教学建议
教材分析
本单元通过课堂上值日报告和介绍uncle Wilson工作情况这两个主题，使学生对一般过去时有了初步的了解,并初步掌握了一般过去时基本的结构。每一部分都既有一般现在时的句子，又有一般过去时的句子，主要是加强时态的对比，帮助学生区分两种时态意义上的差别和结构上的差别，每一部分的设计都是由简单到复杂，由易到难，教师在教学的过程中也应注意循序渐进。
语法教学建议
（1）一般过去时的导入
教师可以事先准备好一个放大的日历（如书上36页图），上课时指着日历向学生介绍This is a calendar. Today is November the fourteenth. （指着November the fourteenth.） 接着指着后面紧靠着的日子告诉学生这是tomorrow。同样的办法可以讲解yesterday, the day before yesterday, last Sunday, three days ago。
然后，在黑板上出示句子：Today is Thursday, November the fourteenth. Tomorrow is November the fifteenth. Yesterday is November the thirteenth。告诉学生为什么yesterday, the day before yesterday后面不用is 而用was。
最后，教师可以分别指着其它另几个日期提问：What day is it today? What day is it tomorrow? What day was it yesterday? What day was it the day before yesterday? What day was it three days ago?
（2）有关时态的练习：使用媒体资料进行练习，教师可以让学生根据屏幕上的提示词, 叙述班日志上的内容。
（3）教师可以把Linda的旅行过的地点的图片贴在黑板上，然后在下面标出日期：The day before yesterday, tomorrow, three days ago, yesterday, a moment ago, just now，要求学生使用所学句型写出Linda在那些地方呆过，并把上述句子按照时间顺序排列成短文。
（4）建议教师在讲解一般过去时的时候，使用卡片组句的方法帮助学生练习句子结构。具体步骤如下：
A：教师准备一些单词卡片，一类是主语。包括各种人称和数。如；you , I, my brother, Mary’s parents 二类是be 动词的各种形式如：(am ,was, were, are, is)三类是各种地点,如（the school, home, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin ,bank, theater, office ）四类是时间，如yesterday, the day before yesterday, last Sunday, three days ago等。五类是句号和问号。
B：将学生分成若干组，每组五人。一个组员选取一类卡片，大家再将五张卡片组成一个语法正确，意义的完整句子。（每组必须组成一个一般疑问句）在单位时间内选取的句子多的组为胜。
（5）教师可以先分别将be 动词的各种形式写和几个时间状语（如yesterday, the day before yesterday, two bays ago, last Monday, always, often ）在几张卡片上，卡片正面上写出am is are 背面写出它们的过去时，在黑板上写出几个不完整的句子如：I____ at the bus stop ____ ，教师可以轮换出示时间状语，要求学生出示对应的be 动词。此练习教师可以逐渐加快替换速度，以训练学生反映，培养学生语感。也可以由学生自己练习。
听力教学建议
本单元听力有两个难点
（1）学生往往在听时间的时候反应较慢，教师应先利用日历讲单词，再用日历练单词，练完单词，连成句子。
（2）学生由于对动词的过去式发音不熟悉，常常造成理解上的困难，教师可以抽出时间重点强调一些常见动词的发音，另外，要求学生根据上下文和时间状语进行判断。
口语教学建议
本单元的口语训练内容主要集中在第二十九课和第三十一课。第二十九课中要求学生熟练掌握课堂日常交际用语，要求学生在背诵的基础上根据教师的提示表格进行角色表演。
Time
Student on duty
Student absent
Reason
Yesterday
Li Lang
Tian tian
ill
Today
Zhao Yu
Zhao Hua
Get up late
Tomorrow
LiGang
No one
此后，教师可以在课堂上设立值日生报告制度，给每个学生机会练习。
第三十一课中主要是关于一般过去时的一般疑问句和特殊疑问句的训练，学生可以做几个对句子划线部分提问的练习：
(1)Zhao Lin was at the school gate a moment ago.
