在高一英语课本附录部分附上了各单元生词和习惯用语,其中最重要的就是以黑体印刷的词语。对于这部分词语必须重点掌握,因为它们是必学和必考的内容,也就是说是学生必须掌握的重点词语。一般情况下,学生只是停留在朗读和记忆这个层面,这显然是不够的,因为学习的最终目标就是为了运用。能正确朗读是第一步,能正确拼写出来是第二步,能默写出来是第三步,能正确使用才是最后的目的。为此,必须强化运用意识,真正做到学以致用,活学活用。当然,对于不同层次的同学来说,可以尝试不同的练习方法。
1.基础比较差的学生(学困生):可以从简单的模仿开始,一是可以直接模相关词语在课本的用法,另一方面可以参考英语词典的例句,在模仿的基础上再尝试自己造句;
2.基础一般的学生(中等生):可以直接尝试单句翻译,即用一个词或一个短语造一个句子;
3.基础较好的学生(良好生):可以尝试在一个或几个句子中连续用上多个词语,使其变成一个小语段;
4.基础很好的学生(优秀生):可以尝试用单元大部分甚至全部的重点词语自编一个故事或一段文字,可以是记叙文、也可以是说明文、还可以是议论文等。这是一个创作过程,可以充分发挥自己的想象力和创造力,有很大的发展空间,所以完全可以自由发挥。
下面以人教版普通高中课程标准实验教科书模块(3)第一单元为例:
1.本单元重点词语:take place,religious,in memory of,belief,dress up,trick, play a trick on,gain,gather,award,admire, look forward to,day and night,as though,have fun with,permission, turn up,keep one's word,hold one's breath,apologize,obvious,set off, remind,remind...of
2.学生运用范例(划线部分为本单元重点词语):
范例1:
A religious feast which is in memory of a famous poet took place yesterday.Many people dressed up and had fun with each other.But Xiao Ming didn’t turn up.He just set off for the square at that time.He was afraid he couldn’t keep his word.When he arrived ,he apologized to his girl friend.At last,she forgave him.When the celebration came to an end,they all looked forward to the next festival. (石婉秋)
点评:运用意识较强,能自编故事,活学活用,行文流畅,表达自然,而且运用词语较多,值得大家模仿学习。
范例2:I held my breath to look forward to his arrival,but he didn’t turn up,which made me disappointed because he didn’t keep his word. (江嘉怡)
点评:能把相关词语运用在小语境中,一句话用上了四个词语,而且比较连贯。
