Step 2      Presentation

I. ask some students to read the text and point out the difficulty. Then discuss with the whole class. If necessary explain the Chinese meaning of the text sentence by sentence and explain the usage of the following language points:

II. Language points

1. at work (人)在工作，（机器）在运转

  eg: Danger! Men are at work on this road.

     Bill is at work on his bike.

2. They work 24 hours a day serving the customers.

  serving the customers 是现在分词短语做状语, 下文的 choosing items and putting it into a shopping basket 是相同的用法

eg: We spent a whole afternoon cleaning the house.

3. much bigger 形容词的比较级前加上much表示“比…得多”, “远比…”

  eg: My bedroom is much smaller than yours .

This kind of computer is much more expensive than that.

I have been much happier than before since I came to Chencun Vocational School.

4. Next they put the numbers into a machine, which looks like the ATM machine you can see in the street.

       which looks like the ATM machine you can see in the street是非限定性定语从句, 对它所修饰的machine一词作些附加的补充和说明.非限定性定语从句和它所修饰的词之间往往要用一个逗号分开

  eg: Once upon a time, there was an old merchant, who had three sons..

5. look like 看上去像…;像要;想要. like是介词

  eg: He looks like his father.

It looks like rain.

6. on top of    

at the top of 

两个都表示 “在…顶部.上面”

  on后的the常可省略, at后的不可省; on用侧重 “面”的接触,at只指位置 “点”.

eg: The man is standing at the top of the mountain.

Put your bag on (the ) top of mine..

7. such as = like “例如, 诸如…之类”

  eg:. We  have many subjects at school, such as(like) English, maths and PE.

8. It’s fun and interesting to shop here.

  句中it是形式主语,  不定式短语to shop here 是真正的主语. 可以代替由不定式,动名词短语或从句所表示的主语, 而把真正的主语移到句子的后部, 使句子显得比较平稳.

  eg: It’s nice to live here.

        It’s my pleasure to help you.
