step i lead-in
grammar
t: good morning, boys and girls! today we’re going to learn a new grammar. now i’ll write down 5 sentences on the blackboard, and please write them down on your notebook, too. then tell me the similarity between them.
s: ok.
show the following.
1. it’s interesting to watch a movie.
2. it’s not hard to learn english.
3. i am surprised to see you here.
4. we need to finish our homework every day.
5. hongkong is a good place to buy things.
6. the surprising thing was to hear that bad news.

step ii explanation
first encourage students to tell the similarity between the sentences.
show the following.
1. to + v. 2. it’s + adj. + to do 3. need to do sth. 4. be to do sth.
t: we can see that the above sentences all include “to + v”. in fact they are in the same family, and they are called “infinitive”. (write “infinitive” down and ask students to use a red pen to emphasize the infinitives). now look at the first sentence. can you give me more examples?
s: it’s good to eat vegetables.
s: it’s sad to hear the accident.
s: it’s nice to see you here. it’s easy to learn math. it’s right to tell the truth.
