A: Hi, Sue. How are you this morning? B: Hi, Yan. Morning! I'm fine. And you? A: I'm good. What would you like to do today? B: I'd like to buy some presents for my children. A: That's a good idea. What kind of things do you want to buy? B: Some clothes, perhaps. And maybe some traditional Chinese gifts. A: Ok. I know a good place to go to.
备注：
在第一个句子中，将问候语放在一起，更自然地流畅了对话。
第二个句子我把问候语放在一起，以保持句子的连贯*。
将第三个句子中的"want to"改为"like to"，更符合自然口语表达。
在第四个句子中，将"kind of things"改为"things"，因为前文已经提到要买礼物，所以重复使用"kind of things"有些多余。
在最后一个句子中，删除了"to go to"，因为"to go"已经被前文的"to buy"所覆盖，保持简洁表达。
You Are What You Wear2
Cathy: Hi, Adam, nice tie.
Adam: Thanks.
C: By the way, can I ask you a personal question?
A: Ask away!
C: How come you're the only one at the office who wears a tie to work every day? I'm not criticizing your fashion choices, and you don't have to answer if you don't want to.
A: No, I'm happy to answer that question! I assume you're like most people: you prefer to wear comfortable clothing whenever possible, right?
Cathy问了Adam一个personal question，询问Adam为什么每天上班都穿西装领带，而其他人不这样做。她还补充说，I'm not criticizing your fashion choices，表达出她的好奇心而不是批评的意图。Cathy承认，如果没事，她更喜欢穿得随便些。
C: Absolutely! If it's a special event or a business meeting or something, then sure, I'll put on a suit or a nice business dress. But I much prefer to dress more casually.
A: I understand that logic. But of course, you've heard about"power dressing,"right?
C: Yeah... if you wear nicer looking clothes, people take you more seriously, right?
A: That's the idea. I think everybody knows that the clothing we wear affects how others perceive us. But I've also discovered that what I wear affects how I think.
Cathy说，如果有特别活动或是要开会，她会穿正式一些，否则她更喜欢穿得随便些。Adam问Cathy有没有听说power dressing，也就是说，穿正式些会让别人更重视你。Adam说，他发现，穿着不仅影响别人对自己的看法，也影响自己的思维。
A: Well, there's a lot of research out there that says the position of our bodies affects our thoughts.
C: I've heard about that. I read an article that said if you sit up straight, your thoughts become sharper than if you were slouching.
A: Exactly! But there are some new studies that show what you are wearing can also affect your thoughts.
C: Give me an example.
A: Scientists found that students who were wearing white lab coats performed better on tests than students who were wearing their own clothes.
C: Ah! So because the white lab coat has an association with intelligence, the students' brains actually got more intelligent?
Adam补充说，现在的一些新的研究结果发现，what you are wearing can also affect your thoughts。一个人的穿着也会对他的思维产生影响。比如说，穿着实验室白大褂的学生，考试往往比穿日常衣服的学生成绩好，因为穿着白大褂，会让学生觉得自己智商更高，因此考试时大脑的表现也就更出*。
Do you want to go to a movie?教学反思3
整体教学反思： 在本单元的课程设计中，以电影为主题是一个很有趣且吸引学生兴趣的切入点。教师在上课时很巧妙地利用学生喜好的电影，通过相关任务型活动调动学生学习积极*，帮助他们掌握目标语言。尤其是在课堂活动设计上，教师巧妙地结合学生的喜好，使得学生更容易融入学习氛围。教师在最后的主题升华中强调了培养学生的情感，鼓励学生认识到他们对自己生活的主宰作用，为未来的幸福生活奠定基础。
细节教学反思： 第一节课的学习内容涉及电影类型单词，其中一些较难的单词需要进行反复带读，确保学生熟练掌握发音和意义。在句子呈现时，引入第三人称单数形式是很好的教学策略，帮助学生更好地运用所学语言。此外，强调电影类型单词的单复数比较也是一个有效的巩固方法。
第二节课通过巩固语言点的同时引入了连接词"and"和"but"的用法。在此过程中，需要加强对电影类型单词的读写练习，以确保学生更深入地记忆和掌握这些单词。对于这一单元中较难记忆的单词，可以考虑使用记忆法或游戏来增加趣味*。
第三节课主要学习评论电影的形容词，内容相对简单。教师在课堂中需要注重学生对一些重点语法的理解，例如learn about, with, also等。此外，通过小阅读的方式，促使学生运用所学语言进行理解和表达。
第四节课是一个读写课，围绕一篇课内和课外阅读展开。在教学过程中，强调学生掌握阅读技巧、理解关键语法，并记住重点短语和词汇。学生在阅读问题和写作方面的表现都很好，表明他们基本上掌握了本节课的学习内容。
