New Lesson Explanation (25 minutes)
1. Definition and Components of the Subject (10 minutes)
The subject is the main part of a sentence, indicating the person or thing performing an action or in a certain state.
Four components of the subject:
Noun: My job is to teach English.
Pronoun: I am a teacher.
Non-predicate verb: Helping you learn English well is my task.
Clause: Whether you like him or not is none of my business.
2. Methods to Handle Sentences Without a Subject (15 minutes)
1) Adding “it” as the subject: Must relate to weather, temperature, or time.
Example:
①雨一直下 → It is raining / It has rained.
②机舱里很闷 → It feels very/exceedingly hot in the cabin.
2) “There be” structure: Used when expressing existence. “Be” can be replaced with “exist,” “seem,” “remain,” etc.
Example:
有很多人喜欢我 →There are/exist many/a host of undergraduates like/being fascinated with me.
3) Passive voice: Sentences originally with personal pronouns as subjects can be rewritten in the passive voice.
Example:
①必须指出坚持很重要
Persistence must be pointed out outstandingly important/crucial.
②越来越多的人认为过度捕捞很严重
Overfishing is thought/claimed more than serious/fearful by more and more/an increasing amount of professors.
Three cases where the passive voice cannot be used:
①When the verb is followed by a preposition.
②With linking verbs.
③When “have” means “to possess.”
4) Personal pronouns: Avoid using them unless absolutely necessary.
VI. Extension Application (8 minutes)

如果有梦想，应该会成功→ If there exists a dream, success/glories are supposed to be achieved.
