教学建议

课文建议
　　在Lesson 38课，建议教师应组织学生1）以节目的形式演出这段对话。2）教师可选取录像或多媒体形式完成此课的教学任务。3）教师把学生分成三人一组，适当准备一些道具排演本课的最后结局的短剧。4）教师要求学生找出能刻画服装店老板人物特征和心理变化的相关语句。如：There’s a customer, Tod, Will you serve him? / No matter what he is wearing , Tod, just show him the cheapest./Come, come. Get him his change, Tod..

对话分析
　　本单元对话是讲述在服装店调换衣服的经过，学生对其内容较易理解，但一些新单词的用法应掌握，如：customer, run, insist, change…for…。本课中也提供了给学生做相应对话的练习，如：A pair of trousers, A radio的口语练习。
