Teaching procedure
Step 1 General introduction
1. Give some examples of inversion to show what inversion is.
Did you go to visit the Louvre?
Seldom does he paint now.
He did not like the painting. Neither did I.
Note: Inversion is the changing of the order of the words in the sentence. We put the predicate or part of it before the subject, when we use inversion.
Step2 Explanation
倒装句(Inversion)

Did you go to visit the Louvre Museum?
What do you know about Van Gogh?
2) When the sentence begins with a negative word or phrase such as never, seldom, rarely, little, hardly, not, nowhere, scarcely, not until, by no means, in no time, under no circumstance, no sooner…than…, hardly… when…, not only…, neither

3) When only is used to modify an adverbial (clause) and put at the beginning of a sentence.

Only he can solve the problem.
4) When the sentence begins with so/such.( which introduces an adverbial clause of result)
So angry was he that he couldn’t speak.
Such a lovely girl is she that we all like her.
5) When the sentence begins with so, neither, nor.
He has been to Beijing. So have I.
If you don’t go there tomorrow, neither / nor will/shall I.

Note: If a sentence has 2 or more predicates, we should use ‘It is/was the same with…’, or ‘So it is/was with…’

6. When a sentence begins with ‘often, always, now and then, many a time’
Many a time has she helped me with my experiments.
Always does he ask me for money.
2. Complete inversion
1) When the sentence begins with a direct speech or part of it.
“I’ll come back in three days,” said Tom..
“What are you doing?” he asked (asked he).
“Why didn’t you join us?” Tom asked me.
2) When the subject is too long.

4) When the sentence begins with here, there, now, then, in, out, up, down,
away, off, thus, etc.
Here comes the bus.

Note:
1) If the subject is a pronoun, we can not use inversion.
Here he comes.
2) Simple present tense should be used with here, there, now
5) A sentence beginning with prepositional phrases.
On the top of the hill stands a temple.
At the end of the valley lies a small lake.
6) When such is used as predicative.
Such were the facts.
Such will be our future.
3 Inversion can also be used in formal language to talk about unreal conditionals.
Had it not been for the heavy rain, we would have finished the task.
Were I you (= If I were you), I would go abroad.
Should he come (=If he should come), please tell him to ring me up.

Unit 3 Understanding each other
Part One Teaching Design
第一部分 教学设计
Aims and requirements
Read an Internet chat room conversation and a travel brochure
Listen to a conversation about showing foreign visitors around a city
Talk about different cultures, traditions and taboos
Write a letter of apology
Make a reference book about the culture of a country
Procedures
● Welcome to the Unit
Step 1:Brainstorming
As we all know, different countries have different cultures and customs. Look at the following pictures. In which countries do people greet each other in the way like the people in each picture do? (Kiss: Some of the South American countries, Russia, France, Arab countries…; Shaking hands: Britain, China…)
In France, it is the custom to shake hands with people in the office every morning.
Step 2:Sharing information
Look at the following pictures and read the captions under them .
Can you match the ways of greeting with the countries?
Country/Area Ways of greeting
Holland putting their hands together and bowing slightly
Thailand kissing each other on one cheek and then the other
The USA greeting each other by touching noses
South America hugging each other
The Middle East shaking hands with each other
Japan bowing to each other
What about an Arab and a Japanese meeting for the first time? As a Chinese, if you are not familiar with greetings from other countries, what might happen?
(Maybe we would feel embarrassed; we might be involved in awkward situations like…)
Step 3: Discussion
1. Do you know of any other ways of greeting that people around the world use?
2. People in different countries greet each other in different ways. Why?
3. Can you think of any other customs that are different in different parts of the world?
Step 4: Homework
1. Search more information about different ways of greetings and some unique customs in some countries.
2. Prepare the Reading part.
Reading Cultural differences
Step 1: Lead-in
Many people like chatting on line, especially you students. You must have many e-pals.
What do you think of online chat?
Do you think it is really a good way to know more things and make more friends?
Have you ever experienced any funny things or awkward situations when chatting with your cyber friends?
Now, we will read an Internet chat room conversation. Surely you will know all about these after you read it. Sometimes online chat does benefit us a lot.
Step 2: Fast reading for general ideas
Go through the passage as quickly as possible and try to find answers to the three questions in part A on Page34. Just focus on and identify the information needed to answer these questions.
Answers
1. He is from Brunei.
2. He comes from UK.
3. No, they don’t. Only the Sultan and his family do.
Step 3: Detailed reading for important information.
1. Let’s read the passage again and complete Parts C1 and C2 on page 36.
Answers
C1 1. Thanksgiving Day is held to celebrate the first harvest after the European settlers went to live in the USA.
2. Turkey.
3. In the West, the polite time to open a present is when someone gives it to a person, because they like to see the person’s reaction.
4. Guests expect presents as a souvenir to remember the big day.
5. Alcohol.
6. In Brunel, you should use your thumb to point at things.
7. In both places, you should take off your shoes before going inside a house.

E 1)traditions 2)Thanksgiving 3)harvest 4)Europe 5)celebrate
6)weddings 7)embarrassing 8) presents 9)rude 10) thumb
Step 5: Post-reading activities
1. Now let’s make up a dialogue by using the questions in Part F on Page 37. Work in pairs for a few minutes and then present your dialogue to the whole class.
2. There are also cultural differences in different English-speaking countries. For example:
Americans enjoy a good sense of humour; the British take a somewhat different view and believe a formal approach is the best way; the Australians are more informal and straightforward, often enjoying a good laugh and calling their close friends or new acquaintances by their first names.
3. Discussion:
What might happen if people had no idea of other countries’ cultures?
Do you think it might result in embarrassment on inconvenience?
What do you think about “culture shock”?
4. Do you know more information about cultural differences?
In most countries, nodding your head up and down means ‘yes’.
In some parts of Greece and Turkey, however, this motion can mean ‘no’.
In South-east Asia, nodding your head is a polite way of saying ‘I’ve heard you.’
In the United Stated, when someone puts his thumb up, it means ‘Everything is all right.’ However, in Sardinia of Italy and Greece, the gesture is insulting and should not be used there.

1. Finish the two exercises on page 122 in Workbook.
2. Complete the e-mail in Part C.
● Grammar and Usage
Step 1: General introduction
The grammar items in this unit focus on unreal conditionals. Unreal conditionals are used to express a condition or situation that is not real or is imaginary. You should pay attention to the forms of the predicate verbs in different tenses when you use sentences in unreal conditionals. You are expected to use unreal conditionals and how to use unreal conditionals correctly.
Step 2: Explanation
1. Read the following sentences.
If my husband hadn’t been caught in the rain, he would not have got a fever.
Nothing would have happened to him if he had not visited his friend on Saturday
If I were you, I would not have visited the friend on Saturday.
In the above sentences, what has been said is unreal. The verb forms like these can also be
called the subjunctive. Can you find out in what cases the unreal conditionals are used? And can you say the sentences in another way, not using the unreal conditionals?
Sample answers
(1) My husband was caught in the rain, so he got a fever.
(2) He visited his friend on Saturday, so something happened to him.
(3) I am not you, so I visited the friend on Saturday.
2. Read Point 4 to see how to form unreal conditionals of the present, past of future time. Use the three structures to translate some sentences.
(1) 如果我是一个学生,我将更加努力地学习。
(2) 如果你昨天去听音乐会的话, 你将会遇到她了。
(3) 如果明天下雨的话,会议将会推迟。
Sample answers
(1) If I were a doctor, I would save her life without hesitation.
(2) If you had gone to the concert yesterday, you would have met her.
(3) If it rained tomorrow, the meeting would be put off.
3. Please read Point 3 and you will find out only should, were or had can be used in the inversion. Change the following sentences into their normal order and compare the differences between the two types of sentences.
(1) Should it rain tomorrow, we would not go outing.
(2) Had you come earlier, you would have met my sister.
(3) Were you to take the train, you would be there much sooner.
Answers
(1) If it should rain tomorrow, we would not go outing.
(2) If you had come earlier, you would have met my sister.
(3) If you were to take the train, you would be there much sooner.

动词的语气–虚拟语气
一、语气的定义和种类
l、语气:语气是动词的一种形式,它表示说话人对某一行为或事情的看法和态度。
2、语气的种类:
(1)陈述语气: 表示动作或状态是现实的、确定的或符合事实的,用于陈述句、疑问句和某些感叹句。如:We are not ready. 我们没准备好。What a fine day it is! 多好的天气啊!
(2)祈使语气: 表示说话人的建议、请求、邀请、命令等。如: Open the door, please。请打开门。
(3)虚拟语气: 表示动作或状态不是客观存在的事实,而是说话人的主观愿望、假设或推测等。如: If I were you, I should study English. 如果我是你,我就学英语了。May you succeed! 祝您成功!
二、虚拟语气在条件从句中的用法
条件句有两类,一类是真实条件句,一类是虚拟条件句。如果假设的情况是有可能发生的,就是真实条件何。在这种真实条件句中的谓语用陈述语气。如: If it doesn’t rain tomorrow, we will go to the park. 如果明天不下雨,我们就去公园。
如果假设的情况是过去或现在都不存在的,或将来不大可能发生的,则是虚拟条件句。如: If he had seen you yesterday, he would have asked you about it. 如果他昨天见到你,他会问你这件事的。(事实上他昨天没见到你,因此也未能问你这件事。)
在含有虚拟条件句的复合句中,主句和从句的谓语都要用虚拟语气。现将虚拟条件从句和主句的动词形式列表如下:
从 句 主 句
与现在事实相反 动词的过去式(be的过去式一般用were) would/ should/ could/ might + 动词原形
与过去事实相反 had + 过去分词 would/ should/ could/ might + have + 过去分词
与将来事实相反 动词过去式,should + 动词原形,were to + 动词原形 would/ should/ could/ might + 动词原形
注: 主句中的should只用于I、we,但在美国英语中,should常被would代替;从句中的should 可用于各种人称。
l. 表示与现在事实相反的假设和结果。如: If my brother were here, everything would be all right. 要是我哥哥在这儿, 一切都没问题了。
2. 表示与过去事实相反的假设和结果。如: If you had taken my advice,you wouldn’t (couldn’t) have failed in the exam. 如果你按照我的建议去做,你一定不会(不可能)考试不及格。
3. 表示与将来事实可能相反的假设和结果。如: If it were Sunday tomorrow, I should (would,could,might) go to see my grandmother. 如果明天是星期天,我就 (可能)去看望我奶奶。If it were to snow this evening, they would not go out. 如果今晚下雪,他们将不出去了。
4. 在条件句中如果出现were, had, should可省去if,将主语与这些词倒装,例如:
Had the doctor come last night, the boy would have saved.
Were I to go to the moon one day, I would see it with my own eyes.
Should it rain tomorrow, we would stay at home.

