必修一 Unit1 friendship

Grammar

●从容说课

According to the contents based on the new course standard，senior students are required to understand the function of grammar and can use it freely. Gradually contact and understand complex language phenomena so that students may have the ability to summarize、analyze and explain. This is the third period of this unit. In this period，we mainly deal with the changes between Direct Speech and Indirect Speech. In order to make students grasp it well，I think it is necessary to give them more practice and encourage them to find out the problems of grammar by themselves.

●三维目标

1.Knowledge：

words/phrases：Germans，with so many clothes on

2.Ability：

●教学过程

Step 1 Greetings

Greet the whole class as usual.

Step 2

T：Now I want you to translate two sentences into English. Listen carefully.“我喜欢交朋友”，the second one “妈妈， 你看见我的笔记本了吗？”Now how to translate the two sentences？Who wants to try？Yeah，Alice，you try，please. The first one.

S：I like making friends.

T：Good，sit down，please. Alice said，“I like making friends”（Bb：Alice said，“I like making friends.”）

The second one. Who wants to try？OK，David，you try，please.

S：Mum，have you seen my notebook？（Bb：David asked，“Mom，have you seen my notebook.”）

T：Now look at the blackboard. If we report what Alice and David said to someone else，how to do it？

T and Ss：Alice said that she liked making friends.

David asked his mum if she had seen his notebook.（Bb：Write them on the blackboard.）

T：Yes. Let’s come to our text. Read the sentences in exercise 1 of discovering structures. Later I’ll ask you to tell me what you’ve discovered. Now，who can tell me？

S1：We should pay attention to the changes of tenses. Look at the underlined words.

S2：We should pay more attention to the second sentence. In direct speech，it’s a general question. But in indirect speech，we should use if or whether to introduce object clause besides the change of verb.

S3：If it is a special question in direct speech，we should use the original interrogative in indirect speech.

T：Wonderful! Now I’ll give you brief explanation of “Direct Speech and Indirect Speech”（1）：Statements & Questions

☆You use Direct Speech when you want to show the exact words someone said or wrote. Use quotation marks to show that you report the exact words a person used and a reporting clause to include information about the speak and the situation.e.g.“I had a great time at the picnic，” she told her mum.（direct speech）（reporting clause）

☆The reporting clause may come before，within，or after the direct speech. When the reporting clause comes after the direct speech，the order of the subject and the verb may be changed，e.g. Jane said/said Jane. This typically happens when the reporting clause is within the reported speech and the subject is not a pronoun.e.g.Jane said，“I’ve got a new e-pal. He is from German.”

“I’ve got a new pal. He is from Germany，” Jane said/said Jane/she said.

Use a comma to connect the direct speech and the reporting clause.

When you change a sentence from Direct Speech to Indirect Speech，you sometimes need to change the verb tense. You may also need to change pronouns in order to keep the same meaning.

DIRECT SPEECH←→INDIRECT SPEECH

Present Past

Past past or past perfect

Present perfect past perfect

Past perfect past perfect

e.g.“Did you get e-mails from your friends？” she asked.→

She asked if I had got e-mails from my friends.

When you use Indirect Speech to report what someone said，you can sometimes change the exact words without changing what the speaker actually said.

e.g. Wilson said，“How long have we been in his place？”→

Wilson asked how long you had been here.

T：Next，let’s do some exercises. Look at Part 2.Change the following direct speech into indirect speech and indirect into direct. First do it by yourselves. Then discuss it in pairs. Finally I’ll show you the answers.（After students do it，teacher shows the following on the screen.）

Suggested answers：

1.Anne said that she was going to hide from the Germans.

2.Anne said that she didn’t know the address of her new home.

3.She said she couldn’t ask her father because it was not safe to know.

4.The girl said she had had to pick up her things very quickly.

5.Dad asked her why she had chosen her diary and old letters.

6.“Are you hot with so many clothes on” Mum asked.

7.“What else did you get？” Margot asked her.

8.“When will we go back home？” Anne asked.

9.“How can you see your friends？” Anne asked.

10.“Why did you go out last night？” Mother asked Anne.

T：You did a good job.In fact，we should pay attention to some special cases.In the interchanges of Direct Speech and Indirect Speech，it is not necessary for us to change “here，come，yesterday and so on” into “there，go，the day before” if we are at that given time and place.Of course，if the content in Direct Speech is objective truth，it is also not necessary to change tenses in Indirect Speech.For example：She said to the children，“The earth moves around the sun.”→She told the children that the earth moves round the sun.As to this，you should remember.Is that clear？

Ss：Yes.

Step 3

T：OK.Let’s deal with using structures on page 42.Retell the story to consolidate the grammar.After a while，I will ask some of you to report your story.Let’s see who can do the best.

Step 4

T：Thank you for your report!Now play the game on page 43.Make up a dialogue in groups of three.

S1：A：Who was waiting for them there？

B：What did he or she said？

C：He or she asked who was waiting for them there.

S2：

Step 5

T：You did a good job.I show you two letters to see how well you understand this grammar. Change them into Indirect speech.

Letter 1：

Dear Bassanio，

My friend，my ships are all lost at sea and now I have to pay Shylock with a pound of my flesh according to our agreement. Since paying him will cost me my life，I wish to see you before I die.If you love me not enough to lead you here，forget about the letter.

Yours，

Antonio

Letter 2：

Sir，

I am very ill. When your letter reached me，I had with me a learned young doctor from Rome. I told him about the quarrel between Shylock and Antonio. We studied many law books and he knows what I would say. I ask you to let him stand in my place and pass judgment. He is young，but I never knew so young a body with so wise a head.

Yours，

Doctor Bellario

T：Are you ready？Let’s check the answers with the whole class.

Answers：Letter 1：

Bassabio received a letter from Antonio. In the letter，Antonio said that his ships were all at sea and he had to pay Shylock with a pound of his flesh according to their agreement. Since paying Shylock would cost him his life，he wished to see Bassanio before he died. He said if Bassanio，s love for him was not enough to lead him there，Bassanio should forget about the letter.

Letter 2：

Dpoctor Bellario wrote in his letter that he was very ill and he had been with a learned young doctor from Rome when this letter reached him. He had told the young doctor about the quarrel between Shylock and Antonio. They had studied many law books and the young doctor knew what he would say.

2.Change the following passage into dialogues.

Bassanio told Antonio that he was in love with Portia，a rich and beautiful lady，and that she also loved him. He also told Antonio that he could ask Portia to marry him because he had no many. He asked Antonia if he could lend him three thousand ducats. Antonio told him that all his ships were at sea and he had no money at present.

They went to Shylock to borrow the money. Shylock didn’t like Antonio，who had many times told others about his greed and cruelty. However，he agreed to lend Antonio the money on one condition. He would have the right to have a pound of Aantonio’s flesh to be cut off from any part of his body if he did not pay the money back at the end of three months. Antonio said that he would accept these terms. Bassanio tried to keep Antonio from accepting them，but Antonio treated them as a joke and said he would not refuse Shylock’s offer and would sign the agreement.

Dialogue：

B：Aantonio，my friend. I am in love with a rich and beautiful lady，whose name is Portia.

A：Does she love you？

B：Yes，she loves me. Or at least I think so.

A：Have you asked her to marry you？

B：I wanted to，but I can’t.

A：Why not？

B：Because I have no money.

A：If that is your only problem. I can help you. How much do you need？

B：I would be very grateful if you can lend me 3000 ducats.

A：I’d be happy to help you，but all my ships are at sea and I have no money at present. But don’t worry，I’ll find a way to solve this problem.

B：Oh，you are such a kind man. Thank you very much.
