Detailed Teaching Points and Suggested Teaching Procedures：

Section One Language Structures & Dialogues
I. Grammar review
1. Simple past and present perfect tense
Verbs in sentences beginning with “This is the first/second… time are in the present perfect form. For example,
This is the first time I’ve been in Xi’an.
This is the second time I’ve seen this movie.
2. Past progressive tense
Past progressive is a combination of the progressive aspect with the past tense. The use of the past progressive has much in common with that of the present progressive, only the time reference being pushed back to the past, often overtly expressed by a time –when/while adverbial. For example,
Susan was washing her hair while her mother was cooking.
Dick was changing a flat tire while his father was mowing the lawn.
3. Past perfect tense
For the past perfect tense we set up an additional focal point in the past and say that another act was completed before that time. For example,
Greg had finished his work when I visited him.
