Festivals, holidays and celebrations

Festivals, holidays and celebrations

〖内容标准分析〗

一、单元话题教学及教学思路 本单元的话题是“节假日活动”。《英语课程标准》对这一话题的总的要求是：1）了解英语国家的重要的节假日、庆祝方式及他们所具有的文化内涵。2）能与他人就这一话题进行一般的交流。3）提高文化意识，在英语的实际运用中，能较好的表情达意。4）使学生乐意接触并了解异国文化。5）能加深了解我国民族文化的内涵，增强祖国意识。

根据“新课标”对这一话题的具体要求，本书把其分为两个子级即Level 4和Level 5.见下表

一级话题 Festivals, holidays and celebrations Level 4 Personal celebrations: Birthday, anniversary, graduation, etc. 二级话题 Level 5 Cultural festivals: Spring Festival, New Year’s Day, Christmas, etc.

“节假日”以成为人们日常生活中重要的组成部分。它为人们的休闲娱乐，互相交流提供了很好的平台。从社会交际的角度上看，了解一些英语国家节假日及其活动方面的知识，有利于不同文化背景的人们之间的相互交流，消除不必要的误解，提高交流的质量。从英语学习的角度看，了解“节假日”话题中相关的文化知识，有利于读懂原文报刊，杂志，有利于提高英语学习水平。有利于加深对本国文化的理解与认识，有益于培养国际视野。“节假日”话题，几乎可以含盖所有“课标”所涉及的功能项目中的语言内容。所以，在本单元教学实践中可以创设各种情景，进行综合语言实践。

Level 4

本单元第一个(Level 4)二级话题是 Personal celebrations. 根据“课标”对这一部分的要求，我们可以从“听”“说”“读”“写”四个方面更具体的说明应达到的目标。 听：

基本要求：能听懂有关生日话题中常见的词汇和简单的语句。 较高要求：能听懂有关个人庆典活动的语段并能做出相应的反应。 说：

基本要求：语音语调基本正确，能就个人庆典这一话题进行简单的交流。 较高要求：能够用正确的语音语调描述自己或他人在活动中的经历。 读：

基本要求：能读懂以生日话题为主的小故事。 较高要求：能读懂请柬、邀请信、便条等应用文。 写：

基本要求：能写出有关生日庆典的一些词汇及简单的语句。 较高要求：能根据实际情况写请柬、感谢信等。 O“任务性”学习

以生日为话题，进而学会谈论graduation, anniversary等。 A:----Happy birthday!

---Thank you.

1

B: ----Here’s a present for you.

----Oh, how nice! I like it very much. Thank you. C:----Where did you graduate?

-----Oh, from No. 49 Middle School. O 学习能力

学生的学习能力主要表现在以下几个方面：1、学生有学习的愿望与兴趣，能运用各种学习方式来提高学习水平，有对自己的学习过程和学习结果进行反思的习惯。2、能够结合所学学科的知识，运用已有的经验和技能，独立分析并解决问题。3、具有初步的研究与创新能力。

通过节日话题的学习，同学们对英语产生更大的兴趣，能够总结相关的常见的语句并能创造性的运用这些语句。 O语言知识

掌握与生日、周年纪念日相关的词汇。学会问候、告别、感谢、邀请、祝贺、喜不喜欢等 二、“新课标”教学与传统外语教学的比照：

从传统的教学方面看，教师过多重视语音、语法、词汇等知识方面的传授，追求讲清楚，只关注学生学习内容本身。而新课标教学，非常重视能力的培养。要求在教学中为学生创造使用知识的情景，把知识转化为进行交际的能力。教师不仅关注学生学习什么还关注学生的学习方法、学习能力。总而言之，“新课标”教学就是要提高学生的英语综合运用能力。 三、专业知识说明：

初步了解英语的基本句式，并建立起英语时态与动词变化之间的基本联系。对一般现在时、一般过去时及一般将来时有进一步的认识。 四 解决重点、难点的教学思路和方法

本级的话题是personal celebrations.教学的重点应放在：让学生了解西方人在生日庆典、周年纪念日等这类活动中一般的行为习惯。加深对中西文化的理解，让同学们对异域文化产生更大的兴趣，从而提高学习英语的内动力。

