Now let’s begin our class.现在呢让我们开始上课。
二、节日学习
1、首先问问同学们中国的传统节日有那些、然后再问问同学们西方都有什么节日。
“同学们知不知道中国有哪些传统节日啊?那同学们知道西方有哪些传统节日么?”
2、问“同学们你们喜欢学习么 ?”“同学们你们喜欢做游戏么?”“那老师和你们在游戏中学习好不好、这是一个猜节日的游戏、老师会给出提示、有猜到这是什么节日的同学可以起立回答。猜对有小礼物赠送哟(礼物为准备好的圣诞节小装饰)”
1)提示1:“这个节日的颜色是以white red green 为主”
2)提示2:“大家来听一段音乐”(放jingle bells音乐)“现在有同学可以猜出这是什么节日么?”(应该已经可以猜出,如不能则向下进行)
3)提示3:展示 圣诞老人&麋鹿 图片“他是这个节日的代表性人物”
(有同学答出——送出第一批小礼物)
“老师这里有几个简单的问题考考同学们”
1、拿出圣诞树的图片(同学回答后追问一下——“那你可以给大家拼写一下这个单词么”)在黑板上写出green带着大家读两遍
2、圣诞老人头像图片“这个圣诞老人的帽子是什么颜色的呢?可不可以请同学拼写一下呢”
在黑板上写出red带着大家读两遍
3、“圣诞节是几月几日呢”圣诞节日期图片
4、“在圣诞节的时候我们要互相送祝福吧,哪位同学知道“圣诞快乐”用英语怎么说呢?有哪位同学可以在黑板上写出来么?”(如没有,“那就由老师教你们写吧”)
在黑板上写出Merry Christmas!带读两遍
“同学们有谁知道与圣诞节有关的其他内容呢、给我们大家讲一讲、分享一下,也是有小礼物赠送的哟~~”
① 如果有“同学讲得很好,让老师再来补充一下——”
② 如没有则用话接一下自己讲:“那就由老师讲给大家听吧” “圣诞节是西方国家最重要的节日之一,对于孩子来说是最具童话色彩的节日,圣诞老人的童话在一代代人的童年中穿越不息。有孩子的人家基本都会在房外装上节日的彩灯,家里也会树起圣诞树,挂上圣诞小装饰,大人们还会带着小孩子去跟圣诞老人照相等等,到处充满着热闹欢乐的气氛。圣诞老人是圣诞节活动中最受欢迎的人物,小朋
友在圣诞夜临睡前会在壁炉前或枕头旁放一只袜子,等候圣诞老人在平安夜乘着驯鹿拉的雪橇到来,从烟囱爬进屋内,给他们留下心中期盼的礼物。同学们,今年的圣诞前夜你们也可以试一试哟,说不定早上醒来就会发现圣诞老人送给你们的礼物。”
(“同学们知道中国的儿童节是在哪一天么?那你们在过六一儿童节时开不开心啊?其实呢西方也有一个节日是儿童们纵情玩乐的好时候。是在每年的10月31日、(ppt)人们会穿着各种恐怖的衣服和面具(ppt)来驱赶真正的鬼怪(ppt)。南瓜灯(ppt)是这个节日的重要成员、有同学知道这是什么节日么?
① 有,同学们可真聪明,对,这个节日就是万圣节;
② 没有,那老师来告诉大家——这个节日就是万圣节。(在黑板上写出Halloween,带读两遍)
(一)万圣节到来时小朋友是最开心的啦,夜幕降临,他们就会迫不及待地穿上五颜六色的化妆服,戴上千奇百怪的面具,提着南瓜灯挨家挨户的索要糖果等,他们在索要糖果时会喊着这样一句话——“trick or treat(写在黑板上,教读)”这句话的意思是“要恶作剧还是给款待”,如果大人们不用糖果、零钱款待他们,他们就真的会做一些小恶作剧捉弄大人们。
现在呢姐姐这里也有一些糖果、有没有同学可以说出这句话来向老师索要糖果呢”)
(发糖果)
(二)其实老师很好奇你们大家心中都想收到什么节日礼物呢?现在老师给大家_2_分钟时间画出你们想要收到的节日礼物,画出后并且可以用英语简单地描述你所画的礼物的同学可以得到老师赠送的小礼物哟。”

