| Unit 2 I used to be afraid of the dark. Sections A & B |
主编：黄冈中学英语集体备课组
Step 1 The introduction
People sure change, especially children and teenagers. Do you know how to express the changes? From Section A and Section B, we know that we can describe the changes in appearances, personality or interests using “used to”. For example, in my class some students used to be short, but now they are tall. Some students used to be shy, but now they are outgoing. Some students used to like playing sports, but now they are interested in music. Some students used to be weak in English, but at present their English has improved a lot.

注意chat的过去式、过去分词的拼写：chatted, chatted
5．daily adj. 日常的；每日的

2．go to sleep 入睡；睡着

拓展：和睡觉有关的表达有：go to bed, go to sleep, get to sleep, fall asleep, be asleep。他们的区别是什么呢？
（1）go to bed意思是“上床睡觉”，表示准备睡觉的动作。
（2）go to sleep/get to sleep/fall asleep 意思是“入睡”。都是表示进入睡眠的状态。
（3）be asleep意思是“睡着的”，和be awake相对应。
After finishing homework I went to bed, but I didn’t fall asleep until midnight.

Ⅲ key sentences
1．I go to sleep with the bedroom light on.
我睡觉时卧室里灯是开着的。
结构分析：with the bedroom light on在句子中作伴随状语。
拓展：with + sth. + adv. / prep./adj./doing/done结构都可以作伴随状语。

People in Brazil never went out with their hair wet.
The house shook with stones falling down the wall.
He was listening to music with eyes shut.
2．My biggest problem is that I am too busy.
我最大的问题是我太忙了。
难点：（1）这是一个什么从句？
（2）连接词可以省略掉吗？
解答：（1）英语中从句是按照它在句中所作的成分来命名的。句中that I am too busy位于be动词之后，be动词属于系动词，所以它是表语从句。
（2）表语从句中的连接词都不能省掉。宾语从句中的that或者定语从句的关系代词that作宾语时，可以省掉。
My hope is that my son can study in Peking University.
Our biggest problem is that we have too much homework.
Ⅳ Grammar used to的用法
1．used to意思是“过去常常，曾经”。后面接动词原形。
Helen used to wear school uniforms on weekdays.
He used to be short.
2．谓语带有used to的各种句式变化。
（1）肯定句：Maira used to go to school by bike.
（2）否定句：变否定句时，既可以在used的后面直接加not。或者加上didn’t, used改为use。
①Maira used not to go to school by bike.
②Maira didn’t use to go to school by bike.
（3）一般疑问句：既可以在句首加上Did，used改为use。也可以将used提到句首。
①Did Maria use to go to school by bike?
②Used Maria to go to school by bike?
（4）特殊疑问句：疑问词后面加did，used 改为use。或者在疑问词后加上used。
①How did Maia use to go to school？
②How used Maia to go to school?
但是我们通常都是借用did来进行各种句式的变化。
拓展：be used to意思是“习惯于……”。后面可以接名词，代词或者动名词。
I am used to the new school life.
Is your brother used to getting up early?
