The first one: hot under the collar? S: The idiom means that somebody is very angry. T: Do you agree? Ss: Yes. T: Next one: down in the dumps? S: Let me have a try. The idiom expressed the feeling of sadness. T: You are right. The last one: on cloud nine? S: That means someone is very happy. T: Correct!You all have done a good revision. StepⅡ Presentation Show students the following sentences, and ask them to speak out the difference. 1. He went to Paris two years ago. 2. He will go to Paris next year. T: Please look at the two sentences. Can you tell the difference between them? S: The first sentence talks about something that happened in the past and the second sentence talks about something that happens in the future. T: Exactly! Step Ⅲ Explanation Get the students to talk about the different forms of the past tense and the future tense. T: We have learned what the past tense is and what the future tense is. There are many forms of each tense. Let’s deal with the past tense first. Please look at the following sentences. Show students the following sentences. 1. Sang Lan was born in Ningbo, China in 1981. 2. She knew that in those years she was making her parents proud. 3. Instead of crying about what she had lost, Sang Lan thought about what she could do to get better. 4. By the time she competed in the New York Goodwill Games, she had been a dedicated junior gymnast for eleven years. T: First, look at the four sentences. Do they have something in common? S: Yes! They all use the past tense. T: But there are also differences among them. Can you tell the differences? Next, discuss with your partners. Pay attention to the italic words. Several minutes later. T: Can you show your opinions now? Ss: Yes. S: In the first sentence we use the simple past tense to talk about something happened in the past. T: Very good. What about the second sentence? S: I think it means something happened in the past and continued for some time. T: Very good! Thank you! Now let’s move to the last two sentences. S: They are both used in the past perfect tense. By looking at the two sentences, I think we use the past perfect tense to talk about things that happened in the past and stopped before another past action began. T: Excellent! But I think you are partly right. Do the two sentences express the same meaning? S: The fourth sentence means the thing happened in the past and at that time another past action began. T: That’s it! Just now we talked about different forms of the past tense. And later, we will do more practice about them. Now let’s move to the future tense. Please look at the following sentences. Can you tell the difference? Show students the following sentences: 1. She will come with us to watch the football match tomorrow. 2. I shall work hard and learn to become a gymnast. 3. Today, I’m going to talk about how to find happiness. 4. Dr Brain will be talking about success next time. 5. Before she went to the Goodwill Games, Sang Lan told her parents she was going to win her event. Several minutes later T: Are you ready to show me your answers? Ss: Yes! S: I will have a try. In sentences1, 2, 3 the simple future tense is used. When the subject is the first person, we usually use shall instead of will. T: You are right. Then when shall we use “be going to”? S: I think when we want to talk about future plans and intentions, we can use “be going to”. T: Very good. You got the answer. What about sentence 4? S: Sentence 4 uses the future continuous tense. This sentence is used to talk about something that will start in the future and continue for some time. T: Excellent! The fifth sentence is used in the future in the past. When shall we use this tense? S: When we want to talk about an event which was in the future at the time when it was discussed. T: You got the answer. Good job! Next I’ll show you further explanations about future tense. Show the following to the students and ask them to take some notes. 1. will / shall do 表示纯粹的将来或临时做出的决定,也可表示一种必然的趋势。 2. be going to do 表示打算,准备做某事,也表示根据某种迹象判断某事肯定要发生。 3. be doing 表示最近按计划,安排要做某事,常常带有时间状语。 4. be about to do 单纯表示即将发生的动作,常与when 连用,意为"这时",但不与表示未来的时间状语连用。 5. 一般现在时表将来时,指早已计划好,到时一定会发生的事,也可表示按时间进程或时间表的安排到时一定要发生的事。 Step Ⅳ Consolidation Help the students do some exercises to practice using the past and the future tenses.