本级话题的难点是：如何让同学们来根据真实的情况来争确运用这一级话题所涉及的语言句式。解决这一重点、难点的教学思路和方法是：从语言训练方面来看，应联系学生的实际，在课堂上尽量为学生创设情景，让学生在一个一个的虚拟的mini 情景中进行语言的反复练习。从文化知识的角度看，可以通过个种活动（语言训练）让同学亲身体验出中西文化在这方面的差异，最终达到得体地运用相关的英语语句的目的。

五 关于学生学习过程中可能出现的问题

本单元的内容主要是学生进行口语练习，练习口语表达的能力。很可能同学们忽视写的能力 所以，在这一阶段，要注意培养他们良好的写的习惯。 教学活动设计

〖教学素材拓展〗

1． 生日

1） Birth 出生

在英美等国，孩子出生是一件家庭大事，一般由孩子父亲尽快通知附近的亲属，而亲属或亲友也会来探望产妇和孩子。孩子出身后，无论是新教天主教或是犹太教，都有洗礼的仪式。按英国的国教传统，还要为出生的孩子找教父和教母，在宗教信仰方面给孩子以帮助。 2） birthday 生日

在英美等国，每个人的生日，尤其是儿童的生日，都是件大事，一般都要有庆祝活动。庆祝活动包括举行家庭晚餐或者邀请亲戚朋友来聚会，前来参加聚会的亲崩好友都应该给过生日的人一点礼物。过去在21岁生日时，年轻人被承认为成年人，并会得到一把门钥匙作为新身份的象征。但英国以及大部分西方国家以把这个年龄提前到了18岁。一般来说，英国人在成年后每十年过一次生日，单到了七十岁以后每年过一次，因为说不定活不到下一个生日，如果能活到100岁，还会收到女王地私人祝贺电报。 3） birthday card 生日贺卡

在英美等国，当某个朋友过生日而你又不能亲自去参加或送礼物时，可以给他/她寄一张

生日贺卡，表示良好祝愿。生日贺卡可以从商店买到，上面印有祝词，如Happy Birthday; Wishing you many happy returns of the day.等。 4) birthday gift 生日礼物

参加生日庆祝会的客人一般应该给过生的人带去一份礼品大都一块大的蛋糕，也可以是其他的东西。这要根据送礼人和收礼人的关系的远近，送礼人的社会地位和境遇以及收礼人的年龄而定。生日礼品一般要在庆祝会上当着送礼人的面拆开，并当即向送礼人表示感谢。 5) birthday party 生日庆祝会

在英美，儿童过生日一般要举行庆祝会。儿童13岁以前，每年都要举行一次，女孩子

16岁需举行一次比较隆重的庆祝会。不论男孩还是女孩，21岁（现在为18岁）生日特别重要，因为这是他们成为成年人的标志，庆祝会通常在家里举行，也不邀请过多的朋友，时间一般在两个半小时至三个小时之内。

6) Happy Birthday To You 〈〈祝你生日快乐〉〉

<<祝你生日快乐>>是美国歌曲,也是世界上最著名的歌曲.这首歌曲创作于19世纪90年代,由肯塔基州的两姐妹麦尔德利-希耳与帕蒂-希尔谱写.姐姐是音乐教师,妹妹是幼儿园教师.这首歌曲最初叫<<主你早安>>,发表后并未流行.后来他们把这首歌曲改为<<祝你生日快乐>>,于1935年再度发表,引起人们的兴趣和传唱.

此后,这首歌曲很快流行开来,成为美国人生日宴会的一个不可缺少的部分,也在世界各地传唱着.虽历经百年,久唱不衰,成为世界上最流行的歌曲之一,因为在世界上,至少有1000万人出生在同一天.这首歌曲还被带到太空.1969年3月,阿波罗9号宇航器上的宇航员在太空演唱过。

尽管这首歌曲在世界上广为流行,但它是版权所有品。原属美国白桦树公司，但由于该公司缺乏资金保护和监视这受歌曲的版权，便于1988年12月将这受歌曲的版权卖给世界上最大的音乐公司——沃纳-查普尔公司。若在电视、电影或音乐厅由专业歌手演唱此歌，就必须向版权所有者支付稿酬。所以在电视或电影的生日宴会上很少听到这首歌曲。这首歌曲的版权有效期到2010年才结束。但是在非赢利性的个人演唱，则无需付稿酬。 2..Mother’s Day (母亲节)