In my youth, if I could have traveled to another country, I would have, but I had to work, as our family was very poor and needed another wage. That meant I could not finish my education. Ma Li, education is very important. A good education will help you succeed. Should you get into university in the future, you would have to go and take the opportunity. This will enable you to get a good job. Had I had the chance, I would have really enjoyed it. I think I would have studied Medicine. If you should get the chance to go overseas, then you should take it. I think it is very important to try to understand as much about the world as possible and travel helps you to do that. Hopefully you might become a successful business person or a consultant some day. Were you to do that, you would certainly have our approval and we would all be very proud of you. I am an ld man now, but I still have an ambition to travel to Beijing one day. Should I get to Beijing, I would visit the Forbidden City where the emperors once lived. But I wonder, Ma Li, had I had more opportunities when I was growing up, would I have been as happy as I am now?

●Task Writing a letter to explain cultural misunderstandings
Skills building 1: completing a text
In this part, you will learn how to complete a text by listening. You are expected to learn what to do before and after listening and how to use the skills in practice.
1. Read the guidelines on page 42. Read the instructions out and make sure you understand the four tips about what you should do before you listen.
What is the first thing you need to do before listening? Why should we do this?
What should we do next?
How can we decide what the missing words probably are?
What is the fourth thing about?
2. What do you think we should do after we have finished a passage? (Proofread it to ensure that it makes sense and check whether there are any mistakes in it, include any spelling mistakes.) Remember that it is very important to review the text and make sure there are no mistakes or missing words.
Step 1: showing foreign visitors around
1. Go over the instructions to find out what you are going to do in Part A. Read the diary and try to guess what each of the missing words is by using the methods you have learnt in Skills building 1.
You can do this in pairs.
2. Listening practice: Listen to the recording and fill in the missing words. You may check your guesses at the same time.
Tapescript
Li Lin: Well, I think that was a great day. We showed the three visitors around Beijing and I think they enjoyed it. What were their names again?
Zhu Qing: Well, there was Mr Singh from India, Mr Takashi from Japan and Mr Hudson from the USA.
Li Lin: Yes, I thought it was a good day and we managed to visit quite a few places. We did have a few strange incidents though, didn’t?
Zhu Qing: Mmm, it was very odd how Mr Singh reacted when you held out your left hand. He wouldn’t shake hands with you!
Li Lin: Also, he got a bit upset in the restaurant and refused to try the black pepper beer on the menu. I thought most people liked black pepper beef. Perhaps he would have preferred beef and onions.
Zhu Qing: All the visitors I have taken to that restaurant before have really enjoyed it. Mr Takashi and Mr Hudson liked it. Mr Takashi seemed to have a really good time. He asked so many questions in the Forbidden City that I think I know the history very well now! He must have taken about a hundred photos in a day and he kept buying lots of gifts. Some were very expensive. One thing I noticed though was that he was always giving people his business card. He didn’t look very happy when I just put in my pocket. Also, it was very confusing when he kept making an okay sign. We just didn’t know what he wanted.
Li Lin: Mr Hudson thought the Summer Palace was amazing but he got a bit upset before we got on the boat. It was really a pain that he wanted to wait for the next boat as he thought the first one was too crowded. I thought there was plenty of space on it. Well, I suppose we should volunteer to show another set of visitors around next year—- at least we get to improve our English!
Answers
A: (1) three (2) strange (3) upset (4) shake hands (5) beef
(6) gifts (7) business cards (8) OK (9) crowded (10) space
3. Listen to the tape again and try to answer the following questions:
Which tourist attractions did the two students show the three foreigners around? (The Forbidden City and the Summer Palace.)
Why did the writer feel strange about Mr Singh? ( Because he looked upset when the writer
held out his left hand to shake hands with him.)
Where is Mr Singh from? ( He is from India.)
Where is Mr Takashi from? ( He’s from Japan.)
Do you think the OK sign made by Mr Takashi means ‘very good’ or ‘great’? (No.)
Why wouldn’t Mr Hudson get on the boat? (He thought it was too crowded.)
4. Read the first paragraph of Part B and find out what the word ‘taboo’ means. You can go back to the diary entry in Part A. Then read the rest of the article and circle the taboos in different cultures. Find out the reason why Mr Takashi did not look very happy when the student just put his business card in his pocket.
Answers
B: Paragraph 2
…, if you are from India, you may not eat beef because of your religion.
Paragraph 3
In India, it is impossible to shake hands or give someone something with your left hand. Japanese
people may bow and even give out their business cards to greet others and get upset if people do
not look at the cards carefully. So remember not to just put them in your pocket without looking.
5. Read the guidelines in Part C to know what you will do in this part. Listen to the recording to
get more information about cultural habits.
Tapescript
Teacher: From my experience, people from the USA often feel uncomfortable if people are in their ‘personal space’ ( about fifty centimeters around their body). But I heard that business people from Asia have a different idea about personal space and usually stand closer than some people from the USA might like. Latin Americans are the same, and like to greet their colleagues with a hug. I also noticed that in the USA, gift-giving is not part of the culture unlike in many other countries. I saw that gift-giving is very important in Japan and on a trip, Japanese people must bring back lots of gifts. There are also signs which mean different things in different countries. In the USA, an ‘OK’ sign is formed by touching the thumb to the index finger. This is a positive sign in the United Stated, but in France, the same sign means ‘zero’ or ‘worthless’ and in Japan, it is a request for small change.
Skills building 2: asking questions
1. There are many types of questions you can ask. They are as follows:
Do you know…?
Could you please tell me if/whether…?
Please tell me if/whether…
Who is…?
Please tell me his/her name.
When/Where did…?
Please tell me when/where…
How did…?
Do you know how to…?
Why did…?
Can you tell me the reason why…?
2. Read the guidelines on page 44. Make some sentences by using the correct question words.
Step 2: asking about cultural differences
1. Read the instructions to make sure you know what you are going to do. Work individually to form the eight questions in this part.
Answers
(1) What do some people from India not eat?
(2) Which hand shouldn’t be used to shake hands with or give things to people from India?
(3) What do Japanese people have to buy when they travel anywhere?
(4) What should you do when a Japanese person gives you a business card?
(5) What does the OK sign mean to Japanese people?
(6) Why do people from the USA not like crowded places?
2. Work in pairs to do the question-and-answer exercise according to what you have read in the magazine article on page 42 and what you have heard in the recording.
Answers
(1) Some people from India do not eat beef.
(2) The left hand shouldn’t be used to shake hands with or give things to people from India.
(3) When they travel anywhere, Japanese people have to buy many things.
(4) When a Japanese person gives you a business card, you should look at the card carefully.
(5) The OK sign means a request for some small change for Japanese people.
(6) People from the USA feel uncomfortable if others are in their ‘personal space’, which is about 50 centimetres around them.
Skills building 3: writing a letter of apology
In this part, you will read about how to write a letter of apology to explain misunderstandings.
1. There are differences between writing letters in Chinese and writing letters in English. In a formal English letter, you should first write your address and the date. Here is the format of a letter as an example. Sun Ting from Beijing Sunshine Secondary School wants to write a letter to her friend Tan Yi in Sunshine Town:
Beijing Sunshine
Secondary School
Sunshine Town
Beijing 100000
Date 10 June
Tan Yi
88 Sunny Street
Sunshine Town
Beijing 100000
Dear Tan Yi,
( Content of the letter)
Yours sincerely,
Sun Ting
2. If you want to make an apology, what do you usually say? (I apology for…; I want to apology for…)
What do we do if we want to write a letter of apology?
Should we give some explanations?
Step 3: explaining misunderstandings
In this part, you will use the information about taboos in different cultures in Steps 1 and 2, and use the skills you have learnt in Skills building 3 to write a letter to explain how the misunderstandings arose when you showed the three foreigners around Beijing.
1. Read the diary entry and the article in Step 1 again and then discuss in pairs what should be included in the letter. Choose one of the three visitors to write your letter of apology to.
2. Choose a recipient and write the letter of apology. Read your letter to the whole class and try to improve it.
●Project Making a reference book
Part A
1. Answer the following questions:
Every country has some or many ethnic groups. How many ethnic groups do we have in China?
Do you know any different cultures and customs between these groups? What about the ethnic groups in other countries in the world?
If you are to do some research on the cultures, traditions, customs and way of life of different minorities, which minority group will you focus on?
Do you know where you can find the information you need?
2. Scan and skim the four tours and find out in which countries these ethnic groups live. Read the travel brochure carefully and finish the table below.
Ethnic group In which country What to eat Where to live Specific events
Inuit Canada animals, birds and fish Igloos or tents have large summer gatherings
Aborigines Australia food from the bush like lizards and snakes have Aboriginal ceremonies,
play the didgeridoos and use boomerangs

