Saving the earth(The Third Period)
6. only with better education will people be able to build a better society in harmony with nature.
7. seldom do we think of the small changes that we can do to make a big difference.
8. never have i realised that water is so precious.
(then teacher deals part in grammar.)
t: all right. now let's come to the second part. complete the following sentences
using the words in the box: so, neither, nor, as. at the same time, you should pay attention to the verb form before the subject. first do it individually. then check your answers with your partner. at the end, i'll ask some of you to read the whole sentence.
suggested answers:
1. so/as have 2. neither/nor should
3. so/as do 4. so/as am 5. neither/nor do
6. so/as is 7. neither/nor 8. neither/nor can
9. so/as can
(after checking the answers, teacher says the following. )
t: from these sentences, we know the verb-form after “so, neither, nor, as”
should be the same as the verb-form after the first subject. the person and
number should agree with its own subject. is that so?
ss: yes.
step vi summary and homework
t: now, let's look at what we've learnt in this period. at the beginning of class, we revised the contents of the last class. then we did some exercises to further
study some learnt words in the text. at the end, we learnt the usage of inversion. to master it better, we also did some exercises. but that's not enough. i hope you can practise more after class. the more you practise, the greater progress you will make. so much for this period. see you tomorrow.
ss: see you tomorrow !
