1) Read the conversation in 3a quickly and true or false the sentences. 2) Read the conversation again and answer the questions in 3a.

1. Why did Alice not want to go on the new ride? How did she feel after the ride? 2. What is special about Uncle Bob’s restaurant?

3. Should Alice and He Wei get there early for dinner? Why? Step 4 Practice

Underline the questions or statements in the conversation that ask for information. Rewrite them in a different way.

e.g. I wonder where we should go next. Could you tell me where we could go next? Check the answers with the whole class. Step 6 Language points

1. I was scared at first, but shouting did help.

此句相当于I was scared at first, but shouting really helped. 原句是一种表现强调的句式，英语中，可用助动词do对谓语动词进行强调，构成强调句。 e.g. Please do be careful. 请一定小心。 I do agree with you. 我完全同意你的意见。

He did warn you other day, remember? 他前两天就告诫过你，还记得吗？ 2. You never know until you try something. try的用法

1) 做名词 have a try 试一试

e.g. Why not have a try? 为什么不试一试？ 2) 做动词 (1) try to do sth. 努力做某事

e.g. Well, we’ll try to finish the homework in time. (2) try doing sth. 表示尝试着去做某事

e.g. -- I usually go there by train. 我通常乘火车去那儿。

-- Why not try going by boat for a change? 为什么不换乘船呢? (3) try one’s best 尽某人最大的努力

3. I suggest Water City Restaurant in Water World.

suggest作动词，可意为“显示；间接表明”，后可接宾语从句。 e.g. His behavior suggested (that) he was a kind man. suggest作“建议”讲时，应注意以下两点：

1) suggest doing sth. 建议做某事 e.g. I suggested going home.

2) suggest后接从句时，从句常用虚拟语气，谓语由“should +动词原形”构成， should可以省略。

e.g. I suggested that we should go home. 我建议我们回家。

另外，suggestion是suggest的名词形式，作“建议”讲时，是可数名词。 e.g. Do you have any suggestions? 你有什么建议吗？

4. The restaurant is always busy, at that time so come a little earlier to get a table. 动词短语to get a table类似于汉语“定餐桌；占位子”等意思。 Step 7 Homework 1. 背诵3a。

2. 用“Could you tell me … ?”写三个问路的句子。

7. 我想知道接下来我们该去哪儿。 I ______ where we ______ _____ _____. 8. 你应该试试那个新的乘骑设施。 You should try that new ride over there. 2）Objective clauses with wh-questions

上一个单元我们已经学习了由that和whether, if引导的宾语从句。这个单元我们继续学习由疑问词引导的宾语从句。疑问词：疑问代词（what、whom、who、whose、which）疑问副词（when、where、why、how）。

语序：无论主句是陈述句还是疑问句，也无论主从句间是什么引导词，宾语从句一律用陈述语序，即“引导词+主语+谓语+其它”。如：Could you tell me where Wei Fang lives? 时态

1. 如果主句是一般现在时或一般将来时，宾语从句的时态不受，可根据实际表达的需要来确定。如：

Jenny knows the man was flying a kite at that time. You will understand why I did it one day. 总有一天你会明白我为什么那样做。

2. 如果主句是一般过去时，宾语从句用过去时态的某种形式。如： I thought he had gone to town that day. 我以为他那天进城去了。

3. 如果宾语从句叙述的是客观事实、自然现象或科学真理等，从句不受主句时态的，用一般现在时。如： He said time is money. 他说时间就是金钱。 3）Practice

Step 3 Function: Ask for information politely and follow directions 1) 问路时应注意

① 问路时应首先说一声：“Excuse me.”这样可以引起对方的注意，又不失礼貌。 ② 当你没听清时，你可以说一声“Excuse me, would you please say it again?”(对不起，请您再说一遍好吗?) 或“I beg your pardon?”(对不起，请再说一遍好吗?)等，礼貌地要求对方重复一遍。

③ 问完路后，千万不要忘记向对方说句“Thank you for helping me.” 或“Thank you.” ④ 问路时经常会用到“向左(右)拐”这样的表达，英语对此有两种常见的说法，即turn left (right)或turn to the left (right)。表示 “在左(右)边”，英语用介词on或at均可。 2）用英语问路及其回答 Step 4 Practice

Step 9 Language points

1. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite.

less + 形容词或副词，构成降级比较形式，相当于中文“不那么”之意。 e.g. His second movie is less interesting.

2. It might seem more difficult to speak politely than directly.

24

情态动词might 表达一种可能性及推测的不确定性，意思与表达可能性的may相当，表示“有可能，也许会”，但语气更加委婉，更不确定。 e.g. He might come, but it’s very unlikely.

3. However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations. it作形式主语

在英语中，如果主语是较长的动词不定式或一个句子，为了保持句子结构的平衡，避免头重脚轻，通常用it作形式主语放在句首，而把真正的主语放在句尾。 常见的句型有：

1) It is + adj. (+ for + sb.) + to do sth.。常用于此句型的形容词有important, difficult, dangerous, necessary, useful, possible等，用来对to do sth. 进行说明。如： It’s difficult for us to finish the work in an hour.

2) It is + adj. + of + sb. + to do sth.。常用于此句型的形容词有good, kind, nice, clever, wise等，用来对sb.的性格、品质等进行说明。 如：It’s kind of you to say so. Step 10 Exercises Step 11 Homework
