SECTION A

Goals

To learn to use How much questions

To learn to ask about price and talk about clothing

To learn to thank someone

Procedures

Warming up by learning the grammar focus

Turn to page 38 and let’s learn to ask the how much question.

How much is the red sweater?

It’s eight dollar. (It’s ＝It is)

How much are these black pants?

They’re ten dollar. (They’re ＝They are)

Warming up by looking and saying

Hello, everyone!

I’m happy to meet you again. Today we shall take up Unit 7 “How much are these pants?”

Look at these two pictures please. They are pants and sweater. Do you know how I can say if I want to buy this beautiful sweater in a shop? Mary, please help me make a dialogue. Suppose you are the salesperson and I’m the customer. I’ll ask you, How much is this sweater? You tell me the price, for example, it’s 10dollars. And I’ll say, OK, I’ll take it. Now let’s have a try.

T: How much is this sweater?

Mary: It’s 10 dollars.

T: I’ll take it.

The rest of you shall listen carefully and repeat after us.

1a Matching words

Look at the picture on page 41 in your book. What can you see in the picture? That’s right. There are many clothes and some people in the shop. Can you name these clothes? Now match the words with the objects in the picture by writing the letters of the objects on the lines next to the words.

Check the answers:

1 . socks b 5. bag c

2. T-shirt g 6. hat f

3. shorts a 7. pants e

4. sweater d 8. shoes h

1b Listening and circling

Look at the picture again and tell me the names of the items of clothing to make sure you know these words. Now let’s listen to the recording and circle the clothing item you hear.

Tapescript:

A: How much is the hat?

B: The hat is six dollars.

A: And how much are the shorts?

B: Oh, they’re eight dollars.

A: And the sweater? How much is the sweater?

B: Let’s see. The sweater is nine dollars.

Read the tapescript to underline the how much question.

1c Doing pairwork

Now practice the conversation in the box. And then make your own conversations.

Sample conversations:

1. A: How much is this sweater? B: It’s thirty dollars.

2. A: How much are these shorts? B: They are eight dollars.

I’ll ask some pairs to say your conversations to the class.

2a Listening and circling

On page 38 are six colored boxes. Point to them and read their names out. They are black, white, red, green, blue, and yellow. And here are two caps and two T-shirts. Which one is big and which one is small? Which one is short and which one is long? Point to them and read the words aloud.

Small big short long

Now look at the six pictures in 2a. We shall listen to six conversations about them. Listen carefully and circle the picture of the article of clothing the person is talking about.

Check the answers:

These items are circled: the green T-shirt; the black bag; the red shorts; the green sweater; the big, blue hat; the long, blue and yellow socks.

Tapescript:

Conversation1

A: How much is the green T-shirt? B: It is eight dollars.

Conversation2

A: How much is the black bag? B: It is two dollars.

Conversation3

A: How much are the red shorts? B: They are nine dollars.

Conversation4

A: I like this green sweater. How much is it? B: It’s seven dollars.

Conversation5

A: I like big blue hats. Do you have one? B: Yes. I have this one here.

A: How much is it? B: It’s five dollars.

Conversation6

A: I like those long, blue and yellow socks. How much are they?

B: They’re two dollars.

2b Listening and filling

Listen to the recording again. This time please write down the prices on the price tags. All the items in each group are the same price.

Check the answers:

hats--$5; sweaters--$7; shorts--$9; T-shirts8; socks--$2; bags--$2;

Read the tapescript to underline the how much question and study its structure.

2c doing pairwork

Just now we heard something about the items of clothing in the pictures in 2a. We now know their colors, prices and so on. Now look at the dialogue in the illustration in 2c and make your own conversations in pairs like that using the items of clothing in the pictures in 2a. Then I’ll ask some pairs to perform your conversations for us.

Sample dialogue:

S1: How much are the blue shorts?

S2: They are nine dollars.

S1: How much is the yellow T-shirt?

S2: It’s eight dollars.

3a Reading and filling

Look at the picture in 3a. What item is the girl buying? Yes, she’s buying a blue sweater. Here is an uncompleted conversation about the picture. Read it and write the correct word in each blank.

Check the answers:

Clerk: Can I help you?

Mary: Yes, please. I want a (1) sweater.

Clerk: What (2) color do you want?

Mary: Blue.

Clerk: Here you are.

Mary: (3) How much is it?

Clerk: 20 dollars.

Mary: I’ll take it. (4) Thank you/Thanks.

Clerk: You’re welcome.

Now let’s read the article loudly after the tape sentence by sentence. Try to imitate the pronunciation and intonation of the native reader.

