　　Jurassic Park is about a park where a very rich man keeps different kinds of dinosaurs.

　　1958 was the year when Spielberg made his first real film.The reason why Spielberg could not go to the Film Academy was that his grades were too low.

　　Tell Ss : You can join sentences with where when you mean “at that place”, and use when if you mean “at that time”. Sometimes why is used after the word “reason”.

　　2)Then ask them to make sentences using attributive clauses with where, when and why respectively.

　　3)Ask students to do Exercise1 on P33

　　Complete the following sentences using which, why, where or when.

　　1.   Hangzhou is the place   where    I went last summer.

　　2.   He read the book    which    his sister had told him about.

　　5.   Please give me the reason  why   you were late this time.

　　b. 1) Explain the attributive clause with prepositions

　　The woman who/whom Spielberg is married to is an actress.

　　The woman to whom Spielberg is married is an actress.

　　Tell Ss: When you use a relative pronoun with a preposition, you have two choices, and placing the preposition before the relative pronoun is more formal.

　　2) Show a film poster and ask students what film it is, and who is the main actor. Then ask them to make sentences by using attributive clauses.

　　For example

　　Hero is a historical film which Li Lianjie plays the main role in.

　　Hero is a historical film in which Li Lianjie plays the main role.

　　1.  The book   about which   I heard was written twenty years ago.

　　2.  The people   to whom   the man spoke weren’t listening.

　　6.  The gun   with which   he was shot was never found.

　　Step 4 Ask students to choose an actor or an actress or a director they are familiar with and write some information about him or her, encouraging them to use the attributive clause while making sentences.