3. Do Parts B1 and B2 on page in Workbook to practice using words and phrases learnt in the reading material.
Part B
1. Discuss the eight questions given in this part in groups. Decide which minority culture you want to research and what topics you want to focus on in your research and how to find the information you need. Divide the different tasks among your group members. Each group should make a reference book about an ethnic group with a different culture.
2. Present your reference book to the whole class.
3. Do Parts D1 and D2 on page 119 in Workbook.
●Self-assessment
This section aims to help you determine the progress you have made, what you have achieved and what else you can do to improve your English.
In this unit, 18 items are listed, each with a score of 5, making a total score of 90. These items cover the main study targets in this unit, such as skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing, the use of vocabulary and grammar items as well as doing activities in English. Through assessing yourselves as learners, you can evaluate how well you have achieved the goals in this unit.
The colour bar with five levels shows how confident you yourselves feel about what you have learned. In part A, some items are presented to you and you are asked to check how well you think you’ve developed these skills. Each item corresponds to something you’ve learnt in this unit. For example, by finishing Step 3 on page 45 without any difficulty, you’ll know whether you are able to write a letter of apology. You have the opportunity to evaluate your own skills and abilities in English. If you feel very confident about one item, you get a score of 5. If you feel slightly confident about another item, you get a score of 2. By adding up all the scores you get and dividing it by the total number of items, you’ll get a percentage, which shows your overall level. If you feel there are some items you are not confident about or just slightly confident about, you can think about how to improve on them. In Part B, you are asked to make an action plan, so you will know what to do and how to take some effective measures to improve your confidence.

●Section 1 A text structure analysis of Cultural difference
I. A tree diagram of the text
II. A retold version of the text
Ma Li has to do her homework on cultural differences. So she goes online to chat with others and find some information she needs.
She gets to know English and American people have unbelievable differences in culture even though they both speak English. For example, the British may be puzzled when Americans talk about Thanksgiving and the huge turkey they eat. There are different reactions in the West and the East when they get presents. Westerners like to open them as soon as they get one. Though there are similarities between wedding traditions in the west, there are also differences between different western countries. In Italy, guests expect to get presents from the newly-weds while the guests are expected to give presents to them in the UK. In Brunei, a male guest has to sit with the bridegroom and the other men and a female guest has to be with the bride and the other women in a different area. What’s more, if you go to Brunei, you should point with your thumb instead of your index finger. You shouldn’t wear yellow. Either.
So remember when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

文化差异
马莉: 嗨,大家好。我的名字叫马莉。我是个来自北京的女孩。今天我想跟大家聊-聊,尽量积累更多有关文化差异方面的知识,因为我要完成一个有关文化差异方面的家庭作业。
瓦利德: 嗨,马莉,我是来自文莱的瓦利德。这是-个非常有趣的话题。在我们文莱的这个学校里 我们总是在体验文化差异,因为我们有几位以英语为母语的英语教师。其中一位来自美国,另外两位来自英国。虽然他们说的是同-种语言(只是带有不同的口音),在文化方面却有着令人难以置信的差异。
马莉:真的吗?
瓦利德:是的,你可以从美国教师和英国教师各自的传统上发现文化差异的例子。我们的美国教师总是谈论感恩节和他们在感恩节上吃的大火鸡。每当谈到这个话题时他就格外兴奋。而英国教师就不知道对方在谈些什么,也不知道为什么要过感恩节。
马莉: 嗯,我也不知道。
瓦利德:哦,感恩节当初与从欧洲迁居美国大陆的首批移民迁居后庆祝他们的第一个丰收有关。
彼得: 嗨,瓦利德,我发现你又在开讲座了!这次是什么话题呢?
瓦利德:哦,你好,彼得。嗯,要是你在十分钟前就进入聊天室的话,你就知道我们在谈些什么了! 我只不过是在告诉马莉有关文化之间的差异。
彼得: 嗨,马莉,见到你很高兴。我来自英国。我猜想瓦利德已经告诉你关于那位英国老师在期末典礼上一收到礼物马上就打开的事情了吧?
马莉: 不,他还没有说呢,不过,我的美国朋友杰克就是这么做的。
彼得: 嗯,西方人都是这么做的。当有人送给你一份礼物时,你不打它是很不礼貌的行为。我们喜欢看到对方对礼物的反应。我们觉得,不打开礼物的做法非常奇怪!嘿,你知道吗,尽管西方的婚礼传统有很多相似之处,如抛洒五彩纸屑,但不同的西方国家往婚礼方面也还是有差别的。一旦出错可能会非常尴尬!在意大利参加婚礼和在英国参加婚礼是不-样的。在英国,客人应该给新人礼物;而在意大利,新人要给来宾礼物作为纪念,让大家记住这个重要的日子。
马莉: 所以,说得更清楚一些,如果我在英国结婚,我会得到客人的礼物;而如果我在意大利结婚,我得给客人礼物。真有趣!在中国,我们总是大办筵席来庆祝婚礼。
瓦利德:有意思!在文莱,如果男士参加一个婚礼招待会,他得和新郎以及其他男士坐在一起。新娘和其他女土得坐在不同的区域。还有-个区别是:我们在婚礼上提供食物、软饮料、茶 和咖啡,但没有白酒!而且,你很可能睡不了什么觉,因为我们连续好几个小时击鼓庆祝婚礼——有时候通宵!
彼得: 通宵?
瓦利德:是的,我们这里的人都已经习惯了。
马莉: 那么,在你们国家还有哪些事情与别的国家不一样呢,瓦利德?
瓦利德: 嗯,你知道,在很多国家人们用食指来指东西。我们觉得这样的做法是粗鲁的,所以我们用大拇指来指东西。看新来的外教努力适应这个动作的样子很是滑稽。哦,还有,如果你来到文莱,你不能穿着黄颜色的衣服。
马莉: 为什么呢?
瓦利德: 因为黄颜色是皇室的颜色,只有苏丹与其家人能够穿着黄颜色。还有一件事是,如果你来到文莱,你进别人家门之前得脱鞋!
马莉: 这和中国城市里的习俗是一样的!所以,彼得,如果你去文莱或者中国的城市,你要记得在进入别人的房子之前先脱鞋!好了,各位,我要下线了。今天的聊天真的很有趣。我想现在我对不同的文化以及什么是恰当的行为方式有了更多的了解。这确实对我的作业有帮助!我希望我们大家以后能够再次聊天。毕竟,了解文化差异是更多地了解对方的-个好办法。祝大家愉快!

