The previous lessons include Warming-up, Pre-reading from Page 25 to Page 27 and Language points on Page 28. And this is the third lesson of Unit 4. It is mainly about the usage of v.ing form as adverbial.

In Unit 3 the students have learnt the usage of v.ing form as the object complement, predicative or attribute. As the understanding of an adverbial is quite unfamiliar to the students, the teacher intends to help the students to sense the structure via Free Talk, find it out in the reading passage, observe and understand how to use it via Exercise 2 on Page 29. Step by step, following the general understanding, there are three tasks. Task 1, Speaking while watching the videos, aims to inspire students to express what happened in everyday life, using v.ing form. Task 2, Acting it out, aims to judge whether students can understand others using v.ing form. Task 3, Making a change in the composition, aims to help students use v.ing form to paraphrase the previous writing of themselves.

Analysis of the students

It is a new way for the students to learn Grammar by reading, speaking and writing. They should find out the rules on their own by observing and trying. After nearly one year’s learning, some of them are brave to make mistakes; some hold different views though sometimes strange; some are eager to express themselves in English; and because of their limited vocabulary and practice some are afraid of learning Grammar points through English. Above all, what the students have in common is their curiosity and inspiration to study Grammar Points in a new way.
