Unit 1 How do you study for a test?
Section B & Reading

主编:黄冈中学英语集体备课组

Step 1 The introduction

  English learners can get a lot of help from Section B. In Section B, many helpful learning methods are introduced. As for listening, we can listen to English tapes or watch English language TV programs or movies. If you don’t know how to improve speaking skills, you can join an English club or take part in the English corner to practice speaking English. Writing new words in a notebook and studying them whenever you are is a good way to memorize new words. Do you have trouble understanding new words while reading? You had better guess their meanings first, then look up the important or difficult words in the dictionary. You can have a pen pal in English-speaking countries or keep a diary in English to improve your writing skills. In the world, everyone has study problems or work problems or life problems. No matter how hard the problem is, we should have a positive attitude to it. Never give up.

When you are reading newspapers, it isn’t necessary to look up all the new words in the dictionary.

注:up是副词,代词it或者them作宾语,只能放在它的前面,而名词作宾语可以放在它的前面或者后面。look it/them up, look up the word=look the word up

Ⅲ key sentences

I realized that it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand every word.

我意识到你如果有些词没有听懂也不要紧。

结构分析:本句是realize引导的一个宾语从句。在宾语从句中有含有if引导的一个条件状语从句。

难点分析:

(1)为什么宾语从句中的主句是一般过去式,而从句仍然是一般现在时态呢?

因为从句表示的是一个客观事实,所以时态不受主句的影响。

The teacher told us Hainan is the second largest island in China.

(2) 为什么don’t understand every word 不译成“不懂每一个单词”呢?

因为not与every, both, all, every-等一起构成的是部分否定。

Not every student in our class is good at English.(Some students are good at English, and some are not.)

Not both buses can take you to the supermarket.

Not all the things on the Internet are good for us.