● Section 2 Background information about Cultural differences
I. April Fool’s Day-History, Traditions and more
Unlike most of the other nonfoolish holidays, the history of April Fool’s Day, sometimes called All Fool’s Day, is not totally clear. There really wasn’t a “first April Fool’s Day” that can be pinpointed on the calendar. Some believe it sort of evolved simultaneously in several cultures at the same time, from celebrations involving the first day of spring.
The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France. Prior to that year, the new year was celebrated for eight days, beginning on March 25. The celebration culminated on April 1. With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX, the Gregorian Calendar was introduced, and New Year’s Day was moved to January 1.
However, communications being what they were in the days when news traveled by foot, many people did not receive the news for several years. Others, the more obstinate crowd, refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1. These backward folk were labeled as “fools” by the general populace. They were subject to some ridicule, and were often sent on “fools errands” or were made the butt of other practical jokes.
This harassment evolved, over time, into a tradition of prank-playing on the first day of April. The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the English and French. April Fool’s Day thus developed into an international fun festival, so to speak, with different nationalities specializing in their own brand of humor at the expense of their friends and families.
Mexico’s counterpart of April Fool’s Day is actually observed on December 28. Originally, the day was a sad remembrance of the slaughter of the innocent children by King Herod. It eventually evolved into a lighter commemoration involving pranks and trickery.
Pranks performed on April Fool’s Day range from the simple, (such as saying, “Your shoe’s untied!), to the elaborate. Setting a roommate’s alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, ”April Fool!“
Practical jokes are a common practice on April Fool’s Day. Sometimes, elaborate practical jokes are played on friends or relatives that last the entire day. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fool’s Day was a fairly detailed documentary about ”spaghetti farmers“ and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees.
April Fool’s Day is a ”for-fun-only“ observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their ”significant other“ out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It’s simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!
II. 文化震撼与调适
「文化震撼」(Culture Shock)主要是来自于两个不同文化差异而引起。可以发生在任何时候,任何新环境。很多时候,「文化震撼」会引起身体上的一些症状:如头痛、胃囗不好、睡眠失调或者心理上的焦虑、沮丧。
几乎每一个留学生都经验过文化震撼, 其实文化震撼并不是指突发一次即结束的 ”shock“ 的感觉,而是在一段时间内,密集式的有强有弱的震惊,仓惶和被冲击到的感觉。过去的文化背景和新文化差异愈大时,震撼的感觉会愈强且愈密集。文化震撼到结束,其实就是一个适应新文化的过程。对留学生来说,它通常有四个阶段:
1.抵美初期:这时候最急着学习、认识新环境、找寻住所、安排生活、选课和练习英文。整个
人充满热情和自信,急着安顿下来,同时又想赶快尝试许多事情。
2.蜜月期:你开始慢慢习惯新的环境时,适应的「蜜月期」就开始了。在这阶段,常常会觉得美国好多地方都「好好!」
3.震撼期:随着你更深入的接触美国文化,蜜月期就快结束了,而震撼期接着开始。这个阶段最主要的特色就是困惑和不舒服(包括生理和心理)。这时特别要注意身体健康,保持均衡饮食和适度运动。你必须试着调整自己,度过文化震撼。以下建议或许有些帮助:(1)保持你自己的观点;(2)重新评估你的期望;(3)敞开胸怀并培养敏锐的观察力(4)不要退缩:埋在书堆不是最好解决问题的方法,你必须去接触人、接触生活;(5)加强英文;(6)学会感谢;(7)找寻帮助。
4.恢复期
III 一般及社交礼仪
入境就要随俗,了解一些一般的美式生活礼仪是必要的,免得在各种场合里,做出不合宜的举动,使自己或对方尴尬。
1.一般礼仪:
一般而言,美国人在日常生活起居是大而化之,不讲俗套;和陌生人打打招呼,不见得便是想和你做友;一场愉快的交谈,不见得会变成知心莫逆,只有主动接触,以愉快的心情应对。以下是一些一般礼仪提供参考:
(1)常面带微笑,碰到认识的朋友时,主动的问候对方,别人问候你,也要反问候对方,表示关心。
(2)说话时语气诚恳、态度大方,当别人问候你时,回答尽量简洁。
(3)多赞美对方。
(4)到别人家作客时,有机会就要「赞不绝囗」。
(5)要注意自己的仪容整洁。
(6)别忘了说「Excuse me」,「Please」和「Thank You」。
2.社交礼仪:
(1)时间观念:约会应准时,如赴宴则最好迟到几分钟;如果早主人先到,反而失礼。若有紧急状况无法准时赴约,必须电话通知和解释,绝不可无疾而终,随意放人空等。
(2)赴宴:美国人会常说「随时来找我」,有些邀约是相当诚恳的,但拜访前仍应事先电话连系,确定时间,以免自己的「随时」而造成别人的不便。
(3)餐桌礼节:
a.餐巾用来拭嘴,切忌用来擦手或餐具。
b.注意使用刀叉顺序,以及叉匙性质。
c.刀叉斜放盘缘,表示尚在用餐之中;若完全放在盘中,则表示已使用完毕。
d.盐、胡椒瓶倘离座远,不可伸手去取,而须请隔座代劳递送。
e.上甜点或咖啡时,主人可开始致词,主宾亦可利用此时答谢。
(4)行路乘车:
行路一般以右为尊,女士同行,男士应走左边,出入应为女士推门。搭车时,车主驾车,前座为尊,馀则以后座右侧为尊。自己开车时须先为客人开车门,等坐定后始上车启动。
IV美国重要节日
节日通常有其特殊的文化背景,节日的仪式也有其特殊的意义。一年中,美国人按照传统习惯要欢度许多节日,庆祝方式各不相同。根据时间先后,主要节日有:
1.新年(New Year’s Day):
一月一日美国人过新年,但最热闹的是除夕晚上。
2.情人节(St. Valentine’s Day):
二月十四日,是情侣们交换礼物,表示爱意的欢乐节日。
3.圣派克节(St. Patrick’s Day):
三月十七日,纪念爱尔兰(Ireland)守护神圣派克。
4.复活节(Easter):
复活节是基督教纪念耶稣复活的一个宗教节日。每年春分过去,第一次月圆后的第一个星期日就是复活节。如果月圆那天正好是星期日,复活节将延迟一周举行。彩蛋和兔子是复活节的象徵。复活节的传统食品主要有羊肉和火腿。

VI. Valentine’s Day
St. Valentine’s Day has roots in several different legends that have found their way to us through the ages. One of the earliest popular symbols of the day is Cupid(爱神丘比特), the Roman god of love, who is represented by the image of a young boy with bow and arrow.
February 14 was also a Roman holiday, held in honor of a goddess. Young men randomly chose the name of a young girl to escort to the festivities. The custom of choosing a sweetheart on this date spread through Europe in the Middle Ages, and then to the early American colonies. Throughout the ages, people also believed that birds picked their mates on February 14!
Whatever the odd mixture of origins, St. Valentine’s Day is now a day for sweethearts. It is the day that you show your friend or loved one that you care. You can send candy to someone you think is special. Or you can send roses, the flower of love.
Americans of all ages love to send and receive valentines.
For teenagers and adults, major newspapers throughout the country have a Valentine’s Day offer. Anyone can send in a message, for a small fee of course, destined for a would-be sweetheart, a good friend, an acquaintance or even a spouse of fifty years. The message is printed in a special section of the newspaper on February 14.

● Welcome to the Unit
Step 1: Brainstorming
As we all known, we human beings are often stricken by natural disasters. Can you name some of them?
flood, fire, volcano, earthquake, typhoon, hurricane, tsunami, desertification, sandstorm
tornado, drought…
Do they have anything in common? What’s it?
They share one common feature, that is, they cause a great deal of damage to buildings and hurt lots of people.
Would you ask for help if you were involved in a natural disaster? Which organization or person would you turn to for help?
firemen, policemen, PLA men, doctors, governments, Red Cross, hospitals, first-aid station…
Step 2: Sharing information
1. Let’s watch a series of news first. What can we learn from the news?
The whole world is a large family. We make every effort to help the people in trouble, no matter who they’re.
To help the people in trouble more efficiently, more and more international organizations are set up. They help many people around the world to have better lives, especially when things go wrong. What organizations do you know of that can help with the people in trouble?
For reference
美国慈善国际组织(Mercy Corps)
英国全球伙伴组织(Global Partner)
爱尔兰关怀组织(Ireland’s Concern)
法国“泪水”基金会(French Tear Fund)
亚洲医生联合协会(AMDA)
世界宣明会(World Vision)
…
For reference
Actually, there are many governmental organizations and non-governmental organizations that aim at improving the harsh situations. The International Committee of the Red Cross is dedicated to providing humanitarian aids in different areas around the world. Doctors Without Borders or Medecins Sans Frontieres ( MSF) is an independent international medical relief organization that aids victims of armed conflicts, epidemics and natural and man-made disasters, and others who lack health care due to social or geographical isolation, There are also some other organizations in the world which serve the purpose of offering help to those in need.
2. Look at the six pictures at page 49, these pictures present situations where people need international aid. Let’s have a discussion about them.
Picture 1
Can you guess from the caption what the main tasks of peacekeeping soldiers are?
To keep the peace in the countries or areas where there have been wars or conflicts.
Do you think these soldiers play an important role in maintaining the world peace?
Do you think this kind of job is very demanding, challenging and risky? Why or why not?
When you grow up, would you like to do this kind of job if you had the chance? Why or why not?
Picture 2
What can you see in the picture?
It is a picture of African children living in a poverty-stricken area. They suffer from malnutrition and hunger because of lack of food..
Can you imagine what will happen to these hungry children if nobody helps?
Some of them may die of hunger.
How do you feel when you see this picture?
How can we help them?
Picture 3
What can you see in the picture?
A flooded area.
Suppose your home was struck by a flood, what would your life be like? Would you still live a normal life as before?
No. For example, the roads would be blocked by the broken trees; the means of communication and traffic-roads and railway would be cut off.
Picture 4
What can you see in the picture?
Water is being pumped into the fields.
What factors can ensure a good harvest?
Proper methods of farming, fertile soil, sufficient volume of rainfall, enough sunlight, advanced technology, etc.
What would happen if there was not enough water for farming?
Farmers would be very worried about their crops if there was a drought, as a drought sometimes can cause a famine.
Picture 5
What is the doctor in the picture doing?
Working to help people in poor countries.
Why do you think that doctors and nurses need to go to poor areas or countries to help?
People in poor areas don’t have money to go to hospital if they are ill. In addition, hospitals in these areas cannot provide the doctors and nurses with enough training or equipment.
Picture 6
Apart from the problems listed above, people in poverty are still facing many other difficulties. Can you name some of them?
Do you think children can receive good education and good medical care in poor areas?
Can their daily necessities be guaranteed? If not, what will happen?
For reference
International aid aims to help people, especially those in the poverty-stricken areas in some developing countries, to improve their living standards and better their lives.
Besides, it offers timely and appropriate medical help and provides sufficient educational opportunities for the children. For more information, you can visit the following website: http: //www.gospelcom.net / ia /
Step 3: Discussion
Have you ever helped people in need? What did you do to help them?
Yes, I have. I remember when I was in primary school, the teacher asked us to donate our pocket money to Project Hope. I gave all my pocket money that I saved a long time. Though it was not much, I still wanted to do something to show that I cared. I also had a pen friend from a rural area in northern China when I was in junior high school. Apart from exchanging information about our lives with her, I occasionally mailed her some of my spare books and stationery. During the Spring Festival, I also shared my red packets with her.

1. First, I’d like to ask you some questions to see whether you’ve got some information about the UN?
Which organizations did you find are connected to the UN?
Please choose one organization and tell us when it was set up. What does the organization mainly focus on?
What do you think of its role in the UN or in the world?