始于1907年五月的美国。1914年在一位叫安娜贾维思小姐的努力下，国会通过决议确立每年五月

5

的第二个星期日为母亲节。

在这一天儿女们通常向自己的母亲献礼品和卡片，学校里也举行各种活动，以使儿女们认识到母亲为自己付出的心血和牺牲。 3.Father’s Day (父亲节)

1909年，华盛顿洲洲长宣布六月的第三个星期日为父亲节。1916年，这项宣布得到伍得罗威尔逊地认可。1924年，卡尔文柯立芝总统是它成为一个全国性的节日，以使“在父子间建立更亲密的关系，并是父亲铭记自己应尽的全部责任”。 父亲节的节花是红百玫瑰。在这一天，父亲尽情享受悠闲的生活。子女将给父亲送来贺卡和礼物。

〖配套题目例举〗 一、教学例题例句

由于学生现阶段已有了一定的英语基础，所以在设计练习的时候要根据学生的实际情况设计有梯度的题

1．让同学们总结与生日有关的词汇（如：birthday, cake, friends, party等） 2让同学们总结表示祝愿或祝贺的常见语句及应答。 如：A: Have a good day/time/trip/journey.

Good luck! Enjoy yourself! Best wises to you. Happy New Year! Happy birthday.

B: Tank you. You,too. The same to you. 3.创设情景进行口语训练

如： 打电话邀请对方参加生日party 让同学们说或写一句祝福父母的话 4.一分钟问卷

它用于课堂结束之时。要求学生总结课上的主要内容，说明自己存在的问题。

The New Blue Dress

When spring came to the city of Cleveland, It didn’t change Gates Avenue. The people living on the pretty streets near Gates Avenue were making gardens, painting their houses, etc. Everything seemed to be changing. But Gates Avenue continued to look dirty and ugly.

Gates Avenue was a short street. But it seemed long because it was so ugly and dirty. Most of the families who lived there had very little money and they were used to this kind of environment(环境)。 Most of the little girls in the school near Gates Avenue wore pretty new clothes that spring. But the little girl from Gates Avenue wore the same dirty dress that she had worn all winter. It was probably the only dress she owned.

Her teacher sighed(叹息). The little girl was so nice! She always worked hard in school; she was always polite And friendly. But her face was dirty and her hair was untidy.

One day the teacher said, “Will you wash your face before you came to school tomorrow? Please do that for me.” The teacher could see that the girl was very pretty under the dirt. The next morning the child’s pretty face was washed. Her hair was clean and tidy, too. Before the little girl went home that afternoon, the teacher said, “Now, dear, please ask you mother to wash your dress.”

But the little girl continued to wear the dirty dress. “Her mother is perhaps not interested in her,”

the teacher thought. So she bought a bright blue dress and gave it to the little girl. The child took the present eagerly(急切). And hurried home as fast as she could.

The next morning she came to school in the new blue dress, and she was clean and tidy.

She told the teacher, “My mother was surprised when she saw me this morning in my new dress. My father wasn’t at home: he went had gone to work. But he will see me at supper this evening.”

When her father saw her in the new blue dress, he was surprised to find that he had a pretty little girl. When the father sat down to eat supper, he was even more surprised to find a cloth on the table. The family had never used a table-cloth before. “What is the cloth for?” he asked. “ We are going to be more tidy here,” his wife said. “It isn’t nice to have a house dirty and untidy when our daughter is so clean.” After supper the mother started to wash the floors. Her husband watched for a little while without saying anything. Then he went outside into the back yard and began to repair the fence. The next morning, with the family’s help, he started to dig for a garden.

