What day was yesterday? 和 What is the date today? What was the date yesterday? 并以完全和缩略两种形式，把每天的日期都写在黑板上，如January 20th, 2003, Jan. 20th, 2003, 也可让值日生自己写，以加深学生们的印象。   2. 利用常见句型，练习反意疑问句。   先让学生观察一些句子，老师可事先用投影写好一些句子，条件较好的班级也可由老师口头朗读这些句子，如：   It’s fine today, isn’t it?  Yes, it is.   You’re from Japan, aren’t you?  Yes, I am.   让学生总结反意问句的构成，以及它的回答方式。   日常交际用语建议   1．让学生相互询问生日，朋友的生日、父母的生日、值日生报告等，练习年月日的表达。   教学完日期的表达方法后，应要求值日生每天进行这样的问答：What’s the date today? What was the date yesterday?等。这是复习巩固日期表达法的最好的途径。   2．通过编对话、描述等练习四季天气的表达。   可利用书上的彩图，教师平时要从画报上选择一些图片，做为补充。这项工作也可发动学生帮助完成。还可利用南北半球的气候差异做比较将会引起学生的兴趣。指着中国和澳大利亚的地图让学生自己根据教材内容进行总结其差异及各自季节特点。   Which month is the coldest / hottest in China / Australia?   Can Australians have snow on New Year’s Day? 反意疑问句   反意疑问句（The Disjunctive Question）又叫附加疑问句，它表示提问的人对所提的事有一定的看法，但没有把握，需要对方来证实。反意疑问句由两部分组成：前一部分是一个陈述句，表示提问者的看法。后一部分是一个简短的附加疑问句，对前部分陈述句中所陈述的内容提出疑问。反意疑问句后半部分的附加疑问句应与前部分的陈述句在人称以及时态上保持一致。反意疑问句的基本结构有以下两种：   1．陈述部分肯定式+疑问部分否定式？   2．陈述部分否定式+疑问部分肯定式？   例：They work hard, don’t they?   She was ill yesterday, wasn’t she?   You didn’t go, did you?   He can’t ride a bike, can he?   大多数反意疑问句的结构是和上面所说的一样，但也有些特殊的反意疑问句：   一、当陈述部分的主语是I, everyone, everything, nobody等词时，后面的附加疑问句一般这样来表示：   1. I am a student, aren’t I ?   2. Everyone is in the classroom, aren’t they?   3. Everything begins to grow in spring, doesn’t it?   4. Nobody will go, will they?   二、当陈述部分有never, seldom, hardly, few, little 等含有否定意义的词语时，附加疑问句多用肯定式。如：   1. He has never been to(去过、到过) Nanchang, has he?   2. There are few apples in the basket, are there?   3. He can hardly swim, can he?   4. They seldom come late, do they?   三、当陈述部分是I think加宾语从句时，后面的附加疑问句应和宾语从句中的人称和时态保持一致。如：   I think chickens can swim, can’t they?   I think Lucy is a good girl, isn’t she?   四、当陈述部分有had better时，附加疑问句应用hadn’t开头。如：   You’d better get up early, hadn’t you?   五、当陈述部分是祈使句时，附加疑问句部分有不同的形式，并多使用肯定来表示有礼貌的请求。如：   Let’s go out for a walk, shall we?   注意：Let us go out for a walk, will you?   Turn on the radio, will you?   六、反意疑问句的回答用yes或no，但是当陈述部分是否定式，附加疑问句部分是肯定句时，答语中使用yes或no则应根据事实来决定，事实是肯定的用yes，事实是否定的就用no。如：   They don’t work hard, do they? 他们工作不太努力，是吗？   简略回答：   Yes, they do. 不，他们工作努力。   No, they don’t. 是的，他们工作不努力。   另外，朗读反意疑问句时要注意：前面的陈述部分通常用降调朗读，而后面的附加疑问句部分则要根据说话人的口气来定：如果是很客气地要求对方回答，就用升调朗读，如果只表示一种语气上的强调，则用降调朗读。   分析in, on 和at 的用法   表示年、月、季节、星期等用in: in a year / season / month / week / the morning / the      afternoon / the evening /   They have four classes in the morning, and they have no classes in the afternoon.   表示日、日期、某一天的早晨、下午等用on: on a day / date, on Sunday / Saturday on Wednesday morning, on the evening of March 7th, 2002   It rained heavily on the evening of June 20th.   表示几点、某个时刻用at：at eight / two / half past one / at this time yesterday / at this time of year / at that time / at present   He was watching TV at this time yesterday.   零介词：this year, last time, next month, the next day，all the year round, all the day, the whole day等。   Their family are going to fly to London next month.   At 还有一些特殊的用法，如：at work, at table，at hand, at once, at last, at home, at the same time   at once 立刻   His father telephoned him to return home at once.   at hand 不远，快到   Autumn is nearly over. Winter is at hand.   at most 最多   He looks very old, but in fact he is forty at most.   日期的表达与询问   日期表达   由于书写习惯的不同，英语里日期的写法也有差异。美国人习惯先说日期后说月份，英国人则习惯先说月份后说日期，但年份均是放在最后。书写日期时，可用阿拉伯数字表示，也可用序数词的缩略式（1st 、2nd 、4th ）表示，但是年份只能用阿拉伯数字。如1999年3月2日可表达为2 (nd) March, 1999（读作the second of March, nineteen ninety-nine）或March 2(nd), 1999（读作March the second, nineteen ninety-nine）。   日期询问   1.几月几日的询问方法   a.

These are common ways of starting a conversation in England.   Many people think that they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But they hardly ever agree with each other.

We’re going to have fine weather tomorrow.”   People often look for the weather they want. When farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell himself that it's going to rain. When people play in a park on a rainy day, they are sure that the weather is going to be fine soon.
