Step 8 Reading
1. Read the conversation in 2d and answer the questions.
2. Role – play the conversation.
3. Explain the language pints in 2d.
(1) Go along Main Street until you pass Center Street.
1) until和 till同义为“直到……” ，till多用于口语，until可以放在句首，till则不能放在句首。
2) not...until“直到……才”，表示直到某一时间, 某一行为才发生, 之前该行为并没有发生。
e.g. I did not study English until 9 o'clock last night. 
(2) Pardon? Restroom? You already want to rest? But we haven’t even started yet!
1) pardon用作动词，后面既可以跟宾语，也可以跟双宾语；pardon sb. for doing sth.意为“原谅/宽恕某人做某事”
e.g. Can you pardon me for not passing the exam, Mom?
2) 在没有听懂对方的话，请对方重复一 下时也可说 pardon。
e.g. Pardon? I’m sorry I can’t follow you.
(3) I’m excited to try the rides!
excited和 exciting的区别:
1) excited意为“激动的；兴奋的”，作表语时，主语常是人；作定语时，常用来修饰人，说明激动的表情。
e.g. All of us were excited when we heard the good news. The excited child opened his present quickly.
2) exciting意为“激动人心的”，作表语时，主语通常是物；作定语时，常用来修饰物。
e.g. The movie is very exciting. My father told me an exciting story.
(4) I mean … you know, a washroom or bathroom.
mean作动词有以下含义：
1) 有……的意思，指（多作及物动词），其后可跟名词或代词，也可跟从句。
e.g. What does this word mean?
2）意味（着）（及物动词），常跟名词，有时可跟动词-ing形式或从句。
e.g. Carl really could not do that — it would mean the end of his career.
3）有……意图，打算，想，常跟名词、代词或动词不定式。跟带不定式复合结构时，还可用于被动语态。
e.g. I never meant to hurt you.
(5) We normally say “toilets” or “washrooms”.
normally adv. 正常地; 通常地，一般地
e.g. August is normally a slow month.
(6) Nine thirty, so you don’t need to rush! 
rush v. 仓促; 匆忙  n. 仓促; 匆忙

③ 我想知道公园今天什么时候关门。 ④ 银行和超市之间有一个餐馆。
2) Role-play the conversation in 2d.
Step 2 Presentation
1) Show a picture of fun park. Ask students: Are you excited to try these in the fun park?
2) Show a ride to them and say: How do you think the ride? Is it fun or scary? Do you want to have a try?
Step 3 Reading
1) Read the conversation in 3a quickly and true or false the sentences.
① Alice and He Wei are in Water World. ② The new ride looks scary.
③ Alice was scary at first. ④ Alice thinks the new ride is actually fun.
⑤ He Wei thinks Fun Times Park restaurant severs delicious food.
⑥ A rock band plays in Water World Restaurant every evening.
⑦ Alice and He Wei can go later to the restaurant.
2) Read the conversation again and answer the questions in 3a.
1. Why did Alice not want to go on the new ride? How did she feel after the ride?
2. What is special about Uncle Bob’s restaurant?
3. Should Alice and He Wei get there early for dinner? Why?
Step 4 Practice
Underline the questions or statements in the conversation that ask for information. Rewrite them in a different way.
e.g. I wonder where we should go next.
Could you tell me where we could go next?
Check the answers with the whole class.
Step 6 Language points
1. I was scared at first, but shouting did help.
此句相当于I was scared at first, but shouting really helped. 原句是一种表现强调的句式，英语中，可用助动词do对谓语动词进行强调，构成强调句。
e.g. Please do be careful. 请一定小心。
I do agree with you. 我完全同意你的意见。
He did warn you other day, remember? 他前两天就告诫过你，还记得吗？
2. You never know until you try something.
try的用法
1) 做名词 have a try 试一试
e.g. Why not have a try? 为什么不试一试？
2) 做动词
(1) try to do sth. 努力做某事
e.g. Well, we’ll try to finish the homework in time. 那好。我们争取及时完成作业。
(2) try doing sth. 表示尝试着去做某事
e.g. -- I usually go there by train. 我通常乘火车去那儿。
-- Why not try going by boat for a change? 为什么不换乘船呢?
(3) try one’s best 尽某人最大的努力
e.g. Thank you. I will try my best. 谢谢你。我会尽力而为的。
3. I suggest Water City Restaurant in Water World.
suggest作动词，可意为“显示；间接表明”，后可接宾语从句。
e.g. His behavior suggested (that) he was a kind man.  他的行为显示他是个好人。
suggest作“建议”讲时，应注意以下两点：
1) suggest doing sth. 建议做某事
e.g. I suggested going home. 我建议回家。
2) suggest后接从句时，从句常用虚拟语气，谓语由“should +动词原形”构成，should可以省略。
e.g. I suggested that we should go home. 我建议我们回家。
另外，suggestion是suggest的名词形式，作“建议”讲时，是可数名词。
e.g. Do you have any suggestions? 你有什么建议吗？
4. The restaurant is always busy, at that time so come a little earlier to get a table.
用于“就餐”的语境时，形容词busy相当于“吃饭人多；餐厅拥挤”的意思；动词短语to get a table类似于汉语“定餐桌；占位子”等意思。

2）Objective clauses with wh-questions
上一个单元我们已经学习了由that和whether, if引导的宾语从句。这个单元我们继续学习由疑问词引导的宾语从句。疑问词：疑问代词(what、whom、who、whose、which)疑问副词(when、where、why、how)。
语序：无论主句是陈述句还是疑问句，也无论主从句间是什么引导词，宾语从句一律用陈述语序，即“引导词+主语+谓语+其它”。如：Could you tell me where Wei Fang lives? 
时态
1. 如果主句是一般现在时或一般将来时，宾语从句的时态不受限制，可根据实际表达的需要来确定。如：
Jenny knows the man was flying a kite at that time.  
You will understand why I did it one day. 总有一天你会明白我为什么那样做。
2. 如果主句是一般过去时，宾语从句用过去时态的某种形式。如：
I thought he had gone to town that day. 我以为他那天进城去了。
3. 如果宾语从句叙述的是客观事实、自然现象或科学真理等，从句不受主句时态的限制，用一般现在时。如：He said time is money.  他说时间就是金钱。

1) 问路时应注意
① 问路时应首先说一声：“Excuse me.”这样可以引起对方的注意，又不失礼貌。
② 当你没听清时，你可以说一声“Excuse me, would you please say it again?”(对不起，请您再说一遍好吗?) 或“I beg your pardon?”(对不起，请再说一遍好吗?)等，礼貌地要求对方重复一遍。
③ 问完路后，千万不要忘记向对方说句“Thank you for helping me.” 或“Thank you.”
④ 问路时经常会用到“向左(右)拐”这样的表达，英语对此有两种常见的说法，即turn left (right)或turn to the left (right)。表示 “在左(右)边”，英语用介词on或at均可。
