Unit5 summary
本单元的中心话题是大不列颠岛，通过各种形式的学习，让学生熟悉英国的文化背景以及生活方式，reading 部分介绍了不列颠岛的位置（location） 气候（climate） 文化（culture） 历史（history） 语言（language）等各方面的概况。通过学习，学生们比较全面的了解了大不列颠岛，为更好的英语学习奠定了基础。
Integrating skills 部分是一篇游记，作者描述了游历过程中所看到的salisbury的郊区风景，古迹，城市风貌，市民生活，贸易等。
本单元的语法是名词性从句，主要难点是如何正确辨别不同功能的名词性从句和辨别名词性从句与定语从句。通过大量练习，基本完成教学任务。
本单元教学体会最深的是：通过学习integrating skills 要求学生模仿这篇游记描述自己的家乡，有了可效仿的模式，大部分学生完成的不错，我感觉写作有了新的教学方法。
不足之处：文章较枯燥，由于时间限制，我没有补充太多的课外材料，学生的积极性不是太高，有待改善。

The film studio is like a large factory, and the indoor stages(舞台)are very big indeed. Scenery of all kinds is made in the studio: churches, houses and forests are all built of wood and card board. Several hundred people work together to make one film. Some of these people are the actors and actresses.

Dear Tom,
It is great to receive your e-mail. Now I’d like to tell you something that took place in my school yesterday. In the afternoon we held a growing-up ceremony for our coming 18-year-old birthday. At first we made an oath that as grown-ups we should have a sense of duty for our society from now on. Then we showed our thanks to our parents who had gone through hardships to bring us up and teachers who have been educating us patiently. And our teachers also gave us cards expressing their good wishes to us. Finally, we put on wonderful performances, singing and dancing. We learned a lot from the activity. I think it’s very important for us. I will remember the day in my life.
Yours.
Li Hua.
