Unit 10 1+2
設计思想
1. 素材分析。
（1）文本特征。这部分一共两个文本，一篇短文和一个对话，内容都和John White的兴趣爱好有关。
（2）文本特点。文本篇幅适中，语言较浅显。文章的主人公John White喜欢航海，所以文中出现的词汇大多和大海和天气又关，如：sailing、dolphin、storm等。第一个文本，是对John White这个人的简单介绍，使用的是一般现在时态;第二个文本，John和他妻子Pauline的通话内容，使用的是现在进行时态。
2. 教学策略。
3. 学情分析。
4. 重点和难点。
教学目标
At the end of the lesson， students are expected to know about John White and his hobby and learn the new words： journey， take a year off， sail， around the world， dolphin， whale， bathroom， have a shower， make good progress， close， South Africa， a strong wind， start. Be able to use the new words properly in the composition ‘My dad’s hobby’ and use the present simple and present continuous correctly.
