Unit 5 Advertise

Lesson 17教学设计方案

Step 1 .Presentation
Ask questions like these:
　　Where can you find advertisements?  Why do companies advertise?
　　Do you watch advertisements on TV?  Which are your favorite advertisements?
　　Put any useful notes and key words that arise out of this discussion on the Bb.

Step 2.Dialogue
(I.) Listening (Say to the class, “Now, we are going to listen to a discussion about an advertisement. It is a little bit long, so I’ll play the tape twice with only two questions.”)
Questions:
1. What is the advertisement for?
　　A. a camera  B. a computer  C. a typewriter   (Key: B)
2. What will the ad be like?
　　A. humorous  B. serious  C.exciting     (Key: A)
(II.) Reading
1. Ask the students to read the dialogue again, checking the answers. Then ask:
“What suggestion seems to be the final decision?”
(Key: Bob’s suggestion: Put comments of the customers’ at the top of the ad in big print and bring in some humor.
2. Say to the students, “In this dialogue we should learn how to express opinions: agreement or disagreement. Read the dialogue quickly again and I’m sure you can find several such expressions.”
( The students are sure to find these expressions. The teacher should praise them, encourage them to think of more and put the expressions down on the Bb. Also, the teacher should remind the students which are indirect and polite ways and which are direct.
Agreement:
　　1. I think it would be a good idea to do…
　　2. I agree with…
　　3. That’s true/ right.
　　4. Good idea!/ That’s great!/ Why not!/ Exactly!
Disagreement:
　　1. I’m afraid I can’t agree with you.
　　2. Sorry, I don’t think so.
　　3. Do you (really ) think so?/ Do you think…?
　　4. I don’t agree (with …).
　　5. I don’t think you are right.

Step3.Fill in blanks.

　　1.Do you think managers want to read what users think about a new piece of office equipment.

　　2.That’s a good way of giving information,but it’s not a good way of persuading people. For one thing, it’s boring, and people aren’t going to read an ad that looks boring.For another thing,one computer looks very like another.People aren’t going to remember the name of the product.

　　3.So what exactly are you suggesting?

　　4.Then we can put their comments at the top of te advertisement in big print.We can bring in some humour too. People enjoy reading humorous ads.

　　I’ll ask the company for a list of recent customers.

Step4.languag points:

　　1.I think it would be a good idea to have comments from secretaries and typists who are already using it  我想听听用过它的秘书打字员的评论是个好主意。

　　(1)句中的 have comment from…表达“听取…的意见／评价”，相当于listen to the views／opinions of…，from 接人，表听取别人的意见。e．g．
　　You‘d better have  comments from your teachers and classmates．你最好听听你的老师和同学们的意见。

　　(2) 这个句子是委婉地提出建议的交际英语。句中would是will的过去式，但在此句型中并不表示过去，而是用来代替一般现在时，在说话人提出建议时为了把话说得委婉一点、含糊一点，实际是一种虚拟语气e.g

　　 ---- I’m afraid I’m putting on weight．我恐怕发胖了.

　　------I think it would be a good idea to keep on doing morning exercises.　我认为坚持锻炼是个好主意。    

2.comment可用作动词，表达“批评，评论”之意。
　　 ①comment on／upon／about 对……作出评论，e．g．
　　 The critics commented favorably on his new book.评论家们对于他的新书给予好评。
　　另外, 对别人的提问、询问不想回答、不愿回答时，通常用 No comment（无可奉告）
2. We can bring in some humor too.我们还可以插进一点幽默的话。
　　这句中的 bring in意为“介绍，引进，还进”，相当于 introduce。bring in 带可表达“搬进，收获，挣得，逮捕”之意, in为副词。e．g．
　　①Bring in the washing ; it looks like rain.把洗好的衣服收进来，好像要下雨了。
　　②He brings in an extra hundred dollars a month from his new job．
　　他的新工作使他每个月多赚100美元。
　　③The farmers are bringing in apples.农民正在收苹果。
3.advertise:to make sth known to the public.(v.)

advertising(n): the business which concerns itself with making known to the public.

Advertisement(n)=ad: a notice for something for sale.

