Before we start today's lesson, let's think about something really interesting. I'm going to show you a short video.(播放一段关于未来城市的科幻视频,里面有飞行汽车、智能机器人等元素) T: So, class, what does this video talk about? Raise your hands if you know. S(Student): It's about the future. T: Exactly! It shows us some amazing ideas about what the future might be like. Now, let's have a free talk. Do you really think there are aliens? Discuss in pairs and give your reasons.(学生们两人一组进行讨论) T: OK, time's up. Who wants to share your ideas? S1: Well, maybe there are aliens. The universe is too big. There are so many stars and planets. There could be life on other planets. T: That's a great point. The vastness of the universe gives a high possibility. What about others? S2: Scientists are always looking for life on other planets. They haven't found it yet, but that doesn't mean aliens don't exist. T: Right, scientific exploration is ongoing. And we also have movies and books that are full of stories about aliens. All in all, we can't be sure now, but it's super interesting to think about! Now, let's move on to our new lesson. We'll learn more about future predictions. 二、听力前准备(Pre - listening) T: Look at the picture on the screen. Here we have Helen and Jennifer. Helen sees Jennifer watching a video about future predictions. According to the picture prompts, can you guess what they might discuss? Think about it and share your ideas with your partners.(学生们同桌之间交流想法) T: Stop talking. Who can tell me your guesses? S3: Maybe they will talk about changes in daily life, like how people will travel. T: That's a good guess. The picture shows some transportation - related elements. What else? S4: They might discuss education, like if students will still go to school in the future. T: Great thinking! The school - related symbol in the picture gives you that idea. Now, let's listen to their conversation and see if your guesses are right. 三、听力练习(Listening - 2a) T: Listen carefully and fill in the blanks. You'll hear the conversation twice. Get ready.(播放听力材料) Helen: Hi, Jennifer. What’s up? Jennifer: Oh, hi, Helen. I’m watching a video about future predictions. Helen: So, what will the future be like? Jennifer: Well, _, but the transport system will be more efficient. It means that _. Helen: Sounds great! Any other predictions? Jennifer: Students probably won’t go to a school in the future. They will study at home or any place they want. Helen: Oh, but I really like going to school! Anything else? Jennifer: And _. Helen: Really? Why? Jennifer: Because _ in our homes. Machines will tell us how to solve small health problems before they become bigger. Helen: That’ll be great. How long will most people live? Jennifer: Well, more people will live to be over 100 years old. Some may even live to be 150. Helen: Wow, that sounds wonderful! T: Now, let's check the answers. The first blank should be “there will be more people in cities”. The second one is “there will be fewer traffic accidents”. The third blank is “people will live longer”. And the last one is “we’ll have better health care technology”. How many of you got them all right? Raise your hands. 四、阅读与理解(Reading - 2b) T: Now, open your books to 2b. Read the conversation carefully and complete the table. Pay attention to the details about different aspects of the future.(学生们阅读并完成表格) T: Let's go through the table together. For “People in cities”, the answer is “There will be more people”. For “Transport system”, it's “It will be more efficient, leading to fewer traffic accidents”. For “Education”, “Students probably won't go to a school; they'll study at home or any place they want”. For “Health care”, “There will be better health care technology at home. Machines will solve small health problems before they get bigger”. And for “Length of life”, “More people will live to be over 100 years old. Some may even live to be 150”. Check your answers and make sure you understand. 五、深度阅读与思考(Careful Reading - 2c) T: Read the conversation again and answer the questions in 2c. Think deeply and write down your answers.(学生们再次阅读并回答问题) T: Let's see the answers. The first question: What is Jennifer watching? She is watching a video about future predictions. The second question: Is Helen interested in the future? How do you know? Yes, she is interested. We can tell from her questions like “So, what will the future be like?” and “Oh, but I really like going to school! Anything else?”. The third question: Is the video positive about the future or not? How do you know? The video is positive about the future. Because it mentions good changes such as a more efficient transport system, better health care technology, and people living longer. 六、口语练习(Speaking - 2e) T: Now, let's do some speaking practice. Look at 2e. We'll make up conversations using the templates. First, let's read the example together. A: Do you think there will be more/less/fewer... in the future? B: Yes, I think there will be.../ Well, I don't think there will be... Now, work in pairs and create your own conversations. You can talk about anything related to the future, like more robots, less pollution, or fewer jobs.(学生们两人一组进行对话练习) T: Stop! Which pair wants to come to the front and show your conversation? Pair 1: A: Do you think there will be more robots in the future? B: Yes, I think there will be. Robots will help us with many things, like doing housework and taking care of the old. T: Great job! Your ideas are clear and the grammar is correct. Who else wants to try? Pair 2: A: Do you think there will be less pollution? B: Well, I don't think there will be. People still rely too much on fossil fuels. T: Very good! You express your opinion firmly. After class, you can continue these conversations and think more about the future. 七、课堂总结(Summary) T: Class, today we learned a lot about future predictions. We listened to a conversation about what the future might be like in terms of population, transportation, education, health care, and lifespan. We also practiced reading, understanding, and speaking about future predictions. Remember the key sentences and new words we learned. For example, “There will be more people in cities.” “The transport system will be more efficient.” Keep practicing using these sentences to talk about your own ideas of the future. Next class, we'll continue to explore more about the future in this unit. 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $$
