Unit 4 My favourite Subject
Section 3 Grammar Focus
>>> Content analysis
This is the third lesson of Unit 4, focusing on the grammar section of Section A. The core grammar item of this unit is the functions and usages of the conjunctions “and”, “but” and “because”. Activity 3a lists typical sentence patterns containing these three conjunctions. Activity 3b asks students to make sentences by matching two parts of sentences. Activity 3c requires students to fill in the blanks with the correct conjunctions. Activity 3d tasks students with using the knowledge they have learned to ask their classmates about the subjects they have on their favorite school day, as well as the subjects their classmates like and the reasons for their preference. All these exercises center on the usage of the conjunctions “and”, “but” and “because”.
By reading the sentences in the table, students can summarize the usages of the conjunctions “and”, “but” and “because”, and develop the ability to express their personal preferences for subjects and the corresponding reasons. Written exercises help students consolidate the use of these conjunctions, while speaking practice enables them to become more proficient in talking about their favorite subjects.
The teaching materials are presented in the form of sentences and paragraphs. The content is simple and closely related to students’ school life. When completing Activity 3b, students need to understand the context and identify key words; when working on Activity 3c, they should clarify the logical relationships between sentences. Activity 3d provides students with opportunities to conduct comprehensive speaking practice.