Culture note: The difference between Thanks, Thank you, and Thank you very much

Thanks is used in informal situations or in situations when the person helped you in a not very important way. Thank you is the standard form, which is acceptable in all situations. Thank you very much is used only when someone has done something special to help you. The tone of voice can also add meaning to a statement of thanks. A warm, meaningful Thanks sometimes means a lot more to the listener than a more formal Thank you.

3b Doing pairwork

Let’s look at the pictures in 3b.

Please talk about the name and color of the objects.

Then read the conversation in 3a in pairs again and

make your conversations like that using the clothing in the pictures I 3b. You can decide the

price of each item by yourself.

Sample conversation:

S1: Can I help you?

S2: Yes, please. I want a hat.

S1: What color do you want?

S2: Black.

S1: Here you are.

S2: How much is it?

S1: 5 dollars.

S2: I’ll take it. Thank you.

S1: You’re welcome.

Closing down by playing a game

Now read the sentences in the pictures. Do you know how to play the game? This is a memory game. Each person says the name of an item of clothing and a price. You have to remember all the items and all the prices you hear. You can play the game in groups of four. For example:

S1: The blue sweater is seven dollars.

S2: The blue sweater is seven dollars.

The red socks are two dollars.

S3: The blue sweater is seven dollars.

The red socks are two dollars.

The yellow hat is five dollars.

S4: The blue sweater is seven dollars.

The red socks are two dollars.

The yellow hat is five dollars.

The green T-shirt is six dollars.

S1: ......

Are you clear? If someone doesn’t say the sentence correctly, the others will say NO! Let’s begin.

SECTION B

Goals

● To learn the numbers 10-31

● To improve the listening and writing skills

Procedures

Warming up by talking about plans

Last class we learned how to buy a thing and how to talk about the price. When we talk about the price, we’ll use the numbers. And you have learned the numbers 1 to 9. This class we’ll study the numbers 10 to 31.

1a listening and repeating

Look at the numbers in the box in 1a on page 44. Listen to the recording and repeat one by one. Please pay more attention to the pronunciation of twenty and thirty. They are often pronounced differently than they are spelled. The word twenty is often pronounced twenny. The second “t” disappears. This is especially true when the twenty is followed by another number as in twenty-one. Also, the second “t” in the word thirty often sounds like a “d”. Most native speakers of English sounded like they’re saying thirdy instead of thirty.

Tapescript

10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31

1b Writing the numbers

Just now we listened to the numbers from ten to thirty-one.

Now please match the numerals and number words individually and find out which rows are in the wrong order.

Check the answer: The second row and the fourth row are in the wrong place.

2a Listening and circling

Now we are going to hear a conversation between a mother and her daughter. They are talking about buying clothes. Listen carefully and circle the numbers you hear the mother and the daughter say. One of the numbers is given.

Check the answer:

Circled numbers: 15, 11, 20, 16

Tapescript:

Mom: Oh, look. I like that blue sweater. How much is it?

Lisa: 15dollars. Oh, look. I like these socks.

Mom: Oh, no. I don’t like red.

Lisa: Do you like this?

Mom: Mmm, yes, I do, but it’s 11 dollars.

Lisa: Oh. How much is the green sweater?

Mom: it’s 20 dollars. But you have a green sweater.

Lisa: Mmm.

Mom: Oh, look at these shorts.

Lisa: Oh, yes, I like those. How much are they?

Mom: Only 16 dollars.

Lisa: OK, I’ll take those.

2b Listening and circling

Let’s listen to the conversation again. This time please circle the things that Lisa and her mother talk about.

Check the answer:

Circled items: blue sweater, rd socks, white T-shirt, green sweater, shorts

2c Doing a pairwork

Now let’s do pairwork. Read the dialogue in the speech bubble and make your conversations about the clothes in the picture in 2b. Then I’ll ask some pairs to say your conversation to class.

Sample conversation:

S1: How much is the white T-shirt?

S2: It’s 11 dollars. How much are the shoes?

S1: They are 8 dollars….

3a Reading and filling

Here is an advertisement in the newspaper about SALE. You see, the blue sweater is only 25 dollars. Read the advertisement carefully and fill in the rest of the price tags. While reading try to divide / the sentences into parts.

Check the answers:

5 18 25 12

Huaxing Clothes Stare SALE!

Come/ and buy your clothes/ at Huaxing’s great sale! Do you like sweaters? We have sweaters/ at a very good price-only ￥25! Do you need bags/ for sports? We have great bags/ for only ￥12! For girls, we have T-shirts/ in red, green, and white/ for only ￥18! For boys, you can buy socks/ for only ￥5 each! Anybody can afford/ our prices!

