Module 1 Our Body and Healthy Habits
1. Lead in.
Class, tell me. When you are ill in hospital for a few day，who will pay for it? Your parents? It’s very bad. The health insurance company? Good, it’s much better.
Today we are going to learn about the health care system in three different countries. Now listen to the tape and try to answer the question:
What are the three countries?
—Britain, America, and Canada.
2. Well, all of you have done a good job. Now read the passage quickly and try to find the answer to this question:
Which health care system do you think is the best? Give two or three sentences to explain why.
–I think Canada has a better system, because health care is free. When you become ill, medical fees are paid for by the government.
3. Answer some more questions:
What’s the problem with the American system?
The problem is that poorer people don’t have the money to pay for private health insurance. As a result, they often have both health and money problems.
Why have there been problems with the British health care system recently?
This is because the government has not put enough money into the health service.
What’s the result of the problems with the British health care system?
More people are using private health insurance. They see doctors and the health insurance pay the doctors.

人教版高一英语必修一unit2教案
一、教学目标
通过本章学习，使学生了解谓语的概念、用法，从而减少学生在使用中的错误。
二、教学重点和难点
在谓语的结构中，某些实义动词兼作连系动词的用法；时态、语态及语气。
三、教学方法
Teacher
1．What is the predicate?
First analyse the following sentences.
A．Tom wrote a letter this morning.
B．She is an honest girl.
在B句中，我们把“she”称为主语，把“is an honest girl”称为谓语部分，只说“她”，不知她是谁，她怎样了；而只说是个诚实的姑娘，又不知谁是个诚实的姑娘，这与A句是一样的。
2．The predicate must contain a finite verb. And we call it the predicate verb.
3．Commonly a predicate must not have more than one finite verb, unless they are
co-ordinated ones. In the sentence, Mrs Green is the subject, went, bought and visited are co-ordinated predicates.
4．中国学生常见的错误之一是在一个句子中，用数个动词，但又没能按规则使它们成为并列关系。
A句改成：I came here and learned English.
B句改成：He will get up early and go to school with you.
5．Another mistake that Chinese students often make is that they write a sentence according to Chinese habit.
A．This year I eighteen years old.
B．The film very interesting.
6．系动词在英语中分两大类。一类是be动词，后边跟名词、副词、形容词、介词短语、现在分词、过去分词、动名词及从句作表语。
A．Xiao Ming is a teacher.
B．John is out.
C．He is tall.
D．They are in the room.
E．The news is exciting.
F．He is tired.
G．My work is teaching English.
H．The fact is that you made some spelling mistakes this time.
另一类系动词本身既是个行为动词同时又是个系动词。作为行为动词时，他们与其他行为动词一样，若是个及物动词后边要有宾语，若是个不及物动词，后边往往跟状语。这些既是行为动词又是系动词的词有：get, go, grow, fall, turn, prove, remain, keep, stay, sound, taste, smell, look, appear等。
get
A．We got there at 6:00 A. M.（到达）
B．Can you get a couple of tickets for the concert? （找，得到）
go
A．I’m going to town.（进城）
B．He has gone abroad for further education.（去，走）
grow
A．We grow rice in South China.（种植）
fall
A．Be careful not to fall down. （跌倒）
B．The leaves fell to the ground.（飘落）
turn
A．He turned to me for help.（转向）
B．Turn to P.40, please.（翻到）
prove
A．I’ll prove to you that the letter is poorly written.（证明）
remain
A．Because of the noise, the rich have left, but the poor will have to remain there.（留下）
keep
A．How long have you kept the picture? （保存）
B．He kept talking.（持续，一直）
stay
A．I stayed at a hotel while in New York．（逗留）
sound
He sounded the alarm by ringing the bell.（发出警报）
taste
Let me taste the dish you cooked.（烹任）
smell
The camels can smell the water a mile off. （嗅）
look
Look, there comes the bus.（看）
appear
The famous singer appeared on TV again.（出现）
feel
A．I felt my heart beating hard.
B．Let me feel your forehead. You are running a high temperature.
7．His dream has come true.“他的梦想成真”，是个系表结构的句子，但在使用中也常常只与true连用。因此不带有普遍规律。
8．When we talk about the predicate, certainly we’ll come to another topic, that is “Tense”.
Students
1．Each sentence is divided into two parts. The first part is called the subject. The second part is called the predicate.
In sentence A, if I only say“Tom”, you are sure to ask“What about Tom?”And if I say“wrote a letter yesterday, ”of course you will ask“Who wrote a letter?”
2．在一个句子中必须有主语和谓语，谓语由动词构成。
3．＇91 高考中有这样一道题：On Saturday afternoon, Mrs Green went to the market, bought some bananas and visited her cousin.
怎样分析理解此句的主语与谓语？
4．We students often write English sentences like this:
A．I came here learn English.
B．He will get up early go to school with you.
Are these sentences right or wrong?
5．Sentence A and B are short of verb “be”.
A should be written like this:
This year I am eighteen years old.
B should be written like this:
The film is very interesting.
6．在英语中我们常说到系动词，在使用中要注意些什么？
A句中teacher表示主语的身份。
B句中out表示主语的位置。
C句中tall表示主语的样子。
D句中in the room表示主语的位置。
E句中exciting表示主语的特点。
F句中tired表示主语的状况、样子。

Step I Leading in
T: Good morning, boys and girls! Look, what is in my hand?
Ss: A newspaper.
T: What can we get from a newspaper?
