（四）重點、難點：（Key points and difficulties）
1. by 介詞，表示“通過…方法或途徑”的意思，譯成“靠、通過”
by后面可以加名詞或動名詞短語
eg.
（1）The house was destroyed by fire. 房屋被火燒毀了。
（2）travel by air （land , sea）航空（陸路、航海）旅行。
（3）go by train （boat , bus）乘火車（船，公共汽車）去
（4）shake sb by the hand 和某人握手
（5）I study English by watching English movies. 我通過看英文電影學(xué)英語。
另外，by做為介詞的含義有很多，我們也已經(jīng)學(xué)習(xí)過一些用法，總結(jié)如下
（1）在…旁邊、靠近
eg. There is a power station by the river. 河邊有一個電廠。

2. “How”questions
How 引導(dǎo)特殊疑問句，有兩種含義

How do you learn English ?
你是怎樣學(xué)英文的？
I learn English by reading lots of English magazines.
我通過讀大量英文雜志學(xué)習(xí)英文。
請同學(xué)們注意how和what引導(dǎo)的疑問句是不一樣的，不能混淆。
how通常對程度或方式進(jìn)行提問，意為“怎么樣”，回答通常做狀語或表語，what 常對動作的發(fā)出者或
接受者進(jìn)行提問，意為“什么”，回答通常主語或賓語。
試比較：
（1）How is your summer holiday ? It is perfect. （表程度，表語）
（2）How did you travel around the world ?
I travelled by bike. （表方式，狀語）
（3）What do you learn at school ?
I learn Chinese , English , Maths and other subjects.（學(xué)習(xí)的科目，做賓語）
3. 在這一單元中出現(xiàn)的話題是“討論如何學(xué)習(xí)”。這個話題既有趣又實用，既能鍛煉我們的口語表達(dá)能
力，又能使我們學(xué)到一些實用的方法，對自身的學(xué)習(xí)大有幫助。如何向別人請教學(xué)習(xí)方法呢？又如何回答
呢？
請誦讀下面的目標(biāo)句型：
How do you study English ? （運用特殊疑問句）
I study by listening to cassetts. （聽錄音帶）
I study by studying with a group. （和小組一起學(xué)習(xí)）
by watching English programs on TV. （看英語電視節(jié)目）
by enjoying English songs. （聽英文歌）
by taking part in English classes after school . （上課外英語班）
by getting an English tutor. （請英語家教）
by reading English magazines and newspaper . （讀英文雜志、報紙）
by surfing the internet. （網(wǎng)上沖浪）
by making flashcards. （制作單詞認(rèn)讀卡片）
by reading the textbook. （讀教科書）
by asking the teacher for help. （請教老師）
by making vocabulary lists. （列單詞表）
by taking notes carefully . （認(rèn)真記筆記）
by having the English class carefully . （認(rèn)真上課）
by finishing my homework seriously . （認(rèn)真完成作業(yè)）
Do you learn English by …? （用一般疑問句）
Yes , I do . / No , I don’t.
Have you ever studied with a group ? （用完成時態(tài)）
Yes , I have . I’ve learned a lot that way.
What about listening to cassettes ? ［用what about ＋動名詞 提問］
I do that sometimes. I think it helps.
4. 學(xué)會評價各種學(xué)習(xí)方法的優(yōu)劣（Comment on the ways of learning English）
看到了上面各種各樣的學(xué)習(xí)方法，有些眼花繚亂。其實，并不是所有的方法都適合自己。我們要學(xué)會判
斷、評價，然后才能選擇最適合自己的
用哪些語言才能表達(dá)自己的評價呢？請看下面的目標(biāo)句型：
I think studying English by …is…because …
如：I think studying English by working with a group is a good way because you can ask
others when you have questions.
I think surfing the internet is a bad way because you have to use a computer and always
waste your time.
…
這個句型較長是個復(fù)合句，出現(xiàn)了由because 引導(dǎo)的原因狀語從句。進(jìn)入初三后，我們在寫作表達(dá)時，
要避免再使用僅僅由because 引導(dǎo)的句子，而要寫完整的句子。
如：不能寫B(tài)ecause I slept late . 意思不完整，不清晰
要寫成I missed the early bus because I slept late .
