Unit 3 I'm not feeling well

LESSON 1 I have a headache

Lily: Hi, Joe! Are you okay? You don't look well.

Joe: I don't feel very good. I have a terrible headache.

Lily: I'm sorry to hear that. What happened?

Joe: I went out with my friends last night and it started to rain on my way home.

Lily: That's unlucky. Did you take an umbrella with you?

Joe: No. I got all wet. The rain was really heavy.

Lily: That is not good. It's easy to catch a cold when you are wet.

Joe: Well, maybe I need to have a good rest tonight.

Lily: Also, drinking more water may make you feel better.

Joe: Thank you. I will take care of myself.

Lily: Hi, Joe! Are you okay? You don't look well.

  • 重点make sb. do sth. 表示"使某人做某事";feel better 表示"感觉好一些"。

Joe: Thank you. I will take care of myself.

  • 中文:谢谢你。我会照顾好自己的。
  • 重点take care of oneself 表示"照顾好自己",是临别叮嘱的常用语。

四、 语法要点:need to do 和 need doing 的用法

need 既可以是实义动词也可以是情态动词。本课重点是它作实义动词时的两种主要结构:

  • need to do sth.:表示"需要(主动)做某事"。need 随主语的人称和数变化(he/she/it 用 needs)。

    He needs to get up early. (他需要早起。)
    She needs to get some rest. (她需要休息。)
    He needs to go to the hospital. (他需要去医院。)
    Maybe I need to have a good rest tonight. (也许我今晚需要好好休息一下。本课对话原句)

  • need doing(= need to be done):表示"需要(被动)被……",主语是动作的承受者

    My watch needs to be repaired. = My watch needs repairing. (我的手表需要修理。)
    My hair needs washing badly. (我的头发非常需要洗一洗。)
    Pets need to be taken out for a walk every day. (宠物得每天带出去遛一遛。)

💡 判断技巧:看主语是动作的"发出者"还是"承受者"。

  • 主语自己去做 → need to do:He needs to repair the watch. (他需要修这块表。)
  • 主语被动接受动作 → need doing / need to be done:The watch needs repairing. (这块表需要被修。)

五、 热身环节:口语对话练习 (Warm-up Practice)

Q1: What do you do when you are sick? (你生病的时候会怎么做?)

  • 回答参考 1 (在家休息):

    When I'm not feeling well, I usually stay at home and have a good rest. I also drink lots of warm water.
    (我感觉不舒服的时候,通常会待在家里好好休息。我还会喝很多温水。)

  • 回答参考 2 (去医院):

    If I have a fever or a bad headache, I will go to the hospital to see a doctor and get some medicine.
    (如果发烧或者头痛得厉害,我会去医院看医生拿点药。)

  • 回答参考 3 (吃药 + 多睡):

    I usually take some medicine and try to sleep more. Sleep helps me feel better quickly.
    (我通常会吃点药,然后多睡觉。睡眠能让我更快地好起来。)


Q2: Have you ever caught a cold from getting wet in the rain? (你有没有因为淋雨而感冒过?)

  • 回答参考 1:

    Yes. Last winter, I forgot my umbrella and got all wet on my way home. The next day, I had a terrible headache and caught a cold.
    (有过。去年冬天,我忘了带伞,回家路上全身都淋湿了。第二天我头疼得厉害,还感冒了。)

  • 回答参考 2:

    Not really. I always check the weather and take an umbrella with me when it might rain.
    (没有。可能下雨的时候我总会查天气然后带伞。)


Question: What do you usually do when you are sick?

Answer: When I'm sick, I usually stay at home and have a good rest. If I have a headache or catch a cold, I drink more warm water and take some medicine. If it gets worse, I will go to the hospital and see a doctor. I also remember to take care of myself and not get too tired. Last month, I forgot my umbrella and got wet in the rain. I caught a cold the next day, so now I always check the weather before going out.

(我生病的时候,通常会待在家里好好休息。如果头疼或感冒了,我会多喝温水、吃点药。如果情况变严重,我就会去医院看医生。我也会记得照顾好自己,不要太累。上个月我忘了带伞,在雨里淋湿了,第二天就感冒了,所以现在出门前我总会先看天气。)