Ss: We can learn what has happened or is happening home and abroad.
T: Good. Do you read newspapers every day?
S1: No, I surf on the internet. In my opinion, the most popular and convenient way is to surf on the internet.
S2: I would like to listen to radio.
S3: I watch TV every day.
S4: I prefer to read magazines. There are photos in magazines. They are pleasing to the eyes. And photos help us to understand the articles.
T: Quite good. I’m very glad you know many kinds of news media. Now let’s talk more about these news media.
Step Ⅱ Warming up
First the teacher will show students different news media. Then talk about them and compare these news media.
T: Boys and girls, please look at the questions on the PowerPoint. I’d like you to discuss them with your partner for 3 minutes. Then I will ask you to speak out your
opinions.
After students express their opinions, show the possible answers on the PowerPoint.
Possible answers:
1. I think TV is the most reliable news media. Because we can see who is responsible for the news.
2. Websites keep on updating the news. So on websites you can always learn the latest news, sometimes even with audio and video.
From TV you can see both the broadcaster and videos. From radio you can only hear the voice without seeing the scenes. You can read newspaper everywhere. It is easy to get magazines and we can take longer time to read them.
3. I trust TV, leading papers and important radio stations.
4. No.
5. magazine, newspaper, radio, TV, website, broadcast, editor, edit, editorials, facts, headline, interview, journalist, opinions, reliable, reporter, true and so on.
Step Ⅲ Pre-listening
Ask students to look at the two pictures on Page 10. Talk about the two pictures first. Ask students to use their imagination and describe the scenes. Try to think of as many words as possible to describe people.
Step Ⅳ Listening
Play the tape for the students. After listening for the first time, the students should tick the information they can hear in each part. Then play the tape again. This time students will answer the second question on Page 10. After checking the answers, do the rest of the exercises.
Step Ⅴ Describing people
Show the following passages to the students. Ask them to read the passages and speak out what impression the people give them. Are they described in a positive way or a negative way?
T: Ok. Boys and girls. Look at the two short passages. Try to judge whether they are described in a positive way or not.
John Trussell
My little brother. (I don’t care that he’s four years older than me.) I never had a brother before, but he’s the best one I think I may ever have who brings me the pleasure of adopting (收养). In spite of all the pain that he occasionally goes through, I have seen him bear it with patience and calm, and do his best to make certain that no one else was hurt before coping with his own pain. It is my only hope that I will never lose this little brother.
Chuck Tetzlaff
He is very funny, overworked, and is the third man I’ve ever met who can consistently make me unable to stop laughing. At the same point, I will get to see him more often, but that will probably be after he finishes working for his Chemistry Professor.
Ss: They are described in a positive way.
T: Read the following passage. Try to judge the man’s attitude towards life.
I was on my way down an elevator at the Hilton in Arlington, Texas, ready to begin a seminar on how to develop more positive team relationships. I shared that ride with a man whose face bore the frown lines that evidenced a less-than-positive attitude.
He commented, “I’m not so sure about this elevator.”
“Oh? Why not?” I asked.
“It was slow getting to us, and it sounds funny.”
“I’m sure we’ll make it,” I encouraged him.
“I don’t know. You never can tell about these things.”
When we arrived at the first floor, I said, “Well, we made it!”
Unimpressed, he answered, “Yeah, but the door’s not open yet.”
Ss: The man’s attitude is negative.
T: Yes, you are quite right. Being positive makes life enjoyable.
Read the following. It will help you to become positive.
Changing negative thoughts
Situation Negative
thoughts Other explanations
Getting critical
feedback for
an essay I am stupid. I didn’t have much time to do this essay the workload has been very heavy recently. I chose to do other things as well. The work is supposed to be challenging. Constructive criticism helps me to improve. I’ve done well in the past, which shows I can do well.
My friend does
not want to see
me tonight. They don’t
care about
me any more. They said they had to work tonight – this is most likely true. We saw each other at the weekend and had a good time. They said some nice things to me lately and seemed to care the last time we met.
T: After we learn so much about negative and positive description. I’m sure you can describe people in both ways. Today’s homework is to describe someone that you
are familiar with in a negative way and then in a positive way.
Step Ⅵ Homework
1. Finish the listening exercises on Page88.
2. Try to describe someone that you are familiar with in a negative way first and then in a positive way.

Step Ⅱ Leading in
After checking homework, divide the students into different groups and hand out some newspapers to them. Ask them to find out the different events on different pages. Then discuss why these events are put in the newspaper. Students are given five minutes. Five minutes later, students are asked to speak out their opinions. During this activity, make sure each member is involved. When expressing their opinions, they should remember to use the following expressions.

Then I will ask some pairs to perform.
Eight minutes later, ask some groups to present the interview.
Step Ⅴ Report
There are several different newspapers edited by students in our school. Teacher may
ask the student editors to introduce what work an editor does.
T: Student1, I was told you are an editor of the Students Union Paper. Would you please tell us what work an editor does?
S1: First I discuss the events with other editors and decide what to report. I also help writers to correct their writing.

Step Ⅰ Revision
Check the homework. Ask students to say something about newspaper.
T：Good morning/ afternoon, boys and girls!
Ss: Good morning Mr. /Ms …!
T: Yesterday I asked you to surf on the Internet to find some information about news and media. Have you found any?
S1: I’ve found the style of the news story. Most news stories have a very clear style. They give the main points at the top in the headline and the leading paragraph(s).
The body of the story then adds details, statements and comments from people involved in the story, and plus any background which the writer feels necessary.
