In recent decades, however, many parks have been designed to provide entertainment. We call them theme parks. The new parks are usually huge places and have a variety of things to see and do. Theme parks have a certain ideaa certain theme that the whole park is based on. For example, a sport theme park will offer visitor sports to play or watch; a history or culture theme park will let us see how our ancestors dressed, worked and lived. The oldest theme park in the world is Disneyland. It seemed like a place of fantasy. Besides these, we have the marine or ocean parks, the science theme parks and so on to let us enjoy totally different experience from the real world.Step 2 Discovering useful words and expressions(Page35)Ask the students to fill in the form with the words from the text.U: So much for the revision, now please turn to Page35 in your book.

Five minutes later; the teacher corrects the translation with the class.Step 4 Discovering useful structuresGet Ss to learn some rules of word forming.In English, according to the form of the words, we can form words in the following ways.(1) Compounding: Words are formed by linking two or more words to make one unit. Compound nouns: fire-engine, green-house, earthquake, downfall, drop-in Compound adjectives: snow-white, firsthand, red-hot Compound verbs: sun-bathe, overcome, typewrite Compound adverbials: sideways, sky-high, where about(2) Conversion: This is a way which is unnecessary to change a word but only to change its part of speech.from nouns to verbs : house, conduct, digest etcfrom adjectives /adverbials to verbs : brave, wrong, etcfrom verbs to nouns: smoke, bathe etc(3) Affixation: Words with a prefix or suffix or both attached to a root is formed by affixation.Usually this way the word's speech is not changed.Adjectives: unable disloyal irregularVerbs: dislike untie transplant Nouns: nonconductor inability autobiographyBut if a suffix is used, the word's speech is changed.For example: agreement, inventor, foolish, discovery, failure, sharpenThe following prefixes can change the speech of a word, such as en-, be-, em-, a- etc.For example: rich(adj.)f enrich (v.); slave (n.) f enslave"); friend(n.) f befriend(v.)； etc.Ask Ss to finish Exl, Ex2, Ex3 and Ex4 of Discovering useful structures on P37 to practice the rules.Step 5 PracticePurpose: to get Ss to have the knowledge of the grammar through exercises.1. Ask Ss to tell the part of speech of each word in italics in the following:(1) Winter has past and spring has come.(2) She is a woman far past her youth(3) I'm tired of your ifs and buts(4) She is still but a child.(5) I can/t see where I was wrong.(6) Two wrongs don't make a right.(7) He closed his speech with a funny way.(8) Stay close together.Suggested answers: v (2) prep (3) n (4) adv (5) adj (6) n (7) v (8) adj2. Ask Ss to Join two simple words to make a compound word with the rules we learned. If necessary, tell the students to consult the dictionary.Examples: book +worm->bookwormgo homeat finder break work between shop walk bankfault man stage book out place back drop coffee marketSuggested Answers:(1) go- between (2) at- home (3) work shop (4) walk man (5) back book (6) coffee break (7) drop out (8) fault finder (9) market place (10) back stage3. Get Ss to finish the Exl Ex2 and Ex3 on P71P72 to strengthen the grammar and enlarge their vocabulary.Step 6 Homework1. Ask Ss to review the new words and phrases.2.
