（3）日常交際用語：Let me talk to you.

（4）語音知識：/u:/ u, oo /u/ u, oo, out /u[/ ure, ua
能力目標(biāo)：
（1）使學(xué)生能聽懂與課文難度相當(dāng)?shù)亩涛�，并能回答教師提出的問題。
（2）使學(xué)生能讀懂課文并能根據(jù)上下文判斷出課文生詞的大意，回答課后的問題。
（3）使學(xué)生能熟練運用形容詞和副詞的比較級和最高級的變化和相關(guān)句型進(jìn)行口頭和筆頭練習(xí)。
（4）使學(xué)生能運用本課所授交際用語討論中美農(nóng)場的差別和農(nóng)村和城市的差別。
情感目標(biāo)
通過教學(xué)，使學(xué)生領(lǐng)略到農(nóng)村大自然的清新、淳樸。
通過教學(xué)使學(xué)生樹立志向，認(rèn)真學(xué)習(xí)知識，投身事業(yè)。
教學(xué)建議
教學(xué)重點：形容詞副詞比較級和最高級的用法和相關(guān)句型，本單元重點詞組。
教學(xué)難點 ：多音節(jié)和少數(shù)雙音節(jié)形容詞和副詞的比較級和最高級形式和少數(shù)不規(guī)則變化。
學(xué)法指導(dǎo)
本單元的主要話題是比較中國的農(nóng)場和美國的農(nóng)場，同時也將農(nóng)村與城市的生活進(jìn)行比較。這是一個將形容詞和副詞的比較級派上用場的語境。因此，可采用研究式學(xué)習(xí)方式，比較法、操練法相結(jié)合的學(xué)習(xí)。同學(xué)們可結(jié)合已學(xué)的顏色、季節(jié)、食物、運動等名詞開展自由討論，熟練以上的句型。
語法建議
（1） 情景教學(xué)，教師可以使用圖片展示運動員在運動場上的情景如跑步，賽車等活動，讓學(xué)生先運用形容詞比較級和最高級的相關(guān)句型對運動員進(jìn)行描述再運用副詞的比較級和最高級的相關(guān)句型對運動情景進(jìn)行口頭和筆頭的描述。
如圖1.
What colour is the car?
Do you like the cars?
Which car is faster?
Which car is the most beautiful?
如圖2
Is the second sports man taller than the first one?
Who is the tallest of the three
Which one is running faster?
Which one is running the fastest?
Who looks younger?
Is the first one running the most quickly?
（2）先復(fù)習(xí)前一單元所學(xué)的形容詞比較級與最高級的構(gòu)成和使用，用old, small,到y(tǒng)oung等詞進(jìn)行復(fù)習(xí)檢測，然后將這些詞變成beautiful, interesting, exciting等詞進(jìn)行本單元的重點內(nèi)容講解。具體方法可以通過實物、圖片或簡筆畫對兩種或兩種以上的東西進(jìn)行對比。
（3）在引入本課語法項目時，教師可以先出示一些形容詞和副詞，請幾個學(xué)生在黑板上寫出這些詞的比較級形式和最高級形式，其它學(xué)生在筆記本上寫。這些詞中有一些不規(guī)則的動詞和多音節(jié)詞。然后對學(xué)生的錯誤進(jìn)行糾正，加深學(xué)生印象，再幫助學(xué)生自己總結(jié)規(guī)律，并列出此表。
1）不規(guī)則的動詞變化表
原級
比較級最高
最高級
Good/well
Bad/badly
Many/much
Little
Far
Old
better
worse
more
less
farther
further
older
elder
best
worst
most
least
farthest
furthest
oldest
eldest
2）在多音節(jié)和部分雙音節(jié)的形容詞和副詞前加上more 或most。
有關(guān)第13課的導(dǎo)入
（1）導(dǎo)語 。上次我們一起度過了中秋節(jié)。今天我們?nèi)マr(nóng)場看一看。此時教師讓學(xué)生先閉上眼睛。教師播放事先準(zhǔn)備好的錄音播放，如鳥叫，羊叫等聲音。同時出示放大圖片選自課本16頁圖1，制造出一種身臨其境的氛圍。
（2）圖畫內(nèi)容簡介。教師可以就圖片內(nèi)容進(jìn)行提問：What is this? It is a picture of a farm. What is on the farm? There are some dogs, some cows, hills, and some trees and so on 。此時，利用圖片講解部分新單詞。
（3）組織學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)對話。教師也可以播放媒體動畫，制造情景。內(nèi)容詳見本單元媒體素材中的動畫。
口語訓(xùn)練建議
（1）本單元的口語訓(xùn)練應(yīng)側(cè)重于運用形容詞和副詞的比較級的相關(guān)句型介紹比較中美農(nóng)場的異同和農(nóng)村與城市的差異，教師組織學(xué)生就兩個主題進(jìn)行討論，在討論之前要求學(xué)生先要熟練掌握課文內(nèi)容，否則學(xué)生說不出，將起不到預(yù)期的效果。
（2）教師也可以讓學(xué)生將第14課的課文改編成一個對話，然后再練習(xí)。
例如：
Jone: Where do you live?
Ji Wei :I live on a farm. What about you?
JOne: I live on a farm too. What is your farm like?
Ji wei: The farm isn’t big. My parents grow rice and wheat. The sky is blue and the hill is green. Jone: Do you like it?
Ji Wei: Certainly. Can you tell me something about your farm?
Jone: On my farm, there is a lake. I always go fishing there in the summer and skating there in the winter. We always grow corn and wheat. Which do you like better, the country or the city?
Ji wei: I think the country is more beautiful than the city. In the city, I can’t hear the animals. In the country I can hear birds sing and sheep bleating.
Jone: I agree with you.
語音教學(xué)建議
oo組合在單詞中的發(fā)音規(guī)律不明顯，建議教師自己總結(jié)規(guī)律如：
A good cook looks book. 一個好廚師看書。這些詞中的 oo組合都發(fā)短元音/u /的音，便于學(xué)生記憶。
詞匯教學(xué)
人教社教學(xué)用書p35-36的詞匯教學(xué)dingbat可以與該單元語法重點（比較級與最高級）相結(jié)合進(jìn)行。如：
1）A dingbat is something that is more beautiful than all the paper flowers and dry flowers.(It is the real/ fresh flower.
2)A dingbat is something that goes fatster than the bike and the truck,but it is something that goes more slowly than the plane.(It is the car)
3)You like fresh and clean air, so a dingbat is something that you like better than the city.(It is the country)
4)A dingbat is something that is good at keeping the home, you like it better than the cat or the chicken.(It is the dog)