We should advertise for someone to look after the garden.

Step 5. SB Page 25 Part 2 Practice
　　The aim of this activity is to give students an oportunity to have a free discussion and to practise oral fluency. Go through the questions with the students. And then ask them to do group work.. When the students are working together, the teacher should go up and down among the students and give them any possible help. Make sure each student has a chance to show his/ her opinions.

Step6 Workbook

II.. Group work
　　 Divide the class into six groups. One of them is responsible for the structure of the text and each of the others is responsible for one of the five paragraphs. (Although the passage is not a long one, the language is plain enough for most of the students to deal with it easily. So just leave the students the tasks like analyzing the structure of the text, finding out the main ideas of the text and each paragraph, pick out the grammar items and useful expressions, so on and so forth. And this is a very good chance for the students to practice the reading skills they have learnt to deal with reading materials.) The teacher just goes around the class and gives any necessary help to the students.
Notes: 1. The title of the text and the first sentence of each paragraph( Paragraph 4 and 5 talk about the same thing.) are the subject word and subject sentences. The students are supposed to be aware of that and point it out. If they can’t, the teacher is sure to remind them of that.
　　2. There are several places where –ing and –ed words are used. The students may not pay enough attention to them so the teacher should point them out and encourage the students to think about their usage. For example:
　　a. advertisement --- advertising (n.),
　　b. …… repeated advertising increases……
　　c. ……, using pictures of photographs ……
　　3. When a student is talking about a paragraph, the teacher should not interrupt but listen. No matter in which language the student is speaking, the teacher just gives him or her encouragement. If one student cannot express herself or himself, another one can give some supplement

Step4. Fill in blanks:

　　1. Adevertising is a highly developed twentieth-centry industry.

　　2.Is it a waste of money? It has been proved again and again that repeated advertsing increases product sales.

　　3.USA political leaders often use recorded TV advertisements to persuade people to vote for them .

　　4.A sign outside or inside a shop is a form of advertising.Baloons and light aeroplanes can be used to pull huge signs as they fly slowly over a city.

　　5.Also present will be a person who thinks up an idea for an advertisement, and a person who will buy space in newspapers or time on TV.

　　6.They may try it out in a small part of the country to see the result.

　　7.If the advertising fails , having no effect on sales, the whole programme will be reviewed.

Step 5.language points:

　　1．The development of radio,television，cinema，magazines and newspapers has gone hand in hand with development of advertising．无线电、电视、电影、杂志和报纸的发展同广告业的发展是齐头并进的。
　　句中的 go hand in hand with表示“与……密切相关”，相当于go together with，其中 go with表示“相配，随……而来”之意。hand in hand为副词短语，表示“手牵着手，密切联系，和……一道”之意，后面常加介词with，再加名词。e．g．
　　①Money doesn’t always go hand in hand with happiness．金钱并不总是同幸福密切相关。
　　②Ignorance and poverty often go hand in hand．愚昧和贫穷总是紧密地联结在一起。
　　③I have no tapes to go with the book．我没有这本书配套的磁带。
　　④Hand in hand with reading，he has developing the habit of making notes．在阅读的同时，他养成了做笔记的习惯。
　　2.There have been major changes in advertising in the past sixty years．
在过去的 60年中，广告业有了一些重大的发展。
　　时间状语in the past sixty years与完成时连用，in the past＝during the last。例如：
In the past three days，they have had six examinations．三天来．他们进行了六次考试。
No one has been（come）here in the past week．一个星期以来，没人来过这里。
　　3. Mail or gifts posted by companies to customers is another way of advertising．公司给顾客寄去的邮件或礼品又是一种广告方式。
　　4.express后可用oneself 作宾语，表示“表达自己的意思（思想）感情等”。e．g．

　　 He is still unable to express himself．他还是不能表达清楚自己的意思。

　　(3)express还可用作形容词，表示“快递的，明确的，特别的，直达的”等意思。e．g．
　　①This is an express train．这是快车。
　　②She flew to London for the express purpose of seeing her son她为了探望儿子而特地飞往伦敦。
　　③This is an express letter for you．你的快信。

