Last time, we talked about Lingling’s plan to go to Los Angeles for an English course. We learned a lot about what to take and some useful expressions. Today, we’re going to discover more about learning English in Los Angeles. But first, let’s play a little guessing game. I’ll describe a place, and you try to guess where it is. This place is in the United States. It’s famous for its sunny weather, beautiful beaches, and is a dream destination for many movie lovers. What place could it be? S: Los Angeles! T: Correct! Now, imagine you have a chance to go to Los Angeles and learn English there. How exciting would that be? But before you can go, there are some things you need to know and do. Just like when you sign up for a club or an activity at school, you have to fill out a form. In today’s lesson, we’ll learn all about filling out a form to come and study English in Los Angeles. Open your books to Module 7, Unit 2. 词汇学习 T: Let’s start by looking at some new words that will help us understand the text better. First, look at this picture. (Showing a picture of a form with various blanks) What do we call this? S: A form. T: Exactly. A “form” is a printed document with spaces in which to write information. For example, when you want to join a sports team at school, you usually have to fill out a form with your name, age, and other details. Read after me, form. S: Form. T: Now, look at this picture of a big building with many rooms where people can stay. What’s this place? S: A hotel. T: Right. But in our text, we’ll use the word “host family”. A “host family” is a family that welcomes a guest or a student into their home. When you go to Los Angeles to study English, you might stay with a host family. They will take care of you, and you can also practice speaking English with them every day. Read, host family. S: Host family. T: Look at this word “course”. (Showing a picture of a classroom with students studying different subjects) A “course” is a series of lessons or lectures on a particular subject. We learned last time that Lingling is going to take an English course in Los Angeles. It could be a short - term course like two weeks or a long - term one like several months. Read after me, course. S: Course. T: What about this? (Showing a picture of a person looking at a calendar and marking a date) This word is “date”. A “date” can refer to a particular day of the month, year, etc. When you fill out a form, you often need to write down the date, for example, when you start or finish a course. Read, date. S: Date. T: Now, look at this word “detail”. (Showing a picture of a magnifying glass looking at a piece of paper with lots of information) “Detail” means a small piece of information. When you fill out a form, you need to provide all the necessary details, like your phone number, your hobbies, etc. Read after me, detail. S: Detail. T: Let’s practice these words. I’ll say a sentence, and you tell me which word I’m referring to. “I need to write my name and address on this printed paper with spaces.” S: Form. T: “I’m going to live with a local family during my stay in another country.” S: Host family. T: “I’m taking a series of lessons to improve my math skills.” S: Course. T: “Please tell me the exact day when the party will be held.” S: Date. T: “You should include all the small pieces of information about your trip in the report.” S: Detail. 阅读前准备 T: Now that we know these new words, let’s prepare for reading. Look at the title of the text “Fill out our form and come to learn English in Los Angeles!” What do you think we can find in this text? Talk with your partner for one minute and then share your ideas with the class. (Students discuss in pairs) S1: I think we can find information about the English courses in Los Angeles. S2: Maybe there will be details about how to fill out the form. S3: I guess it will tell us something about the host families. T: Great predictions! Now, look at the picture next to the title. What can you see? S: There’s a form, and some people are looking at it. T: Right. And what do you think the form might ask for? Let’s make a list together. (Writing on the blackboard as students suggest) It might ask for our name, age, contact information, our English level, and the course we want to choose. 阅读练习 T: Now, let’s read the text quickly. This is called skimming. When we skim, we just look for the main ideas. Don’t read every word carefully. Try to find out what the text is mainly about in one minute. Start! (Students skim the text) T: Stop! So, who can tell me what the text is mainly about? S: It’s mainly about how to fill out a form to go and learn English in Los Angeles, and it also tells us some information about the courses and host families. T: Excellent! Now, let’s read the text again, but this time more carefully. This is called scanning. I’ll give you some questions, and you need to find the answers in the text. (Showing questions on the screen: What are the two types of courses? How long do the courses last? What kind of information does the form ask for? ) You have three minutes. Go! (Students scan the text to find the answers) T: Time’s up! Let’s check the answers together. What are the two types of courses? S: The two types of courses are the General English course and the Exam preparation course. T: How long do the courses last? S: The General English course lasts for 3 weeks, and the Exam preparation course lasts for 4 weeks. T: What kind of information does the form ask for? S: It asks for our name, age, address, telephone number, email, and our English level. It also asks which course we want to take and whether we want to stay with a host family or in a hotel. 文本分析 T: Now, let’s analyze some important sentences in the text. “Our courses are good value for money.” What does “good value for money” mean? Discuss with your partner. (Students discuss) S: It means the courses are worth the money we pay. We get a lot for the price. T: Exactly! For example, if you buy a book that is very interesting and useful and doesn’t cost too much, we can say it’s good value for money. Read this sentence aloud. S: Our courses are good value for money. T: Look at this sentence, “You can stay in a hotel or with a host family.” Here, we use “or” again, just like we learned last time. It shows a choice. You can choose to stay in a hotel, or you can choose to stay with a host family. Let’s make some more sentences using “or”. I’ll give you a topic. For example, food. You can say “You can eat pizza or hamburgers.” Now, you try with the topic “clothes”. S: You can wear a dress or jeans. T: Good! Another sentence, “All our teachers are trained and have a lot of experience.” Here, “and” is used to connect two related ideas. Our teachers are trained, and at the same time, they have a lot of experience. Let’s practice using “and”. I say “She likes reading,” and you add another idea with “and”. S: She likes reading and writing. T: Great! Also, pay attention to “The course starts on July 15th and ends on August 4th.” We use “start on” and “end on” to talk about the beginning and the end of something, especially when referring to a specific date. Read this sentence. S: The course starts on July 15th and ends on August 4th. 写作训练 T: Now, it’s your turn to be the form - filler. Suppose you really want to go to Los Angeles to learn English. First, think about the information you need to fill in the form. Then, write down your answers on a piece of paper. You can refer to the text for help. (Giving students some time to write) T: After you’ve finished writing, work in groups of four. Share your filled - out forms with your group members. Check each other’s forms. Are all the details correct? Are the sentences grammatically right? And help each other to improve the forms. (Walking around the classroom to offer help) T: Now, I’ll ask some students to share their forms with the whole class. Let’s see who has filled out the form most carefully and correctly. 课堂总结 T: Class, today we learned a lot. We learned new words like “form, host family, course, date, detail”. We practiced skimming and scanning texts to find information quickly. We also analyzed some important sentences and learned how to use conjunctions “and” and “or” in different contexts. And most importantly, we practiced filling out a form related to learning English in Los Angeles. Remember to review these words and reading skills at home. 作业布置 T: For your homework, I want you to design your own form. You can choose a topic, for example, a form for joining a school English club, or a form for signing up for a weekend sports activity. The form should ask for at least five different types of information. Use the words and sentence structures we learned today. Write it neatly on a piece of paper. We’ll share and discuss your forms in the next class. That’s all for today. Class is over. Goodbye! 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 $$