S2: News stories are easy to understand. Most news stories have three distinct sections: the headline, lead and body. Since each of these sections repeat or expand upon the story’s main points, you get at least three chances to understand them. The opening paragraph of the news story is known as the lead. Usually, the
lead will tell you what the “something happened” is. That information is generally found in the subject and in main verb of the leading sentence, so a little knowledge of the grammar of the lead will be useful.
Something happened
● Something happened.
● Something is happening.
● Something is going to/is expected to/might happen.
● Someone said something happened.
● Someone said something was happening.
● Someone said something was going to happen.
● Someone said something should happen.
● Someone said something should not have happened.
S3: I have found something about headlines. From the internet I learned there are two types of headlines. Most news stories use sentence headlines although they may be shortened by omitting certain words as you will see later. Many feature stories and some very short news stories use phrase headlines or titles which leave out the verb. Here are some examples of them:
Sentence
headlines Green Party Refuses to Back Nader for President
Scientists Listen to Whale hearing Via’Third Ear’
Bush’s Strength Is Also His Weakness
Man Complains Bad Rope Spoiled His Suicide
Phrase
headlines Politician Killed in Pakistani City
Bush in T-shirt not for broadcast
Family Friendly Television Group Growing Face Transplant No Longer Science Fiction
Step Ⅱ Pre-reading
T: I’m very glad you have learned a lot about news and news stories. Les’s continue the headlines. In this class we are going to learn “Behind The Headlines”. First open your books and look at Page11. Look through the pre-reading. Look at the title and pictures. Try to guess which of the following questions the text will answer.
It doesn’t matter whether students answer the questions right or not. The text is easy to understand, so it is not necessary to spend much time on the text. After dealing with pre-reading, turn to the text.
Step Ⅲ Reading
First play the tape for students, and then students are asked to answer the following
questions:
1. Are the two reporters interviewing others or being interviewed?
2. How do reporters decide what they are going to write?
3. What is the editor’s job?
Show the questions on the PowerPoint.
T: OK, so much for the pre-reading. Let’s come to the text. First look at the questions on the screens. (Students read the questions together).I will play the tape of the text for you. When you listen to the tape, please try to find the answers to the three questions.
After listening to the tape, ask students to answer the questions. Then show the
suggested answers on the PowerPoint.
Suggested answers:
1. The two reporters are being interviewed. They are interviewees.
2. Editors and reporters will discuss what events to report, how to report them and why. Editors will listen to reporters’ ideas and give suggestions.
3. The editor’s job is to keep the newspaper balanced and interesting to readers.
T: Well done! Now read the text and discuss the questions with your partner. Why is media so important?
This time students are asked to read the text loudly. After reading the text, the students
should discuss the above questions with their partners. Several minutes later, ask
some students to give their answers. The teacher will sum up the answer.
Suggested answer:
The media can often help people to solve problems and draw their attention to situations where help is needed. Carefully written articles can help people become interested in important questions around the world. TV programmes and printed articles help people to learn about the other part of the world. They lead us to a better understanding of the world on all sides and to a future world where people from all countries are respected and different views and opinions are tolerated.
T: After you’ve learned a lot about the newspaper. I’d like you to complete the following diagram. Then try to explain how a newspaper is made according to the diagram.
Suggested answers:
After checking the answers, ask some students to explain how a newspaper is made.
Step Ⅳ Explanation
Deal with some difficult sentences.
T: Let’s come to some details of the text. Do you find any difficult sentences to understand?
S1: I cannot understand the title “Behind the Headlines”?
T: S2, how do you understand it?
S2: I think the text talks about news stories behind the headlines.
T: S3, what’s your opinion?
S3: I think the text tells how news stories are written.
S4: I think the text is about what an editor does, reporters’ work, how the news is made and written.
T: Quite right. The title tells us that the text is about editors and reporters’ work and how the news is made and written.
S1：Thanks. Could you explain this sentence to me? A reporter begins by contacting the people to be interviewed and then prepares questions.
T: Contacting the people that reporters are going to interview is reporters’ first step of work. That is to say, first they make an appointment with the people that they are going to interview, and then prepare the questions they are going to ask. After that they will write the news reports. Do you have any difficulty?
Ss: No more.
T: OK. Now let’s come to the post reading questions.
Step Ⅴ Post-reading
Look through the text again. Deal with the post-reading questions. Students are divided into groups and discuss the questions together. After several minutes, check the answers with the whole class.
T: Boys and girls! Now I’d like to have your answers. Group1, what is your answer to the first question?
Group1: How a reporter decides what to write, why people read newspapers, how newspapers report what happens and how newspapers help us understand the world are answered. The other two are not answered.
2-4 questions are open ending questions. Students are en couraged to give various
answers.

过去分词具有动词的性质，同时兼有形容词或副词的性质，可以拥有自己的逻
主语和状语，在句中可以作表语、定语、状语和补足语。及物动词的过去分词
示“结束了的被动动作”或者没有一定的时间性,只表示“被动关系”。不及物
词的过去分词不表被动，只表示动作发生在谓语动词之前，含有“动作完成，
作结束”之含义。
1）作表语 表示主语的心理感觉或所处的状态。许多动词的过去分词已经被当作形容词使用。如：disappointed, excited, moved, puzzled, pleased, surprised, lost等。
The window is broken. 窗户碎了。
He’s gone. 他走了。
Don’t get so excited. 别这么激动。
2）作定语 单个的过去分词作定语一般放在名词的前面，过去分词短语作定语通常放在被修饰的词后面，相当于一个被动语态的定语从句。如：
There are many fallen leaves on the ground.
