设计思路
本单元旨在让学生了解英语平行结构的基本用法，重点讲解结构的对称性和语言的连贯性。
参考教法
● 教师可以用一些经典语录让学生感受平行结构带来的表达效果。如: May you keep fit, study well and work hard.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. The world listens. The world watches. The world waits to see what we will do.
● 让学生找出句中的平行结构，并说出这些平行结构的表达效果。
参考资料
平行结构是一种修辞手法，它可以使句子前后保持平衡和协调，从而增加语言的连贯性。
平行结构常常使用并列连词，如and, but, or, neither...nor, either...or, not only...but also, not...but等，我们在使用这些并列连词时要注意它们所连接的应该是同等的成分，而不能其中一个概念用分词结构表达，而另一个概念用不定式或从句来表
现在，我不能给她舒适的生活，带她去高级餐厅，给她买漂亮的衣服，但至少我还能给她1摄氏度的爱。

达。比较以下两个句子：
错误：Do some nice things for your parents that they don’t expect—like cooking, doing the dishes, washing clothes, or clean the floors.
改为：Do some nice things for your parents that they don’t expect—like cooking, doing the dishes, washing clothes, or cleaning the floors.
Word Focus 设计思路：
英语词汇中不少词有多种词性,也有不少词一词多义,掌握了这一特点,对我们更好地记忆单词和灵活、准确地使用单词大有好处。
参考教法:
● 鼓励学生比较一词多性和一词多义在具体语境中的意思,切不可死记硬背。 ● 鼓励学生多读简易读物, 通过泛读体会词性和词义的活用。
● 编写一段对话或一个故事，尽可能多地用到同一个单词的不同词义。如:
take: (1) do take a test考试 take a class上课 take a deep breath 深呼吸 take a look 看一下
(2) use ( a particular type of transport), as in take a bus 乘车 take the elevator 乘电梯 (3) need (sth.)
take time/patience to so sth. 慢慢来 (4) accept (sth.) that sb. offers you take one’s advice 接受建议 take a job 接受工作
(5) carry or accompany sb. from one place to another take the book out of the library 把书带出图书馆 take you to dinner 带你去吃饭 care:
n. looking after someone/something
17
take care of your health 照顾好身体 health care/ beauty care 保健、美容 Take care! 保重！
a carefree person = a person free of worries无忧无虑的人
v. to think something is important care for sth. 喜欢… care for sb. 喜欢…
care about sth. 在乎、关心
