一.本课要点及示例
在这一课里, 我们学习几个连接词, 比方 "既然" since, "虽然" although, "可是"nevertheless, "为了要" in order to 等等. 我们还要谈一谈有关移民的事情. 首先我们来听今天这一课的对话, 内容是说凯特跟她的同事比尔谈到了学校里的外国学生. 请你注意听英文老师的发音和语调.
M: Kate, how's the new student in your class doing?
F: The kid from Haiti? He's having a rough time communicating since he doesn't speak
much English. However, the other kids seem to include him pretty well.
M: Our students are used to new kids who don't speak much English since we have had so
many new immigrant1 families move into our school district.
F: Don't I know it! This year I have had a Vietnamese, an Ethiopian, a Cuban and the kid
from Haiti in my class. I spend a lot of time with them after class so that they can catch up.
M: It must have been hard for you since you have to give them special attention in order to
help them.
F: It has been. Nevertheless, it's really rewarding to see them progress and make friends.
现在我们再把对话听一遍. 请你注意听.
M: Kate, how's the new student in your class doing?

from Haiti in my class. I spend a lot of time with them after class so that they can catch up.

help them.

二.SINCE
首先我们练习用 since, s-i-n-c-e, since 来表明一件事情的原因. 比方,有一句话"他觉得别扭因为他长得跟别的孩子不同." 这句话英文可以这样说: He feels awkward2 since he looks different from the other kids. 现在请你注意听比尔提出跟海地来的那个学生有关系的问题, 比方: Why doesn't he speak English?接着凯特说出原因: He was never taught the language. 请你跟凯特一起这样回答问
题: He doesn't speak Englihs because he was never taught the language. 好, 现在我们开始.
M: Why doesn't he speak English?
F: He was never taught the language.
F: He doesn't speak English since he was never taught the language.

三.THEREFORE
下面我们练习用therefore, t-h-e-r-e-f-o-r-e,therefore来表明一件事情的结果. 比方"他还小, 因此他会很快学好英文." 这句话可以这样说: He's young. Therefore he'll pick up English quickly. 现在还是请你注意听比尔提出一些跟从海地来的那个学生有关系的问题, 比方: Will he make friends? 接着凯特说: Yes, the other kids like him. 请你跟凯特一起这样回答: The other kids like him. Therefore he'll make friends. 现在我们开始.
M: Will he pick up English quickly?
F: Yes, he's young.
F: He's young. Therefore he'll pick up English quickly.

M: Will he make friends?
F: Yes, the other kids like him.

四.HOWEVER和ALTHOUGH
下面我们作一组练习, 比较连接词 "然而" however, h-o-w-e-v-e-r, however 跟"虽然" although, a-l-t-h-o-u-g-h, although 在用法上的分别.比方老师念两个句子,第一个句子是: "他是移民." He's an immigrant. 第二个句子是 "然而他不觉得受排斥." However, he doesn't feel rejected. 学生就把两个句子合并成一句, 变为 "虽然他是移民, 但是他不觉得受排斥." Although he's an immigrant, he
doesn't feel rejected. 这组练习里的句子都是说到凯特班上那个从海地来的新学生, 比方他英文说得不好, 又有口音, 可是他不气馁, 还是设法跟同学交往等等. 请你跟学生一起作练习.
M: He's an immigrant. However, he doesn't feel rejected.
F: Although he's an immigrant, he doesn't feel rejected.
M: He looks different. However, he's accepted.
F: Although he looks different, he's accepted.
M: He has a rough time communicating. However, he isn't discouraged.
F: Although he has a rough time communicating, he isn't discouraged.
M: He cannot express himself clearly. However, he tries to make friends with the other kids. F: Although he cannot express himself clearly, he tries to make friends with the other kids. M: He speaks English with an accent. However, the other kids understand him.

五.NEVERTHELESS
除了 however 这个字以外, 另外一个字,也就是 nevertheless, n-e-v-e-r-t-h-e-l-e-s-s, nevertheless 也可以用来表示 "然而". 现在我们作一组练习, 一边学习这个连接词的用法, 一边谈一谈外国移民移居美国的经历. 练习的作法是老师用 although 作一个句子, 比方 "虽然移居很因难, 但是许多移民还是迁移到美国来了." Although it was difficult to resettle, many immigrants3 migrated4 to the United States. 学生就把句子改成: It was difficult to resettle. Nevertheless,many immigrants migrated to the United States. 这组练习里有些词汇可能你不熟, 比方 "谋生" make a living, "适应" adapt to, "苦难" hardship 等等, 请你跟学生一起作练习的时候特别注意. 现在开始.

the new life style.

F: They suffered hardships. Nevertheless, they don't feel regret.
六.IN ORDER TO
现在我们学习用 in order to, i-n o-r-d-e-r t-o, in order to. 这个词组可以用来表示"为了要".比方有两句话: "他们移居到新大陆."They migrated to the New World."他们要有新生活." They wanted to have a new life. 这两句话用 in order to 连接起来就变成:They migrated to the New World in order to have a new life. 现在我们作一组练习, 由老师念两句话, 学生就用 in order to 把两句话变为一句.这组练习的内容说的是外国人离乡背井移居美国的原因. 练习里有些词汇可能你不熟, 比方 "信仰宗教" to worship6 a religion. "政治动荡不安" political unrest, "先进技术" advanced technology, "团圆" to be united with 等等,请你跟学生一起作练习的时候特别注意. 现在开始.

八.听短文回答问题
首先老师给你念一篇文章介绍到美国定居的各国移民, 并且谈到美国为 什么是个大熔炉. 请你注意听.
America is a country of immigrants. Nearly the entire population can trace8 its origins to
someplace outside of the U.S. The group of people with the longest period of residence9 in North America are American Indians. It is believed that they migrated from Asia several
thousand years ago. The next people to come to what is now the U.S. were Europeans.
They came as colonists10 between 350 and 250 years ago. Many of these colonists came from England and settled along the Atlantic coast. Other colonists came from Spain and settled in Florida and in the southwestern part of the country. When the colonists had established themselves, large numbers of Africans were forced to come to North America as slaves.
Through the 19th century, many immigrants came to the U.S. The earlier ones were largely11 from Ireland, Germany and other parts of western Europe. Later, many immigrants came from northern and southern Europe and from Asia. In this century many Eastern Europeans have come to the U.S. and more recently thousands of people from Southeast Asia and the Caribbean area have come to live in the U.S.
These people have come to the U.S. for many reasons. Some came in order to make better lives for themselves in a new country. Others came so that they could worship their religions more freely. Many immigrants left their homelands because of war, political unrest or bad economic and living conditions.
Although most immigrants chose to come to the U. S. themselves, they often suffered
hardships getting to the country. The conditions in which many people lived when they first
arrived were very difficult. However, most immigrants managed to establish themselves
and have good lives in the U.S. The U.S. today is called the melting pot since people
who came from different countries have all become Americans.
现在请你回答问题. 你回答之后老师会把正确答案念给你听.
第一个问题是:
M: Where did American immigrants come from?
F: They came from all over the world.
第二个问题是:
M: What were some of the reasons for immigrants to leave their homelands?
F: Religion, war, political unrest, bad economic and living conditions were some of the
reasons for immigrants to leave their homelands.
第三个问题是:
M: Was it difficult for immigrants to get to the U.S.?
F: Yes, it was often difficult.
