Procedures
1.Warming up by working on the type of writing and
summary of Marty’s story
It is important to find main ideas when reading. Main ideas help you remember important information. The main idea of a paragraph tells the topic of the paragraph. The topic tells what all or most of the sentences are about. The other sentences in the paragraph are called details. Details describe or explain the main idea. Read the text to find the main idea.
We shall first go back to page 8 to read the text to complete the table below.
2. Learning about the Infinitive
Infinitive
An infinitive is the simple present form of a verb
used as either a noun, adjective, or adverb. The verb of the infinitive is normally preceded by the word to. When the infinitive follows some verbs as the direct object, the “to” may be dropped.
An infinitive phrase is the infinitive plus any complements and any modifiers of the infinitive and complements.
As a Noun: He helped to write the program.
As an Adjective: Lydia was looking for a way to earn money.
As an Adverb: He shouted to get our attention. To Dropped: He helped write the program.
In the above examples, the infinitive is italicized and the infinitive phrase is underlined.
3. Listening, reading and completing
Now you are going to listen to a short paragraph about Zhang Haidi.
The model status of Zhang Haidi (Shandong
Province, 1955), widely publicized in
print and in propaganda posters from 1983
on, is an interesting one. Zhang Haidi,
also known as Ling Ling, became a
paraplegic at the age of five following
four operations for the removal of tumors in her spine. When she received news that her illness was incurable, she was reported to have attempted to commit suicide by taking sleeping pills, an action usually considered as a betrayal of the revolution and as evidence of discontent with socialism, and therefore as the act of a coward. She never went to school, but through diligent self-study, she learned to read books on politics, literature and medical science. She also learned foreign languages, including English, Japanese and German. She did not only function as a model because of her intellectual accomplishments or her devotion to serving others, but also because "... In Lei Feng, Chinese youths had to reach for communism. In Zhang Haidi, communism reaches for Chinese youths."
Now you are to complete the two paragraphs on page 4 choosing the right words from the list.
4. Learning and finding
What is an Infinitive?
The infinitive usually occurs with 'To' (for example To go, To come, To wear etc.), except after an auxiliary or modal verb.
It is a verb form that shows no person, tense or aspect.
EXAMPLES OF THE INFINITIVE:
I had to go
I must go
I want to sing
To err is human
You don't know her
You may come
The following verb forms are derived from the Infinitive:
i/ Imperative (same as Infinitive but without 'To')
ii/ Present Simple (same as Infinitive without
'To' but the third person singular takes 's')
iii/ Present Participle or Gerund (add 'ing') Now read the text once again to find and copy on page 5 all sentences which contain examples of the Infinitive.
5. Making sentences with the Infinitive。
