一.本课要点及示例
在今天这一课里, 我们要学习 let's 也就是 let us, l-e-t u-s, let us 的用法; 我们还要学习用连词 that, t-h-a-t, that 引导的宾语从句. 现在我们来听今天这一课的对话, 内容是说亨利提议周未全家一块去旅行的事情, 请你注意听两位英文老师的发音和语调.
M: Kate, let's go for a drive somewhere 1 this weekend.
F: That's a good idea. Just the two of us!
M: I thought 2 that the whole 3 family could 4 go together.
F: I'm afraid that the kids 5 can't. Jenny is staying at the university 6 this weekend to study.
M: What about Peter and Linda?
F: They are going 7 on a trip this weekend with their school.
M: Oh, well. I thought that they would 8 enjoy a family trip.
F: They probably 9 would. But I think that they'll enjoy the school tour 10 even 11 more.
M: Okay 12. We'll go. Just the two of us.
现在我们再听老师用慢速度把整段对话念一遍, 请你注意听.
M: Kate, let's go for a drive somewhere this weekend.
F: That's a good idea. Just the two of us!
M: I thought that the whole family could go together.
F: I'm afraid that the kids can't. Jenny is staying at the university this weekend to study.
M: What about Peter and Linda?
F: They are going on a trip this weekend with their school.
M: Oh, well. I thought that they would enjoy a family trip.
F: They probably would. But I think that they'll enjoy the school tour even more.
M: Okay. We'll go. Just the two of us.
刚才那段对话里有些句子包含了我们今天要学的语法, 现在我请两位老师再把这些句子念出来给你听.
M: Let's go for a drive somewhere this weekend.
M: I thought that the whole family could go together.
F: I'm afraid that the kids can't.
M: I thought that they would enjoy a family trip.
F: I think that they'll enjoy the school tour even more.
二.LET'S
首先我们学习 let's 也就是 let us 的用法. 这两个字用在一个句子的开头可以表示 "我们作什么事情吧!" 比方: "我们开车兜风去吧!" 这句话英文可以这样说: Let's go for a drive. 下面英文老师用这个词组作一些句子, 内容都是有关各种消遣活动, 比方:"滑雪" skiing 13, "滑冰" skating, "骑自行车" biking, "到海边去" go to the beach等等. 每个句子我们念两遍, 请你听一遍, 跟着老师重复一遍.
M: Let's go for a drive.
F: Let's go for a drive.
M: Let's go skiing.
F: Let's go skiing.
M: Let's go skating.
F: Let's go skating.
M: Let's go shopping.
F: Let's go shopping.
M: Let's go biking.
F: Let's go biking.
M: Let's go to the beach.
F: Let's go to the beach.
在下面一组练习里, 先由老师念一个陈述句, 比方: "明天放假" Tomorrow is a holiday. 然后老师提出一些跟休闲活动有关系的建议, 比方: "请客" have a party, 你先把第一句话重复一遍, 再用 Let's 开头把第二句话说出来, 所以答案就是: Tomorrow is a holiday. Let's have a party. 现在我们开始作练习. 每作完一句就请你听老师念正确答案.
M: Tomorrow is a holiday.
M: have a party
F: Tomorrow is a holiday. Let's have a party.
M: There is a good program 14 on television 15.
M: watch it
F: There is a good program on television. Let's watch it.
M: The weather is nice.
M: go for a walk
F: The weather is nice. Let's go for a walk.
M: I would like to go swimming.
M: go to the beach
F: I would like to go swimming. Let's go to the beach.
三.That引导宾语从句
下面我们来学习用连词 that, t-h-a-t, that 引导的宾语从句. 首先请你听两个句子. 第一个句子是: "我想." I think, 第二个句子是: "我们应该开车到海边去."We should drive to the beach. 如果把这两句话合并, 说成 "我想我们应该开车到海边去", 在英文里就必须在两句话之间加上连词 that, 所以整句话就是:I think that we should drive to the beach. 现在我们以代换练习的方式学学这类句子, 练习的内容都是说到亨利想在周未里去玩. 首先老师念一个陈述句, 接着老师念一个宾语从句, 学生就把这个宾语从句代换到原来的句子里. 在学生作练习的时候也请你一起作.
