yyyyye2<yyyyye2@hotmail.com> 4:33:17 PM今天10:00,Catherine老师继续主持讲授我们的课文:Planets. |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 6:59:37 PMGood Morning, everyone! Yesterday, it was Halloween here in America. A lot of kids went to trick-or-treat last night from house to house. They had a lot of candies. |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 6:59:51 PMAny one likes candy? |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:00:06 PMWe still have a lot of left |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:00:30 PMToday we will continue with the lesson Planets with teacher Catherine |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:00:38 PMHi Catherine! |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:00:52 PMCandy is delicious! |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:00:53 PMDid you have a good Halloween? |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:00:57 PMHello everyone! |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:01:01 PMYes it was very good. |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:01:16 PMAre we ready to begin? |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:01:23 PMYep! |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:01:32 PMGreat! |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:01:38 PMThe planets circle around the sun in paths called orbits. The time it takes for a planet to travel around the sun is its year. Each planet’s year is different. |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:02:05 PM |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:02:19 PMSo the main idea of this paragraph is to tell us what is a year. |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:02:36 PM |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:03:04 PMEach planet has a year. And each year is different. |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:03:16 PM |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:03:48 PMso, what does "travel" mean? |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:04:06 PM |
yyyyye2<yyyyye2@hotmail.com> 7:04:07 PMorbit ? |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:04:27 PMyes! So "travel" in this paragraph means "move" and planets "move" in an "orbit" |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:04:45 PM |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:05:06 PMdo you have any questions? |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:05:15 PMDoes anyone remember the similiar words with circle that we taught last time? |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:06:00 PMgo around or orbit |
yyyyye2<yyyyye2@hotmail.com> 7:06:11 PMyes |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:06:16 PMyes! |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:06:36 PMGreat! Are there any more questions? |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:07:08 PMguess not |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:07:21 PMOkay, we will start on the next paragraph. It is a little longer. |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:07:30 PMWhile a planet is orbiting around the sun, it is moving another way, too. It spins, or rotates. The time it takes for a planet to rotate is its day. Each planet’s day is different. While a planet is rotating, part of it faces the sun. It is daytime there. On the other side it is nighttime. |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:08:09 PM |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:08:38 PMso the main idea of this paragraph is to tell us that a planet rotates and rotating makes days. |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:08:59 PM |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:09:50 PMany differences between rotate and spin? |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:10:31 PMRotate is more like it doesn't change. Spinning can be many directions, or it can change quickly. |
yyyyye2<yyyyye2@hotmail.com> 7:10:35 PM前一段是行星公转,这一段是自转 |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:10:48 PM |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:11:36 PMYes! Thank you. The last paragraph tells us about a year, and this paragraph tells us about a day. |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:12:07 PMcould you tell us about the word face? |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:12:46 PMGood question! Face means the direction your face is. if you "Face" me, I can see your face! |
yyyyye2<yyyyye2@hotmail.com> 7:13:32 PMso, the face is a verb |
yyyyye2<yyyyye2@hotmail.com> 7:13:46 PMisn't it ? |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:13:48 PMyes! "you are facing me" or "he faced the sun" |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:14:04 PMhow about some expamples using face as a verb? |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:14:51 PM"I face the wall." "He faces the door." "She faces me." "You faced the street." |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:15:07 PM |
Penguin House(1040660342) 7:15:45 PMThe building faces the sea. |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:15:47 PMso when you say: He faced the street, that means he doesn't face the street now but in the past? |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:16:01 PMGood job! yes the Building faces the sea. |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:16:24 PMyes, that was in the past. "Face" is now. and "Faced" is in the past." |
yyyyye2<yyyyye2@hotmail.com> 7:17:07 PM过去式 |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:17:08 PMthat's a very but usefule word |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:17:21 PMvery simple but useful |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:17:36 PMyes! So we can use this verb, even though a planet does not have a face. |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:18:19 PMI'm facing the computer now |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:18:32 PM yes you are! |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:19:37 PMSo right now, it is daytime in China. China faces the sun. Right now, it is nighttime in United States. I am not facing the sun. |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:19:58 PM |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:20:12 PM |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:20:35 PMWonderful! Are there any more questions? |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:21:12 PMlooks like we can move to the next one |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:21:19 PMPeople can look up on a clear night and might see Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. A planet looks like a steady point of light. A star twinkles. A telescope is needed to see Uranus and Neptune. They are very far away from planet Earth. |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:21:53 PM |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:22:28 PMSo the main idea of this paragraph is so we know what a planet looks like in the sky. And that Uranus and Neptune are very far away. You must have a telescope to see them. |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:22:59 PM |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:23:16 PMwhat does "steady" mean? |
yyyyye2<yyyyye2@hotmail.com> 7:24:19 PMstill, no movement ? |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:24:52 PMright! it means it does not change. |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:25:16 PMSo a planet looks "steady" and a star "Twinkles" or it changes |
yyyyye2<yyyyye2@hotmail.com> 7:25:06 PMfor the new students who joints in this group this week: |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:25:35 PMthat way, you can tell the difference between a star and a planet when you look in the sky. |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:25:50 PM |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:26:02 PMcould you explain Twinkle? |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:26:31 PMyes! So twinkle means it changes. Sometimes it is bright, sometimes it is not so bright. The light changes. |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:27:28 PM |
yyyyye2<yyyyye2@hotmail.com> 7:27:55 PMGoogle says: why star twinkles at night? The answer is: "The twinkling of stars in our night sky is down to the Earth's atmosphere. As light from the stars travels towards Earth it can easily move in a straight line, but once it starts travelling through the Earth's atmosphere it gets bounced around in different directions by the particles in the air." |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:28:38 PMBesides star, what else twinkels? |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:29:34 PMMaybe a candle twinkles. Or the light on the ocean twinkles. |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:29:58 PMin English, we have a saying "He has a twinkle in his eye" It usually means he is up to something, maybe he is naughty. |
C.Mumf.<catemumf@gmail.com> 7:30:16 PM |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:30:56 PMWe just had a great, fun lesson! |

脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:31:57 PMSee you later! |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:33:36 PMup to something: doing or planning something secretly |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:36:16 PMTry to use those new words often so they become your own words! We will see you next time |