　　④He has never given express orders.他从未下过明确的命令。

　　5.Also present will be a person who thinks up an idea for an advertisement，

　　…出席会议的人还有广告的策划者，……
　　1)这是一个倒装句，其正常语序为：
　　A person who thinks up an idea for an advertisement will also be present…
　　因本句中的主语 a person后有定语从句修饰，使主谓之间的间隔太长，因而倒装，表语提至句首避免头重脚轻。
　　表语提至句首倒装的句型有两种：(1)表语+连系动词+名词主语+其他；（2）表语+代词主语+连系动词+其他。e．g．
　　①A very honorable man he is．他是个非常可敬的人。
　　②Standing against the wall are the umbrellas that have just been made．靠墙放着的是刚刚制出的雨伞。
　　2)句中的think up为动副（动词十副词）结构的短语，表达“想出，设计，构思，虚构”之意，相当于invent，imagine。e．g．

　　Delighted, the girls thought up many good ideas．姑娘们一高兴，想出很多好主意。
　　The prisoners tried to think up a plan for escape．囚犯企图拟出一个逃跑计划。

　　6.Isn’t it time you made someone’s life a bit easier？
　　你难道不早该让某些人的生活过得更舒服些吗？
　　It’s time sb．did sth．“是某人早该干某事的时候了。”
　　It’s time we had our supper.我们早就该吃晚饭了。
　　Is It time you got things ready？是你把一切准备好的时候了？

Step 6. Note making
SB Page 27 Part 2   Putting down some key words is enough. This part can be done very quickly.
Step 5. An advertisement
SB Page 27 Part 3( Also, an easy exercise. Pass it quickly.)
Step6. Homework:
1. Recite paragraph 4.  2. Try to design an advertisement.

Lesson 19教学设计方案

ADVERTISING(2)
 StepI.Reading Comprehension:(give the students 7 to 8 minutes to finish the exercises.)
1. According to the text, most people read advertisements for:        .
　　A. knowledge   　　B. fun
　　C. killing time    D. both information and fun   (Key: D)
2. Why do most advertisements begin with a question?
　　A. Because nobody knows the answer.
　　B. Because a question can make an advertisement funny.
　　C. Because readers will be interested in finding out the answer.
　　D. Because a question will win more customers for a company.  (Key: C)
3. What is very important in an advertisement?
　　A. A question. 　　B. Information.
　　C. Humor.  　　　　D. A story.  (Key: C)
4. What is one of the dangers of a series of advertisements?
　　A. Readers will be tired of reading too many texts.
　　B. Readers will lose patience.
　　C. Readers will forget the name of the product.
　　D. Readers will forget the advertisement. (Key: C)
5. What may turn a good advertisement into a bad one?
　　A. A question.　　　　B. A story.
　　C. Bad translation.　　D. The expensive price of the product (Key: C).

StepII.lanuage points:

　　1.What make a good advertisement？怎样才能使广告做得好呢9
　　句中的make是及物动词，作“（有条件）成为”解。原句相当于：What makes an advertisement a good one？
　　又如：Cold tea makes a good drink in summer．冷茶是夏季很好的饮料。
　　2.Nobody bought he product，however，because when translated it meant “X puts living things into dry hair” 

