Unit 1 Time to Relax
单元讲解和练习
本单元围绕 “Time to Relax（休闲时光）” 展开，核心探讨业余活动的重要性及对生活的积极影响。内容涵盖三大模块：
日常交流：谈论业余活动（如书法、滑雪、编程等）、分享爱好选择的原因，以及克服活动中遇到的挑战（如害怕游泳、滑冰困难）；
文本阅读：通过介绍两位青少年的特色爱好（意大利男孩制作手机应用、印度女孩收集明信片），分析爱好在放松身心、学习技能、连接世界等方面的作用；
实践任务：设计 “流行业余活动调查” 项目，引导学生用英语收集、整理并展示数据，同时运用单元语法和词汇完成写作与表达。
本单元旨在帮助学生掌握 “谈论爱好” 的英语表达，理解业余活动对身心健康的意义，同时巩固动词不定式的用法。
词汇记忆：结合 “文本场景 + 例句”将单词与单元文本中的具体场景绑定（如 “calligraphy”
对应 Yaming 练习书法的场景，“postcard” 对应 Maya 收集明信片的场景），同时仿写单元例句，如用 “stress” 造句：“Playing the guitar helps me reduce stress after school.”。
语法练习：从 “识别” 到 “运用”先在课文中划出所有动词不定式句子（如 1d 对话、2b 阅
读），标注 “作目的状语” 或 “作宾语补足语”；再用单元核心动词（如 tell, encourage, relax）造句，确保掌握两种用法 1。
口语表达：模拟 “爱好对话”结合课本 1d 的对话模板，和同学互相提问：“What do you do
in your free time ”“Why do you like it ”，用 “to relax”“to express feelings” 等不定式短语回答，如：“I like doing calligraphy to calm myself down.”。

“Hobbies help reduce stress”“It gives a sense of achievement”），为写作积累素材。

(
（三）重点句
子
)
Why do you do it I do it to relax.（你为什么做这件事？我做它是为了放松。）
解析：“to relax” 是动词不定式作目的状语，说明 “做某事的目的”，高频用于回答 “why” 引导的提问，单元 1d 对话中多次使用此结构。仿写：—Why do you practice calligraphy —I practice calligraphy to calm myself down.
The first step is always the hardest.（万事开头难。）
解析：本句是单元核心谚语，Yaming 用它鼓励 Peter 坚持学吉他，可用于口语交流或写作中鼓励他人克服困难。
例 句 ： Learning to program is not easy, but remember: the first step is always the hardest—Luca spent months learning the basics.
It gives me such a sense of achievement to see people using the app.（看到人们使用这个应用，我感到非常有成就感。）
解析：“It” 作形式主语，真正主语是 “to see people using the app”，避免句子头重脚轻；“such
a + 名词” 表 “如此…… 的……”，Luca 用此句表达自己的感受 14。仿写：It gives me such a happy feeling to receive postcards from my pen pals.
Although it was difficult at first, I didn’t give up.（虽然一开始很难，但我没有放弃。）
解析：“although” 引导让步状语从句，不能与 “but” 连用；主句体现转折含义，如单元中 Yaming 坚持练习书法、Fu Xing 克服怕水的经历 7。仿写：Although collecting postcards is time-consuming, Maya didn’t give up because she loves learning about foreign places.
(
（四）重点语法：动词不定式
（
Infinitives
）
)
本单元核心语法为 “动词不定式（to + 动词原形）”，主要掌握两种用法：
作目的状语（表 “做某事的目的”）
结构：主句 + to do sth.
标志：常与 “help, go, come, take” 等动词连用，回答 “why” 引导的提问，单元 1b、1d 中大量出现此用法。
例句：She went to the sports centre to ice skate.（她去运动中心是为了滑冰。）
Helen paints to express her feelings and reduce stress.
（海伦画画是为了表达情感和缓解压力。）
作宾语补足语（补充说明宾语的动作）
结构：主语 + 动词（tell, ask, encourage, want 等）+ 宾语 + to do sth（. sth.）
否定式：not to do
常见动词：tell（告诉）、ask（要求）、encourage（鼓励）、want（想要），单元 2b 对话中 “instructor told Emma not to give up” 就是典型用法 23。
例句：The instructor told Emma not to give up so easily.（教练告诉艾玛不要轻易放弃。）
My parents encourage me to take up a new hobby like calligraphy.
（父母鼓励我培养书法这样的新爱好。）
语法易错点：
有些动词后接不定式时 “不带 to”，如 “let, make, see, hear”，例如：Let me help you practice calligraphy.（让我帮你练习书法。）
不定式作主语时，常用 “it” 作形式主语，避免头重脚轻，例如：It’s fun to collect postcards.
（收集明信片很有趣。）（不用 To collect postcards is fun.）
(

Hobbies make our life more colorful. My favourite hobby is collecting postcards. I started it when I was six. My uncle sent me a postcard from Beijing, and I was interested in the beautiful Great Wall on it—so I decided to 1 this hobby.
At first, it was not easy to find postcards. I asked my friends and family to send me postcards when they traveled. Now I have over 80 postcards from 20 countries. Every Sunday morning, I 2 my postcards and stick new ones in my album. I also look up the places on the postcards online to learn about their history and culture.
Collecting postcards helps me a lot. First, it helps me 3 stress from study—I forget all my homework when I look at the colorful pictures. Second, it teaches me about 4

Sometimes, I meet challenges with this hobby. For example, I once wanted a postcard from Japan, but no one I knew had been there. I felt a little upset, 6 I didn’t give up. I searched online and found a pen pal in Tokyo. I sent her a postcard of my city, and she sent one back in return. This experience taught me 7 to solve problems on my own.
My parents 8 support my hobby. They often take me to postcard fairs on weekends, where I can buy rare postcards and talk to other collectors. I’ve learned that collecting postcards is not 9 —it takes time and patience—but it’s always worth it.
I love collecting postcards. It’s not just a hobby—it’s a way to learn about the world. I will keep doing it and hope 10 more friends who share this interest.