地上有许多落叶。
Some of them, born and brought up in rural villages, had never been to Beijing.
他们中的一些人，在农村出生并长大，从没去过北京。

Check the homework.
T: Boys and girls! Let’s look at the two stories.
Show the two pictures on the PowerPoint.
Who will say something about Picture1?
S1: It is a fairy tale.The story will be described in the order in which they happened.
T: Quite good. What about Picture 2?
S2: Picture 2 is a news story. I don’t think it is described in the order of time.
T: Right. That’s the difference. News stories seldom describe events in the order in which they happened (chronological order). News writers know their readers have
limited time and they want the latest or most significant developments (the news) first. Thus, news stories are opposite to fairy tales.
Show these sentences on the PowerPoint.
Step Ⅱ Listening
T: So much for the homework. Open your books and look at Page 15.Look at the two pictures first. Please describe the first picture.
S1: There are a group of angry men armed with sticks outside a factory.
T: Right! What about Picture 2?
S2: Waste gasses from the factory are being sent into the air. Many people with slogans in hand are demonstrating against pollution.
T: Yes, you are quite right. But can you imagine the two pictures are about the same event? Now I will play the tape for you to listen. After listening to the two reports,
you will discuss the questions on Page15.
Step Ⅲ Discussion
After listening to the tape, students are given several minutes to discuss the questions
in groups. After several minutes, students are asked to give their answers.
Suggested answers:
1. The first report is in favor of the company, while the second supports the
demonstrators.
I think the first report was written by a worker. The second was written by one of
the activists.
Less than a hundred people or more than ninety citizens outside a factory is fact.
That the police came is a fact.
Fighting with each other is also a fact. “Cause trouble, most successful company,
rude and noisy, difficult to get into the factory, trouble-makers” are opinions in the
first report. In the second the following are opinions.
“Responsible and caring, the city’s worst polluter, brave and strong, sent out a
group of angry men armed with sticks to fight with the citizens.”
2. For the first report, I would like to use “Trouble-makers were taken to the police station” as the headline. I would choose the picture with a group of men with sticks. For the second report, I would like to use “Demonstration outside the city’s worst polluter”. I would like to use the picture with many people holding slogans.
Step Ⅳ Speaking
After students finishing the group work, go back to the speaking activity and decide
how to report the events they have chosen. Discuss what picture to use and tell the
reasons. Decide what headlines to use and tell the reasons. For this activity students
are given 10 minutes. Ten minutes later, students report their discussion to the whole
class. In this activity each group member should be involved.
Step Ⅴ Writing
After the discussion and demonstration of the speaking activity, students are asked to write a short newspaper article about it. They will write the article individually. Ten minutes later, check some of the articles on the projector with the whole class. Compare their articles about the same event.
Step Ⅵ Homework

Step Ⅱ Samples of the Writings
Writing on Page 16
Writing a paragraph in which you compare two kinds of media, for example websites
and newspapers.
The similarities and differences between
websites and newspapers
Newspapers and websites are both important news media. Newspapers are traditional and have a long history, while websites are new. But they are similar to each other. Both provide news stories and information for people. Both make money by selling ads. Both have different pages. Both have headlines and pictures. But there are great differences between newspapers and websites. The first major difference between newspapers and websites is that websites need a computer and the Internet, while you can read a newspaper everywhere. Another difference is their writers. Newspapers are written by reporters, but websites can be written by anyone. What’s more, many websites are free, while most newspapers cost money. And websites have not only pictures but also audios and videos, which makes stories more interesting. The final difference is that websites change all the time. Many websites are updated many times every day. The latest news is always available on websites. That’s why more people prefer websites to newspapers.
Writing on Page 93
Imagine that you are a reporter for your local newspaper. Your editor has asked you to write an article about a famous TV personality. The editor has given you a list of questions that the readers interested in. Think of more questions and use the answers to write your article.
Li Zhuang, a very young promising host!
Li Zhuang, though only 25, is one of the most popular TV personalities. He is famous for the programme “Music online”.
Li Zhuang has a gift for music. His mother is a music teacher. When he was a small kid, he could sing many songs. At the age of 5, his mother sent him to a music school and this provided him a lot of opportunities to perform on the stage. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons why he is so good at performance. He was very active on the stage. Two years ago, he graduated from a normal university and began his career as a host. Before he came, there wasn’t a music programme. This is a great challenge to him. He worked very hard and watched a lot of video tapes of world famous music hosts. He is full of energy. With his mellow voice he can sing songs very well. He often invites pop stars to his programme. He can build a bridge of understanding easily between the stars and the audience. His enthusiasm always inspires the viewers. When you watch his programme, you cannot help singing. He is very popular, especially among the young people.
Despite the success, Li Zhuang remains modest. He said,“I have a long way to go and should improve myself.” Perhaps he will leave the show for further study.
Such is Li Zhuang, a very young promising host!

How to Write a Good News Story!
By: Bill Nelson
Thanks to the Scouters on Scouts-L who contributed to this page.
As you know, it is wonderful to watch our youth as they grow through the Scouting
program in character, citizenship and moral and physical fitness! Everyone in our community should know what we are doing and the great education our youth are obtaining through Scouting. Consider having a publicity person in your unit.
The local newspapers and TV stations are looking for community stories so we
have a great opportunity to tell our story.
