【教学过程】

Teacher: Good morning, class! How are you all today? I hope you're feeling energetic because we have an exciting class ahead. We've been talking about keeping fit in Unit 3, and today we're going to dig deeper into how different people, especially teenagers, stay fit. So, let's get started!

Step 1: Warming - up (5 minutes)

Teacher: First, let's do a quick warm - up. I'll show you some pictures of different sports. As soon as you see a picture, shout out the name of the sport in English. (Show pictures of basketball, swimming, running, skateboarding, etc.)

Students: (Shout out the names of the sports) Basketball!

Swimming! Running! Skateboarding!

Teacher: Great job, everyone! Now, I want you to think about this question: Why do we do sports? What are the benefits of doing sports? Turn to your partner and have a short discussion. You can use simple English sentences like “Doing sports makes me...” or “Sports are good for us because...” (Give students 2 - 3 minutes to discuss)

Teacher: Okay, let's stop here. Who would like to share their ideas with the class? (Call on a few students)

Student 1: Doing sports makes me strong.

Teacher: Excellent! Strength is an important benefit of sports. What else?

Student 2: Sports are good for us because they make us healthy.

Teacher: Absolutely right! Staying healthy is a key reason we do sports. Well done, everyone. This leads us to our topic for today. We're going to read about how a teenager named Kate keeps fit.

Step 2: Reading - 2a (10 minutes)

Teacher: Open your textbooks to Section B, 2a. Here, we have a post from Kate about how she keeps fit. Let's read it together carefully. I'll read the first sentence, and then I want you to read the rest sentence by sentence. (Read the first sentence aloud) “My favourite sport is swimming.”

Students: (Read the rest of the post sentence by sentence) “It’s fun to swim and play with my friends in the water. Also, I like swimming because the cool water feels great when it’s hot. I go swimming two or three times a week. Swimming is good for me because it keeps me healthy. It is good exercise for my body. I think everyone should try it!”

Teacher: Very good. Now, look at the mind - map beside the post. We need to complete it according to what Kate said. Let's do it together. The first blank is about Kate's favourite sport. What is

it?

Students: Swimming.

Teacher: Right. Write “swimming” in the first blank. Now, the second part is about why she likes it. She said two reasons. Who can tell me one of them?

Student 3: It's fun to swim and play with her friends in the water.

Teacher: Perfect. Write that in the second blank. And the other reason?

Student 4: She likes swimming because the cool water feels great when it's hot.

Teacher: Correct. Put that in the corresponding blank. Next, how often does she go swimming?

Students: Two or three times a week.

Teacher: Good. Fill in this frequency in the mind - map. Finally, why is swimming good for her?

Student 5: Because it keeps her healthy.

Teacher: Exactly. Write it down. Let's check our answers again. Make sure your mind - map looks like this: (Show the completed mind - map on the board)

Step 3: Analyzing the Structure - 2b (10 minutes)

Teacher: Now, let's analyze Kate's post. We can see that she first tells us her favourite sport. Then, she gives reasons why she likes it. After that, she mentions how often she does this sport. And finally, she explains why this sport is good for her. This is a very clear structure. Let's break it down further.

Teacher: When she tells us her favourite sport, she uses the sentence “My favourite sport is...”. This is a very simple and direct way to start. For example, if I want to talk about my favourite sport, I can say “My favourite sport is badminton.” Now,
