教學建議
教材分析
本單元主要教學內容是圍繞談論過去經歷的事情。Lesson 37主題是采訪歌手。Lesson 38是介紹演唱會的過程。there be結構過去時態的陳述句，疑問句及否定句形式是本課的重點。Lesson 39是介紹旅游過的景點。Lesson 40是介紹父輩們的經歷。一般過去時態的教學貫徹始終整個單元。要求教師多創設情景使學生能靈活掌握一般過去時態的用法。
Lesson 37的對話和Lesson 39選擇式對話，突出了一般過去時態疑問句的句式特點，一定要用助動詞did來完成(指的是行為動詞)。Lesson 38和Lesson 40中的兩篇文章“Yesterday’ in concert!”“My father”，不但訓練了我們的閱讀理解能力，而且教我們如何用一般過去時態去寫過去的事情。同時“My father”給我們的單元寫作訓練提供了范例，可讓學生模仿寫一篇家人的文章。
關于37課的建議
在本單元的教學中，教師應以一般過去時態為主，綜合各種時態創設不同情景，提高學生綜合運用語言的能力。此練習可以在完成本課內容后進行。
（1）模擬家訪
情景：教師到蘭藍家去家訪。教師先準備一個家訪提綱如下：
Name: Lan Lan
The past: always forget her homework, sometimes late for school, careless
Now: study hard, never forget her homework, get to school early
學生先進行討論：如果你是家長你怎么問，如果你是老師你怎么回答。
組織學生進行對話如下:
Lan Lan’s father: Hello！
Lan Lan’s teacher: Hello！Are you Lan Lan’s father?
Lan Lan’s father: Yes, I am.
Lan Lan’s teacher: I am Lan Lan’s teacher.
Lan Lan’s father: Glad to meet you.
Lan Lan’s teacher: Glad to meet you too.
Lan Lan’s father: Can you tell me something about Lan Lan?
Lan Lan’s teacher: Ok.
Lan Lan’s father: Did Lan Lan often forget her homework?
Lan Lan’s teacher: Yes. But not now. She always finishes her homework on time.
Lan Lan’s father: Was she often late for school?
Lan Lan’s teacher: Yes, she did in the past. but now she never gets to school late.
Lan Lan’s father: Is she still careless?
Lan Lan’s teacher: No, she studies harder than before.
（2）教師可以組織學生按照課文進行角色表演。
（3）課本的第二部分主要是講解there be結構過去時態的陳述句，疑問句及否定句形式，教師可以將它改編成一段記敘文。如下：
There were four singers in the band last year. There were also some women in it.
But there was a problem at that time. One of the singers wasn’t good. People didn’t like her. There are three singers now. There isn’t a problem any more.
筆頭訓練建議
要求學生能講述一個自己所經歷的故事，教師可以設計一個開頭，如：It was Sunday yesterday. I went to the park with my classmate. It was very hot. On my way to the park I saw an old man walk along the street. Suddenly, he fell down the street 讓學生自由完成后續部分。
根據閱讀課文My father來寫一篇介紹學生家庭成員(grandmother/ grandfather)的文章。讓學生先就課文所提示的問題向他們的祖父母進行調查，這些問題涉及到他們的出生年代，所受教育，婚姻、子女及工作狀況。然后分小組對各人所了解的情況進行討論，以便互相補充和啟發。
關于there be結構的一般過去時的建議
教師在引入時應使用比較法讓學生自己比較下列句子的區別，總結出兩種時態在意義上和在結構上的區別。
（1）There is a book on the desk. There was a book on the desk a moment ago.
（2）There are some apples in the bag. There were some apples on in the bag yesterday.
然后教師在使用實物教學使學生完全掌握此結構。例如教師在桌上放一些實物問What is / are there on the desk? 學生根據實際情況答There is / are …on it. 教師還可問Is there…? Are there…? How many …are there? 并把這些問題寫在黑板上。問答完畢，教師可把桌上的東西收起來，然后問：What was there on the desk a moment ago? Was there…? Were there…? How many …were there? 等問題，可幫助學生回答。
There be 結構與have / has
在英語里表示“什么地方或時間存在什么事物或人”時，要用there be結構。在此結構里，there 是引導詞，本身沒有詞意，be是謂語動詞，be后的名詞是主語，主、謂語的數必須一致，句子的結尾是地點或時間狀語。如：
There is a ruler on the desk.
There are many students on the playground.
在使用這個結構時應注意以下幾點：
1. there be結構變成否定式時，須在動詞be后加not（a / any）或no。變成疑問句時，將be放在there之前，句中如有助動詞時要把助動詞放在there之前，句子其余部分不變。如：
There aren’t any pencils in the pencil-box.
There are no pencils in the pencil-box.
Is there any milk in the bottle?
Will there be a meeting next week.
2. there be結構有兩個并列主語時，要根據就近的主語原則確定謂語是單數還是復數。如：
There is a boy and two girls in the picture.
There are two girls and a boy in the picture.
3. There be 結構中的be可有不同的時態，而且可以和各種助動詞和情態動詞連用。如：
There is going to be a sports meeting in our school in May.
There must have been an accident there. （現在完成時，以后我們會學到的）。
4. there be結構中的謂語動詞be，有時可用seem to be, happen to be, used to be, stand, live等詞或詞組來代替。如：
Once upon a time, there lived in Greece a great thinker named Aristotle.
從前在希臘居住著一位名叫亞里斯多德的偉大思想家。
There seems to be something wrong with you.
There stands a tall tower in the middle of the square. 在廣場中央豎立著一座高塔。
5. 注意there be 結構與have / has 的區別。there be表示“存在有”，而have / has 則強調人或物體本身“具有”（has 只用于第三人稱單數）。如：
My sister has many toys.
China has a long history.
We have a lot of friends.
have / has變成否定式時，應在其后加not或借助于助動詞don’t或doesn’t；變成疑問句時，將have / has提在主語前或借助于助動詞do或does放在主語前。如：
I have not a bottle of orange.
I don’t have a bottle of orange.
Do you have a red pen?
Have you a red pen?
注：I have no Chinese car. =I don’t have a Chinese car.
