课堂学习探究Step1 : Lead inShow the picture：Can I help you? Thank you for your help.Ask students：What are parts of speech of “help” in these sentences are?1 “Help” in this sentence is used as a verb.2 In the second sentence “help” is used as a noun.In this period, we will learn some words, which have several parts of speech. Now look at the short dialogue. In the passage “Fog”, we learned a story about a blind man’s helping others in a foggy day. Polly is telling others about her experience.Look at the picture and pay attention to the conversation. P6 CONVERSATIONWho can find the word which has two parts of speech in these dialogues?“Rest” has two parts of speech. In “the rest of the way”, rest is a noun. In “come in and rest”, rest is a verb.Like “rest” in the dialogue, many words in English have more than one part of speech. In some cases, different parts of speech (usually a noun and a verb) have the same spelling but different meanings.Step 2: Grammar focusAs a matter of fact, we have learned so many words like “rest” which has more than one part of speech. Traditional grammar classifies words based on ten parts of speech: the verb, the noun, the pronoun, the adjective, the adverb, the preposition, the conjunction,the numeral, the article and the interjection. Each part of speech explains not what the word is, but how the word is used. In fact, the same word can be a noun in one sentence and a verb or adjective in the next. The following examples show how a word’s part of speech can change from one sentence to the next.Books are useful. n.Dick waited patiently while Bridget was booking the ticket. v.We walk down the street. v.The mail carrier stood on the walk. n.Now. I’ll give you five minutes to discuss with your partner and try to find more examples.Step 3：PracticeTask one: Read and find the words.Read the text again and find the words listed below in the story and complete the table, using a dictionary to help you, if necessary.Words Parts of speech Meanings Examplesrest noun the remaining part He wants to see the rest of theworld.verb relax My mother told me to rest.once conjunction when Once she finishes her work, shecan help you.adverb At sometimes in the past I once lived in Beijing.left verb went/ gone away from aI left fro work earlier this morningperson or a placeadverb On the side of your body Look right and left before crossingthe streetstill adverb continuing I’m still hungry though I’ve justhad a big hamburger.adjective not moving Can’t you sit still.Task two: finish B on page 6.Answers: 1 causes 2 cause 3 answer 4 answer 5 increases 6 increaseStep 4: ConsolidationTranslate the following sentences and pay attention to the part of speech of the bold words.1 She speaks perfect English.She is perfect ing her English.她讲一口地道的英语。