Origin of World Refugee Day
For years, many countries and regions have been holding their own Refugee Days and even Weeks. One of the most widespread is Africa Refugee Day, which is celebrated on 20 June in several countries.
As an expression of solidarity with Africa, which hosts the most refugees, and which traditionally has shown them great generosity, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 55/76 on 4 December . In this resolution, the General Assembly noted that 2001 marked the 50th anniversary of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, and that the Organization of African Unity (OAU) had agreed to have International Refugee Day coincide with Africa Refugee Day on 20 June. The Assembly therefore decided that, from 2001, 20 June would be celebrated as World Refugee Day.
Step 4: Homework
Read the transcript in Part B on page 129 in Workbook.
● Grammar and Usage
Step 1: General introduction
This section teaches four other cases that need to use unreal conditionals. You’ll learn the forms of mixed unreal conditionals, words that can replace if-clauses in implied conditionals and the usage of wish or would rather in unreal conditionals.
Step 2: Revision
As we learned in the last unit, when a sentence is talking about something that is not real or currently impossible, the verb will be used in a special form that expresses a wish, possibility, condition, etc.
Here’re some exercises for you. Choose the best answers:
1. Had you listened to the doctor, you _____ all right now.
A. are B. were C. would be D. would have been
2. _____ any change about the date, please tell me immediately.
A. Will there be B. Should there be C. There will be D. There should be
3. _____ today, he would get there by Friday.
A. Would he leave B. Was he leaving
C. Were he to leave D. If he leave
4. Should it rain, the crops _____ .
A. would be saved B. would have been saved
C. will be saved D. had been saved
5. You _____ come earlier. The bus left a moment ago.
A. would B. should have C. may D. have
6. What should we do if it _____ tomorrow?
A. should snow B. would snow C. snow D. will snow
7. You _____ such a serious mistake if you had followed his advice.
A. may not make B. might not make
C. shouldn’t have made D. might not have made
8. If it were not for the fact that you _____ ill, I would ask you to do this right now.
A. were B. had been C. are D. should be
Keys 1-5 CBCAB 6-8 ADC
Step 3: Explanation and practice
1. We should first pay attention to the forms of the predicate verbs in different tenses when we use sentences in unreal conditional. Let’s remember how to form unreal conditionals of the present, past or future time.
tense If– clause main clause
present did(were) would/ should/ could/ might do
past had done would/ should/ could/ might have done
future did,should do,were to do would/ should/ could/ might do
2. We use mixed conditionals when the main clause and the if-clause are about different tenses.
e.g. 1) If you had come and attended the meeting yesterday, you would know what we are doing now.
2) If you had followed my advice, you would not be in trouble now.
Now, complete Part A. Pay attention to the different tenses in the if-clause and the main clause.
Answers
A (1) had not studied (2) would not be
(3) had studied (4) would have
(5) knew (6) would be
(7) could help (8) would not be
3. Read Point 2. Sometimes we can use otherwise, or and phrases beginning with with, without and but for to replaces a if-clause in implied conditionals. Pay attention to the verb form in the main clauses.
4. In adverbial clauses introduced by even if, as if, as though and if only we can use unreal conditionals.
In object clauses after wish or would rather the subjunctive verb forms are often used because the speaker thinks what is said in the clause is currently not true or possible, or will not happen. You should know different subjunctive verb forms are used in the object clause according to the time that the event happened or will happen.
e.g. 1) I wish you had met him yesterday.
2) Without your help , we couldn’t have made such progress in my study in the past few years .
3) If only you hadn’t told him what I said! Everything would have been all right.
4) Without electronic computers, much of today’s advanced technology couldn’t have been achieved.
5. Read the dialogue in Part B and fill in each blank with a proper word or phrase according to the meaning of the sentence.
Answers
B
(1) Without (2) otherwise/or (3) otherwise/or (4) wish (5)With
(6) Without (7) even if (8)without (9) If only (10) as if

动词的语气–虚拟语气
一、语气的定义和种类
l、语气:语气是动词的一种形式,它表示说话人对某一行为或事情的看法和态度。
2、语气的种类:
(1)陈述语气: 表示动作或状态是现实的、确定的或符合事实的,用于陈述句、疑问句和某些感叹句。如:We are not ready. 我们没准备好。What a fine day it is!多好的天气啊!
(2)祈使语气: 表示说话人的建议、请求、邀请、命令等。如: Open the door, please。请打开门。
(3)虚拟语气: 表示动作或状态不是客观存在的事实,而是说话人的主观愿望、假设或推测等。如: If I were you, I should study English. 如果我是你,我就学英语了。May you succeed! 祝您成功!
二、虚拟语气在条件从句中的用法
条件句有两类,一类是真实条件句,一类是虚拟条件句。如果假设的情况是有可能发生的,就是真实条件何。在这种真实条件句中的谓语用陈述语气。如: If it doesn’t rain tomorrow, we will go to the park. 如果明天不下雨,我们就去公园。
如果假设的情况是过去或现在都不存在的,或将来不大可能发生的,则是虚拟条件句。如: If he had seen you yesterday, he would have asked you about it. 如果他昨天见到你,他会问你这件事的。(事实上他昨天没见到你,因此也未能问你这件事。)
在含有虚拟条件句的复合句中,主句和从句的谓语都要用虚拟语气。现将虚拟条件从句和主句的动词形式列表如下:
从 句 主 句
与现在事实相反 动词的过去式(be的过去式一般用were) would/ should/ could/ might + 动词原形
与过去事实相反 had + 过去分词 would/ should/ could/ might + have + 过去分词
与将来事实相反 动词过去式,should + 动词原形,were to + 动词原形 would/ should/ could/ might + 动词原形
注: 主句中的should只用于I、we,但在美国英语中,should常被would代替;从句中的should 可用于各种人称。
l、表示与现在事实相反的假设和结果。如: If my brother were here, everything would be all right. 要是我哥哥在这儿 ,一切都没问题了。
2、表示与过去事实相反的假设和结果。如: If you had taken my advice,you wouldn’t (couldn’t) have failed in the exam. 如果你按照我的建议去做,你一定不会(不可能)考试不及格。
3、表示与将来事实可能相反的假设和结果。如: If it were Sunday tomorrow, I should (would,could,might) go to see my grandmother. 如果明天是星期天,我就 (可能)去看望我奶奶。If it were to snow this evening, they would not go out. 如果今晚下雪,他们将不出去了。
4、有时条件从句中的动作和主句中的动作发生的时间不一致(表示错综时间的虚拟语气),这时动词的形式要根据它所表示的时间加以调整。例如: If you had listened to the doctor, you would be all right now. 如果你当初听了医生的话,身体现在就好了。(从句动作指过去,主句动作指现在)
5、虚拟条件句可以转换成下列形式:
(l)省略连词if。在书面语中,如果虚拟条件从句中有were,had 或 should,可以把if省略,把这几个词放到主语之前,构成主谓倒装。例如: Should he come (If he should come), tell him to ring me up. 他要是来了,让他给我打个电话。Were I you (If I were you), I would not do it. 我要是你,就不做这事。
(2)用介词短语代替条件状语从句。如: Without air (If there were not air), there would be no living things. 如果没有空气的话,就不会有生物了。But for your help (If it hadn’t been for your help) I couldn’t have done it. 要是没有你的帮助,我就不可能完成这件事。 I was busy that day. Otherwise I would have gone there with them. (If I hadn’t been busy that day, I would have gone there with them.) 我那天很忙,否则,我就和他们一起去那儿了。(如果我那天不忙的话,我就……);I would have finished the work, but I have been ill. (If I hadn’t been ill, I would have finished the work.) 我本来该完成这项工作的,但我生病了。(如果我没生病的话,我就会完成……)
6、省去条件从句或主句:表示虚拟语气的主句或从句有时可以省略,但其含义仍可以推知。
(1)省去条件从句。如: You could have washed your clothes yourself. 你本可以自已洗衣服的。省去了”If you had wanted to“)(事实是:你自己没洗衣服,因为你不想洗。)
(2)省去主句(常用以表示愿望)。如: If my grandmother were with me! 如果我的祖母与我在一起多好啊!(事实是:祖母已不在世。);If only she had not left! 如果她没走就好了!(事实是:她已经走了。)
三、虚拟语气的其他用法
l、虚拟语气在主语从句中的用法:在”It is important (strange,natural,necessary)that…“这类句型里,that所引导的主语从句中的谓语动词常用 “should十动词原形”结构,表示某事是”重要“、”奇怪“、”自然“、”必要“等意义。如: It is important that every member (should) inform himself of these rules. 重要的是每个成员知道这些规则。
2、虚拟语气在宾语从句中用法:
(1)在动词wish后的宾语从句中,表示与现在或过去的事实相反,或对将来的主观愿望,从句通常省略连词that。1)表示对现在情况的虚拟:从句动词用过去式或过去进行式(be动词一般用were)。如: I wish I knew the answer to the question. 我希望知道这个问题的答案。(可惜不知道);2)表示对过去情况的虚拟:从句动词常用”had十过去分词“。如: I wish (wished) I hadn’t spent so much money. 我后悔不该花那么多钱。(实际上已经花掉);3)表示对将来的主观愿望:谓语动词形式为”would十动词原形“。如: I wish it would stop raining. 但愿雨能停止;I wish you would come soon. 但愿你立刻来。
(2)在suggest,demand,order,propose,insist,command,request,desire等动词后的宾语从句中,谓语动词用“should + 动词原形”,表示建议、要求、命令等。如: I demand that he (should) answer me immediately. 我要求他立刻答复我。
3、虚拟语气在状语从句中的用法
(1)在带有even if/ even though引导的让步状语从句的主从复合句中,主句和从句都用虚拟语气,动词形式与含有非真实条件句的虚拟语气相同。如: Even if he had been ill, he would have gone t his office. 即使生了病,他俩去办公室。
(2)由as if或as though引导的状语从句表示比较或方式时。从句谓语形式为动词的过去式(be用were)或 “had十过去分词”。如: He treated me as if I were a stranger. 他那样对待我,好像我是陌生人似的。She talked about the film as if she had really seen it. 她谈论那部影片,就好像她确实看过一样。
注:如果表示的事情可能会发生,那么方式状语从句中的谓语动词可用陈述语气。
4、虚拟语气在定语从句中的用法:在”It is time (that) …“句型中,定语从句的谓语动词常用虚拟语气表示将来,动词形式一般用过去式,意思是”该干某事的时候了“。如: It’s (high) time we did our homework. 我们该做作业了。
5、虚拟语气在简单句中的用法
(1)情态动词的过去式用于现在时态时,表示说话人的谦虚、客气、有礼貌,或委婉的语气,常见于日常会话中。如: It would be better for you not to stay up too late. 你最好别太晚睡觉。
(2)在一些习惯表达中。如: I would rather not tell you. 我宁愿不告诉你。
(3)用“may + 动词原形”表示”祝愿“、”但愿”,此时may须置于句首(多用于正式文体中)。如:May you be happy!祝你快乐!May good luck be yours.祝你顺利。

