It's a brand - new semester, and I'm extremely glad to see all of you here. So, how was your holiday? Did you have a wonderful time? S（Students）: Yes, teacher! T: Great! Now, let's start our English class with a warm greeting. Everyone, stand up, please. Let's say “Good morning” to each other. S: Good morning, teacher! Good morning, classmates! T: Good morning! You can sit down now. Before we begin our new lesson, let's review some simple English greetings we learned before. Who can tell me some common greetings? S1: Hello! T: Very good. And another one? S2: Hi! T: Right! What about when we want to say goodbye? S3: Goodbye! Bye - bye! T: Excellent! We also learned how to introduce ourselves. Can you remember? For example, I can say “My name is [Teacher's name].” Now, it's your turn. Who wants to introduce yourself? S4: My name is [Student's name]. T: Wonderful! You all did a great job. Now, look at the title of this unit “A New Start”. As we all know, this is a new start of our junior high school life. Do you feel excited? S: Yes! T: I can see the excitement in your eyes. Today, we are going to explore more about this new start in our English class. Are you ready? S: Yes! 二、呈现与讲解（约 15 分钟） T: First, let's look at some new words and phrases. I will show them on the blackboard. Please look carefully and listen to me. The first word is “new”. Read after me, new. S: New. T: Very good. “New” means something that has just begun or is different from what was before. For example, this is a new school year for us. Now, the next word is “school”. Read it, school. S: School. T: Right. “School” is the place where we study. And this phrase “junior high school”. Follow me, junior high school. S: Junior high school. T: Great. We are all students in junior high school now. What else do we have in school? Yes, we have “class”. Read it, class. S: Class. T: A class is a group of students who are taught together. And “teacher”. Read, teacher. S: Teacher. T: Teachers are the people who teach us knowledge. And of course, we are “students”. Read, students. S: Students. T: Good. Now, let's learn some important sentence patterns. The first one is “What's your name?”. Read it aloud. S: What's your name? T: We use this sentence to ask someone's name. And the answer can be “My name is...” or “I'm...”. For example, if I ask you, “What's your name?”, you can answer “My name is [Student's name]” or “I'm [Student's name]”. Let's practice. I will ask some of you. [Teacher asks several students] T: Now, another sentence pattern “How old are you?”. Read it. S: How old are you? T: We use this to ask about someone's age. And the answer is “I'm... years old.” For example, if I ask you, “How old are you?”, you can say “I'm 12 years old.” Let's practice this one, too. [Teacher asks some students] 三、文化拓展（约 10 分钟） T: Well done! Now, class, do you know that the first day of school is very important in different countries, and people do different things on that day? Let's learn about it. First, look at this picture. Do you know which country it is? [Show a picture of Russia] S: Russia! T: Exactly. In Russia, the first day of school is a grand festival. On this day, students give flowers to their teachers to show respect. And all the girls wear white flowers in their hair. Isn't it interesting? S: Yes! T: Now, look at this picture. Which country is this? [Show a picture of Indonesia] S: Indonesia! T: Right. In Indonesia, on the first day of school, the focus is on students getting to know each other and their teachers. So, students take part in some activities, such as watching shows and playing games. This helps them blend into school life more quickly. T: Next, let's look at France. [Show a picture of France] In France, parents attach great importance to the first day of school. They usually accompany their children to school. Some large companies even give parents with school - age children a day off. Also, students will get a list of school supplies to buy. But French children can't get new textbooks on the first day like we do in China. They borrow textbooks from the school library for free and have to return them in good condition after the semester. This textbook recycling system has a history of 100 years in France. T: Finally, look at the USA. [Show a picture of the USA] At the end of August or the beginning of September, before the formal classes start, almost all schools in the US will designate a day for students and parents to visit the school. Some schools call it “Kickoff” or “Open House”, which is actually the “first day of school” in the US. In many primary schools, teachers will stand at the classroom door on the first day, shake hands with each new student solemnly and kindly, and lead the students to their pre - arranged seats. This simple welcome action can take more than half an hour, which fully shows respect for each student. T: So, you see, different countries have different ways to start a new school year. It's very interesting, isn't it? S: Yes! 四、小组讨论与分享（约 15 分钟） T: Now, class, let's have a group discussion. I will divide you into groups of four. In your groups, please discuss the following questions: What are you most excited about in this new start of junior high school? And what are you a little bit worried about? You have 5 minutes to discuss. After that, each group will choose a representative to share your ideas with the whole class. [Students form groups and start discussing. The teacher walks around the classroom, listens to their discussions, and gives some guidance when necessary.] T: Time's up. Now, which group wants to share first? Group 1, would you like to start? G1R (Group 1 Representative): We are excited about making new friends and learning new subjects. But we are a little worried about having too much homework. T: Thank you, Group 1. That's very honest. What about Group 2? G2R: We are excited about joining different clubs in school. But we are worried that we might not be able to keep up with the study pace. T: Good sharing. Group 3? G3R: We are excited about the new school environment. However, we are worried about getting lost in the big school. T: I see. Group 4? G4R: We are excited about having new teachers and learning new knowledge. But we are worried about the difficult English grammar. T: All of your shares are great. It's normal to have both excitement and worries at the beginning of a new journey. But don't worry, as long as we work hard and help each other, we can overcome these difficulties. 五、总结与作业布置（约 5 分钟） T: Today, we have learned a lot in this class. We learned some new words and sentence patterns, such as “new”, “school”, “What's your name?”, “How old are you?”. We also learned about the different ways of starting a new school year in various countries. And most importantly, we shared our excitement and worries about this new start of junior high school. T: For homework today, I want you to make a short dialogue using the new sentence patterns we learned. You can ask your partner's name, age, and also talk about your feelings about junior high school. Write it down in your exercise books. And tomorrow, we will share these dialogues in class. T: That's all for today's class. Have a great day, everyone! See you tomorrow! S: See you tomorrow, teacher! 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 $$
