15、g, you may feel Manhattan is the fast-pace city with no personal touch. What cause you such feeling? Now read through “Learning about the language”, and you will find the answer.To make your story impressive, you need to give vivid descriptions using your observation and imagination. When describing

16、 a setting, you can use adjectives to create a mood. Adjectives such as “dark”, “black”, or “deserted” can create a mysterious atmosphere in outer space.T explains what the mood is.T: Maya Angelou said: “Ive learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people w

17、ill never forget how you made them feel.” Now what is mood? It is what readers feel. It affects them psychologically and emotionally. T: Would you please give us an impressive description of creating a mood?Sample answers: In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit (霍比特人). Not a nasty, dirty, wet

18、hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort. 【设计意图：此处是第一个技巧：运用形容词创造情绪，用一个带几个形容词的句子引入，让学生感知运用形容词的力量。再读教科上的理论，然后用Maya Angelou的名言来说明形容词用于描写的重要性，最后以霍比特人小屋描写为例，让学生深入体会这种写作技

Paul was nervous but also excited to be the first human visitor to another planet. Wa

24、lking out of the spaceship, Paul noticed that this was an unusual planet. He could see strange buildings, trees and animals. Suddenly, a green space monster with three octopus legs, one enormous yellow eye and a mouth full of sharp teeth moved quickly towards Paul. He realized that he was in danger!

25、 Paul tried to run back into the spaceship, but the door was locked. The space monster moved past Paul and jumped up at Alf. The monster was giving strange growls and was attacking Alf, so Paul looked for a place to hide. He ran into a building close by, running up the stairs as fast as he could. Bu

26、t it was too late he could hear the growling monster coming after him up the stairs. Luckily, Paul saw a big cupboard and he quickly hid inside it.

28、Paul, yawned, and promptly fell asleep. Paul was still shaken up but felt relieved to know that the “scary” monster was not dangerous after all, and actually just wanted to lick his face.

32、t by 2050, the worlds population will explode from todays seven billion to over nine billion. We do not have a clue what the possible consequences would be. Not surprisingly, quite a number of people are toying with the idea of leaving this planet and seeking a new future in outer space. The most st

33、raightforward benefit of populating outer space would be that it increases humanitys chance of survival. By moving a certain portion of the population to otherplanets, we could relieve the Earth of its burden: overpopulation. Plus, the whole of humanity is stuck on the Earth and history has taught u

34、s that it would not be wise to put all our eggs in one basket. Should any planetary disaster happen, for example, an asteroid crashing into our home, it would wipe out the entire human race. Taking the first steps towards a permanent settlement on other planets will also benefit humanity in other wa

35、ys. The missions to outer space have helped and will continue to help us develop advanced technologies that will no doubt have practical applications back on the Earth. For example, shock absorbers, originally designed to protect astronauts during the extreme conditions of space shuttle launches, ar

36、e now used in many earthquake-prone areas. In addition, these great projects will bring humankind together. Once we focus on such an ambitious common goal, we can put our differences aside and instead work towards achieving it. It is true that the Earth is the only home human beings have ever known. However, remaining a single-planet species would severely limit our chances of long-term survival. To save ourselves from the tragic fate of dinosaurs, we need to seek ways to overcome these challenges, leave the Earth and reach for the stars.4
