■Warm up by doing language practice
Hi, let’s go to page 100. Make a study of the structure of the seven sentences in the box. Then make similar sentences.

Many families create friendships with the students.

The whole class is just behind us.

Many families go to visit the park.
Our school team wins the special prize.
His family is coming to meet you at the railway station.
The whole class is excited.
The group is very interested——everyone in the group is a huge fan!
■ Study agreement of subject and predicate.
1. Singular subjects need singular verbs. Plural subjects need plural verbs.
2. Pronouns such as everyone and everybody seem plural, but they are always singular — so they need a singular verb.
Everyone who worked on the task is a winner.
Someone has to answer the phone.
3. Phrases that come between the subject pronoun and its verb —may contain plural words and confuse.
Each of the basketball players is excited about tonight’s game.
4. Verbs that accompany pronouns such as all and some will be determined by whether the pronoun is referring to something that is COUNTABLE or not.
Some of the workers on the building have left for the day.
Some of the salt was found on the floor.
5. None is usually regarded as singular, but it can be used as a plural pronoun.
None of the boys has helped at the game.
6. Phrases such as together with, along with, and as well as seem to combine subjects, but they do not.
Some of the tile in our room, as well as the hall, was soaked.
The major problem we had, together with that of our teacher, was tardiness.
7. When either and neither appear as a subject alone (without the words or and nor) they are singular.
Either of those answers seems to be right.
You can have the bed by the window or the one by the door. Either is okay with me.
8. The words there and here are never subjects.
Here are the papers you gave me.
Here is my answer.
9. Verbs in the present tense for third-person, singular subjects (he, she, it and anything those words can stand for) have s-endings. Other verbs do not add s-endings.
He asks for help.
She asks for help.
They ask for help.
■Read Around the world.
Turn to page 103. Let’s go on to read Summer camps.
While reading, try to: cut/ the sentence into thought groups, study the predicative, darken the connectives and underline all the useful expressions. (阅读过程中，断开/意群，观察谓语构成，圈出连词，摘录短语搭配。)

Weekend English courses
In China weekend English courses for children are very popular. In cities English courses are provided for pupils and children. The pupils and children attend the courses for one to three hours at weekends and listen and talk in English. In the morning they take a lesson by a native speaker. Then in the afternoon they do reading and writing activities with the help of a Chinese teacher of English. Sometimes they watch films in English.
They learn many useful expressions and words. Often in the evenings, they gather around a pretty woman teacher to sing songs or tell stories in English. For many children and pupils it is the first time they are learning English with a native speaker.
