SECTION A
Goals
To learn to use How much questions
To learn to ask about price and talk about clothing
To learn to thank someone
Procedures
Warming up by learning the grammar focus
Turn to page 38 and let’s learn to ask the how much question.
How much is the red sweater?
It’s eight dollar. (It’s ＝It is)
How much are these black pants?
They’re ten dollar. (They’re ＝They are)
Warming up by looking and saying
Hello, everyone!
I’m happy to meet you again. Today we shall take up Unit 7 “How much are these pants?”
Look at these two pictures please. They are pants and sweater. Do you know how I can say if I want to buy this beautiful sweater in a shop? Mary, please help me make a dialogue. Suppose you are the salesperson and I’m the customer. I’ll ask you, How much is this sweater? You tell me the price, for example, it’s 10dollars. And I’ll say, OK, I’ll take it. Now let’s have a try.
T: How much is this sweater?
Mary: It’s 10 dollars.
T: I’ll take it.
The rest of you shall listen carefully and repeat after us.
1a Matching words
Look at the picture on page 41 in your book. What can you see in the picture? That’s right. There are many clothes and some people in the shop. Can you name these clothes? Now match the words with the objects in the picture by writing the letters of the objects on the lines next to the words.
Check the answers:
1 . socks b 5. bag c
2. T-shirt g 6. hat f
3. shorts a 7. pants e
4. sweater d 8. shoes h
1b Listening and circling
Look at the picture again and tell me the names of the items of clothing to make sure you know these words. Now let’s listen to the recording and circle the clothing item you hear.
Tapescript:
A: How much is the hat?
B: The hat is six dollars.
A: And how much are the shorts?
B: Oh, they’re eight dollars.
A: And the sweater? How much is the sweater?
B: Let’s see. The sweater is nine dollars.
Read the tapescript to underline the how much question.
1c Doing pairwork
Now practice the conversation in the box. And then make your own conversations.
Sample conversations:
1. A: How much is this sweater? B: It’s thirty dollars.
2. A: How much are these shorts? B: They are eight dollars.
I’ll ask some pairs to say your conversations to the class.
2a Listening and circling
On page 38 are six colored boxes. Point to them and read their names out. They are black, white, red, green, blue, and yellow. And here are two caps and two T-shirts. Which one is big and which one is small? Which one is short and which one is long? Point to them and read the words aloud.
Small big short long
Now look at the six pictures in 2a. We shall listen to six conversations about them. Listen carefully and circle the picture of the article of clothing the person is talking about.
Check the answers:
These items are circled: the green T-shirt; the black bag; the red shorts; the green sweater; the big, blue hat; the long, blue and yellow socks.
Tapescript:
Conversation1
A: How much is the green T-shirt? B: It is eight dollars.
Conversation2
A: How much is the black bag? B: It is two dollars.
Conversation3
A: How much are the red shorts? B: They are nine dollars.
Conversation4
A: I like this green sweater. How much is it? B: It’s seven dollars.
Conversation5
A: I like big blue hats. Do you have one? B: Yes. I have this one here.
A: How much is it? B: It’s five dollars.
Conversation6
A: I like those long, blue and yellow socks. How much are they?
B: They’re two dollars.
2b Listening and filling
Listen to the recording again. This time please write down the prices on the price tags. All the items in each group are the same price.
Check the answers:
hats--$5; sweaters--$7; shorts--$9; T-shirts8; socks--$2; bags--$2;
Read the tapescript to underline the how much question and study its structure.
2c doing pairwork
Just now we heard something about the items of clothing in the pictures in 2a. We now know their colors, prices and so on. Now look at the dialogue in the illustration in 2c and make your own conversations in pairs like that using the items of clothing in the pictures in 2a. Then I’ll ask some pairs to perform your conversations for us.
Sample dialogue:
S1: How much are the blue shorts?
S2: They are nine dollars.
S1: How much is the yellow T-shirt?
S2: It’s eight dollars.
3a Reading and filling
Look at the picture in 3a. What item is the girl buying? Yes, she’s buying a blue sweater. Here is an uncompleted conversation about the picture. Read it and write the correct word in each blank.
Check the answers:
Clerk: Can I help you?
Mary: Yes, please. I want a (1) sweater.