Come/ and see/ for yourself/ at Huaxing Clothes Store!

OK, now please read aloud the advertisement as the recorder goes. When you read, you should pay more attention to the pronunciation and intonation. Try to imitate the native reader.

3b Writing an advertisement

Now you can write your own advertisement. Use this ad to write your ad. Suppose you are next door to Huaxing. Your ad must be better! Then I’ll ask some pairs to read your ads to the class.

Sample ad:

Mr Cool’s Clothes Sale

Come to Mr Cool’s Clothes Store! We sell pants for only ￥30. Do you like hats? We have several kinds of lovely hats for ￥5 each! We also have great bags for only ￥8! For students, we have some kinds of shoes at a very good price-only￥ 20! They are very cool! And that’s not all!

Just for fun!

Look at the cartoons and read the dialogue between the salesman and the customer. Let’s invite some pairs to present the dialogue to us. Please look at the face of the salesman in the last picture. Why is the salesman unhappy at the end? Yes, he wanted to sell a lot of clothes. He thought the boy was going to buy shorts, a sweater and socks. But the boy just bought the socks instead!

Part 2: Teaching Resources(第二部分:教學資源)

ground readings

1. Kinds of shops

Shops are divided into multiple categories of stores which sell a selected set of goods or services.

Many shops are part of a chain: a number of similar shops with the same name selling the same products in different locations. The shops may be owned by one company, or there may be a franchising company that has franchising agreements with the shop owners (see also restaurant chain).

Some shops sell second-hand goods. Often the public can also sell goods to such shops. In other cases, especially in the case of a nonprofit shop, the public donates goods to the shop to be sold (see also thrift store). In give-away shops goods can be taken for free.

For details on the various types of retail stores see:

Army-navy stores; Bookstore; Convenience store; Department store; Dollar store; Electronic commerce, B2C; General store; Hardware store; Hobby store; Hypermarket; Mail order; Pet store; Pharmacy; Sex shop; Sports Store; Supermarket; Superstore; Surplus store; Thrift store; Travel agency

2. 英國購物習慣

在英國有一些購物習慣與我們國家的做法不同。在商店裏沒有討價還價的習慣；顧客需要按商品的標價付款。英國人著名的排隊習慣在購物時尤其適用。你可能並不總會看到一個隊，但等候的人們要依次輪流購物。在自助商店和街頭市場，記住帶上你自己的購物袋，因為很多商店的手提購物袋是要收費的。不過，在自助商店裏，永遠要把商品首先放在商店提供的鐵絲籃子裏，付了款之後才把商品放到你自己的袋子裏。如果你忘記這一條而把商品直接放進自己的袋子裏而沒有付款就離開，你可能會被指控為“入店行竊”，這可能會導致被警方控告犯有盜竊罪。不幸的是，在英國的一些地方，“入店行竊”是一種相當普遍的盜竊方式，因此很多商店裝有電子檢測設備，並在起訴方面採取一種強硬政策。遊客如果打算購買昂貴的家用物品，可以在公共圖書館查閲一下“Which”這份雜誌。這份雜誌對各個廠家產品的價錢和質量做出比較。在大超市購物，不用擔心質量和價格有什麼欺詐，在付款後，收款機會打印出一張詳細的收據，內容包括：商場名稱，當天的值班經理的名字、售貨員姓名、購貨種類、數量、價格、付款方式、找零以及商場地址、電話號碼，如發現什麼問題，可以找商場解決。近年來，英國已經逐步制定了許多法律來保護消費者的權利。例如説，假如你能出示收據，店家必須調換有毛病的商品，所以一定要把收據和質量保證書保存好，尤其是購買大件物品的收據和質量保證書。

3.專挑打折期購物 美國人處處想省錢

美國雖然是世界上經濟最發達的國家之一，但美國人的生活並不奢侈，有時甚至是一分錢掰成兩半花。通常情況下，美國人手裏的活錢並不多，每月除了還買房、買車的貸款外，煤氣、水、電、電話、上網費、有線電視費等各種費用也是一大筆開銷。經過東扣西扣，最後手裏剩下的零花錢就沒多少了，為此普通美國人花錢很少大手大腳。這一點從美國人的購物習慣也能看出來。