第二篇:万圣节和圣诞节的资料
“在唐末,正月十五称为元宵,而在清朝被称为灯节。一些有权有势的贵族们请民间艺人为他们扎灯笼,谁家的灯笼扎的最好谁家就是最富有的。”
我对农历一巧不通,有些二丈和尚摸不着头脑。听到“元宵”二字,才明白。原来年年的元宵节又快来临!
每到元宵这一天,奶奶和妈妈就会张罗着做汤圆。我呢则在一旁看热闹。只见她们把糯米粉与少许的水柔成面团。再拿出一小部分,用双手搓成圆状,当中挖出一个洞里面放芝麻豆沙和少许的油,再加一些香料,比如桂花。然后再将洞口合上捏拢。然后奶奶把做好的汤团放在沸水中煮,汤团在沸水的锅中欢腾一些时间,方可捞起来大吃特吃。那袅袅的热气和清清桂花香,怎不叫人口搀!,每到哪个时候我会看着奶奶给我盛汤圆。奶奶则会在一旁看着我狼吞虎咽......“慢点吃,慢点吃。小心烫着!”
吃完汤圆,我们全家人就会围着电视机看元宵“盛宴”瞧!舞台被装的火树银花,五彩缤纷。各色各样的争艳斗奇。演员们精彩的表演更是舞台的一大亮点。有小品相声歌曲舞蹈等等别出心载的表演,真是大饱眼福!
此时,我真想说:正月十五,是一个团圆的日子,是一个充满欢声笑语的日子。是一个张灯结彩的日子,礼花绽放的日子。

