Step 2. Grammar Study
T： The relative pronouns are used as objects either after verbs or after prepositions. When they are used as the objects of prepositions, the position of the prepositions must be paid attention to. The preposition usually follows the verb in spoken English. “who” “whom” \ English. If the preposition is used before the relative pronoun, \“whom” can only be used while “who” or \\That is \whom/which\= prep. + whom/which) Please look at the examples on the screen.
1．A. The person (who/that/whom) you should write to is Mr. Ball. B. The person to whom you should write is Mr.Ball.
2．A. The games(which/that)he competed in were swimming and shooting.
B. The games in which he competed were swimming and shooting the whole class as usual.
T: We can choose the proper prepositions in three ways. First, we can find out which verb the preposition is used
with in the clause. Second, we Can find out which noun or pronoun the clause modifies. Third, we can find out the meaning of the clause. I'll give you some examples. Look at the screen, please.
1. A. Have you met the person about whom he was speaking? B. He is the man to whom you can turn for help. 2. A. The farm on which we worked ten years ago isn't what it used to be. B. This is the tree under which we used to play games. 3. A. The pen with which he is writing now was bought yesterday. B. The gas without which we can not live is called oxygen. T: Are you clear about that? .

Step 3. Study for the Language Points
T: There are some words, phrases that are difficult to understand. Now find them out in the passage. (Teacher writes the words and phrases on the Bb: creat, work on , take off, cut…into/in pieces, hit ,go wrong, win over, in the end , owe…to…) T: There are pairs of words or phrases that are similar to each other. We should tell the differences between them. And there’s also a sentence pattern that we should master. (Bb: be afraid to do sth./be afraid of (doing) sth. , high/highly;…love and friend-ship are the most important things in life.) Now I’ll explain them to you. Look at the examples on the screen, please.