During the next week, the men lived around watched what the little girl’s family was doing. Then they started to paint their houses in ten years--------- 判断正误(每小题3分)

April Fool’s Day 英国的愚人节

每年的4月1日是英国的愚人节。在这一天，人们可巧施手腕捉弄亲友。比如，孩子们可以

慌慌张张的跑来告诉他们的父母：“厨房里着火啦。”或者“我的床上有条蛇。”如果他们的父母不假思索的冲出去解救，那他们就成了“愚人节傻瓜”（April Fool）。

这一天，不仅孩子们开这种玩笑，甚至英国的电视台，电台和报纸有时也会精心设计圈套来

诓骗听众和读者。例如，英国一家日报发表一张“独家新闻”照片，上面是英国首相撒切尔夫人在公园的一条长登上同苏联领导人戈尔巴乔夫接吻。

还有一次电台开了一个出色的玩笑。一名科技记者报道说，由于奇异的地质现象，在英国的

某些地方地球引力减弱了。他请收听广播的听众们上下跳跳看，若是比往常跳得高，就打电话告诉英国广播公司（BBC）。广播公司竟接到了好几百个电话。有一个人竟说他变轻了，轻得能在天花板那么高处飘来荡去。直到中午12点，广播公司才有礼貌的告诉听众，那完全是愚人节开的玩笑。

为了避免愚人节玩笑带来得不良后果，英国政府已经对其进行了一定的限制。比如，不拿君

王和宗教等取乐。不许愚弄警察，消防队，急救站，否则视情节轻重给以处罚。

关于愚人节的起源，有些学者认为，愚人节与罗马的嬉乐节（3月25日），印度的欢悦节有

相似之处。因为这些节日都在春分前后（3月21日）。在这个季节，天气无常，变化难测，好象大自然在和人们开玩笑。人们受其影响，也就逐渐形成愚人节。这种风俗在欧洲已持续数百年，其中尤以英国为甚。

也有的认为，愚人节起源与法国，至今以有800多年的历史。时间在元旦前后，活动内容包

括推选假主教或假教皇，模拟教会礼仪，上下级军官员互相易位等。

愚人节有一些典型的恶作剧，需要你在那天格外注意： ——把时间倒拨1小时 ——把盐放在糖瓶里

——用细绳住一个钱包，把钱放在走道上，当有人弯腰拣钱包时，躲在暗处的人拉动西绳，

不让他触到。

感恩节（Thanksgiving Day）

每年11月第四个星期四是美国的感恩节。这一天，家人团聚，吃火鸡、月橘酱和南瓜馅饼。感恩节是美国人民创作的节日，起源于1620年。100多名清教徒乘坐五月花号船，横跨大西洋来到马萨诸塞，一避免英国的宗教迫害寻求自由将近一半清教徒死于饥饿、寒冷或疾病当地的印第安人教他们

16

如何打猎、捕鱼和种庄稼。转年他们获得了丰收，边举办了第一感恩节庆祝会，对印第安人和上帝表示感谢。

感恩节成为全国的正式节日是多年之后。一个叫萨拉黑耳的妇女连续40年给各界总统写信，要求建立感恩节。1863年林肯总统接受了这个建议，宣布11月的最后的一个星期四为恩节是全国的节日。1941年，罗斯福总统批准国会的一项提案，规定11月的第四个星期四为感恩节。

感恩节有吃火鸡的习惯。据说，那批清教徒在新大陆遇到严寒和饥荒，正在他们绝望之际飞来一群火鸡，使他们绝处逢生。所以每到感恩节，火鸡是必不可少的佳肴，美国人往往要吃火鸡大餐。所以在美国饲养大量的火鸡。

火鸡并不是美国特产。火鸡的原产地是非洲几内亚，后来经埃及、地中海传到土耳其。而欧洲人过圣诞节所吃的火鸡由土耳其直接运来，故欧洲人称之为turkey.