Clerk: What (2) color do you want?
Mary: Blue.
Clerk: Here you are.
Mary: (3) How much is it?
Clerk: 20 dollars.
Mary: I’ll take it. (4) Thank you/Thanks.
Clerk: You’re welcome.
Now let’s read the article loudly after the tape sentence by sentence. Try to imitate the pronunciation and intonation of the native reader.
Culture note: The difference between Thanks, Thank you, and Thank you very much
Thanks is used in informal situations or in situations when the person helped you in a not very important way. Thank you is the standard form, which is acceptable in all situations. Thank you very much is used only when someone has done something special to help you. The tone of voice can also add meaning to a statement of thanks. A warm, meaningful Thanks sometimes means a lot more to the listener than a more formal Thank you.
3b Doing pairwork
Let’s look at the pictures in 3b.
Please talk about the name and color of the objects.
Then read the conversation in 3a in pairs again and
make your conversations like that using the clothing in the pictures I 3b. You can decide the
price of each item by yourself.
Sample conversation:
S1: Can I help you?
S2: Yes, please. I want a hat.
S1: What color do you want?
S2: Black.
S1: Here you are.
S2: How much is it?
S1: 5 dollars.
S2: I’ll take it. Thank you.
S1: You’re welcome.
Closing down by playing a game
Now read the sentences in the pictures. Do you know how to play the game? This is a memory game. Each person says the name of an item of clothing and a price. You have to remember all the items and all the prices you hear. You can play the game in groups of four. For example:
S1: The blue sweater is seven dollars.
S2: The blue sweater is seven dollars.
The red socks are two dollars.
S3: The blue sweater is seven dollars.
The red socks are two dollars.
The yellow hat is five dollars.
S4: The blue sweater is seven dollars.
The red socks are two dollars.
The yellow hat is five dollars.
The green T-shirt is six dollars.
S1: ......
Are you clear? If someone doesn’t say the sentence correctly, the others will say NO! Let’s begin.
SECTION B
Goals
● To learn the numbers 10-31
● To improve the listening and writing skills
Procedures
Warming up by talking about plans
Last class we learned how to buy a thing and how to talk about the price. When we talk about the price, we’ll use the numbers. And you have learned the numbers 1 to 9. This class we’ll study the numbers 10 to 31.
1a listening and repeating
Look at the numbers in the box in 1a on page 44. Listen to the recording and repeat one by one. Please pay more attention to the pronunciation of twenty and thirty. They are often pronounced differently than they are spelled. The word twenty is often pronounced twenny. The second “t” disappears. This is especially true when the twenty is followed by another number as in twenty-one. Also, the second “t” in the word thirty often sounds like a “d”. Most native speakers of English sounded like they’re saying thirdy instead of thirty.
Tapescript
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31
1b Writing the numbers
Just now we listened to the numbers from ten to thirty-one.
Now please match the numerals and number words individually and find out which rows are in the wrong order.
Check the answer: The second row and the fourth row are in the wrong place.
2a Listening and circling
Now we are going to hear a conversation between a mother and her daughter. They are talking about buying clothes. Listen carefully and circle the numbers you hear the mother and the daughter say. One of the numbers is given.
Check the answer:
Circled numbers: 15, 11, 20, 16
Tapescript:
Mom: Oh, look. I like that blue sweater. How much is it?
Lisa: 15dollars. Oh, look. I like these socks.
Mom: Oh, no. I don’t like red.
Lisa: Do you like this?
Mom: Mmm, yes, I do, but it’s 11 dollars.
Lisa: Oh. How much is the green sweater?
Mom: it’s 20 dollars. But you have a green sweater.
Lisa: Mmm.
Mom: Oh, look at these shorts.
Lisa: Oh, yes, I like those. How much are they?
Mom: Only 16 dollars.
Lisa: OK, I’ll take those.
2b Listening and circling
Let’s listen to the conversation again. This time please circle the things that Lisa and her mother talk about.
Check the answer:
Circled items: blue sweater, rd socks, white T-shirt, green sweater, shorts
2c Doing a pairwork
Now let’s do pairwork. Read the dialogue in the speech bubble and make your conversations about the clothes in the picture in 2b. Then I’ll ask some pairs to say your conversation to class.
