Lead in

新课讲授
Reading
Zhao Yuanren: a language master
Zhao Yuanren could speak over 30 Chinese dialects and some foreign languages like English, French and German. Besides his great talent and strong interest in languages, Zhao had useful ways to learn languages.
Zhao thought it was important to spend as much time as possible reading, speaking and listening to the language. Every time he went to a new place, he would talk with the locals. He quickly learnt their language by putting himself in the language environment. Also, Zhao always carried a pen and paper with him to write down useful sentences. Zhao believed that it was best to focus on learning sentences rather than single words. In this way, he remembered the meanings of the words well.
It is hard to learn a new language, but if we do it the right way, it will be a lot easier.
1 What made Zhao Yuanren a language master
2 What do you think is the right way to learn a new language
His great talent, strong interest in languages and useful ways to learn languages.
I think spending more time practising the language is the right way to learn a new language. Put yourself in the language environment and try to use the new language every day.
Language points
1. Besides his great talent and strong interest in languages, Zhao had
useful ways to learn languages.
besides 作介词，意为“除……之外（还）”，用于列举除了已经提及的事物或情况外的其他事物或情况。
besides 还可作副词，意为“此外”，用于添加额外的信息或强调内容。通常放在句首、句中，此时要用逗号和句子的其他内容隔开，也可以放在句尾。
e.g. Besides English, she also speaks French.除了英语，她还说法语。
He gave me a book, a pen and some money besides.
他给了我一本书，一支钢笔，此外还给了我一些钱。
Language points
辨析: besides 与except
besides 表示“除了……之外，还有”，指“在整体中加入一部分”，表示递加的概念，含义是肯定的。
except 表示“除了……之外”，指“从所提到的人或事物中除去，即从整体中除去一部分”，表示递减的概念，含义是否定的。
e.g. Everyone enjoyed the movie except Tom, who found it boring.
Besides him, three classmates also shared their reviews.
除了汤姆觉得无聊，其他人都喜欢这部电影。此外，还有
三名同学发表了影评。
2. Zhao thought it was important to spend as much time as possible
reading, speaking and listening to the language.
(1) 长难句分析：这是一个主从复合句。Zhao thought 是主句，it was important to spend as much time as possible reading, speaking and listening to the language 是 宾语从句。从句中it 是形式主语，to spend ... 是真正的主语。
(2) as ... as possible 尽可能……
as often as possible 尽可能经常
as quickly/much/early as possible 尽量快 / 多 / 早
e.g. You need to finish the task as quickly as possible.
你们需要尽可能快地完成任务。
He did as much as possible to help the old man.
他尽可能多地帮助那个老人。
possible 形容词，“可能的”，在句中常作表语和定语；其反义词是impossible。
常用句式：①It is possible (for sb.) to do sth. 表示“ （某人）做某事是可能的。”
②It is possible + that 从句. 表示“……是可能的。”
e.g. It’s possible to learn a new language.
学习一门新语言是可能的。
It is possible that he will come late.
他可能会迟到。
辨析: possible, probable 与likely
possible 表示“可能的，可能做到的，可能存在的”。
probable 表示“很可能发生的”，比“possible”表示
的可能性大。
likely 表示“可能的”，但侧重于从表面迹象判断某事有可能发生，与“probable”意思相近，但比“probable”更口语化。
e.g. He has a possible solution to the problem.
他有一个可能的问题解决方案。
I think it’s impossible to finish this puzzle in five minutes.
我觉得五分钟内完成这个拼图是不可能的。
Tickets are likely to be expensive. 入场券可能很贵。
3. Every time he went to a new place, he would talk
with the locals.
长难句分析：这是一个主从复合句。主句主语是he，谓语是would talk with，宾语是the locals；从句是Every time引导的时间状语从句，主语是he，谓语是went to，宾语是a new place。
4. Also, Zhao always carried a pen and paper with
him to write down useful sentences.
carry sth. with sb. 某人随身携带某物
e.g. My brother carries a lucky coin with him.
我弟弟随身带着一枚幸运硬币。
5. Zhao believed that it was best to focus on learning sentences
rather than single words.
(1) focus on doing sth.集中精力做某事；专注于做某事
e.g. My dog focuses on chasing its tail.
我的狗专注于追自己的尾巴。
(2) rather than 用于表示选择或偏好，意为“而不是”或“宁可……而不……”；通常用于连接两个并列的成分。
“would rather do sth. than do sth.”或“prefer to do sth. rather than do sth.”意为“宁愿做某事而不愿做某事；比起做某事更喜欢做某事”。
e.g. They chose to walk rather than take the bus.
他们选择步行而不是坐公共汽车。
The girl would sing rather than dance. 这个女孩宁愿唱歌也不愿跳舞。
I’d rather eat an apple than a banana.我宁愿吃苹果也不愿吃香蕉。
She prefers to read a book rather than watch TV.
她宁愿读书也不愿看电视。

D2 Read Millie’s article for Teenagers magazine and analyse its structure.
Practice makes perfect
During the summer holiday, I saw a group of American students at the Temple of Heaven. They asked me about the restaurants nearby, and I answered them in English. To my surprise, they could not understand my English, and I had to repeat myself many times. I then decided to make a plan to improve my English.
I started my plan after I came back. Every morning, I spent 10 minutes listening to English on a language learning app on my phone, then another 10 minutes practising my pronunciation. I did this every day, even at the weekend. After two months, my pronunciation became a lot better.
Practice makes perfect. I still follow this plan, and now I am happy that I can express myself in English very well. I even work as a volunteer to help foreign tourists in my free time.
Introduction: Introduce
the problem.
Conclusion: Share what you’ve learnt from it.
Main body: Give a detailed description of how you overcame the problem.