●Task Helping poor children
Skills building 1: listening for specifics
In this part, you will learn how to listen for problems and the causes of the problems. We always have something specific to listen for when we listen to something. We should try to seize the key phrases or sentences that are relevant.
First let’s have a discussion about the following questions:
If we want to know what the problem is when we are listening to a news report, what phrases or sentences should we pay special attention to?
(The problem is that…/As you can see…/The result is …/This means …)
If we want to know what has caused the problem when we are listening to a news report, what should we pay special attention to?
(This is because…/This problem has been caused by…/Unfortunately, …/…as…)
Step 1: finding out about problems
1. Now read the guidelines in Part A on page 58 to find out what you’ll listen for and what you are asked to do in this part. Go over the table in Part A. Then listen to the tape, trying to complete the table.
Tapescript
Reporter: Here I am in northern Thailand. As you can see, the families living here are living in very poor conditions. There is no running water and no electricity in this village. Water has to be collected from the river 10 minutes’ walk away. This may seem near but when you need water for many things, walking 10 minutes is a long time. The water then needs to be boiled before it can be used. The result of not boiling the water is illness. As you can see, the villagers’ houses are built of wood and are not very strong. This is because they have no money and cannot get hold of any materials. The people have very few things like clothes or furniture because they have no money and they are a long way from the nearest town. There is a bus but you have to walk six kilometers to get to the nearest road.
As I said earlier, there is no electricity in this village, so when it is dark, the only light comes from the small fires that the family cooks over. Unfortunately, much of the forest around the village has been cut down for firewood and so the villagers have to walk further and further away from the village to get wood. This also means that water may not be boiled for long enough as there is very little wood. This is going to be a big problem in the future.
Answers
A (1) no running water (3) no money (4) few clothes or furniture
(5) no electricity (6) forest has been cut down
2. Listen to the second part of the report and finish the table in Part B on P59.
Now listen to the lecture for a second time, and finish Part A & Part B on P33.
Tapescript
Reporter: Over there you can see the school. As the village is poor, the school has no roof. There are no chairs either, so the children have to sit on the floor. When it rains, school is stopped. Many children, especially the girls, do not go to school because they have to stay at home and help their parents or grandparents with the farming of their small pieces of land. All the farming is done by hand as the villagers have no money for equipment. It is difficult to raise animals because of the small amount of land and water available. Because of this and the lack of fresh water, many of the children have poor diets. A common problem is that they de not eat enough meat to get the amount of protein that they need. As a result, they do not grow properly and cannot concentrate on learning. Another problem is that many of the children’s parents have died because of AIDS. This means that the grandparents have to bring up the children. That is very difficult because they are already old and poor.
Answers
B
(1) poverty
(2) many children, especially girls, do not go to school
(4) all farming is done by hand
(5) small amount of land and water available
(6) children have poor diets
(7) children do not grow properly
(8) many of the children’s parents have died of AIDS
(9) grandparents have to bring up children

Skills building 2: discussing in groups
In this unit, you will review the sentence structures used to make suggestions, ask for opinions, express agreement or disagreement and make conclusions.
1. In a discussion, people usually give suggestions. There are some sentences or sentence structures used particularly for this purpose. What sentences do you know are often used to make suggestions? Remember you should be polite or not too blunt when giving suggestions. Please make some sentences using the structures given on P60.
For reference
I think it would be a good idea to post our proposal on the Internet.
We could help by giving out leaflets to ask people to donate money.
I would like to suggest that we organize a charity show.
It would be a good idea if we sell old books to raise money
2. In a discussion, we also need to know opinions from others, and we often use questions to ask for other people’s opinions. Now please make some sentences to ask others for their opinions.
3. Now, use the skills we have learned in part A to skim and scan for specific information from the newspaper article in Part B and answer the four questions.
4. There are many ways to express personal opinions about a suggestion. Let’s learn how to express disagreement in a polite way. Please make some sentences to express agreement or disagreement using the sentence structures given in point 3 on P60.
For reference
I agree to organize a charity show because more people will come and help.
That’s a great idea, but who will star in the show, who will be the host, and where we will hold the show are all problems we must think about.
I’m sorry but I don’t think that will work because we will need lots of money for the show.
5. At the end of the discussion, the group members should make conclusions and work out a solution. Please make some sentences to give conclusion or solution using the sentence structures given in point 4 on P60.
For reference
So to summarize, our group has decided to organize a charity show.
In conclusion, we have decided to organize a charity show.
Step 2: making suggestions
Now, let’s use the speaking skills we just learned. Let’s have a discussion: What can we do to help the poor children in northern Thailand?
Sample answers
S1: All of us have listened to the news report and read the article about the poor children in northern Thailand. I feel really sorry for them. What do you think we can do to help them?
Does anyone have any suggestions? I’ll write down your ideas.
S2: I think we could help by raising some money for them. I’d like to donate my pocket money.
S3: That’s a good idea. I suggest that we make a poster telling the students in our school about what kind of life these children have. We can ask all the students to donate some of their pocket money.
S4: OK, that sounds like a good idea. I would like to donate some books.
S2: I’m sorry but I don’t think that would work. They won’t be able to read the books because they don’t understand Chinese. Maybe we can give them some English books. Does anyone have any other ideas?
S3: I think we can sell the old Chinese books to get some more money.
S4: Good idea. I would like to suggest giving them some clothes. I have many old clothes that I no longer wear. I think I could give them to the children there.
S2: I agree, but how can we send these books and clothes to them?
S3: We can go to a shipping company and ask if they can help to ship these things there.
S1: OK, so we’ve decided to raise as much money as we can and donate English books and clothes to children. We can also write a letter to them and tell them we want to help them.
Skills building 3: writing a proposal
When we want to give some suggestion, we sometimes need to write a proposal. In this unit, we’ll learn the structure of a proposal and what should be included in a proposal.
Read the six points in this part and try to find out which is the most important point in a proposal.
Step 3: composing a proposal
In this part, you’re required to write a proposal to UNICEF about how to help the hill tribe children in northern Thailand with information that you have learnt in Steps 1and 2.
1. Work in pairs and have a discussion: What should you write on the proposal to UNICEF? What title will you give to your proposal?
2. Now, work in groups of four to write the proposal.
3. Now, let’s share you proposals.
Possible example
Title: Helping the hill tribe children in northern Thailand
Group members: (Students’ own names)
Introduction: We have been researching the problems faced by the children in northern Thailand. There are many villages in northern Thailand where children do not have books. Their classrooms have no roofs. Many girls cannot go to school. Our group would like to help them.
Proposal:
We would like to help the children by:
donating the money collected from the students and teachers in our school
donating English books collected from the students in our school
donating clothes collected from the students in our school
writing a letter to them to tell them that we want to do what we can to help them
Benefits:
Helping the hill tribe children in northern Thailand to go to school and live a better life

●Project Making an action plan
Reading
1.At the beginning of this class, let’s watch a video. From it, we know that when a nation is in trouble, the people all over the world will give a hand. And we also know that when a destructive disaster happens, medical aid is especially important to the injured people.
Today we’ll read a diary entry of a nurse who works for an international organization that provides medical service around the world. After that, I’m sure you’ll have a better understanding about what can be done to help poor people in poor areas.
2. Pair work: Have a discussion about the following questions:
Have you ever heard of an organization called MSF?
What does MSF stand for?
What does it mean in English?
Who do you think the members of MSF are?
What do you think the members of MSF do?
For reference
About MSF:
The MSF role in emergency medical aid
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international humanitarian aid organization that provides emergency medical assistance to populations in danger in more than 70 countries.
In countries where health structures are insufficient or even non-existent, MSF collaborates with authorities such as the Ministry of Health to provide assistance. MSF works in rehabilitation of hospitals and dispensaries, vaccination programmes and water and sanitation projects. MSF also works in remote health care centres, slum areas and provides training of local personnel. All this is done with the objective of rebuilding health structures to acceptable levels.
Raising Awareness
In carrying out humanitarian assistance, MSF seeks also to raise awareness of crisis situations; MSF acts as a witness and will speak out, either in private or in public about the plight of populations in danger for whom MSF works. In doing so, MSF sets out to alleviate human suffering, to protect life and health and to restore and ensure respect for the human beings and their fundamental human rights.
Only a small percentage of the populations that find themselves in a situation of danger gain the attention of the media. MSF teams travel to places that many people have never heard of, to assist those who have fallen victim to natural or man-made disasters. MSF volunteers have a story to tell when they return from their missions, and they use their experiences to speak of what they have seen. For MSF, raising awareness for these populations and the situations they are in is an important task. Whenever possible, MSF volunteers give interviews and make presentations. MSF offices worldwide facilitate the organization of gatherings, for individuals and groups who want to speak in their home communities. MSF also mounts exhibitions and, from time to time, releases publications, with the aim of raising awareness.
It is part of MSF’s work to address any violations of basic human rights encountered by field teams, violations perpetrated or sustained by political actors. It does so by confronting the responsible actors themselves, by putting pressure on them through mobilization of the international community and by issuing information publicly. In order to prevent compromise or manipulation of MSF’s relief activities, MSF maintains neutrality and independence from individual governments. The organization also tries to ensure that the majority of funds raised for its work comes directly from contributions from the general public. In this way, MSF guarantees equal access to its humanitarian assistance.
MSF has been setting up emergency medical aid missions around the world since 1971.

