Step 1：Lead-in

Good morning everyone！ First of all，lets appreciate two poems and pay attention to the tenses（ppt）：

（1）If you were a teardrop; In my eye，

For fear of losing you， I would never cry.

And if the golden sun， Should cease to shine its light，

Just one smile from you ，Would make my whole world bright.

（2）How should we like it were stars to burn，

With a passion for us we could not return？

If equal affection cannot be，

Let the more loving one be me.

Were all stars to disappear or die，

I should learn to look at an empty sky，

And feel its total dark sublime，

Though this might take me a little time.

Step 2： Discovery

compare two sentences I mentioned and know the difference between a fact and a wish.Compare and find the difference， Is it a fact or a wish？

1）If it doesnt rain tomorrow，I would visit my teacher.（a fact）
