The Fourth Period
●从容说课
T：Of the four periods—listening，speaking，reading and writing，listening is regarded
as the most difficult skill.We are now entering a new era.This new era places new
demands on us.With people communicating with each other frequently，listening plays an
important role in communication.Most students are afraid of listening，why？Because they
find it difficult to learn and get high scores in examinations.That causes them to lose
interest in listening.This period should be designed to arouse students’ interest and
improve their listening skill.At the same time，we should combine it with speaking and
writing.

Step 1
T：Yesterday we learned the grammar-the interchanges of Direct speech and Indirect
speech.We know we usually change the verb tenses and pronoun forms and adverbials in
Indirect speech.But it is not necessary to change the tense when we report things that are
always true.Now let’s do some exercises to see if you have mastered them.Look at the
screen.
（Show the following on the screen.）
T：Turn the following Indirect speech.
1.John said to Tom，“Come to my house tomorrow.”
2.“Could you help me with my homework？” she asked.
3.Mary said to her brother，“Don’t come to the airport to see me off.”
14.The teacher said，“I must go now.”
5.“Why didn’t you stop her？” he asked.
T：Turn the following into Direct speech.
6.She said that she would go there the next day.
7.He asks whether Tom is an Englishman.
8.She said that the earth is round.
9.I asked Tom why he had not told her the truth.
10.His aunt said that she had got there five days before.
Suggested answers：
1.John told Tom to go his house the next.
2.She asked me if I could help her with her homework.
3.Mary told her brother not go to the airport to see her off.
4.The teacher said he had to/must go then.
5.He asked why I hadn’t stopped her.
6.She said，“I will there tomorrow.”
7.He says，“Is Tom an Englishman？”
8.She said，“The earth is round.”
9.“Why didn’t you tell her the truth？”I asked Tom.
10.His aunt said，“I got here five days ago.”
T：I am glad to see you are familiar with this grammar.Now please turn to Page
6.Let’s do some listening.You are going to read a letter from Lisa first.What’s the
problem with her？Read it quickly to find the answer.
S：Lisa’s classmates misunderstood her and her boy friend.
1
S：Lisa thought they had pure friendship，but her classmates thought they fell in love
2
with each other.
T：Quite right.Now Lisa is asking Miss Wang of Radio for Teenagers to give her
some suggestions.Before listening to the tape，please guess what Miss Wang will say to
Lisa.Work in groups of three to have a discussion.
T：Share your ideas with the whole class.
S：Miss Wang will suggest Lisa explain their friendship to her classmates.
1
S：Miss Wang will advise Lisa not to pay more attention to what others say.
2
S ： She will ask Lisa to list some possible reasons for other students’
3
misunderstanding.
T：OK，now let’s listen to the tape.Read questions first.Then check answers with your
partners and later check them with the whole class.
T：Great!Read the requirements in exercise 3 to make sure what main sentences you
should notice.For the second time，fill in the blanks.
T：You are clever.I d like you to listen to another passage about why people write a
diary.Also，first try your best to fill in the blanks and then listen to the tape.After that，
check by yourselves to see how well you finished this exercise and let’s see who is the
top student in this activity.
T：Just now we have learned some information about how to keep friendship with
your friends in a proper way and why a diary can be our friend.But why do people make
friends with one another？We are going to hear what Lesile Clark，a Canadian says.Do
2you agree with her？What do you think of people from foreign countries？Use the
expressions listed to help you express your ideas and reasons.
Step 2
T：We talked much about friends and friendship.How do you evaluate a friend？What
kind of friends are your classmates？Let’s make up a quiz.
Version：1.You’re talking to someone at your locker when you see your friend
approaching.She’s sporting a new hairdo that is a definite don’t.The person you’re with
makes a nasty comment.You
a.announce that you think the style is great and then study it until you find
something about it that you really do like.
b.ignore the comment and find a time to gently break it to your friend that she
might want to try something else.
c.agree with the comment.After all，the style is awful.
T：That’s all for discussion.Now let’s learn some language points.First，pay attention to
phrases：get along well with，have some trouble with，fall in love，hate doing，try out，make
a questionnaire.（Write them on the blackboard.） Then we’ll learn a sentence pattern：That
way you will show them that you are more（Write it on the blackboard.） Now look at
their usages.（Show the following on the screen and explain them.） Would you please
make up sentences using them？
S：How are you getting along in school？
1
S：Don’t you hate people who gossip about their friends？
2
S：She fell in love with the dress as soon as she saw it.
3
S：Try out the brakes before you drive down a hill.
4
S：We have much trouble with English pronunciation.
5
T：We can use it in the following structure：
（1）have some/much/little/no difficulty/trouble in doing sth.
（2）There is little difficulty/trouble in doing sth.
T：Look at the usage of “the way”.
This is the way （that/in which） he did it.
I don’t like the way you solved the problem.