News releases are easy to write up and many newspapers and TV stations now have
email addresses that you can send them to. Don’t forget to send releases to your local church, educational, community or corporate newsletters!
Every news release should be written to answer the essential questions of any news
item, commonly called the five Ws plus one:
Who will do it? What will they do?
When will they do it? Where will they do it?
Why will they do it? How will they do it?
The structure of the news release is important. It must be written so that the reader
has the essential information at the outset. The lead, usually the first paragraph or two, should summarize the “five Ws” to give the reader an overview. The rest of the paragraphs will answer the six questions. The longer the news release, the better the reader will understand the news. The news release should be typed double-spaced. The top of the page should include a title, contact name, and telephone number. ALWAYS include the Council Web site address, from there people can find out more about what we do and how to join. Note that if a paper prints your news release and needs to trim off for space, they will trim from the bottom.
News releases should be sent out for all sorts of activities, including, but not limited
to:
Special trips Parent’s Nights
Special events Social Activities
Service Projects Election of Offices
Pinewood Derbies Spring and Fall Recruiting
Photos catch the eye of the reader and make a story more interesting. News reporters know this and want a photo in the story as much as you do. If you have a photo, send it to them, but many newspapers would prefer to shoot their own. That means giving them plenty of notice of when your event will take place.
Some Tips:
1. Local weekly and semi-weekly newspapers are much more likely to publish your story. Look on the Editorial pages of those newspapers for a list of phone numbers
and email addresses.
2. Watch, listen, read your local media and start a list of media outlets that reports on these types of local events.
3. Read the paper and get a feel for the writing style. Write a news story not an advertisement. Your article may be cut so put the most important items up front.
4. Write to each company and ask for their Guidelines for Submissions. This should outline exactly how they wish to be notified about your event. Some request snail mail (not too many now) some will provide a special fax number, others may have a hotline, and still others may offer email. They may also request a certain format.
Ask about any special issues. They may have a neighborhood section that comes out a specific day of the week, there may be an annual issue with community
groups. Ask about deadlines they may have for those issues.
5. Keep holidays in mind. It’s a cliché, but helping the needy at Christmas, helping with a 4th of July event, etc. is classic Scouting and a standard for many papers.
6. Submit, submit, and submit. They will not yell at you for overloading their mailbox. They receive dozens to hundreds of them each day/week. The best ones or ones
that catch the editor’s attention get published.
7. It may help if you can make friends with the editor.
8. For pictures, action shots are generally better than lineups but in any case be sure the people in the picture are identifiable. Think about a sports picture and how it
usually focuses on one or two people–the other six or twenty people who were around the action got cut out by the photo editor. The focus is now on the action and the attention grabber isn’t lost in a crowd of people. It helps to provide larger pictures, i.e., 8×10, when available. Providing negatives helps with some papers.
9. Sometimes all that will be published is the picture with a caption. Clearly identify everyone in the picture and you may wish to secure releases from the parents of the
kids. Some parent may not want a child’s picture in the paper.
10. Think of how your event is unusual, i.e., the man bites dog story rather than the dog bites man. Special awards, big numbers, etc. should start your story. Avoid beginning “At Troop 0s monthly court of honor …” What is different about your court of honor or event. One unit got some great coverage for their Court of Honor (COH) when the bat lady was the program – “Bat Lady Gives Life to Two Scouts”. A professor who studies bats showed some slides at the COH in anticipation on an upcoming outing to a bat cave. They had her present the Life Scout badges to two boys. Meanwhile, the story included all the other recognitions
that evening. Another local troop sent in their list of awards from a COH the same night and got no story.
11. News comes from NEW, not old. Get your stories in right away. If you take a week getting the info to the media, it is less likely to be used–history doesn’t
sell many newspapers.
12. If your story doesn’t get into the paper, don’t give up. Keep at it, you may have just hit a big news day and there wasn’t room. If several stories don’t make it,
give the editor a call and find out what you could do to improve your chances of getting published.
Finally, don’t forget to thank the reporter after the article is published for doing a good job in reporting the event!
What Does An Editor Do?
www.persuasivepen.com
by Holmberg, Janis
An editor corrects and prepares writing for publication. Three kinds of editing many editorial services offer are proofreading, content editing, and consulting and creative editing, or rewriting.
Proofreading marks the document for types, spelling, capitalization, punctuation, subject-verb agreement, and errors in word usage.
Content editing includes proofreading notations, and also analyzes reports and makes suggestions for word choice, figures of speech, sentence and paragraph structure and style, and overall readability.
Consulting and creative editing includes proofreading and content editing, and also works with the writer to determine the target audience, define and project an identity, and design or redesign the document to connect with and convince the target audience.
Here are some examples of proofreading, content editing and consulting and creative editing:
The original paragraph:
It is my painful duty to inform you that circumstances forced me to request the Finance Manager to relinquish his position. This action was not taken lightly and without incontrovertible evidence. Information received last Friday confirmed suspicions rose after taking the position concerning the misrepresentation of facts both before and after his appointment as to the holding of a doctorate. He has submitted his resignation effective January 22 .
The proofread paragraph:
It is my painful duty to inform you that circumstances forced me to request the finance manager to relinquish his position. This action was not taken lightly or without incontrovertible evidence. Information received last Friday confirmed suspicions rose after taking the position concerning the misrepresentation of facts both before and after his appointment as to the holding of a doctorate. He has submitted his resignation effective January 22, 1999.
