Have a good time

boy was often late for school.
　　He couldn't remember where he put his book.
　　Could you tell us where we'll have the meeting.
　　Her husband didn't tell her when he would be back.
　　The girl doesn't know when she must finish her homework.

　　同时指出，带有how的词组也可以引导宾语从句。例如：
　　Could you tell us how often you go abroad for holiday?
　　Could you tell us how long the meeting will last?
　　Do you know how far it is to the cinema?
　　Do you know how many students there are in your school?
　　Please tell us how much your new blouse cost.
　　Please tell us how soon you will be back.
　　Can you tell us how old his brother is ?

　　同时应当向学生讲清楚，如果原句是一般疑问句，注意它在复合句中应当用if/whether来引导，语序也应当由原来的一般疑问句语序改为陈述句语序。
　　最后，让学生参考下面的例句来进行宾语从句的操练。
　　1. A: Please tell me why you were late for school this morning.
　　 　B: I got up too late and didn't catch the first bus. So I was late.
　　2. A: We don't know what we shall buy for my mother for her birthday.
　　 　B: What about a new scarf.
　　3. A: Can you tell me where I should change planes?
　　 　B: Look at your air ticket and you'll find the answer.
　　4. A: Do you know what I have to take with me for the trip?
　　 　B: Your camera, of course.
　　5. A: Could you tell me how I can find No. 3 Middle School, Madam?
　　 　B: Sorry! I don't know. Please ask the policeman over there.

关于读写能力的教学建议

一、 阅读训练
　　根据中学英语教学大纲的规定，在初中阶段，阅读能力的提高是相当重要的一项能力训练。要提高阅读理解的能力，原因是多方面的。但是有几点是十分关键的，其一，词汇，这是解决阅读语言障碍的基本保证；其二，提高阅读的速度，提高阅读速度是提高阅读效率的一个重要前提。其三，阅读技能，阅读技能的提高是阅读能力提高的一条捷径。在本单元我们重点介绍有关阅读的基本技能的训练。

　　在阅读过程中，时刻牢记五个"W"和一个"H"。在任何一个故事，一则新闻或一篇文章中，作者总是要向读者说明何人何时何地为什么怎么干了何事。用英语表示就是who, when, what, where, why 以及how。这就是我们说的五个"W"和一"H"。

　　在多数情况下，可以用五个"W"和一个"H"为线索来阅读任何一篇文章。因为作者采用多种方式来交代这条线索，或明或暗，在阅读理解的题目中，或部分或全部的考查这方面的信息。因此，只要牢牢抓住这五个方面的信息，就有可能抓住文章的脉络，弄清基本事实，养成良好的阅读习惯，逐步提高我们的阅读能力。

　　根据课文的内容，尽可能的设计一些问题，让学生在有限的时间内进行解答，并引导同学们在小组之间开展合作式学习，相互讨论相互启发。同时也可以充分利用课后练习中的问题，让学生两人之间进行讨论。

　　也可以结合第18课课文的内容，仿照课文，鼓励学生上网查询，以获取更多的相关信息，然后把内容带到班上来与同学进行"资源共享。"在有条件的学校，可以充分地利用这一资源。这是一条重要的学习策略，同学们不应当忽视。

二、写作训练
　　请用英语写一篇值日汇报，向你的同学们介绍一个你去过的农场（农村）。

　　[思路讲解]
　　做值日汇报，先要问候大家。告诉同学们你要介绍那是谁的农场（农村的位置）、它的大小。在那里有些什么庄稼、植物，还有哪些动物？有没有小河、湖泊？ 你能在那儿干些什么？你最喜欢的是什么？

　　[范例点评]
　　Hello, everyone!（一般的问候语）
　　Today I'm going to tell you something about a farm. This is my uncle's farm.（交代谁的农场） It is in a small village near Nanjing.（地理位置）It is a big farm.（大小） My uncle and aunt grow rice and corn on the farm.（庄稼） And they also have many animals there. They have dogs, cows, chickens, sheep and horses.（动物）But they don't use the animals to do farm work any more; they use a tractor. It works faster and better.（农场的现代化）The farm is also very beautiful. There are a lot of flowers on the farm. And you can hear birds singing and sheep bleating（羊叫）. There is also a small river on the farm. We can catch fish there or go skating in winter. (美丽的农场令人向往) I love my uncle's farm and I often go there to spend my holiday. Do you want to go with me next time?
　　That's all. Thank you.（结束语，与前面相呼应）
