教学建议
教材分析
本单元主要教学内容是围绕谈论过去经历的事情。Lesson 37主题是采访歌手。Lesson 38是介绍演唱会的过程。there be结构过去时态的陈述句，疑问句及否定句形式是本课的重点。Lesson 39是介绍旅游过的景点。Lesson 40是介绍父辈们的经历。一般过去时态的教学贯彻始终整个单元。要求教师多创设情景使学生能灵活掌握一般过去时态的用法。
Lesson 37的对话和Lesson 39选择式对话，突出了一般过去时态疑问句的句式特点，一定要用助动词did来完成(指的是行为动词)。Lesson 38和Lesson 40中的两篇文章“Yesterday’ in concert!”“My father”，不但训练了我们的阅读理解能力，而且教我们如何用一般过去时态去写过去的事情。同时“My father”给我们的单元写作训练提供了范例，可让学生模仿写一篇家人的文章。
关于37课的建议
在本单元的教学中，教师应以一般过去时态为主，综合各种时态创设不同情景，提高学生综合运用语言的能力。此练习可以在完成本课内容后进行。
（1）模拟家访
情景：教师到兰蓝家去家访。教师先准备一个家访提纲如下：
Name: Lan Lan
The past: always forget her homework, sometimes late for school, careless
Now: study hard, never forget her homework, get to school early
学生先进行讨论：如果你是家长你怎么问，如果你是老师你怎么回答。
组织学生进行对话如下:
Lan Lan’s father: Hello！
Lan Lan’s teacher: Hello！Are you Lan Lan’s father?
Lan Lan’s father: Yes, I am.
Lan Lan’s teacher: I am Lan Lan’s teacher.
Lan Lan’s father: Glad to meet you.
Lan Lan’s teacher: Glad to meet you too.
Lan Lan’s father: Can you tell me something about Lan Lan?
Lan Lan’s teacher: Ok.
Lan Lan’s father: Did Lan Lan often forget her homework?
Lan Lan’s teacher: Yes. But not now. She always finishes her homework on time.
Lan Lan’s father: Was she often late for school?
Lan Lan’s teacher: Yes, she did in the past. but now she never gets to school late.
Lan Lan’s father: Is she still careless?
Lan Lan’s teacher: No, she studies harder than before.
（2）教师可以组织学生按照课文进行角色表演。
（3）课本的第二部分主要是讲解there be结构过去时态的陈述句，疑问句及否定句形式，教师可以将它改编成一段记叙文。如下：
There were four singers in the band last year. There were also some women in it.
But there was a problem at that time. One of the singers wasn’t good. People didn’t like her. There are three singers now. There isn’t a problem any more.
笔头训练建议
要求学生能讲述一个自己所经历的故事，教师可以设计一个开头，如：It was Sunday yesterday. I went to the park with my classmate. It was very hot. On my way to the park I saw an old man walk along the street. Suddenly, he fell down the street 让学生自由完成后续部分。
根据阅读课文My father来写一篇介绍学生家庭成员(grandmother/ grandfather)的文章。让学生先就课文所提示的问题向他们的祖父母进行调查，这些问题涉及到他们的出生年代，所受教育，婚姻、子女及工作状况。然后分小组对各人所了解的情况进行讨论，以便互相补充和启发。
关于there be结构的一般过去时的建议
教师在引入时应使用比较法让学生自己比较下列句子的区别，总结出两种时态在意义上和在结构上的区别。
（1）There is a book on the desk. There was a book on the desk a moment ago.
（2）There are some apples in the bag. There were some apples on in the bag yesterday.
然后教师在使用实物教学使学生完全掌握此结构。例如教师在桌上放一些实物问What is / are there on the desk? 学生根据实际情况答There is / are …on it. 教师还可问Is there…? Are there…? How many …are there? 并把这些问题写在黑板上。问答完毕，教师可把桌上的东西收起来，然后问：What was there on the desk a moment ago? Was there…? Were there…? How many …were there? 等问题，可帮助学生回答。
There be 结构与have / has
在英语里表示“什么地方或时间存在什么事物或人”时，要用there be结构。在此结构里，there 是引导词，本身没有词意，be是谓语动词，be后的名词是主语，主、谓语的数必须一致，句子的结尾是地点或时间状语。如：
There is a ruler on the desk.
There are many students on the playground.
在使用这个结构时应注意以下几点：
1. there be结构变成否定式时，须在动词be后加not（a / any）或no。变成疑问句时，将be放在there之前，句中如有助动词时要把助动词放在there之前，句子其余部分不变。如：
There aren’t any pencils in the pencil-box.
There are no pencils in the pencil-box.
Is there any milk in the bottle?
Will there be a meeting next week.
2. there be结构有两个并列主语时，要根据就近的主语原则确定谓语是单数还是复数。如：
There is a boy and two girls in the picture.
There are two girls and a boy in the picture.
3. There be 结构中的be可有不同的时态，而且可以和各种助动词和情态动词连用。如：
There is going to be a sports meeting in our school in May.
There must have been an accident there. （现在完成时，以后我们会学到的）。
4. there be结构中的谓语动词be，有时可用seem to be, happen to be, used to be, stand, live等词或词组来代替。如：
Once upon a time, there lived in Greece a great thinker named Aristotle.
从前在希腊居住着一位名叫亚里斯多德的伟大思想家。
There seems to be something wrong with you.
There stands a tall tower in the middle of the square. 在广场中央竖立着一座高塔。
5. 注意there be 结构与have / has 的区别。there be表示“存在有”，而have / has 则强调人或物体本身“具有”（has 只用于第三人称单数）。如：
My sister has many toys.
China has a long history.
We have a lot of friends.
have / has变成否定式时，应在其后加not或借助于助动词don’t或doesn’t；变成疑问句时，将have / has提在主语前或借助于助动词do或does放在主语前。如：
I have not a bottle of orange.
I don’t have a bottle of orange.
Do you have a red pen?
Have you a red pen?
注：I have no Chinese car. = I don’t have a Chinese car.
