2. Get the Ss to read the dialogue quickly and answer the question below
Which of the following does he talk about: grammar, vocabulary, spelling or pronunciation?
III Reading:
1. Get the Ss to read the dialogue silently. Ask them a few questions:
Is an American accent very different from a Canadian accent?
Do people have the same accent all over the country?
V Language Points:
1．A lot of people can’t tell the difference between an American accent and a Canadian accent.
（1） tell the difference between “知道……的区别，分得清……”，常和情态动词can连用。：
那为可敬的先生分不清绵羊和山羊。
That worthy gentleman cannot tell the difference between a sheep and a goat.
你能分清那对孪生姐妹吗？
Can you tell the difference between the twin sister?
（2）tell和can连用时，常表示“了解，认知”。
没有人知道接下来会发生什么。
Nobody could tell what would happen next.
（3）accent“口音”，“重音”
我们英语老师有明显的美国口音。
Our English teacher has very obvious American accent.
“photographer”这个单词是第二个音节重读。
The accent of the word “photographer” is on the second syllable.
2．We fill our cars with “gas”, which is American, but we turn on the “tap” which is British English.

mail post 邮件
movie film 电影

Dear Sir madam:
It's my pleasure to make application for the position of English teacher in your school, which you have advertised for in the China Daily.
I was born in 1969 in Beijing and graduated from the English Department, Beijing Foreign Language University in1991. One year later, I got the teacher's certificate. Since then, I've been teaching English in a middle school. Because of my fluent English, I am very popular among my students. I've worked as a head teacher for 5 years and once was made model head teacher. And I have hobbies, such as sports, music and painting. I'm on our school swimming team. In addition, I am cooperative. I'm the general secretary of the communist youth league in our school. So I believe I am competent at the job.
I hope that you give me an opportunity of interview and give a favorable reply.
Truly yours,
Li Qiang
