T:You all did very well.Please open your books and turn to Page 45.Finish Ex.2 in Word Study.You may use the rules of word formation to help you.First do it by yourself,and then check your answers with your partner.Finally,check your answers with the screen.(After the students have finished and checked them with their partners,teacher shows the following on the screen.)

T:Now,let’s look at Ex.1.Pick out one word from each group that is different.Before doing,I’ll give you an example first.(Teacher writes the following on the blackboard:injustice impossible unhappy important disappear,and then says the following.)Look at the blackboard,please.Here are five words.Among them one word is different from the others.Can you pick it out?
S9:The word “important” is different from the others.
T:Pleae tell us why it is different.
S9:I use the rules of word formation to pick it out.Because these words are all with some negative prefixes except “important”.The word “important” cannot be divided into two parts “im+portant”,if so,it will not be a complete word and lost its meaning.Am I right?
T:Yes.you’re right.Do you know how to do the exercise?
Ss:Yes.
T:OK.Now,please do it quickly.After a while,I’ll ask some students to say your answers and explain them.(A few minutes later.)Are you ready now?
Ss:Yes.
T:The first group,Wang Li,please.
S10:“Heater”is different from the others.Because each of these words has an suffix “-er”,but their meanings are different.All the words refer to a person except “heater”,which refers to a thing.
T:Good.Let’s go on.The second one,Li Jun,please.
S11:The word “respect” is different.Because the word cannot be divided into two parts “re+spect”,if so,its meaning is lost,while the other words are made up of two parts:re+construction/cover/place/build.The prefix “re-” means “again”.
T:Quite right.Next student,go on,please.
S12:“Monument” is different from the others.Because we know when we add the suffix “-ment” to a verb,the verb will be changed into a noun,while the word “monument” doesn’t belong to the case.
S13:“Post-war”is different.Because the prefixes“non-,un-,in-”in these words all mean “not”,while the prefix“post-”in the word“post-war”means“after”.
S14:The word “entry” is different from the other words.Except “entry”,the others are adjectives.They all have a suffix “-y”,while “entry” doesn’t have.The “-y” in the word is not a suffix.
S15:“Display” is different.We know “dis-” is a negative prefix,meaning “not”.When we add the prefix to a word,the word’s meaning is opposite,while “display” is not the opposite of the word “play”.
T:You all did very well.
Step Ⅳ Grammer
T:Now,please look at the sentences on the screen.
(Teacher shows the following on the screen.)
It is impossible that lost time can be made up.
2.Rules are made so that they can not be broken.
3.I don’t mind their inviting him.
4.She enjoys their interviewing her.
Rewrite the sentences on the screen using the correct non-finite passive form.Before doing them,let’s review non-finite verbs together.
T and Ss:The verb that cannot be used as the predicate is called the non-finite verb.The “v.-ing,v.-ed or to do cannot act as the predicate,so we call them the non-finite verb.”
T:OK.Do you know the passive form of the non-finite verb?
S16:The passive form of them is separately “being done” “or“to be done”.(Teacher writes them on the blackboard.)
T:Very good.Please finish the sentences on the screen.After a while,I’ll check your answers.
Suggested answers:
1.It is impossible for lost time to be made up.
2.Rules are made to be broken.
3.I don’t mind his being invited.
4.She enjoys being interviewed.
T:Well done!Turn to Page 46 and do Ex.1 in Grammar.Rewrite the following sentences using the correct non-finite passive form.Before doing it,you can go through with the given example first.Five minutes later,I’ll check the answers with the whole class.Is that clear?
Ss:Yes.
T:OK.You can begin.
(After five minutes,teacher checks the answers.)
Suggested answers:
1.I expected to be told more about the south of the US.