The edited paragraph:
I am sorry to inform you that I have asked the finance manager to resign his position. I took this action because the company has evidence that this employee misrepresented his educational qualifications. The resignation is effective January 22, 1999.
The recreated paragraph:
Effective January 22, 1999, the finance manager has resigned his position with XXX Company.
Each revision reflects a decision about what and how much to change. A good editor works with the client to communicate clearly and concisely.
Some practical things
1. Brainstorming meetings.
Have them, but you’ll need a few rules to make them work. Sometimes I schedule them and make attendance mandatory. These meetings always have a topic, announced in advance. It might be something as simple as, “How can we come up with a great story for Mother’s Day” or it might be to explore some broader topic in the news, such as, “What can we do that no one else is doing on how DNA evidence is affecting the criminal justice system.”
Keep the meeting on the subject and never have one without a topic or it will turn into a useless bull session or maybe even a gripe session.
More often, the brainstorming sessions are held standing up, in the middle of our newsroom, over some story that is in the news or some issue that is suddenly on our
minds.
It is vital to foster an environment in which these discussions happen spontaneously, and anyone in the room feels free to start them.
Whether the meetings happen spontaneously or are scheduled, there is one golden rule. No one is allowed to say something is a bad idea. It kills discussion. And a lot of the best ideas are the ones that may sound stupid at first because they are different. The obligation of everyone in the brainstorming session should be to run with the idea and see where it leads. The prevailing ethic of these meetings should be this thought: If we were to proceed with this idea, what would we do?
2. Go for walks outside.
Get out of the office as much as you can, especially if you are a manager and actually have an office. In the office, it is hard for an editor to shed the illusion that
he has power, and this can make it difficult for folks to talk freely in front of you. The worst place you can be if you want your staff’s best thinking is on your throne
behind your desk. It’s not that getting out of the office fools anybody. They still understand the power relationships. But when you are outside, walking together, the symbols of editor power are absent and both you and your staffer can be more relaxed. The conversation changes from underling-boss to two folks who care about journalism having a chat. This more than a good way to talk to staff about story ideas or about their work. I think it is THE way to conduct job interviews. I always
take job candidates out of the office for a stroll to Central Park. On these jaunts, the candidate’s personality true personality is likely to come out, and since you will be
spending more time with your staff than with your spouse, you don’t want to hire any assholes. Added benefit: I get to smoke a good cigar when I walk.
3. Mentoring as part of the job.
Almost every newspaper has a few privileged writers. They have the best jobs, cover the biggest stories, and do the least amount of routine. (Here at AP, the writers in my department are particularly privileged. Their job is to do the great stories. They can go anywhere, write about anything, and take all the time that they need, as long as they produce first-class work.) With such privilege there should also be responsibility. So, I have made mentoring a category-along with such things as writing quality, productivity, creativity, etc. – in the annual appraisal form for my writers. There is no formal mentoring program. Rather, I make it clear to my writers that they have a responsibility to share what they know and that they had better find a way to do it. Some of them have taken several inexperienced bureau reporters under their wings. Others make it a point of stopping in at local AP bureaus on their travels and conducting writing or reporting workshops. And, oh yeah. No mentoring, no merit raise.
4. Where do ideas come from?
Make sure that everyone in the newsroom understands that at least 90 percent of the story ideas come from writers. Writers who sit around waiting for assignments
are not doing their jobs and need to be told as much. Editors who dream up most of the ideas for their staffs and then assign them are an even bigger problem and should be reeducated or fired. It’s not that editors can’t have ideas. Of course they can. But there is no way they can have anywhere enough good ones to keep a staff busy. I work in an office overlooking Rockefeller Plaza. If I lean out my window, I can see the famous skating rink, but that’s all I can see of the world from the place I spend most of my time. If, from here, I already know something is a story, how likely it is to be news. The writers must be the eyes and ears of the newspaper. The best ideas are the ones they come back to the office with and astonish us. Make idea generation the most heavily weighted category in annual evaluations of reporters.
5. First person stories.
Encourage them – especially in writers who write in journalese or with stiff, institutional voices. There is something about writing in first-person, about personal
experiences, that loosens writers up. It helps them overcome wrong-headed ideas about what journalism writing is supposed to be like and find their own natural
voices as writers.
6. Big ideas Movie reviews.
Encourage staffers all over the newspaper to write them -once again, especially those writers mired in journalese or institutional writing voices. Reviews, too, can loosen these writers up and help them discover their own voices. One AP writer, for example, has become a much different and much better writer since taking a regular turn reviewing children’s movies. (He always takes his kids along for their expert opinions.)
Big ideas
Beware of the boxes.
Newsroom structures put our staffs, and often our thinking, inside boxes. Usually they have labels such as “sports,” “business,” “arts && entertainment,” etc. The world, however, is not organized that way. We must not let the boxes we are in define how we see the world or how we write our stories. But often we do. Suppose, for example, we learn that a new restaurant near the State House is the new hot place for legislators to have their power lunches. If the business department does the story, it will be a business story. If the politics desk does it, it will be a political story. If the city desk does it, it may be a city life story. It could also be a restaurant review. But what is the BEST story? Meanwhile, some of the very best stories may not get done at all because they don’t fall into any of the boxes we have created. We must let the world as it is — not our organizational structures — define our work. And if you’ve moved to a team structure, don’t make the mistake of thinking you have solved this problem. What you have done is create a different set of boxes.

