语言点的讲解方式以出现示例及学生归纳为主，力求表达对学生自学能力的培养及教师的指导相结合的教学理念。

[Explanation]
1. 讲解部分中所涉及的语言点以课文内容为主线依次出现，如此能够关心学生在加深对文本明白得的过程中学习词汇，而不是孤立地经历单词。

2. 语言知识的讲解要紧采纳填词，推测词义或句型转换等练习来引导学生自己感悟词义，归纳用法，及剖析复杂的句式结构。

这种“以练代讲”的方式有利于活跃学生思维，使他们在不断摸索的过程中学习知识，而不只是被动地记录教师的讲解内容，从而提高提高学习效率。

3. 语言点的巩固练习要紧通过各种真实情境的设置，关心学生运用所学知识来解决问题，或表达自己的观点。

其目的在于活跃课堂气氛，激发学习爱好，培养语用能力。

4. 在复习“the development of the underground system”时，要求学生依照表格中的关键词复述地铁的进展过程。

如此的设计要紧是因为这部分的单词只要学生识记即可，没必要详细讲解。

因此，教师能够关心学生在复述的过程中不断加深印象。