Sample conversation:
S1: How much is the white T-shirt?
S2: It’s 11 dollars. How much are the shoes?
S1: They are 8 dollars….
3a Reading and filling
Here is an advertisement in the newspaper about SALE. You see, the blue sweater is only 25 dollars. Read the advertisement carefully and fill in the rest of the price tags. While reading try to divide / the sentences into parts.
Check the answers:
5 18 25 12
Huaxing Clothes Stare SALE!
Come/ and buy your clothes/ at Huaxing’s great sale! Do you like sweaters? We have sweaters/ at a very good price-only ￥25! Do you need bags/ for sports? We have great bags/ for only ￥12! For girls, we have T-shirts/ in red, green, and white/ for only ￥18! For boys, you can buy socks/ for only ￥5 each! Anybody can afford/ our prices!
Come/ and see/ for yourself/ at Huaxing Clothes Store!
OK, now please read aloud the advertisement as the recorder goes. When you read, you should pay more attention to the pronunciation and intonation. Try to imitate the native reader.
3b Writing an advertisement
Now you can write your own advertisement. Use this ad to write your ad. Suppose you are next door to Huaxing. Your ad must be better! Then I’ll ask some pairs to read your ads to the class.
Sample ad:
Mr Cool’s Clothes Sale
Come to Mr Cool’s Clothes Store! We sell pants for only ￥30. Do you like hats? We have several kinds of lovely hats for ￥5 each! We also have great bags for only ￥8! For students, we have some kinds of shoes at a very good price-only￥ 20! They are very cool! And that’s not all!

Why is the salesman unhappy at the end? Yes, he wanted to sell a lot of clothes. He thought the boy was going to buy shorts, a sweater and socks. But the boy just bought the socks instead!
Part 2: Teaching Resources(第二部分:教学资源)
I.Background readings
1. Kinds of shops
Shops are divided into multiple categories of stores which sell a selected set of goods or services.
Many shops are part of a chain: a number of similar shops with the same name selling the same products in different locations. The shops may be owned by one company, or there may be a franchising company that has franchising agreements with the shop owners (see also restaurant chain).
Some shops sell second-hand goods. Often the public can also sell goods to such shops. In other cases, especially in the case of a nonprofit shop, the public donates goods to the shop to be sold (see also thrift store). In give-away shops goods can be taken for free.
For details on the various types of retail stores see:
Army-navy stores; Bookstore; Convenience store; Department store; Dollar store; Electronic commerce, B2C; General store; Hardware store; Hobby store; Hypermarket; Mail order; Pet store; Pharmacy; Sex shop; Sports Store; Supermarket; Superstore; Surplus store; Thrift store; Travel agency
2. 英国购物习惯