词汇精讲
1. put onput on在本课中意为“增加(体重);发胖”。例如：I can eat what I want but I never put on weight. 我想吃什么就吃什么，但是从来不发胖。【拓展】put on的其他用法：(1) 意为“穿上;戴上”。例如：It’s much too cold outside. You should put on your coat. 外面太冷了，你应该穿上外套。She put on her coat and went out. 她穿上大衣出去了。(2) 意为“上演;举办”。例如：The band is hoping to put on aUKshow before the end of the year.那个乐队希望年底之前在英国举办一场演出。
2. wish/hope(1) 相同点：表示“想;希望”，宾语可为to do,不能用doing。例如：I hope/wish to visit Guilin. 我希望去桂林观光。(2) 不同点：wish后可以跟复合宾语，即wish sb. to do sth.，而hope不能。例如：I wish you to go. (正) 我希望你去。I hope you to go. (误) 我希望你去。(3) 两者都可接that从句，但是“hope + that从句”表示希望，“wish + that从句”表示愿望，且从句的谓语动词要用虚拟语气。例如：I hope you’ll be better soon. 我希望你很快好起来。I wish I were really wealthy. 但愿我真的富有。(4) wish后可接双宾语。例如：We wish you a happy New Year! 我们祝你新年快乐!
3. missmiss为动词，意为“想念，思念”。例如：I’ll miss you when you go toCanada. 你到了加拿大以后，我一定会想你。 【拓展】(1) miss作动词还有“未击中，未抓住”的意思。例如：I tried to hit the ball but I missed. 我努力地想击中球，但却未成功。(2) miss还可意为“未赶上，错过”，是动词。例如：I missed the football match on TV last night. 我错过了昨天晚上电视中的足球赛。(3) miss与like; mind; finish; enjoy; practice; be busy; stop; can’t help; give up等词一样后接动词的-ing形式。例如：I don’t want to miss seeing that film on television tonight.我不想错过今晚在电视上看那部影片的机会。
4. howeverhowever是副词，意为“不过;然而”，有转折的含义，相当于but，可位于句首、句中和句末。位于句首时，其后用逗号隔开;位于句中时，其前用分号或逗号，其后用逗号隔开;位于句末时，其前用逗号隔开。但but只能置于句首或句中。例如：She’s very intelligent. However, she’s quite lazy. 她非常聪明，但是她很懒惰。【拓展】however与but(1) however是副词，意为“不过;然而”，表转折时，与后面的句子用逗号隔开，不能与but连用。例如：My room is small. However, it’s comfortable. 的房间小，但很舒服。(2) but是连词，意为“但是”，表示转折时，与后面内容相连，不用逗号隔开。例如：She is young but very clever. 她虽然年轻但非常聪明。
5. dress updress up意为“装扮，乔装打扮”或者“穿上盛装，打扮”。例如：You don’t need dress up for the party. 你不必为这个聚会精心打扮。【拓展】dress up常与as;in连用构成短语dress up as…意为“装扮成……;乔装打扮成……”;dress up in…意为“穿上……”，后接表示衣服或颜色的名词。例如：He likes to dress up as a solider. 他喜欢装扮成军人。On Christmas Day we always dress up in red. 在圣诞节我们总是穿上红衣服。
6. care aboutcare about意为“担心;关心;在乎;对……感兴趣”。例如：Don’t you care about losing your job? 你难道不担心失去工作吗?I really care about the students in my class. 我真的很关心我班的学生。I don’t care about your opinion. 我对你的观点不感兴趣。【拓展】care about与care for的辨析：(1) care about意为“关心;在乎;介意”，强调出于责任感而“关心;在乎”。例如：My parents care about my health. 我父母关心我的健康。(2) care for可意为“照料;照顾”，与take care of同义;也可意为“喜欢”，多用于疑问句或否定句，其同义短语为be fond of。例如：Would you care for a cup of tea? 你想喝杯茶吗?He helped me care for my mother when I left. 我离开时，他帮我照顾我母亲。
7. remind(1) remind是及物动词，意思是“提醒、使某人想起”，经常和介词of连用构成动词短语remind somebody of somebody/something=remind somebody that+从句，意思是“使某人想起某事或者某人”。例如：Does that song remind you of your mother? 那首歌使你想起你的妈妈吗?
(2) 动词短语remind somebody to do something的意思是“提醒某人做某事”。例如：Please remind me to return the books to the library.
请提醒我把这些书还给图书馆。
8. promisepromise是动词，意为“允诺，答应”。其用法归纳如下：(1) 后接名词或代词作宾语，常可以带间接宾语，即构成promise sb. sth. 例如：He promised me the book. 他答应给我这本书。(2) promise to do sth. 意为“承诺/答应做某事”。例如：He promised to help us. 他答应要帮助我们。(3) promise sb. (not) to do sth. 意为“承诺/答应某人(不)做某事”。例如：I promise you not to say that. 我答应你不说那件事。(4) promise + that从句，意为“承诺……”。例如：He promised that he would come straight home. 他承诺他会直接回家。

教学目标(Teaching Aims)
通过本单元教学，使学生初步学会说：什么东西或什么人在什么地方，即人或物所在的位置。并要求学生尽可能在交际场合使用。本单元只教学生静态位置的表达。（动态位置以后再学）要学习be动词，介词in， on， near， behind， under以及定冠词the和不定冠词a/an的用法。
词汇学习：
掌握：
of， classroom， answer， blackboard， some， schoolbag， flower， find， window
理解：
broom， raincoat， cap， Hong Kong， Macao， SAR
语音：
/i:/ e /e/ e /k/ k /^ / g /s/ s /z/ s
教学建议
教学内容分析
本单元主要学会表达大范围 (Where is Beijing?) 和小范围 (Where is my desk?) 的空间关系。小范围的空间关系，可利用教室里的物品练习句型。老师可不断的变换物品的位置让学生熟悉前面提到的几个介词。
大范围的空间关系，老师可利用地图让学生确认我国主要城市的位置。老师同时要以特殊的表达导入介词“特指the”与“泛指a/an”用法。
以上表达应会听、说、（包括会问回答）读，语调语、音基本正确。
辅音音标的发音不必一步到位。如; /s/， /z/
教学重难点分析
1、句型
a、主谓一致，即be动词的单复数。
Where is/ Where’s …?
