You know I live far from school. I often take buses to come here. But it takes me more than an hour. What about you? Today, let’s talk about how you go from one place to another. And we will talk about the time it takes to get to places and how far it is between two places.

Now please look at the five transportation pictures. And we’ll listen to two conversations. The people are talking about how students get to school and how long it takes. Listen carefully and put a checkmark to show the kinds of transportation they talk about. Check your answer. 35minutes 10 minutes 40 minutes 25minutes

Listen carefully again and match the time with the kinds of transportation. Let’s check the answers. Tapescript Conversation 1 Boy: How do you get to school? Girl: I take the train.

Tom: And how long does that take? Girl: It only takes ten minutes. Look at the sentences on the board. “They take the train. It takes about forty minutes.” “Take the train” means to ride the train. And we also use “take” to talk about a length of time. For example, it takes me 20minutes to get to school. So we use the same word, take, in two different ways.

Now read the tapescript, shadow the how questions and underling the expressions. 2d Doing pairwork

Part 2: Teaching resources(第二部分:教学资源) I. Background reading 1.Traffic in England

When you are in England, you must be very careful in the streets because the traffic drives on the left. Before you cross a street, you must look to the right first and then the left.

If the traffic lights are red, the traffic must stop. Then people on foot can cross the road carefully.

If the traffic lights are green, the traffic can go. People on foot mustn't cross. In the morning and in the evening when people go to or come from work, the streets are very busy. Traffic is the most dangerous then.

When you go by bus in England, you have to be careful, too. Always remember the traffic moves on the left. So you must be careful. Have a look first, or you will go wrong.

In many English cities, there are big buses with two floors. You can sit on the second floor. From there you can see the city very well. It's very interesting! III. Word studies （词语学习） 1.take