6. Homework:
Parts D1 and D2 on P127 in Workbook.
●Self-assessment
This section aims to help you assess the progress you have made, how much you have achieved, and also what else you can do to improve your understanding. The colour bar with five levels rates how confident you feel about what you have learnt in this unit.
In part A, some items are presented to you and you are asked to check how well you think you have developed these skills. Each item corresponds to one or more parts in this unit. For example, after finishing Part B on page 57, you will know whether you are able to use certain words or phrases to introduce unreal conditionals correctly. You have the opportunity to evaluate your own skills and abilities in English. If you feel very confident about another item, you get a score of 2. After going over all the items in this part, you need to add all the scores up and divide the total amount by the total sum. Thus, you will get a percentage, which shows your level.
In this unit, 15 items are listed with each one scoring 5. The total score is 75 points. These items cover the main study targets in this unit, including listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, the usage of vocabulary and grammar items, as well as doing activities in English. Through assessing themselves as learners, you will realize whether you have achieved the goals for this unit.
If you feel there are some areas in which you are not confident or just slightly confident about, you can think about how to improve on them. In Part B, you are asked to make an action plan, so you will know what to do and take some effective measures. You can also have a better understanding of your students, enabling yourself to guide them and help them study English more effectively.

联合国–让每个人靠得更近
我很高兴今天有机会跟大家谈谈联合国,也叫UN——这个名称在英语里更为常用。联合国是一个国际组织,由所有愿意促进和平的国家组成,我很高兴入选联合国的-名亲善大使。作为一名亲 善大使意味着我要前往联合国实施扶助项目的国家。能够担当这一角色,我感到非常荣幸。我会在后面跟大家谈谈我所做的一些工作,但首先我想跟大家简单介绍一下联合国的情况。那么联合国是什么时候成立的呢?联合国实际上是第二次世界大战之后于1945年10月由51个国家联合组建的。今 天,世界上几乎每一个国家都是联合国的成员——共有191个国家。联合国建立在《联合国宪案》基础之上。该宪章确立了联合国的四大宗旨,即:维护国际和平;发展各国之间的友好关系;进行国际合作,以解决国际间的各种问题,增进对于全体人类之人权的尊重;构成一个协调各国行动或工 作的中心。
如你所知,联合国触及世界各地每个人的生活。该组织参与维和行动,协助终止世界上一些最恐怖的冲突。观看对战争地区的任何电视报道,你就会看到头戴蓝色贝雷帽的士兵。联合国并不拥有自己的军队,而是向不同的成员国借用土兵。在这些军队和其他可敬的组织的协助下,联合国为战争及灾难的受害者提供援助。此外,联合国还协助保护人权,致力改进各种国际法律,如有关童工的法律等。
以上是对联合国的简单介绍。现在我要跟大家谈谈我所做的跟联合国有关的工作。我参与联合国的工作是无偿的,是志愿工作。正如我刚才所说的,我主要访问联合国实施扶助项目的国家。那么,我如何通过访问这些国家来达到帮助的目的呢?是这样的,如果我访问这些国家,电视和报刊等媒体就跟随我,并记录我的行程。这会提升人们对联合国工作的意识。此外,我的访问还会鼓励那些致力于联合国各种项目的人,吸引当地人民对相关情形的注意力。
到目前为止我访问了非洲的许多国家。最近,我非常幸运,去了一次南非,在那里我会见了一些结组自救的妇女。她们每天从每个小组成员那里收取1兰特(大约相当于人民币1.35元),将这些钱和政府资助给她们的一笔钱加在一起。这样,妇女们就凑够了钱去购买做篮子的编织材料。之后,她们就将编织好的篮子拿到市场上销售。运气好的话,她们的小组还能够进一步扩大,或许还能开-个店铺。这个自救小组是由联合国妇女发展基金成立的,在联合国的管理体系中还有很多此类的项目和基金,它们已经为全世界数以百万计的人们提供了帮助。
除了由于战争和冲突所引起的各种紧急问题外,联合国还帮助解决其成员国的其他问题,如教育匮乏、食品不足、贫穷、灾难和疾病等。在召开的–次联合国会议上,所有的191个成员国 都同意,到争取实现八个发展目标。这八个目标其中之-就是保证每个人都能够享受到新鲜 的饮用水。另外-个发展目标就是保证所有的孩子都能够完成小学教育。如果大家想知道这方面更多的信息,可以浏览联合国的相关网页。现在,你们已了解到,由于联合国的工作,全世界的人靠得更近了。

改变世界–我的义务
10月20日
到达这里后发现一切都是乱糟糟的。已经整整一周时间抽不出空闲写日记了。整个岛屿都遭遇 了洪水的侵袭,许多人为躲避洪水都逃到山上。医院严重被毁,已是一片狼籍,完全无法使用了。这-切对我来说是一个全然不同的体验。通常情况下,我都是在那些缺水的地区工作,如肯尼亚和苏丹,那些地方的主要问题是饥荒。在苏丹,我们设立馈给站,确保人们能够得到食物;我们还检查婴儿的健康状况,确保婴儿的体重在增加。我们还做一个接种宣传活动,不再让儿童死干麻疹。遗憾的是,这个活动是在远离城市的乡村进行的,那儿战乱频繁。躲避枪林弹雨、展转奔波已经成了家常便饭。因此,这里的情形就完全不一样了,所存在的问题也不一样。我们非常担心,诸如疟疾和伤寒等由水传播的疾病会爆发。这里没有沙尘飞扬,我们看到的是一片汪洋。到处都是泥浆和水,让此地到彼地的行程变得很困难。
昨天,医疗队里我的同事和我(两名医生,作为护土的我,还有两名助手)在城市的北面发现了一个空旷的医疗中心。我们准备在那里设立一个临时诊所,来自海外的医疗设备和药品正在运输途中。我们已经开始清理这个医疗中心。影响到健康的问题之-是,那些需要定期服药的病人遇到这样的洪灾后很难得到药品,比如,那些患有心脏病或者糖尿病的人就是这样。轻微伤口也需要予 以处治,特别是在这样潮湿的情况下。大多数病人的伤口是由于墙壁和屋顶坍塌所导致的。洪水使得伤口难以愈合,细菌容易扩散。同时,在这座城市的其他地区,住所以及食物和干净水的供给都成了大问题。土地和庄稼都毁了,所以,营养不良会成为未来的一个问题。
食品已经开始陆续到达,但有一个问题,因为人们开始担心自己是否能够得到足够的食品。今天上午,人们由于争抢食品发生了好几次打斗。这使我想起了自己在苏丹所呆的那段时间,当时有好几名“无国界医生组织”的工作人员由于人们哄抢食品而受到了攻击。
在这里有一个优势,很多人都会说英语或法语。这让彼此之间的交流变得容易多了,也易于了解他们的各种问题。当你和当地人不能说同一种语言时,你就很难弄清对方的问题。不过,我有很好的表演技巧,所以,即使在有语言障碍的情况下我还是能够同当地人进行交流。在这里,很多人似乎就是要和你交谈,所以,我发现我的工作不仅仅是做护士了,我还是一个聆听别人倾诉和安慰别人的人。
想象失去一切,甚至包括一些你的家人,是非常可怕的事情。我们到这里做的第-件事就是为那些被杀害的人建一个墓地。我们需要尽快掩埋那些尸体,以阻止疾病的蔓延和传播。这真是一件非常可怕的工作,我为那些死者的亲属感到非常难过。
回想起我参加“无国界医生组织”以来在全世界范围的所有经历,我觉得自己能够帮助别人,做一些值得的事情,这是非常幸运的。现在,我得考虑明天的事了。诊所有望明天开门,到那时我就没有时间记日记了。这里的经历让我珍惜我所拥有的一切,给了我-个从另外一个角度看事物的机会。我知道,作为个人我不能彻底改变世界,但我很自豪,因为我能到处给人多多少少提供一些帮助,在个人的层面上去改变人们的生活。
● Section 2 Background information about the UN
I. History of the United Nations
The name “United Nations”, coined by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt, was first used in the “Declaration by United Nations” of 1 January 1942, during the Second World War, when representatives of 26 nations pledged their governments to continue fighting together against the Axis Powers.
In 1899, the first International Peace Conference was held in The Hague to elaborate instruments for settling crises peacefully, preventing wars and codifying rules of warfare. It adopted the Convention for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes and established the Permanent Court of Arbitration, which began work in 1902.
The forerunner of the United Nations was the League of Nations, an organization conceived in similar circumstances during the First World War, and established in 1919 under the Treaty of Versailles “to promote international cooperation and to achieve peace and security.”
In 1945, representatives of 50 countries met in San Francisco at the United Nations Conference on International Organization to draw up the United Nations Charter. Those delegates deliberated on the basis of proposals worked out by the representatives of China, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States at Dumbarton Oaks, United States, in August-October 1944. The Charter was signed on 26 June 1945 by the representatives of the 50 countries. Poland, which was not represented at the Conference, signed it later and became one of the original 51 member states.
The United Nations officially came into existence on 24 October 1945, when the Charter had been ratified by China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and a majority of other signatories. United Nations Day is celebrated on 24 October each year.distressed area
“联合国”这一名称是由美国总统富兰克林D罗斯福设想出来的。该名称于1942年1月1日发布《联合国宣言》时首次使用。时值第二次世界大战进行期间,当时26个国家派出的代表承诺其政府将继续共同对轴心国作战。
18,第一次国际和平会议在荷兰海牙召开。此次会议的目的是制订旨在和平解决危机和防止战争的文件及编撰战争规则。会上通过了《和平解决国际争端公约》,并依据该公约成立了常设仲裁法院。常设仲裁法院于19开始工作。
联合国的前身是“国际联盟”。该组织是在与第二次世界大战情况类似的第一次世界大战的背景下构想出来的。“国际联盟”是根据《凡尔赛和约》于19成立的,其宗旨是“促进国际合作和实现世界和平和安全”。
1945年4月25日-6月26日,来自50国家的代表参加了在美国旧金山举行的联合国国际组织会议,会议的目的是起草《联合国宪章》。代表们在中国、苏联、联合王国和美国四国代表于1944年8月-10月在美国顿巴顿橡树园会议上提出的提案基础上进行了讨论。1945年6月26日,50国家的代表签署了《联合国宪章》。当时波兰没有派代表参加此次会议,但后来签署了《联合国宪章》,因而成为联合国51个创始会员国之一。
在中国、法国、苏联、联合王国和美国以及大多数其他签字国批准《联合国宪章》之后,联合国组织与1945年10月24日正式成立。从此,10月24日成为每年都要庆祝的联合国日。