(2)The twins were at the museum.
(3)Our teacher was in Tokyo last week.
教师可以在黑板上出示几张照片让学生就画面回答问题：
Who was at Tian An Men Square?
Was Li Liang at the school gate? Where were our classmates yesterday?
I am sorry to hear that.听到这个消息我很难过。
be sorry to do sth意思是对…表示难过和同情，如：
I am sorry to hear that your teacher gave you a lesson yesterday.听说老师训了你一通，我为此表示难过.
I am sorry to hear that you didn’t pass the exam again .sorry 听说你没有考试及格我很难过。
还有一种用法：be sorry for sb or sth.意思是对某人某事表示后悔，如：
I am sorry for the mistakes I have made.我对自己的错误后悔不已。
You must look after yourself and keep healthy. 你必须保重，保持健康的体魄。
look after=take care of “照顾，看管”。例如：
I must stay at home and look after my father. 我必须呆在家里照顾我父亲。
yourself是反身代词，意为“你自己”，作look after的宾语。注意，在使用反身代词时，应与它前面的主语在人称上保持一致。
keep healthy指“保持身体健康”，keep是系动词，后面接形容词，意思是“保持某种状态”。例如：keep quite保持安静 keep warm 保持暖和 keep silent 保持沉默、不讲话
My father always keeps busy. 我的父亲总是闲不住。
She wants to keep thin. 她想保持身材苗条。
“keep +形容词”表示“保持（某种状态），”句中的keep为系动词； Keep sb. + doing sth. 表示“（使某人）不停地做某事”；keep sth. 表示“保存、保管”的意思。
Don’t keep your friend waiting for you for a long time.不要让你的朋友久等。
keep 还有保存保管的意思。
How long can I keep this book?我可以保这本书管多长时间?
分合不同
一、everyday 与every day
1) everyday“日常的、每日的”，是形容词，在句中只作定语。如：
Let’s learn some everyday English. 我们学一些日常英语吧。
2) every day是副词词组，在句中作状语，表示“每天、天天”。如：
We speak English every day. 我们每天讲英语。
二、everyone与every one
1) everyone(=everybody)“每人、人人”。只用来指人，一般不可与of 短语连用。作主语时，谓语动词用单数。如：
Everyone in the village knows him. 村里每个人都认识他。
2) every one“每人（人或物）”。既可指人也可指物，其后常接of短语。作主语时，谓语动词也用单数。如：
Every one of us has the right to work. 我们每个人都有工作的权利
例：我们班人人都喜欢踢足球。
误：Every one is our class likes playing football.
正：Everyone in our class likes playing football.
析：表示某种范围内的“每个人”，常用everyone，后接 “in+集体名词”短语（表示范围）。而every one后接“of+具体名词或代词（复数）”短语，everyone后则不跟of短语。
三、anyone 与 any one
1) anyone(=anybody)泛指“任何人”。作主语时，谓语动词用单数，用于否定句、疑问句及条件句中，对应词为someone. 如：
Has anyone called? 有人打电话吗？
I didn’t meet anyone like you. 我没见过像你这样的人。
2) any one常指某些人或物中的“任何一个”，后面常接of短语。如：
You may tell any one of us. 你可以告诉我们中的任何一个人。
四、maybe和may be
1) maybe “或许、也许”，是副词。相当于perhaps,常用于句首作状语。如：
Maybe our teacher is in his office .可能我们的老师在办公室里。
2) may be “可能是”，是“情态动词+动词原形”结构，在句中作谓语。如：
He may be at home. (=Maybe he is at home)。他可能在家。
五、sometime 与 some time
1) sometime “某一时候”，是副词。指过去或将来的某一时间，作状语。如：
They’ll meet again sometime next month. 下个月的某个时候，他们将再见面。
I bought the new bike sometime last year.我是去年某个时候买的这辆新自行车。
2) some time“一段时间、一些时候”，是名词词组。如：
It will take us some time to finish the work. 完成这项工作要花费我们一些时间。