It is/ It’s on/ in/behind/near/under the…
Where are/ Where’re …?
They are/ They’re on/ in/behind/near/under the…
注意语序：
特殊疑问句： 疑问词 + 是动词 + 主语 + 问号
b、介词in， on， near， behind， under的用法; 可组成介词短语。
介词 + 定冠词 + 名词
如：in the morning， at night， in the desk， on the table， near the door等。
2、日常交际用语
Look at the picture。 What can you see …? I can / can’t see… Can you see …?
Where is /Where’s…? It is / It’s in， behind， near， under the…
Where are /Where’re …? They are / They’re in， behind， near， under the…
单词训练建议
classroom， blackboard， schoolbag， raincoat，football 均为合成词。可让学生利用所学过的单词知识，自学这些单词。
学生能自学的词尽量让学生自学，老师可稍加引导，以下单词可迁移，让学生自己读 behind → find room →broom
口语训练建议
本单元的口语训练应放在空间关系上。并应当贯穿始终。口语训练重要的一环就是正确引入“位置”所谓概念。这与中文有较大的差异。中文说：在… 里，（上，后面，附近）的结构，英文只用一个介词，不同的介词比表达了不同的位置，而且一般要与定冠词the连用。向学生们介绍介词时，多用直观展示，适当用中文。
为了使学生能够确切把握介词的特点，我们在训练的最初阶段应当集中展示两个物体之间的变化，不要过早的变换物体，这样学生就能聚精会神的体会位置表达的基本方法。注意以下几点：
1、创设一个合乎生活逻辑的.语境。
2、寻找一个非设计空间表达不可的动机。如：寻找一个提问者看不见的东西。 老师上课找不见黑板擦，问一个学生。—- Where’s the brush? —- It’s under the teacher’s table。老师也可自问自答。尽量从交际出发，减少纯句型练习。
3、确定对话参与者之间的特定关系。
在物体选择上，最好一大一小，构成一主一从的格局。建议教师使用一个色彩鲜明的大纸盒和一个具有对比色度的小球，然后再换成玩具小动物，如小狗或小猫等，引起学生更大的兴趣。
画一只猫和一个盒子，这只猫分别在盒子的四个位置，即在上、在下、在里、在后。
运用型训练建议
老师可设计一个让学生去办公室去拿东西的情景，告诉学生东西的位置。这个练习最好事先和课代表准备好。课上给全班同学演示。其目的是告诉学生们介词在生活中的运用。
Eg。
Teacher: Could you help me?
Student: Sure。
T: Go to my office and fetch your notebooks。
S: Where are our notebooks?
T: They are on my table。
S: Where is your table?
T: It’s near the second window。

笔头训练建议
老师可设计一些基本的测试性的笔头练习，但一定是课堂上反复练习过的。多用直观的方式提供物体的位置，适量中文。注意以下几点：
1．清楚的展示物体的位置。
2．严格限定表示条件。
3．迅速反馈改正信息。
语法训练建议
冠词训练
a、第一次提到用a/an。
b、定冠词特指后接单述或复数名词。
可指教室里存在的东西，如：地面、时钟、桌椅等， 大家都知道的物品。
c、位置介词的用法。
in the bag， under the table， on the desk ， on the table等。
情感教育建议
通过本单元的确定位置，以及寻找物品，告诉学生应养成放好自己的物品，不乱扔乱放东西的习惯，培养学生乐于助人，帮助别人寻找东西，以及拾到东西应交公或交还失主的良好品德。
可利用本单元所提供的内容，Taiwan， Hong Kong， Macao， SAR， 进行爱国主义教育。
情景教学
学习方位表达在日常生活中很有用。我们身边有很多可就地取材的东西，建议老师在教、学生在学的时候，都不要忽略了身边的实物。如：书包在哪里，书在哪里，桌椅在哪里等。同学们要尽可能练到脱口而出，这样在交际时才能做到熟练自然，学以致用。
看地图讲地名，要求学生有地理知识。老师不妨在课前让学生熟悉一下地图，知道三亚在海南，西安在陕西。此后再学用英语表达难度会小些。如有可能，再让学生看看美国地图、英国地图，谈谈伦敦在哪儿，华盛顿、纽约在哪儿，巩固所学知识，提高学习兴趣。
冠词a/an， the的用法
冠词是用在名词前帮助说明所指的人或事物。其分为不定冠词(a， an)和定冠词(the)。
不定冠词a和an的功能
1、指人或事物的某一种类。例如：He is a student。。他是学生。
2、指人或某事物，但不具体说明何人或何物。例如；A boy is over there。
3、表示数量“一”的概念。例如：I have a bike， a computer and a small room。 我有一辆自行车、一台电脑和一个小房间。
4、用于某些固定词组中。例如：have a look， have a seat等。
