Have a competition: Make sentences after the model.

Inquiry into knowledge by translation
Ask students to look at the following sentences and try to summarize the language rules and fill in the blanks. The students can help each other and have a discussion after doing the following by themselves.
一、Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement.
____________________________________________________
have to do with 的意思是“____________”，“have something / nothing to do with”意为“_______________”。如：
①那件事情与我无关。_____________②有些疾病与生活习惯有关。______________
二、Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common.
_______________________________________________________________________
1. 句中although的意思是“___________”，相当于单词 ___________， 引导让步状语从句，主句中不使用but。如：
①虽然我们都很累了，但没有人停下来休息。__________________________________
②虽然没有成功，但他尽力了。__________________________
2. have …… in common 的意思是“_________”，共同之处的多少通过have后的词语表示。如something，nothing，two things，many等。如：
①我们没有共同之处。__________________________
②发展中国家有很多共同之处。
The developing countries have ____________ in common.
三、People hardly ever keep them. _______________________________________
hardly意为“________”，用来表示 ____________ 含义，特别是在反义疑问句中，要注意反义部分使用肯定形式，如：
①They could hardly hear him, __________?
②There are hardly any living things on the moon, _________?
四、Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep.
__________________________________________________________
too …… to 意为“_________________”，该句型可以用so …… that 表述，所以上句话可以表示为：
Sometimes the resolutions may be so difficult that few people can keep them.
①我太累了走不动了。__________________________ = _____________________________
②那树太高了，没人能爬上去。_____________________ = ___________________________
（设计意图：本节课的翻译探究先让学生自己做，然后在组内讨论。组内学生如果能把答案都讨论出来并展示，教师用语言给予鼓励表扬，若解决不出，看其他组有能解决的吗，最后老师再点拨。而且配有句子可以更好地帮助学生理解知识点。）

Homework
Read and recite the passage in 2b.
本课亮点：
1. 在新课开始时的“句子竞赛活动”要求学生在模仿成句的基础上，联系生活实际，表达真实的意义。它实现了学生灵活复习所学语言的目的，学生的思维层次也能得到发展。分组进行比赛还能活跃课堂气氛，让学生积极地进入课堂学习状态。接着，通过让学生谈论自己去年的新年决心并做与此有关的报告而导入新课，既与上节课所学内容有关又与本课短文内容紧密相连，起到了承上启下的作用。
2. 在任务二中让学生仔细阅读短文，画出每一段的关键句，然后再和方框中的段意进行匹配；在任务三中读这七个问题，带着问题去读短文。在短文中划出相关问题的依据，并作出回答。这些方法指导为后进生指明了学习方向。
在学生完成任务三后让他们大声朗读问题和答案，进而不看课本两人一组进行问答，提高了他们的口语表达能力，为读后活动中的短文复述打下了基础。读后活动中的思维导图帮组学生理清了短文结构，为学生从哪些方面复述短文提供了依据，对后进生来说作用很大。
3. 翻译探究环节，引导学生主动观察、思考、归纳和掌握语言规律，并借助典型习题，有针对性地突破重难点知识，从而达到学以致用。
4. 对学生进行情感教育，教育学生在日常生活中下决心做什么是很有必要的，并且要严格执行知己的决定，让它们变成现实。
不足之处：
复述短文暂用时间太长，从而导致时间紧张，读后活动没能很好地照顾到后进生。以后在关注后进生的同时还要注意时间分配的灵活调控。
使用建议：
1. 本课可以采用小组合作，分组竞争的方法，激发学生积极参与课堂活动的热情。
2. 注重及时性评价，尤其关注每组中的后进生同学，及时地鼓励学生，增强学生英语学习的自信心。部分后进生不会复述短文时，教师可以给他们提供译文，让他们看着译文复述。
