1. introduce myself

I’m Zhang Ping, you can call me Miss Zhang. I’ll teach you till your teacher, Miss Cai, come back from the USA. This is my first time to teach fun with English , so you need your help, if there is any trouble. I didn’t teach for about half a year because I had a son last winter. I love my son because板書he is very lovely. I wish板書 I could stay at home板書for more time, but your English teacher has gone to the board, so板書I have to come back to teach you. I hope板書 we can get well on with.

2. free talk

T: I like F4 because they’re very handsome. Who is your favourite sports star/music star?

S: …is my favourite pop star.

T: Why do you like him/her best?

S: Because …

I like him/ her because he/she…板書

3. ask some more questions like this

Step 2 ：pre－task.

l. Turn to page 60. Let’s think of Ricky.

Q1: Why did Ricky help with the charity show? (Because he wanted to raise money for Project Hope).

Q2: Why couldn’t Ricky sleep the night before the show? ( Because he was too excited).

Step 3 ：While－task

Task1

1. T: When we ask for reasons, we use ‘why’. When we give reasons, we can use ‘because’. T: underline the sentences that contain the word ‘because’.

2. Ask two students to read out one example each from the grammar table at the top of page 64.

4. Explain the context of the exercise. Daniel is asking Sandy about the charity show. The words on the pieces of paper are reasons from Sandy’s notes.

Ask students to work on their own to write answers to Daniel’s notes. Remind them that each sentence must contain the word ‘because’.

Read out each of Daniel’s questions. Ask volunteers to answer the questions using ‘because’. Repeat the answers clearly and ask students to check their own work.

Task2

1. T: Look at the Bb, we say:

Ricky helped with the charity show because he wanted to raise money for Project Hope.板書

We also can say→Ricky helped with the charity show because of the money.

I’m fatter than before because I had a baby five months ago. 板書

We also can say→ I’m fatter than before because of my baby/him.

T: We can also use ‘because of’ to give a reason for something. When we use ‘because of’, it is followed by a noun or pronoun.

T: Look at the grammar table at the top of page 65. Show students that we can use ‘because of’ to answer questions with ‘why’, e.g.

Why did Ricky have to speak loudly? ( Because of the noise.)

Why was Ricky nervous? (Because of the TV cameras.)

T: Read the words above the speech bubbles in part B1, the first part says what happened, and the second part is the reason. Please use ‘because of’ to make sentences.

Ask three volunteers to read out their answers

T: part B2 Amy and Shirley are looking at pictures of a flood. Amy is answering Shirley’s questions about it. Please write answers to Shirley’s questions using ‘because of’ or ‘because’.

Select two students to play the roles of Shirley and Amy.

Task3

T: I like F4 because they’re handsome. F4 are very handsome, so I like them.

I like him/ her because he/she…板書

→He/She is …,so I like him/her.

1. Tell students that we can use ‘so’ to introduce a result. Read out the two examples and explain that the first part ( ‘There was a lot of work’/’ I wanted to help the poor’) is a fact, and the second part(‘I was very busy’/I ‘donated some money.’) is a result of that fact.

2. Explain that like ‘because’, ‘so’ can be used to give a reason for something, but the order is different from a sentence with ‘because’. In other words, we can give the information in the example sentences using ‘because’ as follows:

I was very busy because there was a lot of work.

I donated some money because I wanted to help the poor.

3. Ask students to rearrange the words in Part C1 to make sentences. Remind them that the first part of the sentence should be a fact and the second part should be a result.

4. Once students have finished, ask three students to read out one sentence each. Correct errors and mispronunciations.

5. Ask students to read through Kitty’s letter in part C2 for overall meaning first. Then ask them to fill in the blanks using ‘because’ ‘because of’ ‘so’.

6. Ask students to read out one paragraph each. Clarify any misunderstandings if necessary.

7. Ask students to complete ‘ Work out the rule!’ on their own. Ask one student to read out the rule and check the answer as a class.

8. In a compound sentence, we cannot use because and so at the same time.

(F) Because I got up late, so I’m late for school.

(T) I got up late, so I’m late for school.

(T) Because I got p late, I late for school.

Task4

T: I wish板書 I could stay at home for more time, but your English teacher has gone to the board, so板書I have to come back to teach you. I hope板書 I can get well on with you.

1. Tell Ss that we use ‘hope’ and ‘wish’ to talk about things or situations that we want to happen.

2. To hope is to want something to happen and think that it is possible. We usually use ‘hope’ to talk about the present or the future.

To wish is to want what is not happening or what did not happen. We usually use ‘wish’ to talk about the past or the present.

3. usage of ‘hope’:

v hope + to do

hope + clause

n. hope → hopes

e.g. I hope (wish) to come.

e.g. I hope she won’t come tonight.

e.g. You’re my last hope.

4. usage of ‘wish’:

v.

wish + to do

wish + sb. to do

wish + clause 虛擬。表示不可能實現。

I I wish sb. …

n. wish →wishes

e.g. We wish Zhou Jie Lun to have a concert next year.

e.g. I wish that I were Yao Ming. (impossible)

e.g. I wish that I could fly. (impossible).

e.g. I wish you merry Christmas.

e.g. I sent a post card with my best wishes for my dear friend.
