3. 听activity 4， 回答activity 5的问题，完成后让学生小组内交流答案。 四、理解意思
小组间合作解决activity 4中不懂的地方，教师适时点拨。 五、突破重点与难点
（一）对重点内容和疑难问题进行合作探究学习。
1.We're going shopping for Spring Festival.意思是 _______________________。 本句是一个现在进行时态，但表示 。在英语中，可以用表示位置移动的动词（如：go, come, leave, arrive, fly等）的现在进行时态表示将来。
【练习运用】
火车就要到了The train ______ _________.
自主造句： _______________________________________________________. 2. You must be joking. 意为 。must是个情态动词，在本句中表示推测，可能性很大，翻译成 。
【练习运用】
他肯定在家。He must ________ ________ home.
自主造句：_______________________________________________________. 3. It might be windy. 汉语意思是 “ ____________ ”。 We might go to Australia.汉语意思是“ ___________ ”。
（1）might 可以，可能。might是情态动词 的过去式，可以用来表示推测。 [拓展]
常用的表示推测的情态动词有must, can/could, may/might等。他们用在句中表示推 测时，没有时态的区别，只是表示语气的强弱。could, might表示推测时不是 时态。 情态动词: must may might can’t
1. must (一定): 表示具有很大的可能性. He must be ill . He doesn’t come today . 2. may (可能): 暗含不确定的意思. He may be at home .
3. might :表可能,但它的含义比may 更不确定. He might come soon
4. can’t (不可能)：有确凿的证据表示不可能。That beautiful T-shirt can’t be Tom’s. He hates black color. 自主造句： _________________________________ . (2)windy是形容词，意为“ ”，由名词wind+y构成。
英语中有很多名词加后缀y变成了形容词，本课学过一些表示天气的单词，请写下来。rain--rainy, . 4. What will the weather be like?意为“____ ”。此句是用来询问将来的天气。
【练习运用】
明天的天气怎么样？___________________________________________________ 自主造句：____________________________________________________________. 5. We’re off to Hong Kong. 我们要动身去香港。
be off to = go to / leave for 意为“动身去…..”。
句中off 是副词，表示“分离；移动”之意，作为be动词的补语时，也可视为形容词。
【练习运用】
We’re off to Shanghai..= We Shanghai. =We Shanghai. 自主造句：____________________________________________________________. 6.小组自我补充
（二）自主完成后，小组合作，交流学习成果，共同释疑。 （三）让学生疯狂朗读以上重点知识。
