3. 對(duì)于一些連詞和句型，也可以設(shè)計(jì)一些半開(kāi)放性的作業(yè)題。如，

①Yesterday evening I was about to go out when_____________________.

②Only___________________________ can you speak English very well.

③I should have come here earlier; but____________________________.

2. 每上完一個(gè)課時(shí)后，可以要求學(xué)生盡可能多地用該節(jié)課所學(xué)的語(yǔ)言詞匯知識(shí)編寫(xiě)一個(gè)對(duì)話或故事或者一篇短文 (Please try to use some of the useful expressions to make up a new passage.)。這樣不僅鞏固了所學(xué)的語(yǔ)言知識(shí)，訓(xùn)練了言語(yǔ)技能，而且還培養(yǎng)了學(xué)生的想象力。

盡管目前在各類英語(yǔ)測(cè)試中，大多采用選擇題的形式出題，但是在平時(shí)布置作業(yè)時(shí)，應(yīng)當(dāng)盡可能多地設(shè)置一些開(kāi)放型或半開(kāi)放型的題目，留給學(xué)生充分的想象空間，讓想象穿越時(shí)空，得出多個(gè)合符情理的推測(cè)，而不是單一的答案。如，

1. 在讓學(xué)生回答一般問(wèn)句時(shí)，要求學(xué)生在作肯定或否定回答的同時(shí)，必須附上一個(gè)與人不同的句子。這樣會(huì)拓展學(xué)生思維，促使學(xué)生想象，得出極富生活氣息的回答。下面是我們要求學(xué)生回答“Have you ever been to Beijing?”時(shí)，一組同學(xué)的答案：

Yes, I have. It’s very exciting to be there.

Yes, I have. I’ll never forget it. …

No, I haven’t. How I wish to go there.

No, I haven’t. But I wish some day I could go there. …

在學(xué)生把握原文主旨的基礎(chǔ)上，通過(guò)變換人稱、改變文體(如，將短文改成對(duì)話)、或充當(dāng)不同角色等方式，使學(xué)生置身于自然、真實(shí)的語(yǔ)言環(huán)境中，大膽的、合乎情理的想象，創(chuàng)造性地復(fù)述課文。這樣不僅鞏固了所學(xué)課文內(nèi)容，而且還訓(xùn)練了語(yǔ)言組織能力，更激發(fā)了學(xué)生的想象力。如，

教高一 Unit 19 Jobs Lessons 74-75 The Secret is Out可以不斷地更換人稱讓學(xué)生復(fù)述：①Suppose you are Mr. Pattis / Mr. Little. Try to tell the story about Ms King. ②Suppose you are Ms King. Try to tell the story about yourself. 還可要求學(xué)生將其改為四個(gè)短劇，然后進(jìn)行表演。

教高一 Unit 22 Lessons 86-87 Britain and Ireland, 教高二 Unit 1 Disneyland, Unit 7 Canada Lesson 26等課文時(shí)，可以引導(dǎo)學(xué)生想象自己是導(dǎo)游，為游客作介紹：Suppose you are a guide. Please make an introduction of Britain/ Ireland/ Disneyland/ Canada to a group of visitors.

4. What questions could you raise according to the title?

例如，在教學(xué)高二Lesson46 ESCAPE FROM THE ZOO時(shí)，我們首先告訴學(xué)生Today we’re going to listen to news on the radio. The title of the news is ESCAPE FROM THE ZOO.并板書(shū)課題。接著向?qū)W生提出What would you think of according to the title? 引導(dǎo)學(xué)生提出、思考、討論一連串的問(wèn)題：Who or what kind of animal has escaped from the zoo? When did it escape from the zoo? Why did it escaped from the zoo? Will it attack people? What would happen to it? 這樣讓學(xué)生去質(zhì)疑、去猜測(cè)、去想象，根據(jù)各自的推測(cè)，得出多彩的答案。從而激起學(xué)生想聽(tīng)新聞內(nèi)容印證自己答案的欲望。

3. What would you write about this title if you were the writer?

2. What would you like to know about from this passage?
