3. 在这一单元中出现的话题是“讨论如何学习”。
这个话题既有趣又实用，既能锻炼我们的口语表达能力，又能使我们学到一些实用
的方法，对自身的学习大有帮助。如何向别人请教学习方法呢？又如何回答呢？
请诵读下面的目标句型：
How do you study English? （运用特殊疑问句）
I study by listening to cassettes. （听录音带）
I study by studying with a group. （和小组一起学习）
by watching English programs on TV. （看英语电视节目）
by enjoying English songs. （听英文歌）

What about listening to cassettes? ［用 what about ＋动名词 提问］
I do that sometimes. I think it helps.
4. 学会评价各种学习方法的优劣（Comment on the ways of learning English）
看到了上面各种各样的学习方法，有些眼花缭乱。其实，并不是所有的方法都适合
自己。我们要学会判断、评价，然后才能选择最适合自己的.用哪些语言才能表达自己
的评价呢？请看下面的目标句型：
I think studying English by …is…because …
如：I think studying English by working with a group is a good way because
you can ask others when you have questions.
I think surfing the internet is a bad way because you have to use a computer
and always waste your time.
这个句型较长是个复合句，出现了由 because 引导的原因状语从句。进入初三
后，我们在写作表达时，要避免再使用仅仅由 because 引导的句子，而要写完整的句子。
如：不能写 Because I slept late . 意思不完整，不清晰
要写成 I missed the early bus because I slept late .
这样，有原因，有结果，才是完整的句子。
5. 找出自己在英语学习中的困难（Find out your own difficulties in learning
English）
要选择适合自己的学习方法，还必须清楚自己的困难所在，然后才能有的放矢。
learning English can be difficult . What things are difficult for you ?
我们如何来表达自己学习中遇到的困难呢？如何给出建议呢？请诵读下面的目
标句型：说出困难：
I have a problem. I can’t remember the new words.
I can’t pronounce some of the words.
I can’t understand spoken English.
I always make mistakes in grammar.
I read very slowly.
I don’t know how to speak English well.
给出建议：
You should read English aloud.
Listening can help.
Why don’t you join an English language club to practice speaking?
Would you mind remembering new words by flashcards?
Please try to talk with your friends in English as much as possible.
（请注意不同句式的运用）
6. 选择适合自己的学习方法（Choose your suitable learning ways）
通过以上各个环节的学习，我们终于可以完成最后的目标:选择适合自己的方
法。
如何表达呢？目标句型如下：（注意要给出原因，练习使用 because）
I (don’t) think I can study English by … , because …
（1）I think I can study English by listening to English songs because
I love music too.
（2）I don’t think I can get an English tutor because I want to learn
by myself at home.
找到适合自己的方法，写出至少五句。
（六）3a in Section A 疑难解释
eg. He asked his mother to buy him a new bicycle.
他请求他母亲给他买一辆新自行车。
1.
2. Many said they learnt by using English .
许多（学生）说他们通过使用英语来学习。
Many 在这里是代词，而不是形容词，意为 Many students.
Many is a large number of something.
例如：We can put away many of these plates . We don’t need this many.
我们可以把许多盘子收起来，用不着这么多。
eg. I felt frustrated at that time. 那时，我觉得很沮丧。
类似的还有:
请同学们在学习中注意收集.
4. not at all 根本不，全然不
eg. My brother did not like the scarf at all.
not 经常可以和助动词结合在一起，at all 则放在句尾
5. get excited 变得兴奋起来 get 是系动词，有“逐渐变得”的含义
get + adj
eg. get mad 生气 get clear 变得清楚了
The long journey got the children all tired.
长途旅行使得孩子们疲惫不堪。
6. end up doing sth 终止做某事，结束做某事 后面加动名词短语
相当于 finish doing sth.
但要注意与 stop doing sth. 的区别
3.
eg. We had to stop singing because somebody knocked at the door.
另外，end up with … 以…结束
The party ended up with her singing. 晚会以她的歌唱而告终。
7. 在 3a 中，出现了大量的动名词。我们有必要了解动名词的结构及用法，动名词
即动词的 ing 形式，相当于名词，在句子中可以做主语、宾语、表语定语等。
eg.
（1）I think that doing lots of listening practice is one of the secrets
of learning.
doing …为动名词短语，做从句中的主语，而 listening 做定语，修饰 practice.
（2）I’m enjoying learning English . （动名词短语做宾语）
（3）Seeing is believing 眼见为实（Seeing 做主语，believing 做表语）
（七）3a in Section B 疑难解析
1. First of all , it wasn’t easy for me to understand the teacher.
首先，对我而言，听懂老师的话并不容易。
first of all 首先
It is (was) …for sb to do sth .
在这个句型中，不定式做真正的主语，it 是形式主语。
2. 一些词组
laugh at sb 嘲笑某人
take notes 记笔记
enjoy doing sth 乐意做某事
be impressed 深受感动的
3. 在这篇文章中，出现了许多表示顺序或承接的连词或词组。这些词使全文流畅、
生动、层次清晰，条理清楚。在写作中，正确使用连接词，会使文章增色不少，提高档
次。在文章中，出现的词有：
first of all 首先
to begin with 一开始
later on 后来、随
also 也、而且（用于肯定句）
either 也（用于否定句）
so 因此
then 然后
