有关形容词副词比较级的教学建议
建议教师可以利用投影，实物教学，简笔画等手段创设多种情景组织学生进行讨论，练习学生口语和笔头的表达能力，可以一图多问。
（1）教师可以叫三两个学生到黑板前面来，让他们站成一行.然后，提问：Who is taller? Who is the tallest? Who is short? Who is the shortest? Can you tell me who runs faster? Who runs fastest? 等学生回答完后，教师可以在教室前面划一条线，告诉学生这是staring line.叫另一名同学当发令员，教会他发令的表达法，指挥两个学生从教室前跑到教室后面，然后提问； Who runs slowly? Who runs more slowly? Who runs most slowly? Can you tell me who runs faster? Who runs fastest? Who won? 教师还可以根据具体的情景指导学生就as…as/ not so as…as.句型进行练习。
（2）教师还可以叫学生进行立定跳远比赛，教师设计问题如下：Who jumps high? Who did well? Who did worse? Who did worst of all? Who jumps highest of all? 此部分练习可以在讲87课时运用。
（3）教师准备一个拉力器几个学生前来，比较谁的力气大谁拉的长。问题设计如下： Who is stronger? Who is the strongest? Who is taller? Whose chest-developer is longer? Whose chest-developer is the longest? Who is powerful? Who is the most powerful man? Is Xiao Ming as powerful as Tom?
有关阅读的建议
（1）教师可以将文章分为五段，先指导学生阅读课文，并把课文中有关比赛的情景让学生用绘画的形式画出来。教师可以每段一张图，每组一段。这样既练习了学生的阅读理解能力，又增加了趣味性，激发学生学习兴趣。
（2）教师可以精心设计板书，概况短文，突出文章重点。如:
At starting line: Hu shouted: “Ready? Go!” Runners started to run.
On the first lap: Li Lei ran faster.
On the second lap: Yu Yan began to catch up with Jim. They were neck and neck.
On the third lap: The Class 3 and Class 1 runners were still neck and neck. The Class2 dropped the stick. Class 4 fell and hurt.
On the fourth lap: Wu Peng in the front dropped his stick and fell behind. Lin Tao ran past him.
词汇教学
到现在为止，学生学习的英语单词已经很多。如不按照科学规律一味死记硬背，是很难掌握这些单词的。大纲要求“能熟练地运用所学的拼读规则拼写单词。能根据所学的构词法判断和记忆派生词和合成词的词义和词类”。词汇教学应贯彻这一要求，帮助学生提高自学能力，训练他们的科学记忆、联想的能力。本单元词汇量较大，但把单词分类，引导学生按照规律记忆，会大大降低学习的难度。
1．利用拼读规律和联想记忆单词拼法
hold shout still race hurt drop stick rather
cold about till face nurse top ticket father
2．派生词
bad→badly loud→loudly
run→runner win→winner
congratulate→congratulation
3．兼类词
形容词兼副词 fast high long far
动词兼名词 jump race
介词兼副词 behind
4．合成词
play + ground → playground loud + speaker → loudspeaker
5．同类词 可用图表示人体各部分的名称
eye hair arm nose mouth neck body hand leg foot