在英国有一些购物习惯与我们国家的做法不同。在商店里没有讨价还价的习惯；顾客需要按商品的标价付款。英国人著名的排队习惯在购物时尤其适用。你可能并不总会看到一个队，但等候的人们要依次轮流购物。在自助商店和街头市场，记住带上你自己的购物袋，因为很多商店的手提购物袋是要收费的。不过，在自助商店里，永远要把商品首先放在商店提供的铁丝篮子里，付了款之后才把商品放到你自己的袋子里。如果你忘记这一条而把商品直接放进自己的袋子里而没有付款就离开，你可能会被指控为“入店行窃”，这可能会导致被警方控告犯有盗窃罪。不幸的是，在英国的一些地方，“入店行窃”是一种相当普遍的盗窃方式，因此很多商店装有电子检测设备，并在起诉方面采取一种强硬政策。游客如果打算购买昂贵的家用物品，可以在公共图书馆查阅一下“Which”这份杂志。这份杂志对各个厂家产品的价钱和质量做出比较。在大超市购物，不用担心质量和价格有什么欺诈，在付款后，收款机会打印出一张详细的收据，内容包括：商场名称，当天的值班经理的名字、售货员姓名、购货种类、数量、价格、付款方式、找零以及商场地址、电话号码，如发现什么问题，可以找商场解决。近年来，英国已经逐步制定了许多法律来保护消费者的权利。例如说，假如你能出示收据，店家必须调换有毛病的商品，所以一定要把收据和质量保证书保存好，尤其是购买大件物品的收据和质量保证书。
3.专挑打折期购物 美国人处处想省钱
美国虽然是世界上经济最发达的国家之一，但美国人的生活并不奢侈，有时甚至是一分钱掰成两半花。通常情况下，美国人手里的活钱并不多，每月除了还买房、买车的贷款外，煤气、水、电、电话、上网费、有线电视费等各种费用也是一大笔开销。经过东扣西扣，最后手里剩下的零花钱就没多少了，为此普通美国人花钱很少大手大脚。这一点从美国人的购物习惯也能看出来。
平常，美国的大商场里总是冷冷清清，但打折的时候可就不一样了。每年感恩节的第二天是美国最著名的商场打折日，许多商品都打5折。到那天，等了很久的美国人会倾巢而出，所有商场都是人头攒动。有人为了抢到便宜货，甚至早晨5点就起床出发了。我的一位美国朋友格林女士想买个数码摄像机，但她还一直没有采取行动。她说：“我就等着今年的感恩节呢！”美国人不仅热中于在打折时购物，他们还酷爱优惠券。购物用的优惠券分两种，一种是在商品原价基础上便宜10%-20%，任何时候都可以用。另一种是可以直接代替美元使用的优惠券，上面标着10美元、20美元不等，只要你购物超过一定数额，就可以直接用。不过这种优惠券一般只能在打折期间用，而且常常是只有“早起的鸟儿（Early bird）”才能使。除此之外，记者还了解到，美国人平时逛商场，大多数是只看不买，但每个人心里都在默记着自己已经看中的东西，然后静等打折期的到来。
美国人不仅在购物时会省钱，他们在别的方面也有许多省钱的办法。在美国，修汽车的人工费非常贵，一小时就要几十美元。为了省钱，许多美国男士自学汽车的结构常识，掌握了不少简单的修车技术，如：补轮胎、换一些小零件等。 先生们学修车，太太们也不会闲着。由于去餐馆吃饭比较贵，一顿饭一个人至少要花上十几美元，所以绝大多数美国太太都有一手好厨艺。电视上的厨艺节目、各种菜谱书籍和厨艺学习班也深受美国太太们喜爱。美国人自己制作的蛋糕一点不比商场里的逊色，却能省不少钱。在商场里，一个生日蛋糕要卖几十美元，而自己做的成本就低多了。
II. Fun materials--A LITTLE MONKEY BUSINESS
A tourist walks into a pet shop in Silicon Valley, and is browsing around the cages on display. While he's there, another customer walks in and says to the shopkeeper, "I'll have a C monkey, please". The shopkeeper nods, goes over to a cage at the side of the shop and takes out a monkey. He fits a collar and leash and hands it to the customer, saying "That'll be $5,000". The customer pays and walks out with his monkey.
Startled, the tourist goes over to the shopkeeper and says, "That was a very expensive monkey. Most of them are only a few hundred dollars. Why did it cost so much?"
"Oh", says the shopkeeper, "that monkey can program in C with very fast, tight code, no bugs, well worth the money." The tourist starts to look at the monkeys in the cage.
He says to the shopkeeper, "That one's even more expensive, $10,000! What does it do?"
"Oh", says the shopkeeper, "that one's a C++ monkey; it can manage object-oriented programming, Visual C++, even some Java, all the really useful stuff." The tourist looks round for a little longer and sees a third monkey in a cage on its own. The price tag round its neck says $50,000.
He gasps to the shopkeeper, "That one costs more than all the others put together! What on earth does it do?"
"Well," says the shopkeeper, "I don't know if it actually does anything, but says it's a Consultant."

一、基数词
1. 基数词写法和读法： 345 three hundred and forty-five；
2. 基数词一般是单数形式，但下列情况，常用复数： a. 与of 短语连用，表示概数,不能与具体数目连用, 如scores of people 指许多人；b.在一些表示"一排"或"一组"的词组里；如：They arrived in twos and threes.他们三三两两的到达了。c 表示"几十岁"；
d. 表示"年代"，用 in +the +数词复数；e. 在乘法运算的一种表示法里，如：3 x 5 = 15 Three fives is (are) fifteen.