感恩节时，人们喜爱的另一种食品是爆玉米花（pop corn）这也起源于第一个感恩节。那时欧洲移民第一次见到当地的印第安人吃一种百茸茸的小花朵的东西，感到十分吃惊。印第安人跳舞时，还把一串串爆玉米花当作珠子一样戴在脖子上。从此，爆米花成为感恩节餐桌上一道受人喜爱的食品。 万圣节前夜（Halloween） 万圣节（All Saints’ Day）在每年的11月1日，又称鬼节。罗马天主教于835年将11月1日定为“万圣节”，纪念宗教的先驱者。10月31日晚便称为“万圣节前夜”。

1840年万圣节从欧洲传到美国，成为孩子们最兴奋的一天。万圣节有一些特殊的习俗。从10月份开始，超市里就摆出各式各样的鬼怪：骷髅头、白骨、蝙蝠、巫婆等。出售的衣服、物品、面具上也有鬼怪的图案。在商店、餐厅等门窗上也张贴各种鬼怪的图案。电视里更是整天放映鬼怪片。学校里教学生做万圣洁节手工艺品、南瓜灯、鬼脸等。晚上，人们会看到身穿黑长袍、头带尖顶帽的小巫师。还会看到头戴画有骷髅三角帽的野蛮海盗。

南瓜灯，或称杰克灯笼，是最具特色的。万圣节前夜，人们把大南瓜掏空南瓜皮上刻个鬼脸，里面点上蜡烛，放在门廊或窗台上做摆饰。据说一个杰克的人因为吝啬没有升入天堂，他被罚提着灯笼照路并永远在地上行走。另具传说，雕刻着鬼脸的南瓜象征着巫婆，巫婆每年这时出来作祟，摆个南瓜灯可以驱鬼避邪。有些地方还举行“南瓜赛会”，各地的南瓜王都齐聚在一起，重量最大的得冠军。在比赛现场，一些能工巧匠当场把一堆堆南瓜雕成种种鬼怪头脸。

有些地方举行鬼节大游行，人们戴着狰狞可怖的鬼面具徜徉于大街。万圣节前夜，孩子们化装成童话或鬼话中的人物，手拿布袋或小桶挨家挨户要糖吃开门后第一句话都是：要恶作剧还是给施舍？“

万圣节的传统食物是苹果汁、爆玉米花、南瓜馅饼和女巫状的香料生姜饼等。

万圣节常做的游戏是用鞋子算命。参加游戏的每一个人都要轮流脱下自己的鞋子，把鞋子往上抛，鞋子落下的状态能预示你的未来。 复活节（Easter）

基督教纪念传说中的耶稣被钉在十字架受难死后在坟墓里躺了三天又复活的节日。复活节在每年过了春分月圆之后的第一个星期日，即3月22日至4月25日之间，因此每年可以变动。

复活节的象征包括新衣服、黄水仙花、复活节百合花、小鸡、小兔子和复活节彩蛋。节日期间人们互赠复活节彩蛋，象征新生命的问世和春天的来临。染绘鸡蛋这一古老的风俗很受英美等国家孩子们的欢迎，现以用巧克力做成蛋壳，内藏巧克力和其他糖果，壳外包裹有色锡纸作为节日礼物赠送。复活节的主要食品包括羊肉、各种禽蛋、春豌豆、新上市的土豆等。这是一个宗教色彩浓厚的节日，又是一个喜气洋洋的节日。

Christmas Day

The winter holiday season is the most festive time of the year in western countries. Many families go away for the holidays, but those who stay home have fun, too. There are many parties to celebrate the birth of

17

Christ and the arrival of the New Year.

In America, The spirit of Christmas arrives about a month before the holiday itself. Late in November, the street lights and store windows are decorated with traditional Christmas colors of red and green. Santa Claus, shepherd and angel scenes appear in shop windows. Winter scenes with snowmen, sleighs, skaters, skiers decorate cards and windows.

The manufacture and sale of Christmas items is big business. Stores depend on Christmas shoppers for about one-fourth of their annual sales. Smart shoppers buy their gifts far in advance, before the Christmas rush makes shopping a chore.

Although Americans enjoy the commercial friendliness of Christmas, the most beautiful and meaningful parts of the holiday occur at home. Many families gather around the tree and open their gifts. Then they sit down to enjoy a traditional Christmas Dinner----turkey or ham, sweet potatoes, vegetables, and cranberry sauce. Dessert is usually fruit cake, plum pudding, or apple pie.