　　然而，谁也不来买这个产品，因为原句经过翻译之后，意思变成了“X使干发生虫。”
　　句中的 when translated＝when it was translated，相当于一个时间状语从句。
　　当从句的主语和主句的主语一致时，我们可将从句的主语和部分谓语动词省略，而采用分词的形式.  　　如：I won’t go unless Invited．（=…unless am invited．）如果没有邀请，我就不去了。
If playing all day，you’ll learn nothing．如果整天玩，你什么也学不到。
　　当从句是由引导词 十 it is/it was＋adj．这一结构时，可将it is或 it was省略，类似的说法有 when necessary，when possible，if necessary，it possible等。
　　又如：This difficulty must be avoided if possible．
　　If necessary，we’ll try our best to help you．（＝If it is necessary，…）如果需要，我们将尽力帮助你们
　　3. Is it a waste of money？广告是不是浪费钱呢？
　　句中的waste是不可数名词，但它表示一种浪费时，可与不定冠词a连用，用成 It is waste of time／money／breath／energy／speech to do sth.。e.g.
　　①It’s a waste of breath to talk to him．和他交谈自费口舌。
　　②It’s a waste of time to wait any longer．再等下去是白费时间。
　　4.A company that sold hair cream wanted to say“ x puts life into dry hair”
　　　一家卖发蜡的公司本来是想说：“X使干发生辉。”
　　句中的put…into的直接意思是“把……放入”，随着put后面所接名词的不同，含义异常灵活。
　　 ①put life into the dry hair（life为生命力、活力）使干发生辉。
　　 ②put living things into the dry hair（living things为有生命的东西）使干头发生虫。
　　5.Sometimes advertisements tell a story，or the story may be continued over a number of advertisements.    有时广告述说一个故事，或者这个故事在今后的一系列广告中连载。
　　句中的over为介词，在此处指时间，意为“在……中度过一段时间”。e．g．
　　① These apples will keep over the winter  可以把这些苹果一直保存到冬天以后。
　　② He has made great progress in his studies over the past two years．在过去的两年里，他在学业上取得了很大进步。
　　6. We had the idea tried out.  这个观点已验证过了。
　　这句的句式 have the idea tried out为过去分词 tried out做复合宾补。这句式常用在have／get／make／keep等动词后面，意思是“把／让某人某物怎么样”。过去分词做复合宾语时与句子的宾语存在着逻辑上的被动关系。e．g
　　① We shall have your luggage fetched from the airport．　我们将派人去机场把你的行李取回。
　　② He’s going to have a new advertisement filmed.  他准备马上叫人拍一份新广告。

听力阅读教案

I.Listening:

Advertising:Three people,Harry,Jenny and Brian, are discussing their advertising plans for a new product.

　　H=Harry       B=Brian         J=jenny

　　H: So,how much money have we got to spend?

　　B:Seven hundred and fifty thousand pounds. Jenny, what do you suggest?

　　J:I suggest that we use mainly TV, cinema and print.

　　B: I see,Magazines and newspapes. Can you give us your reasons?

　　J: Sure. First, our product looks good. So it would be a waste of money to use radio. Second, our product moves well,and it moves fast.So I want people to see it on the roads in our ads,going through the hills, that kind of thing.

　　B: What about advertising boards?

　　J:No.I prefer magazines and newspapers,and we haven’t got the money to do all three.So people will see the ad on TV and in the cinema.Then they’ll be able to read all about it when they’re sitting down, reading their newspapers and magazines.

　　H: I get the idea.Then customers can read the detailed product information and check the prices.

　　J: Exactly.

　　H:So no advertising boards. When do you want the advertising to start,Brian?

　　B:May the 1^st.That gives us three months to run to August 1^st when most people like to buy their new cars.

　　J:I see.So we’re talking about three months. And have you thought of a headline?

　　H: What about this one? “The new Century505 ----the car you always promised yourself.”

II.Reading comprehension.

　　A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers. “Last week,” said he, “my umbrella was stolen from a London Church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn’t get it back.”
　　“How did you write your advertisement?” asked one of the listeners, a merchant.
　　“Here it is,” said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read. “ Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street.”
　　“Now,” said the merchant, “I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of great importance. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I’ll buy you a new one.” The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote. “If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn’t wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street. He is well known.”
　　This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colours that had been thrown in, and his own was among them. Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.

　　Advertising gives useful information about which products to buy. But modern advertising does more than gives news about products and services. Today’s advertisements , or ads, try to get consumers(消费者) to buy certain brands(品牌) . Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can. sometimes persuade a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing, eat a special kind of cereal(麦片) , or see a movie. Consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it.
　　For example, you probab1y do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket. There are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves. You may not have space on a shelf for another. But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra-tasty and has a free prize in the box, you may want it.
　　Advertising must get attention. To be effective, it must be exciting, entertaining, or provide some pleasure. The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product. The idea is what the ad is really selling. One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports. That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy.

　　Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains, if a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class. Contrary to what many people believe, if you don’t eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
