Unit2Englisharoundtheworld本单元介绍了世界各地的英语，并且主要介绍了英语是怎样经过多年以后发展到现代英语的。在授课前，老师要先了解学生对英语这一语言的了解状况，并且告诉学生世界上的英语是多种多样的。为什么是这样呢？这一问题引起了学生的好奇。进一步让学生根据自己所掌握的历史知识进行思考、讨论。学生的观点是否正确，让他们认真阅读课文。通过读课文使他们知道：在历史上移民和战争等使英语与各地文化交流并且不断发展变化而成为一种世界性语言，并且将继续发展变化。通过学习本单元，使学生了解英语的过去、现在，并且进一步认识英语的未来，为学生学好英语奠定了一定的心理基础。1．1对话模仿Listentothetapeagainandagainandtrytoimitatethedialogue.Inthispart,youwillheartwopersonstalkabouttherulesofanapartmentbuilding.Afterhearingthedialogue,trytomakeupasimilardialoguewithyourclassmates.A:Excuseme.I'mnewinthisapartmentbuilding.CouldIaskyousomeoftheruleshere?B:Yes,ofcourse.A:Firstabouttheparking.IsitOKtoleavemycarbehindthebuilding?B:Sure.You'llseesomeparkingspacesthereforthepeoplelivinginthisbuilding.A:AndwhataboutwhenIhaveguests?B:Well,guestsaren'tallowedtoleavetheircarsintheback.Theyhavetoparktheircarsintheguestparkingareainthefront.A:Isee.Andarethereanyrulesabouthousepets?AmIallowedtohaveadog,forinstance?B:Yes,bothcatsanddogsareallowed.A:Thankyouverymuch.1．2图表理解Listentothepassageandfillinthetablewiththeanswersofthequestions.Thepassagewillbereadtwice.1．Whodoesthestudentthinkmaynotunderstandhim?Americans.2．Whosays"inhospital"?SpeakersofBritishEnglish3．Whatisthedifferenceinpronouncing"bird"?Americansusuallysound"r'inthewordwhileBritishpeopledonot.4．InhowmanywaysareBritishandAmericanEnglishdifferent?Grammar,pronunciation,spellingandvocabulary.短文内容AstudentislearningtospeakBritishEnglish.HewondersifhecancommunicatewithAmericansandifAmericanscanunderstandhim.Englishlearnersoftenask,"Whatarethe用心爱心专心116号编辑differencesbetweenBritishandAmericanEnglish?Howimportantarethesedifferences?"Certainly,therearesomedifferencesbetweenBritishandAmericanEnglish.Thereareafewdifferencesingrammar.Forexample,speakersofBritishEnglishsay"inhospital"and"Haveyougotapen?"whileAmericanssay"inthehospital"and"Doyouhaveapen?"Pronunciationissometimesdifferent.Americansusuallysoundthe"r"inthewordlike"bird"and"hurt".Britishpeopledonotsoundthe"r"inthesewords.Therearealsodifferencesinspellingandvocabulary.However,thesedifferencesarenottooimportant.Forthemostpart,BritishEnglishandAmericanEnglisharethesamelanguage.用心爱心专心116号编辑