1) How did she help?
Set up feeding centers to ensure that people got food and we checked the health of babies
to make sure they were putting on weight. We had a vaccination campaign to stop children
dying from measles.
2) What dangers did she face?
Fighting in villages far from the city; looking out for bullets and running from one place to
another became way of life; water borne diseases such as malaria and typhoid; mud and
water everywhere, making it difficult to travel from place to place.

Step 4. Language focus
Arrived here to find everything was in chaos.
(1)不定式 to find 作结果状语,在英语中常见。如:
He hurried home, only to find his wife dead. 他匆忙赶到家,发现他妻子已死。
I awoke to find my truck gone. 我醒来发现箱子不见了。
He searched the room only to find nothing. 他搜索了房间,没发现什么。

The kitchen was in chaos.
After the war, the whole Iraq was in chaos.
2. Many of the people have fled to the mountains to escape the floods.
escape和flee两个单词均表示“逃”或“逃跑”的意思,但后者更强调在紧急情况
下仓促逃跑之意。
The enemy soldiers were fleeing in all directions, but few of them could escape.
误点剖析
误:However four men were not quick enough to escape from the flames.

直接跟名词或动词v-ing形式。例如:
You were lucky enough to escape punishment. 你的运气很好,免受惩罚。
He narrowly escaped death. 他是九死一生。
There’s no way to escape doing the work. 无法逃避做这项工作。
类似用法的词还有:flee, survive, serve等。注意下列正误句子的比较:
错误句:Why does she always flee from any kind of responsibility?
正确句:Why does she always flee any kind of responsibility?
错误句:Did anyone survive from the earthquake?
正确句:Did anyone survive the earthquake?
错误句:You should serve for your country.

Recording after teaching:
模块六 Unit 4 (Helping people around the world)
Period 1 Reading
Teaching aims:
1. To encourage students to share their experience of helping others in their daily
life and let them know the importance of helping others;
2. To teach students some general information about the work and responsibility
of a UN Goodwill Ambassador;
3. To help students practice and reinforce their reading skills;
4. To help students master the language points in the reading.
Teaching difficulties:
1. How to use “as” in different kinds of clauses.
2. How to interchange attributive clauses and verb-ing or verb-ed phrases.
3. How to combine two independent sentences using attributive clauses.
Teaching procedures:
Step 1 Lead-in
1. Start the class with the following questions:
Have you ever thought about the future?
What do you want to be in the future?
What do you think you should do to make your dream come true in the future?
Which do you think will help you fulfill your dream?
Have you ever thought about doing something for those children to help them
realize their dreams? If you have, what would you do?
2. Have students discuss and report their answers to the class. Help students
understand that not everyone in the world has the same opportunities. It would
be very hard for some people in poor areas to realize even a simple dream like
having a warm bed to sleep in at night. Something should be done for those who
are suffering a lot.
3. Tell students that they are going to read a passage about a helpful woman who
has devoted lots of her energy and time to making the life of poor people better.
Ask students what they can find by reading the title, and ask them to predict
what may be covered in the passage that they are going to read. Say:
Today, we are going to read a passage entitled “The UN-bringing everyone closer
together”. What do you think of when you see the title? What do you think will
be mentioned in the passage?

Teaching aims:
1. To enable the students to talk about the connected organizations of the UN.
2. To enable the students to talk about acronyms.
Teaching difficulties:
1. To help students to understand the language points from page 54~55.
2. To teach students to remember the names of the well-known organizations.
Teaching procedures:
Step1 Lead –in
T: During last periods, we have learnt some basic ideas of the UN and the UN
Goodwill ambassador. And this period we will learn more about the UN.
Before starting our class, I’d like to ask you a question: When you’re ill and
go to the hospital, what is the first thing you will do?
S: To register and know which clinic room is the right one.
T: Yes, that’s it! First you have to know what the problem is, and then find the
correct ways to cure. You can not go straight forward to the hospital and find
a doctor at random and ask for treatment.
T: And that’s the same to the international aid. Today, we’ll learn the connected
organizations of the UN and try to get a further understanding of the proper
organizations to help people around the world. Now, according to what we
have learned before, and the news you’ve heard of from newspaper and the
Internet, talk with your partner: What problems harass the world?
After several minutes.
T: What problems have you found?
S: Famine, wars, flood, natural disasters, poverty and also disease.
Write these down on the blackboard.
T: Correct! And do you know the right organizations in the UN that can help
solve these problems?
S: Not exactly.
T: Well, read Part A in Word power and discuss with your partner to find the right
organizations that can solve the problems you have mentioned above.
Step2 Learning through reading
Show the chart the students have done in the previous period and ask them to add
the new information they’ve learned about.
Problem Cause Organization
peacekeeping war, fighting
Famine Shortage of food
Flooding Typhoon
Irrigation Difficult to farm
disease Lack of doctors, no money, far away from a hospital
No running water or electricity and few schools poverty
Then ask the students to remember the organizations in the chart.
Step3 Practice
T: Well, that’s it. Now tell me whether these organizations are governmental or not?
S: They’re non-governmental.
T: And how many types can these organizations be classified into?
S: Special agencies, World Bank Group and Programs and funds.
T: Correct! You have learned the types of the UN organizations and what these
organizations aim at. Now finish Parts B& C.
Step4 Acronyms
T: Do you think the full names of the organizations are too long so that it’s very
inconvenient to talk about them. Here is a good means to shorten the names.
That is, keep the first letter of each word consisting of the full name. We call the
shortened names acronyms. Here are two examples. Let’s look at Part D.
After talking about this part, say:
T: Now, it’s your turn to work out the following acronyms using the information on
page 54.

虚拟语气
1) 概念
虚拟语气用来表示说话人的主观愿望或假想,所说的是一个条件,不一定是事实,或与事实相反
2) 在条件句中的应用
条件句可分为两类,一类为真实条件句,一类为非真实条件句。非真实条件句表示的是假设的或实际可能性不大的情况,故采用虚拟语气.
e.g. If he had seen you yesterday, he would have asked you about it .
如果他昨天见到你,他会问你这件事的。
If it doesn’t rain tomorrow, we will go to the park.
如果明天不下雨的话,我们就去公园。
一:虚拟语气在条件状语从句中的用法。
条件从句 从 句 主 句
与现在事实相反 动词的过去式(be的过去式一般用were) would/ should/ could/ might + 动词原形
与过去事实相反 had + 过去分词 would/ should/ could/ might + have + 过去分词
与将来事实相反 1.动词过去式
2.should + 动词原形
3.were to + 动词原形 would/ should/ could/ might + 动词原形
1、表示与现在事实相反的假设和结果
e.g.我是你的话,我会马上走。
If I were you , I would go at once.
e.g. 要是我哥在这儿,一切都没问题了。
If my brother were here, everything would be all right.
Translation:
1、如果他有时间,他就会(可能)和你去。

在书面语中,如果虚拟条件句中有were, had或should,可以把if省略,而把这几个词放到主语之前,构成主谓倒装。
Were I you (If I were you ), I would not do it
我要是你,就不做这事
Should he come(If he should come),tell him to ring me up.
他要是来了,让他给我打个电话。
( 2 )用介词短语代替条件状语从句

3. Lead the text:
If possible, I will ask students to collect some relevant information before class. Tell students that they are going to read an interview from a TV programme about happiness. Ask students to exchange the background information and experience about Sang Lan they have found with each other. (show the ppt to complement their information and help ss get much more information of sang lan.)
