Step I Greetings and Revision
T: Good morning / afternoon, everyone!
Ss: Good morning / afternoon, Mr / Ms...
T: In the last period, I asked you to find out the sentences using present perfect tense in the text. Have you found them?
Ss: Yes.
T: OK! Now one student, one sentence. And I will ask you some questions according to the sentences you offer. Volunteer?
S1: It’s been six years since we last saw each other, you know.
T: I have a question. When was the last time that the speaker saw his friend?
S1: The last time that the speaker saw his friend was six years ago.
S2: This is the first time I’ve visited your hometown.
S3: I’ve seen quite a lot of China.
T: Do you know when the speaker saw these places?

S4: I’ve visited some beautiful cities.
T: Do you know when the speaker visited these cities?
S4: I think he visited these cities before he visits Xiao Li’s hometown.

S5: Yes, this is a recent event.
S6: They’ve put up a lot of high-rise buildings recently.
T: Did they do this a long time ago?

Step II Grammar 1
T: Now please turn to page 34, and do Activity 2.
A few minutes later, ask the students to check the answers. Then let the students work in pairs to talk about an interesting place they have been to to practice the present perfect tense.
T: OK! Now please work in pairs and tell your partners about the interesting places that you have been to. Tell your partners when you went and what you did there. And ask if they have been there. Don’t forget to use the present perfect tense.
A sample version:
S1: Hi! I haven’t seen you for several months. Where have you been?
S2: I have been to France.
S1: Really! When did you go there?
S2: I went there three months ago. I studied two courses. France is a wonderful place. There are a lot of tourist attractions. Have you been there?
S1: No. I wish I could have your luck.
Explanation:
1．一般过去时所关心的是过去某时发生的动作，与现在无联系，常有表示过去某时的状语；而现在完成时所关心的是过去发生的动作和现在的联系或对现在产生的影响，强调过去与现在的关系。
2．一般过去时常带有表示过去某时刻的时间状语，例如last night, yesterday, last year, three months ago等；而现在完成时所带时间状语包括说话时在内或与说话时非常接近，例如today, these days, recently, just等。
3．现在完成时与for或since引起的短语连用时，表示从过去开始的动作或状态延续至今；而一般过去时与for引起的短语连用时，只指过去的动作或状态在过去延续了多长时间。
Let the students do Exercise 3 on page 85 of WORKBOOK to further practice the present perfect tense and enable them to distinguish between the present perfect tense and the past simple tense.
T: Please turn to page 85 and do Exercise 3 to choose correct forms of the verbs.
Check the answers after the students finish it.
Step III Grammar 2
Let the students do some exercises to enable them to distinguish verbs that can last and that cannot last.
T: Now please look at some verbs on the screen and classify them into two groups. One group is verbs to describe events that can continue over a period of time. And the other group is verbs to describe events that happen at a particular point of time.
Show the words on the screen.
work, start, join, borrow, buy, give, know,
leave, live, open, put, remain, send, stay
A few minutes later, check the answers.
Sample answers:
Verbs to describe events that can continue over a period of time: work, know, live, remain, stay
Verbs to describe events happen at a particular point in time: start, join, borrow, buy, give, leave, open, put, and send
T: Now let’s do some practice to see how these verbs are used in past prefect tense. Turn to page 36 and do Activity 3. When you do it, please pay attention to the verbs to see which group they belong to, A or B?
After a few minutes, check the answers.
Explanation:
在现在完成时态中，非延续性动词不能和表示延续概念的“for ＋ 一段时间”的时间状语连用，在此时可用与其意义对应的状态性短语来表示。例如：
He has died. 他已经死了。
We can’t say “He has died for several years”. Instead, we say:
He has been dead for several years. / He died several years ago. / It is several years since he died.
T: Please look at the three sentences of Activity 4 on page 36 and answer which phrases have the same meaning.
S8: I think the three phrases all have the same meaning.
T: Correct. Their meaning is “到目前为止”. Now please work in pairs and ask and answer about what you have learnt so far / up to now this term, in your lessons at school.
A sample version:
A: What have you learnt in your English lessons so far this term?
B: I’ve learnt three modules.
A: What have you learnt in your maths lessons up to now?
B: ...
