13、ology and chemistry, we know amber is a semi-precious stone used in jewelry and art world. Amber is really the fossil form of resin from trees. It has got its shape after a process that has taken millions of years to complete. Trees in very ancient forests produced this resin, which slowly dropped f
14、rom trees and was buried. Trees use resin to protect themselves from disease and harm caused by insects and fungi. I am from group 6. From the information of history legends and news reports, we know the Amber Room is a room built by lots of ambers. It was a gift given to Peter the Great, the King o
15、f Russia, by the King of Prussia, Frederick William I. It was given the name because almost thousand tons of natural ambers were used to make it. But during the second world war in 1941, the Nazi German army secretly stole the Amber Room and sent boxes of the Amber Room on a train to a German city.
16、After that, what really happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery. III. Reading 1.

32、ims: To learn about the restrictive and non-restrictive attributive clause To discover some useful words and expressions To discover some useful structures Procedures: I. Warming up Warming up by discovering useful words and expressions Please turn to page 3. Do exercises 1, 2, 3 and 4 first. Please
33、 check your answers against your classmates. Warming up by explaining Now, class, since youve read the passage, could you explain to me how to use the phrase belong to? The word to here is a preposition, indicating the possession, and is always followed by nouns or pronoun. Look at Ex 3. The preposi
34、tion at indicates a state, condition or continuous activity. So we can replace them or express them by using a present-continuous tense. II. Learning about Attributive Clause 1. What is an adjective Clause? An adjective clause is a dependent clause which takes the place of an adjective in another cl
35、ause or phrase. Like an adjective, an adjective clause modifies a noun or pronoun, answering questions like which? or what kind of? Consider the following examples: Adjective the red coat Adjective clause the coat which I bought yesterday Like the word red in the first example, the dependent clause
36、which I bought yesterday in the second example modifies the noun coat. Note that an adjective clause usually comes after what it modifies, while an adjective usually comes before. 8 In formal writing, an adjective clause begins with the relative pronouns who(m), that, or which. In informal writing o
37、r speech, you may leave out the relative pronoun when it is not the subject of the adjective clause, but you should usually include the relative pronoun in formal, academic writing: informal The books people read were mainly religious. formal The books that people read were mainly religious. informa
38、l Some firefighters never meet the people they save. formal Some firefighters never meet the people whom they save. Here are some more examples of adjective clauses: the meat which they ate was tainted This clause modifies the noun meat and answers the question which meat?. Theyre talking about the
39、movie which made him cry This clause modifies the noun movie and answers the question which movie?. They are searching for the student who borrowed the book The clause modifies the pronoun student and answers the question which student?. Did I tell you about the author whom I met? The clause modifie
40、s the noun author and answers the question which author?. 2. Restrictive & non restrictive clauses Do the following pairs of sentences mean the same thing? 1a My uncle, who lives in London, is very rich. 2b My uncle who lives in London is very rich. 2a The policies, which were unpopular, were reject
41、ed by the voters. 2b The policies which were unpopular were rejected by the voters. 3a My niece, whose husband is out of work, will inherit the house, which I have always treasured. 9 3b My niece whose husband is out of work will inherit the house which I have always treasured. The first sentence in
42、 each pair has a non-restrictive clause within two commas, and the second has a restrictive clause. A non-restrictive clause simply adds more information into the sentence and does not affect the meaning of the main clause: it is therefore bracketed off with commas (1a = an uncle who happens to live
43、 in London). Conversely, a restrictive clause defines its referent in the main clause more specifically and contributes significantly to the meaning of the sentence. Thus it is that particular uncle who lives in London who is referred to (1b). In 2a, all policies were unpopular and all were rejected
44、, whereas in 2b only the policies that were unpopular were rejected. Note that in restrictive clauses the non-human relative pronoun is either that or which, whereas for human referents the relative pronoun can be either who/m or that (the man that/whom I will marry .). 3. A test on FORMAL ADJECTIVE