這樣，有原因，有結(jié)果，才是完整的句子。
5. 找出自己在英語學(xué)習(xí)中的困難 （Find out your own difficulties in learning English）
要選擇適合自己的學(xué)習(xí)方法，還必須清楚自己的困難所在，然后才能有的放矢。
learning English can be difficult . What things are difficult for you ?
我們?nèi)绾蝸肀磉_(dá)自己學(xué)習(xí)與遇到的困難呢？如何給出建議呢？
請誦讀下面的目標(biāo)句型：說出困難：
I have a problem . I can’t remember the new words.
I can’t pronounce some of the words.
I can’t understand spoken English .
I always make mistakes in grammer.
I read very slowly.
I don’t know how to speak English well.
給出建議：
You should read English aloud.
Listening can help.
Why don’t you join an English language club to practice speaking.
Would you mind remembering new words by flashcards.
Please try to talk with your friends in English as much as possible.
（請注意不同句式的運用）
6. 選擇適合自己的學(xué)習(xí)方法（Choose your suitable learning ways）
通過以上各個環(huán)節(jié)的學(xué)習(xí)，我們終于可以完成最后的目標(biāo)－－選擇適合自己的方法。
如何表達(dá)呢？目標(biāo)句型如下：（注意要給出原因，練習(xí)使用because）
I (don’t) think I can study English by … , because …
（1）I think I can study English by listening to English songs because I love music too.
（2）I don’t think I can get an English tutor because I want to learn by myself at home.
找到適合自己的方法，寫出至少五句。
（六）3a in Section A 疑難解釋
1.
eg. He asked his mother to buy him a new bicycle.
他請求他母親給他買一輛新自行車。
2. Many said they learnt by using English .
許多（學(xué)生）說他們通過使用英語來學(xué)習(xí)。
Many在這里是代詞，而不是形容詞，意為Many students.
Many is a large number of something.
例如：We can put away many of these plates . We don’t need this many.
我們可以把許多盤子收起來，用不著這么多。
3.
eg. I felt frustrated at that time. 那時，我覺得很沮喪。
類似的還有
請同學(xué)們在學(xué)習(xí)中注意收集
4. not at all 根本不，全然不
eg. My brother did not like the scarf at all.
not經(jīng)常可以和助動詞結(jié)合在一起，at all 則放在句尾
5. get excited 變得興奮起來 get是系動詞，有“逐漸變得”的含義
get + adj
eg. get mad 生氣
get clear變得清楚了
The long journey got the children all tired.
長途旅行使得孩子們疲憊不堪。
6. end up doing sth 終止做某事，結(jié)束做某事 后面加動名詞短語
相當(dāng)于finish doing sth .
但要注意與stop doing sth 的區(qū)別
eg. We had to stop singing because somebody knocked at the door.
另外，end up with … 以…結(jié)束
The party ended up with her singing.
晚會以她的歌唱而告終。
7. 在3a中，出現(xiàn)了大量的動名詞。我們有必要了解動名詞的結(jié)構(gòu)及用法，動名詞即動詞的ing形式，相當(dāng)
于名詞，在句子中可以做主語、賓語、表語定語等。
eg.
（1）I think that doing lots of listening practice is one of the secrets of learning.
doing …為動名詞短語，做從句中的主語，而listening 做定語，修飾practice.
（2）I’m enjoying learning English . （動名詞短語做賓語）
（3）Seeing is believing 眼見為實（Seeing 做主語，believing 做表語）
（七）3a in Section B 疑難解析
1. First of all , it wasn’t easy for me to understand the teacher.
首先，對我而言，聽懂老師的話并不容易。
first of all 首先
It is (was) …for sb to do sth .
在這個句型中，不定式做真正的主語，it是形式主語。
2. 一些詞組
laugh at sb 嘲笑某人
take notes 記筆記
enjoy doing sth 樂意做某事
be impressed 深受感動的
3. 在這篇文章中，出現(xiàn)了許多表示順序或承接的連詞或詞組。這些詞使全文流暢、生動、層次清晰，條
理清楚。在寫作中，正確使用連接詞，會使文章增色不少，提高檔次。在文章中，出現(xiàn)的詞有：
first of all 首先
to begin with 一開始
later on 后來、隨
also 也、而且（用于肯定句）
either 也（用于否定句）
so 因此
then然后
