词汇辨析
1．区别Nice to meet you 和 Nice meeting you
这两个词组的意思都是“很高兴见到你”。
区别是
Nice to meet you用的是一个不定式。而不定式的作用是表示将要做的事情，所以这个词组常常在刚一见面时说。
Nice meeting you用了一个现在分词在此表示完成的动作，所以它常常用在谈话结束时或分手之前。同样我们也可以说：
刚见面： 分手前：
Nice to talk with you. Nice talking with you.
Glad to have you here. Glad having you here.
2。So+ be/ have/ 助动词/情态动词+主语 与so+ 主语+ be/ have/助动词/情态
动词的辨析
前者表示“某人也”的意思。而后者表示“对第一个人说的话的认可”。
Example: So+ be/ have/ 助动词/情态动词+主语

Example : so + 主语+ be/ have/助动词/情态动词

She always studies very hard and helps others with their homework.
(1) --- I guess the book must be borrowe by John.

(2) --- She did the job successfully.
--- So she did. 是的，她的确做地很成功）And she was praised by the others in her company.
如果表示某种情况也同样不适用于另外一个人或物， 要用“Neither / Nor + be/ have / 助动词 / 情态动词 + 主语” 这个结构。
Example:
(1) --- He has never been to Beijing.--- Neither / Nor have I . 我也没有去过）
I really wish to go there some day in future.
(2) --- I can't swim across the wide river.--- Neither / Nor can my sister. (我妹妹也不能)

Teaching Plan for Lesson One
Step 1 Lead in questions
Introduce yourself to the class by saying " Hello everyone. I'm very happy to be your new English teacher this term. Do you like English? I am sure that we can become good friends and I will try my best to help you speak English well. Do you want to speak English as well as the native speakers? So you must study hard and do what I will tell you to do. Now I'd love to introduce myself to you so that we can become friends very quickly. My name is ……and it is really nice to see you. Now I would love you to introduce yourselves to us. In your introduction you have to tell us what your name is and what middle school you come from and then tell us what you are interested in or what you are good at. (The students can do this task one by one in a very short time.)
Step 2. Listen to the dialogue
Do you want to make new friends when you come to a new school?