平常，美國的大商場裏總是冷冷清清，但打折的時候可就不一樣了。每年感恩節的第二天是美國最著名的商場打折日，許多商品都打5折。到那天，等了很久的美國人會傾巢而出，所有商場都是人頭攢動。有人為了搶到便宜貨，甚至早晨5點就起牀出發了。我的一位美國朋友格林女士想買個數碼攝像機，但她還一直沒有采取行動。她説：“我就等着今年的感恩節呢！”美國人不僅熱中於在打折時購物，他們還酷愛優惠券。購物用的優惠券分兩種，一種是在商品原價基礎上便宜10%-20%，任何時候都可以用。另一種是可以直接代替美元使用的優惠券，上面標着10美元、20美元不等，只要你購物超過一定數額，就可以直接用。不過這種優惠券一般只能在打折期間用，而且常常是隻有“早起的鳥兒（Early bird）”才能使。除此之外，記者還了解到，美國人平時逛商場，大多數是隻看不買，但每個人心裏都在默記着自己已經看中的東西，然後靜等打折期的到來。

美國人不僅在購物時會省錢，他們在別的方面也有許多省錢的辦法。在美國，修汽車的人工費非常貴，一小時就要幾十美元。為了省錢，許多美國男士自學汽車的結構常識，掌握了不少簡單的修車技術，如：補輪胎、換一些小零件等。 先生們學修車，太太們也不會閒着。由於去餐館吃飯比較貴，一頓飯一個人至少要花上十幾美元，所以絕大多數美國太太都有一手好廚藝。電視上的廚藝節目、各種菜譜書籍和廚藝學習班也深受美國太太們喜愛。美國人自己製作的蛋糕一點不比商場裏的遜色，卻能省不少錢。在商場裏，一個生日蛋糕要賣幾十美元，而自己做的成本就低多了。

II. Fun materials--A LITTLE MONKEY BUSINESS

A tourist walks into a pet shop in Silicon Valley, and is browsing around the cages on display. While he's there, another customer walks in and says to the shopkeeper, "I'll have a C monkey, please". The shopkeeper nods, goes over to a cage at the side of the shop and takes out a monkey. He fits a collar and leash and hands it to the customer, saying "That'll be $5,000". The customer pays and walks out with his monkey.

Startled, the tourist goes over to the shopkeeper and says, "That was a very expensive monkey. Most of them are only a few hundred dollars. Why did it cost so much?"

"Oh", says the shopkeeper, "that monkey can program in C with very fast, tight code, no bugs, well worth the money." The tourist starts to look at the monkeys in the cage.

He says to the shopkeeper, "That one's even more expensive, $10,000! What does it do?"

"Oh", says the shopkeeper, "that one's a C++ monkey; it can manage object-oriented programming, Visual C++, even some Java, all the really useful stuff." The tourist looks round for a little longer and sees a third monkey in a cage on its own. The price tag round its neck says $50,000.

He gasps to the shopkeeper, "That one costs more than all the others put together! What on earth does it do?"

"Well," says the shopkeeper, "I don't know if it actually does anything, but says it's a Consultant."

IV. Grammar studies-數詞

表示數目多少或順序多少的詞叫數詞，數詞分為基數詞和序數詞。表示數目多少的數詞叫基數詞；表示順序的數詞叫序數詞。

一、基數詞

1. 基數詞寫法和讀法： 345 three hundred and forty-five；

2. 基數詞一般是單數形式，但下列情況，常用複數： a. 與of 短語連用，表示概數,不能與具體數目連用, 如scores of people 指許多人；b.在一些表示"一排"或"一組"的詞組裏；如：They arrived in twos and threes.他們三三兩兩的到達了。c 表示"幾十歲"；

d. 表示"年代"，用 in +the +數詞複數；e. 在乘法運算的一種表示法裏，如：3 x 5 = 15 Three fives is (are) fifteen.

二、序數詞

序數詞的縮寫形式： first---1st, second---2nd , thirty-first---31st

三、 數詞的用法

1. 倍數表示法

a. 主語+謂語+倍數（或分數）+ as + adj. + as： I have three times as many as you.我有你三倍那麼多。b. 主語+謂語+倍數（分數）+ the size (amount，length…) of…

The earth is 49 times the size of the moon.地球是月球的49倍。c. 主語+謂語+倍數（分數）+ 形容詞（副詞）比較級+ than…： The grain output is 8 percent higher this year than that of last year. 今年比去年糧食產量增加8%。d. 還可以用by+倍數，表示增加多少倍： The production of grain has been increased by four times this year.今年糧食產量增加了4倍。

2. 分數表示法

構成：基數詞代表分子，序數詞代表分母。分子大於1時，分子的基數詞用單數，代表分母的序數詞用複數：1/3 one-third ； 3/37 three and thirty-sevenths