Most of the Christmas customs which Americans enjoy today are variations of traditions brought here by European immigrants. Here are some of the most popular customs:

Exchanging Gifts. The first Christmas gifts were those that the Three Wise Men brought to the infant Jesus. In the United States,It is customary to exchange gifts with the family members and close friends. Both children and adults get Christmas presents, although children usually get many more’

Receiving toys from Santa Claus. Many American children believe that on Christmas Eve, Santa Claus(a fat, cheerful man who wears a red suit, red hat and long white beard) slides down their chimney to bring them gifts. According to the story, Santa Claus flies through the air in a sleigh pulled by the eight reindeer. Several days or weeks before Christmas, children tell Santa Claus what toys they want by writing him letters or visiting him in a local department store. Then, on Christmas Eve, many youngsters lie awake listening for Santa and his sleigh.

Where did this legend come from? Santa Claus is the American name for St. Nicholas, a generous fourth-century bishop who lived in what is now Turkey. It was his custom to go out at night and bring gifts to the poor. After his death, his fame spread throughout Europe. Dutch immigrants brought the idea of St. Nicholas to the United States, where the name was mispronounced and finally changed to Santa Claus. Then in the early 1800s American artists and authors changed St. Nick’s appearance and created the fat man in red that we know today. Santa’s sleigh and reindeer came from an old Norse legend. So today’s Santa Claus is really a blend of several different cultures.

Hanging a stocking near the chimney. As is Great Britain, American children hang stockings by the fireplace, hoping that Santa will fill them with candy and toys.

Decorating the home with evergreens. This winter custom began in ancient times. Branches of evergreens were thought to bring good luck and guarantee the return of spring.

Germans of the 16th century probably started the custom of decorating trees. In the 19th century, the idea spread through Europe and America. Now, at Christmas time, decorated trees stand in about two-thirds of American homes. The modern American tree is usually covered with colored balls and strings of colored light.

In ancient time, a branch of mistletoe was hung over doorways for good luck. Today the custom continues, but now it is for fun. Anyone standing under the mistletoe is likely to be kissed.

Singing Christmas carols. In the early days of the Christian Church, the bishops sang carols on Christmas Day. Now, everyone sings them. Christmas carols on the radio, on TV, in church, and in school all help fill the winter air with beautiful music. Copying an old English custom, many Americans join with friends and walk from house to house singing the traditional songs of Christmas.

18

Sending Christmas cards. This custom began in London in 1843 and came to the United States in 1875. Today, most Americans send dozens of Christmas cards or season’s greetings to relatives, friends, and business associates.

The Spring Festival（春节）

It falls on the first day of the first lunar month. People follow many national and local customs. They paste spring poems with lucky words on the door. They eat delicious food with symbolic values. For example, chicken for good luck. They exchange greetings with friends and relatives. New Year’s Day（元旦）

It is on the first day of the year. It marks the beginning of a new year. On this day, people enjoy a paid day-off. There will be parties everywhere, in parks, dancing halls and universities. The Lantern Festival/Yuanxiaojie（元宵节）

It comes on the 15th of the first lunar month. It marks the end of the Spring Festival. It is also called “Yuanxiaojie”. Why is called “Yuanxiaojie”? Because it is the first round-moon nigt in the year.On this day, people eat sweet dumplings for good luck. Special activities include the display of lanterns and riddle solving.

Tomb-Sweeping Day/Qingming（清明节）

It falls on April 4th or 5th . In Chinese it means “clear and bright”. It is a day for the living to show love and respect to dead driends,relatives and ancestors. People will sweep the tombs, put meat,vegetables, wine in front of the tombs. Besides, they burn paper money for the dead to use in afterlife. The Dragon Boat Festival/The Duanwu Festival(端午节)

It’s on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. What do people celebrate this festival for? It is the occasion to commemorate Qu Yuan, a great patriotic poet in ancient China. People mourned Qu Yuan’s death and every year they throw bamboo tubes filled with rice into the river as a sacrifice offered to him. This is supposed to be the beginning of the custom of rowing dragon boats and eating Zongzi on this day. The Mid-Autumn Festival(中秋节)

It is on the 15th of the eighth lunar month. It is a tradition for Chinese to eat moon cakes during this festival. People gaze at the “Lady in the Moon” and eat moon cakes for the family reunion and appiness. The Double-ninth Festival(重阳节)

It’s on the 9th of September in the Chinese lunar calendar. It’s the Elder People’s Day of China. Respecting the old is a fine tradition of the Chinese people.On this day many people will go climbing. We have a famous poem describing this festival. It goes like this: Alone as a guest on a foreign land, Twice homesick am I on every festival.

