meanings. It is significant of the impractical arbitrariness of these lists that there are almost no two of them that are the same, even where the most mon of the verbs used with -ing are concerned.When contrasting the -ing form with the infinitive, the basic point to remember is that -ing can always mean, among other things, a verb-noun, an action-thing. The fact that -ing can always mean a thing gives us the following practical principle:If you can say I (etc.) - verb - it (e.g. I like it), you can use I - verb -ing (e.g. I like eating).Avoid it. Avoid stepping on the grass if you can.Do you mind it? Do you mind shutting the window?He couldnt risk it. He couldnt risk hurting the children.This is a principle virtually without exceptions. But naturally there are many verbs that in practice are never used with -ing simply because nobody ever wants to express that action meaning of -ing with them. The process is always self-regulating, so to speak - one says whatever makes sense. We can look at some examples of the use of -ing with verbs that appear on few, if any, of most grammarians lists.They have added mistreating prisoners to the list of charges.I cant really afford living like this.The council no longer allows smoking in public buildings.aim - (It is hard to think of a sensible example of -ing being used with this verb. Can you?)The club arranges dancing for the pensioners.The chairman claimed breaking the strike as a great triumph.I dont count making money as a virtue.The investigators discovered cheating on a huge scale.We must encourage planting earlier in the season.I thank travelling for teaching me much about the human condition.The principle applies equally to phrasal verbs, both the prepositional type and the adverbial particle type.She insisted on helping me.Bills putting off writing till tomorrow. (Or: .putting writing off.)The managing director picked out idling on the job as the main cause of the declining profits.turn up - (Another example of a verb I am unable to think of any sensible use for with -ing.)(Notice that in the second and third sentences above, an it used instead of the -ing form would e between putting and off and between picked and out.)There are uses of -ing which appear to contradict the it-substitution principle. Two examples of them involve expressions that both have the sense of continue: carry on and go on. One can say Carry on talking, but not *Carry on it. That, however, is merely because unemphasized pronouns are never used at the end of phrasal verb phrases (e.g. in a dictionary one looks it up, not *looks up it). With go on one cannot even say *go it on. This again can be explained simply. One does not *go a thing, while with the sense of continue one does not say *go on it for the same reason that one does not say *Carry on it.IV. Closing downClosing down by discoveringTo end the period you are going to skim the text and the previous texts to find out all the examples containing ing forms used as the predicative, attributive and object.Closing down by exercisesIn the last few minutes you are to do exercises 1, 2, 3 and 4 on page 21. Check your answers against those of your groupmates3 A sample lesson plan for Using Language (Jokes about Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson)AimsTo help students read the paragraph of Jokes about Sherlock Holmes and Doctor WatsonTo help students to use the language by reading, listening, speaking and writing.ProceduresI. Warming up Warming up by reading school jokesThere are lots of jokes in English about school life. Read these two to see whether you will laugh or not.Why must we learn this? 为什么要学这个呀？One day our professor was discussing a particularly plicated concept. A pre-med student rudely interrupted to ask, Why do we have to learn this pointless informationTo save lives. the professor responded quickly and continued the lecture. A few minutes later, the same student spoke up again. So how does physics save lives? he persisted.It keeps the ignoramuses like you out of medical school, replied the professor.I will do anything to pass 说啥也要考个及格A student es to a young professors office hours. She glances down the hall, closes his door, kneels pleadingly.I would do anything to pass this exam. She leans closer to him, flips back her hair, gazes meaningfully into his eyes. I mean. she whispers, .I would do.anything. He returns her gaze. Anything? Anything. His voice softens. Anything? Absolutely anything. His voice turns to a whisper. Would you.study?II. Guided reading1 Reading and translatingRead the paragraph on page 22 and translate it into Chinese sentence by sentence. 2. Reading and underliningNext you are to read the paragph and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in it. Copy them to your notebook after class as homework.Collocations from the paragraph on page 22Go camp, in a mountainous area, lie in the open air, under the stars, look up at the stars, think of, try a third time, in ones beds3. Doing the exerciseNow you are going to do the exercise No. 1 on page 22. III.Guided SpeakingThink of funny stories in English and telll them to your group mates.The Student and the Pharmacist 学生和药剂师A somewhat advanced society has figured how to package basic knowledge in pill form. A student, needing some learning, goes to the pharmacy and asks what kind of knowledge pills are available.The pharmacist says, Heres a pill for English literature. The student takes the pill and swallows it and has new knowledge about English literature! What else do you have? asks the student. Well, I have pills for art history, biology, and world history, replies the pharmacist. The student asks for these, and swallows them and has new knowledge about those subjects. Then the student asks, Do you have a pill for math? The pharmacist says, Wait just a moment, and goes back into the storeroom and brings back a whopper of a pill and plunks it on the counter. I have to take that huge pill for math? inquires the student. The pharmacist replied, Well, you know. math always was a little hard to swallow.Out of the mouths of babes 出自孩子之口My two and a half year old grandson lives with his mother. Her roommate also has a two and a half year old child, a daughter. A few days ago they were playing together and my grandson noting that his playmates stomach was exposed ,took his forefinger and poked her belly button. She thought that this was great and they both had a laugh about it. Sometime later his playmate raised her arms inviting my grandson to poke her belly button again. As he moved his forefinger toward her for a repeat performance, she suddenly lowered her arms, backed away and said, No! I have a headache. IV.Guided WritingLearn to write jokesThere are two main parts to the structure of a joke. The first prepares you for the laugh by telling a story which creates a sense of expectation. The second part of the joke, the punch line, provokes laughter by telling an unexpected and different story, yet one which is still patible with the first, as in this example: My wife just ran off with my best friend. Boy, do I miss him. and I had a mud pack facial done, and for three days my face looked much better. Then the mud fell off. Notice the assumption that is made in both these examples. In the first, you assume the person telling the story is angry with his wife, so the punch line surprises you because hes feeling something different and unexpected. Again, in the second example, youd most likely assume the mud had been removed, leaving the face looking better, so the punch line takes you by surprise. So, to write jokes you need to practice reading statements and writing down the asumptions you make about them. You must be able to interpret the statement (first story line) in at least two different ways in order to provide the second, different story i.e. the punch line. And what to write about? Anything that interests you. Anything you have strong opinions about. Now write down your own jokes, in English. IV. Closing down by actingTo end this period, we are going to act the film by Charlie Chaplin The Great Dictator. The Great Dictator 大独裁者Schulz: Speak - it is our only hope.The Jewish Barber (Charlie Chaplins character): Hope. Im sorry but I dont want to be an Emperor - thats not my business - I dont want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible, Jew, gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another, human beings are like that.We all want to live by each others happiness, not by each others misery. We dont want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone and the earth is rich and can provide for everyone.The way of life can be free and beautiful.But we have lost the way.Greed has poisoned mens souls - has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in: machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little: More than machinery we need humanity; More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness.Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me I say Do not despair.The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress: the hate of men will pass and dictators die and the power they took from the people, will return to the people and so long as men die now liberty will never perish.Soldiers - dont give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and enslave you - who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you as cat
