a sample version: as we all know, the environment is very important to us. we students should do our best to keep the world clean. i have never spat since two years ago. i often pick up some rubbish on the ground. and i have always put rubbish in a plastic bag since one year ago. i have collected things like bottles, plastic lunch boxes for 6 months. i have also tried to recycle some things, but it is really a hard job. anyway, i think i have made some contributions to the protection of our environment.t: you have done a good job. there is a chinese saying: 一日之際在于晨。in english, there is a similar saying: your morning thoughts may determine your conduct for the day. these sayings tell us about the importance of morning. that is to say, a well-organized morning will be followed by a good day. and if you get up late or oversleep, you may have a bad day. don’t you agree?ss: i agree. but it’s really difficult to get up early.t: what time do you usually get up in the morning? s1: i usually get up at six.t: that’s very early. when did you get up this morning?s1: i got up at half past six.t: oh! what happened?s1: my bother got in the shower. t: ok. by the time you got up, your brother had already gotten in the shower, right?write this sentence on the blackboard. by the time you got up, your brother had already gotten in the shower.t: what else happened? s1: my mother cooked in the kitchen.t: ok. by the time you got up, your mother had already cooked in the kitchen. write this sentence on the blackboard. by the time you got up, your mother had already cooked in the kitchen.t: what did you find when you got up this morning, s2?s2: my father had left home.t: so by the time you got up, your father had already left home.write the sentence on the blackboard.by the time you got up, your father had already left home.t: look at the three sentences on the blackboard. they contain the structure we are going to learn today — past perfect tense structure. now will you give some sentences by using this structure? s: by the time i got to the cinema, the film had already begun.by the time i got to the bus station, the bus had already left.when i finally arrived there, she had already gone....t: good. you really did a great job. next, you’ll listen to tina telling her story in the morning. but before that, let’s look at the pictures on page 76. what can you see in the pictures?s1: i can see a girl getting up. i think she gets up later than usual because she looks worried.