Afar I imagine my brothers’re mountains climbing, They, with dogwood spray in hand, find me missing.

the bank. He cried for help, and a young man heard him. He went over to the old man and said, “Give me your hand and let me help you.” Tom refused to do so. The young man thought for a while and said,“Take my hand and I’ll pull you out.” Then Tom held out his hand quickly and he was saved by the young man.) (after listening to it)

T: What we learn from the story? (Students may answer: Tome was too selfish. He only wanted to take) You’re so clever! If he hadn’t given his hand to the young man, he would have been dead. We must learn

to give. I’m sure you have heard of the Chinese saying: . And if you give, you will get one day. I hope you can learn the spirit of Generosity from Father Christmas and always be ready to help others. If everyone does this, we’ll have 50 Father Christmas in our class.

Every country in the world celebrate New Year, but not every one does it in the same way. The countries of American and those in Europe welcome the New Year on January the first. This practice began with the Roman ruler. Julius Caesar changed the date of the New Year from the first of March to the first day of January. In the Middle East, New Year is when spring begins. People in china celebrate it on the Spring Festival, which is the first day of their calendar based on the moon. The spring Festival usually comes between January 21 and February 19. Rosh Hashanah which is the Jewish New Year, comes at the end of summer. The Hindus in India celebrate the first day of each season, so they have four New Years.

In all these countries, these is a practice of making noise, People made noise in ancient times to drive away the devil spirits from house to house with drums and bamboo sticks. Young people in America stay up until midnight on New Year’s Eve, to watch the clock pass from one year to the next. Friends often gather together at a party on New Year’s Eve and when the New Year comes, all ring bells, blow whistles, blow horns, sing, and kiss each other. Questions

三、 能力素养评价

（见Level 4）

教学研究反思

1“新课标”教材对知识结构构建的作用

传统课程教学强调的是学生对教科书内容的记忆与内化。教师把“教学大纲”“教课书”“教参”作为授课的唯一标准所以在教学中教科书的知识占绝对主导地位，而“新课标”教材的出现 为课堂知识结构来源的多样化创造了条件，它是一个有待开发的资源库，如何利用这个资源要靠教师充分发挥自己的创造性。教师不再知识传授教科书上的指示，教师的个人知识也将成为构建学生知识结构的 一部分。学生不再是被动的接受知识而是通过师生互动和生生互动产生新知识。课本知识、教师个人知识及师生互动产生的新知识将成为课堂知识结构的骨架，“新课标”教材为教师的成长和发展提供了一个非常好的平台。

2“因材施教”关注“差生”

学生学不好英语大部分都是由于学习态度和学习习惯差，而且缺乏学习兴趣和毅力，甚至对学习丧失了信心，这部分“差生”一般可分为三种类型：1胆怯型2厌学型3叛逆型对于胆怯型的学生教师要多鼓励，增强他们的自信心和胆量；对于厌学型和叛逆型的学生教师要做他们的朋友，因势利导，还要及时与家长沟通（要注意学生本人的反应，因为这样做有时会适得其反）教师对于这样的学生需要耐心、爱心、诚心及教师个人的人格魅力去感化影响他们，使他们成为有健全人格，

26

奋发向上的一代新人。

二、自我教学反思

1．对“发现法”教学法的一点认识

“发现法”是学生在教师的指导下，根据所学的内容，结合教师所提供的一些问题和提示，积极思考和探索，司机发现并掌握知识，从而解决问题。 这种教学方法可以充分发挥学生的主体作用，培养学生自我发现问题，解决问题，从而学会学习。 2． 运用“任务型”教学法的一点认识

“任务型”教学主张在使用语言的过程中学习语言，所以，学生必须有完成任务的语言基础。首先，我们应清除完成任务的语言障碍，如果生词和新句型太多，学生不但完不成任务，还会丧失信心，达不到教学目标。那么，在完成“任务”之前，学生应在教师设计的情境中学习新的语言材料，然后加以运用，来完成另一个情境中的任务。