M: I think that the weather will be nice this weekend.
M: We should go somewhere.
F: I think that we should go somewhere.
M: We should drive to the beach.
F: I think that we should drive to the beach.
M: It'll be a good trip.
F: I think that it'll be a good trip.
M: You'll enjoy it.
F: I think that you'll enjoy it.
现在我们来作一些否定句. think 这个动词的用法比较特别, 比方有一句话:"我想这个周未不会下雨", 这句话英文必须这样说: I don't think that it will rain this weekend. 现在我们来练习这类句子, 先由老师念一个否定句, 比方:It won't rain this weekend. 请你把句子改成 I don't think that it will rain this weekend. 这组练习里的字都是我们以前学过的. 现在我们开始作练习, 每作完一句就请你听正确答案.
M: It won't rain this weekend.
F: I don't think that it will rain this weekend.
M: We shouldn't stay home.
F: I don't think that we should stay home.
M: We shouldn't take the train to the beach.
F: I don't think that we should take the train to the beach.
M: It won't be a boring 16 trip.
F: I don't think that it will be a boring trip.
M: Jenny can't come home this weekend.
F: I don't think that Jenny can come home this weekend.
M: Peter and Linda can't go on the family trip.
F: I don't think that Peter and Linda can go on the family trip.
四.包含宾语从句的问句
现在我们来学习包含宾语从句的问句. 比方有一句话: "这个周未会下雨吗?" Is it going to rain this weekend? 如果把这句话改成: "你想这个周未会下雨吗?" 英文就应该这么说: Do you think that it is going to rain this weekend? 现在我们来练习这类句子,首先由老师提出一个问句,比方:"我们应该请客吗?" Should we have a party?请你把句子改成:"你想我们应该请客吗?" Do you think that we should have a party? 这组练习里的句子都跟周未的休闲活动有关系的,现在我们开始作练习.
M: Should we have a party?
F: Do you think that we should have a party?
M: Should we go for a drive?
F: Do you think that we should go for a drive?
M: Should we go to the beach?
F: Do you think that we should go to the beach?
M: Should we go skating?
F: Do you think that we should go skating?
M: Should we go skiing?
F: Do you think that we should go skiing?
M: Should we go shopping?
F: Do you think that we should go shopping?
下面我们来学怎么用简短的方式回答刚才那种问句. 比方有人问你: Do you think that it is going to rain? 如果你认为会, 你就回答说: Yes, I think so. 如果你认为不会你就回答说: No, I don't think so. 现在我们来听亨利问凯特一些问题,每问一句, 老师就会提出一个 yes 或是 no, 然后请你根据这些作肯定或是否定的答覆. 现在我们开始.
M: Do you think that it is going to rain this weekend?
F: No
F: No, I don't think so.
M: Do you think that we can drive to the beach?
F: Yes
F: Yes, I think so.
M: Do You think that it is going to be crowded 17 there?
F: Yes
F: Yes, I think so.
M: Do you think that you will enjoy the trip?
F: Yes
F: Yes, I think so.
M: Do you think that the kids can go with us?
F: No
F: No, I don't think so.
五.THOUGHT+宾语从句
下面我们来学动词 think 的过去式 thought, t-h-o-u-g-h-t, thought 加上连词 that再加上宾语从句的用法.比方有一句话: I thought that he would come. 这句话可以表示 "我当时就认为他会来" , 也可以表示 "我以为他会来".比方在这课的对话里, 亨利听凯特说孩子们不能一起去旅行之后, 就说: I thought that the whole family could go together. 在这种情况下,这句话就应该解释为 "我以为可
以全家一起去". 下面我们来作一组练习, 学学这种用法.首先我们听凯特说一个否定句, Jenny is not coming home. 请你把句子改成: I thought that she was 18. 每作完一句就请你听亨利念正确答案.
F: Jenny is not coming home this weekend.
M: I thought that she was.
F: Peter and Linda are not going with us.
M: I thought that they were.
F: We can't have a family trip this weekend.
M: I thought that we could.
F: We can't take the kids with us.
M: I thought that we could.
F: The kids won't enjoy a family trip this weekend.
M: I thought that they would.
