一、课程导入（Lead-in）

T: Good morning, dear students! Last time, we explored a lot about healthy eating in “Developing ideas”. We listened to interesting conversations and learned useful tips for a balanced diet. Today, it’s time to shine in “Presenting ideas”! Imagine you are little experts on healthy food. How would you share your knowledge with others? Let’s start by looking at some pictures on the screen. These are different meal scenes. What do you notice? Are they healthy or not? Raise your hands and share your thoughts.

S1: I see a plate full of fried chicken and French fries. I think it’s not healthy because they are high in fat.

S2: There’s a picture of a salad with fruits and nuts. That looks very healthy to me!

T: Excellent observations! You really understand the key points. Now, think about this: if you were to give a presentation about healthy eating, what important information would you include? Discuss with your deskmates for one minute.

(Students discuss)

T: Time’s up! Who wants to share your discussion results?

S3: We should talk about different food groups like fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins.

S4: And also tell others how to limit junk food intake.

T: Great ideas! These are exactly what we’ll focus on today. Let’s get ready to present our wonderful ideas about food matters!

二、知识回顾与准备（Knowledge Review and Preparation）

T: Before we start presenting, let’s review some key words and phrases. I’ll show them on the screen, and we’ll read them together. Diet, balanced diet, nutrition, calorie, fiber, vitamin, protein... Now, I’ll ask some questions. What does “balanced diet” mean?

S5: A balanced diet means eating a variety of foods from all the food groups.

T: Correct! And what are the benefits of eating foods rich in fiber?

S6: Foods rich in fiber can help with digestion.

T: Well done! Now, let’s review the expressions for giving opinions and suggestions. Remember “I think...”, “In my opinion...”, “It’s a good idea to...”? Let’s practice using them. I’ll give you a topic: “The importance of breakfast”. You use these expressions to share your thoughts.

S7: In my opinion, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It gives us energy for the whole morning.

T: Great job! You’re all doing an amazing job reviewing. Now, you should be more confident in presenting.

三、个人展示指导（Individual Presentation Guidance）

T: Now, it’s time for individual presentations. Everyone will have a chance to stand in front of the class and share your ideas about healthy eating. First, I’ll give you some tips for a good presentation. Look at the screen.

Be clear: Speak slowly and make sure your words are easy to understand.

Use examples: For example, if you talk about healthy snacks, mention apples, yogurt, etc.

Show confidence: Stand up straight, make eye contact with your classmates, and smile.

Organize your ideas: Start with an introduction, then the main body, and end with a conclusion.

T: Now, you have 10 minutes to prepare your individual presentation. You can write some key points on a piece of paper. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
