Step 1 Review 第一步 复习 (时间:12分钟)
T: Yesterday I told you to write an article about the population problem. Now I’ll check your homework.
Please read your article in groups, then choose the best one and share it with us.
(学生很快会推选出优秀作品，教师选择其中一篇来读。)
(教师读学生作文，并引出新课内容。)
T: Let’s enjoy the article. I think it’s excellent.
Listen carefully. Then I’ll ask you some questions.
For example:
China has the largest population in the world. It is nearly one-fifth of the population in the world. So large population brings lots of difficulties.
|
bring lots of
difficulties |
(教师继续朗读学生作文。)
For example, there are too many people here and there. The traffic is too heavy. People have few places to live in. But luckily, China has known the serious problem. So China has come up with some ways to control the population.
(教师停顿解释，引出本课短语，让同学感知。)
“Come up with some ways” means “do something”， so this sentence can be changed into:“China has done something to control the population.”
(教师继续朗读学生作文。)
One-child policy makes the population slow down. China’s economy grows faster and people’s living conditions are improving rapidly. Most of the families can give their children a chance to have a good education.
(教师讲解，引出新词。)
“give their children a chance to have a good education” we can also say:“offer their children a good education.”
(板书)
|
offer |
“offer” means “give sb.sth.” or “give sth.to sb.”.
(教师继续朗读作文。)
But the population problem is still serious in China.
(教师点评:并提出几个简单问题，引导同学回答。)