英语中有趣的双关语
所谓pun,通常是指利用一个单词的两个含义,或者利用两个特定的单词,达到“一语双关”的目的。比如下面第一句话,其中的grave有两个含义,一个是“严肃的”(形容词),一个是“坟墓”(名词),因此这句话的意思是:他不是一个严肃的人,除非他躺到坟墓里,才能严肃起来。再比如下面第二句话,其中的pray(祈祷)和prey(捕食),发音相同,外形相似,因此这句话的意思是:他们今天为你祈祷,明天就会加害于你。这就是两个典型的pun。
①He is not a grave man until he is a grave man.②They pray for you today and prey on you tomorrow.国外一个网站评选的2003年十大pun,下面是其中的三个例子,如果您能看懂、听懂,肯定会觉得pun很有意思。
①He drove his expensive car into a tree and found out how the Mercedes bends.他违章超速驾驶,结果将昂贵的名车撞到树上,他终于看到他的奔驰车(Mercedes)是怎样撞弯(bends)的。这句话的幽默之处是将Mercedes Benz(奔驰车)中的Benz,故意改写成bends。
②Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.这句话乍一看,好象是说:时光像箭一样飞逝,水果像香蕉一样飞逝。其实这句话后半部分的真正意思是:果蝇喜欢吃香蕉,也就是fruit flies/like/a banana。
③A bicycle can't stand on its own because it is two-tyred.这句话的表面意思是:自行车自己站不起来,因为它只有两个轮胎(two-tyred)。而这句话的另外一个意思是:这辆自行车被它的主人骑了很长时间,它现在太累了(too tired)。
怎么样,pun是不是很有意思?我下面再列出三个pun,但不告诉您意思,请您自己琢磨一下。如果您能琢磨出来,那说明您的英语水平已经很高了。
①She wore a new hairpiece every day and was considered a big wig.②Old math teachers never die, they just become irrational.③When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds
英文影片中易误解的词汇 2005-4-9 16:43:50
1.dude(老兄,老哥)
很多人认为该词单指“花花公子,纨绔子弟”的意思,实际上此词是叫男性年轻人的常用词,与guy的意思相同,只是guy用的范围更广。例子:Hey dude look at that girl.(喂,老兄,看那个女孩。)
2.chick(女孩)
容易被误解为“鸡,妓女”,实际上此词是叫女孩的常用词,语气中确实有轻佻、不尊重的倾向。例子:Look at that chick at the door.(看门口的那个女孩。)
3.pissed off(生气,不高兴)
千万别认为是“尿尿”的意思,piss off在字典中则是“滚开,滚蛋”的意思,实际上此词是表示“生气,不高兴”的意思,与angry同意。例子:Man,is that guy pissed of?(哎呀,那家伙真的生气了?)
4.Hey,Give me five(嗨,好啊!)
此短语非常流行,经常在大片中出现,常在击掌庆贺时用。例子:Hey, dude!Give me five!(嗨,老兄,好啊!)
5.freak out(大发脾气)
总是在片子中看到这个词,freak本义是“奇异的,反常的”的意思,但freak out是“大发脾气”的意思,out也可以省略,这个词在美语中很常见,老式说法是be very upset.例子:He's gonna freak.(他快要发脾气了。)
6.Get out of here(别开玩笑了,别骗人了)
大家很容易联想到“滚开”的意思,其实,现在很多时候都用在“别开玩笑了,别骗人了”的意思里,在美国片子中常可以听到。例子:You look very beautiful(你很漂亮)Get out of here.(别骗了。)
7.gross(真恶心)
此词不是“混乱”的意思,字典中gross是“总的,毛重的”的意思,实际上此词是表示“恶心”的意思与gag相近,是美国年轻人一天到晚挂在嘴边的词。例子:Yuck, what is this stuff? It looks gross.(哎呀,这是什么东西?真恶心。)
8.Hello(有没有搞错)
并不总是打招呼的意思,有时是“有没有搞错”的意思,要根据上下文来判断。例子:Hello, anybody home, we'll be late!(有没有搞错, 我们要迟到了!)
9.green(新手,没有经验)
不是“绿色”的意思,也不是“生气”的意思,有时表示“新手,没有经验”。例子:She's really green, she looks nervous.(她是新手,看起来很紧张。)
10.Have a crush on someone(爱上某人)
由于crush是“压碎,碾碎”的意思,因此整个短语容易被误解为“对某人施加压力”的意思,实际上此词表示“爱上某人”,与fall in love with 同意。例子:She thinks she has a crush on John。
英语顺口溜
英语中的俚语、口语或“顺口溜”很多,它们的意义,往往与字面意义不同,有时也不合文法的结构,所以正确了解和灵活使用,是学习英语者的难题之一。下面即是常见的一些,供读者参考。
1.to be(或 become)fed up with(someone 或 something):意思是对某人或某事感到讨厌或厌倦(to get tired of;to be disgusted or to get sick of);例如:I am fed up with his constant complaints.(他常常的抱怨令我厌烦。)We all became fed up with his long speech.(他的长篇演说我们都觉得讨厌。)
The husband has been fed up with his wife's nagging.(老公对老婆的唠叨感到厌烦。)如果只用「to be fed up」也可以:
I will not wait for her;I am fed up.(我不想再等她了;我厌了。)
(动词时态是:feed, fed, fed)可见这句俚语似乎有(被动味道),如果用 feed,意思又不同了。
例如:The mother will feed the baby with milk.(母亲喂婴儿牛奶。)(feed 是及物动词)
The cattle feed on grass(牛以草为生。)(feed 是不及物动词)
但是 The cattle were fed with the grass by the farmer.(农夫用草喂牛。)(cattle 是复合名词,意为复数);
可以说:I am fed up with him.(我讨厌他)
(但不能说:I feed up with him.)
2.to be in a rut:是指对每天同样的工作或是墨守成规一成不变的习惯,感到单调乏味。(to be tired of routine job;nothing new or excited)(rut 这个字本意是惯例或老套)。
例如:He has not been promoted for 20 years;he must be in a rut.(他廿年未获升级,一定感到单调枯燥。)
After thirty years of the same job, he feels he is in a rut.(干了卅年同样的工作,他觉得枯燥乏味。)所以要放弃单调枯燥的生活方式,就是 to get out of the rut.例如:If you hate your old job, you need to get out of the rut.(假如你不喜欢你的老工作,你就要走出乏味的日子。)
3.to cut the cord: 意思是父母要让儿女离家过著独立自主的生活
(let your children leave home and become independent)(只用於父母与儿女间的关系);例如:When your children are old enough to take care of themselves, you have to cut the cord.(当你的孩子长大可以照顾他们自己时,你就应该让他们自力更生。)(即切断依赖父母的脐带。)It is very difficult for many Chinese parents to cut the cord with their children.(许多中国父母很
难让儿女完全独立自主。)(注:这里的cord,是指umbilical cord 即脐带。)
4.to start from square one: 意思是上次没有成功,必须回到起点从头做起
(something did not succeed in the first place, have to start over again)(这与to be back to square one 意义相同);例如:He has to start from square one because his computer destroyed(crashed)his homework.(由於电脑搞坏了他的作业,他必须从头做起。)
The search committee for the new college president will have to start from square one.(选拔新校长委员会上次没有成功,现在又要从头做起。)We are back to square one.(我们又从头做起。)
5.to paint(someone)a picture:意思是解释某种情况,使人更加明白。(to explain the situation;to make things more clear);
例如:In order for you to understand better, I will paint you a picture.(为了使你更能明白,我愿加以解释。)
He will try to paint us a picture when he gives a speech.(他演讲时,尽量想法使我们明白。)

