Before we start our new lesson, let's have a quick review. Who can tell me the structure of the past continuous tense? Yes, Tom. Tom: It's was/were + verb - ing. Teacher: Excellent, Tom! Very good. Now, can you give me an example sentence using the past continuous tense? Tom: I was doing my homework at 8 o'clock last night. Teacher: Great! That's a perfect example. Now, class, let's think about this. Have you ever been in a situation where you were late for an important event or couldn't go at all? Maybe it was a party, a sports game, or even a school activity. Turn to your partner and share such an experience with them. You can use the past continuous tense to describe what you were doing at that time. (Students start talking to their partners) Teacher: Okay, time's up. Let's share some of your stories. Who would like to come to the front and tell the class? Mary, please. Mary: Last Sunday, I was supposed to go to a friend's birthday party. But I was so busy helping my mom clean the house that I lost track of time. When I realized it was already late, I rushed out of the house. But on the way, I met an old neighbor and she started talking to me. By the time I got to my friend's house, the party was almost over. Teacher: Wow, Mary. That's a really interesting story. Thank you for sharing. It seems like you had quite a busy day. Now, class, look at the screen. (Shows a picture of a school basketball competition) Today, we are going to talk about an event that happened at school. What do you see in the picture? Students: A school basketball competition. Teacher: Exactly. Now, let's move on to 1a. In this part, I want you to think of a time when you were late for or couldn't go to an event. Then answer the two questions: What was the event? What was the reason why you were late or couldn't go? Write down your answers in your notebooks. (Students start writing) Teacher: Alright, let's check some of your answers. David, would you like to read yours? David: The event was a school art exhibition. I was late because I got lost on the way to school. I was looking for my art project in my room and I didn't notice the time. Teacher: Good job, David. That makes sense. Now, class, let's listen to a conversation. In this conversation, two people are talking about an event at school. While you are listening, please answer the questions in 1b. Are you ready? Let's play the recording. (Plays the recording for the first time) Teacher: Okay, have you got the answers? Let's check. What event happened at the school yesterday? Students: There was a school basketball competition. Teacher: Right. And who missed the event? Students: Kate. Teacher: Correct. And which team won at the event? Students: John's team. Teacher: Well done, everyone. Now, let's listen to the recording again. This time, as you listen, number the events in 1c in the order they happened. (Plays the recording for the second time) Teacher: Time's up. Let's check the answers. First, Kate left the house. That's number 1. Then, she realized her bag was still at home. Number 2. After that, she got to the bus stop. Number 3. Next, she saw a dog by the side of the road. Number 4. Then, she called the Animal Helpline. Number 5. And finally, she waited for someone to walk by. Number 6. Did you all get it right? Students: Yes. Teacher: Great. Now, let's practice using the information we got from the listening. Look at 1d. We are going to talk about why Kate missed the school basketball competition. I will be student A and start a sentence with while or when. And one of you will be student B and complete the sentence. For example, I say: When the school basketball competition started. Then you can say: When the school basketball competition started, Kate was still making her way to school. Let's start. When the school basketball competition started. Who wants to complete the sentence? Student C: When the school basketball competition started, Kate was still making her way to school. Teacher: Very good. Now, let's change. While Kate was running back home. Who can continue? Student D: While Kate was running back home, she saw a dog by the side of the road. Teacher: Excellent. Now, let's work in pairs. Student A, start a sentence with while or when, and student B, complete it. Try to use different sentences. You can also refer to the events in 1c. (Students start working in pairs) Teacher: Okay, let's stop here. Some pairs, please come to the front and show your conversations to the class. Peter and Lucy, you first. Peter: When Kate left the house, she didn't realize her bag was still at home. Lucy: While she was looking for her bag, she got late for the competition. Teacher: Great job, Peter and Lucy. Your conversation is very good. Now, class, let's summarize what we have learned today. We have learned how to talk about an event that happened in the past and why someone missed it. We used the past continuous tense with when and while. Remember, when can be used for both short and long actions, and while is usually used for long, continuous actions. Let's review some key sentences. When the school basketball competition started, Kate was still making her way to school. While Kate was running back home, she saw a dog by the side of the road. Practice these sentences after class. And for homework, I want you to write a short passage about an event you missed or were late for. Use at least three sentences with the past continuous tense. Are there any questions? Students: No. Teacher: Alright, class is over. Have a great day! 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 $$