The artist painted a picture for his interior decoration.(画家为了他的室内布置而画了一幅画。)
6.to take a(或its)toll:意思是造成损失或有不良的影响

也就是:There is no enough evidence to prove what he has said.(可见hold no water=does not hold water)His theory holds water.(他的理论是有足够证明的)
Her constant excuses for being tardy holds no water.(或 does not hold water)
(她时常的迟到藉口,没有足够的理由。)
The U.S.bombing excuse did not hold water with China.(美国轰炸理由不足取信中国)也就是:

We all have to put our best foot on this project.(我们对这个计画要做得好才能给别人一个好印象。)
(注:通常不用复数feet,因为同时伸出两只脚,一定会跌倒,即使主词是多数,也是如此。)
11.to miss a trick: 意思是不了解全部实况或不能细心察看
(not to figure out a situation;don't know everything that is going on;not very perceptive of every situation.)

Many people were nickeled and dimed by their lawyers.The phone company is continually trying to nickel and dime us.(电话公司为了琐屑细节的服务,不停地向我们要每一个铜板。)
(注:本来 nickel 是五分钱,dime 是一毛钱,现在当做动词用,过去式和过去分词是:nickeled, nickeled;dimed, dimed)

Mr.Lin is trying to throw his weight around in his office.(林想影响办公室里所有的人。)He throws his weight around her.(他想控制她)

I have had a heart-to-heart talk(或 conversation)with my department chairperson.(我与系主任有个真诚坦率的交谈)(形容词用)We had a nice heart-to-heart.(我们有个倾心的交谈)(当名词用)
(所以heart-to-heart 可当名词或形容词)

英美国家的“厕所”文化
这样一则笑话:一个外宾想上厕所,便对翻译说:“I wonder if I can go somewhere?”(我可以方便一下吗?)而翻译却把somewhere误解为“某处”,因而回答道“Yes, you can go anywhere in China.”(行,中国你哪儿都可以去。)外宾不禁愕然。可见,如不了解英语中“厕所”的一些表达法是会误事的。
1.Public lavatory意为“公厕”,在公共场所,厕所门上都标有Gent's(男厕),或Ladies'(女厕),有时也标有Men's, Men's room, Gentleman's, Women's Women's room.如:Where is the Gent's?(厕所在哪儿?)If you would like a wash, the Gentleman's is just over there.(如果要上厕所,男厕就在那边。)
2.toilet是最常用的一个词。可指“公厕”,也可指“私厕”。例如:I wonder where the toilet is.(我想知道厕所在哪儿。)
3.lavatory是个客气的词,但不如toilet常用。
4.bathroom是书面语。
5.loo是一个口语词,在英国用得很普通,主要指私人住宅中的厕所。如:Excuse me, would you like to tell me where the loo is?(请问,厕所在哪儿?)
6.powder room是美语,女士常用。如:I would like to powder my nose.就表现了美国人的幽默。
7.wash room, washing room, westroom常用于美国英语。
8.W.C.是water closet的缩写,常用于英国英语,表示“有抽水没有设备的厕所”,有时也可用手势表示,即拇指和食指圈成圆,其他三指向上,模仿成英文W和C的形态。
9.John是俚语。如:Last night I went to visit John twice.(昨晚我去了趟厕所。)
10.go and see one's aunt是俚语,常用于英国英语,表示“上厕所”、“去大便”。
