Teacher: How was your weekend? Did anyone do something interesting? Students: (Various responses: "I watched a football match." "I visited the zoo.") Teacher: Sounds fun! Let's start today's lesson by recalling what we learned in Unit 1. Who can tell me the main topic of Unit 1? Mark: We talked about Australia through Lingling's photos, like kangaroos and the Sydney Opera House. Teacher: Exactly! And we learned about relative clauses with "that", right? For example, "I have some photos that I took in Australia." Today, we'll continue exploring Australia in Unit 2: "The game that they like most is Australian football." Let's start with some new words. Look at the screen, please. (Teacher displays words: football, match, team, popular, player, score, win, etc.) Teacher: Let's read them together. Football— Students: Football! Teacher: Match— Students: Match! ... Teacher: Great. Now, let's think: What sports are popular in your country? Lisa: Basketball and ping-pong. Tom: Football, too! Teacher: Good. In Australia, there's a special kind of football. Let's look at this picture. (Shows a photo of an Australian football match.) What do you notice? Emma: The players are running with a ball, but the field looks bigger than a soccer field. Teacher: You're sharp! That's Australian rules football, or Aussie rules for short. It's very popular there. Now, let's listen to the conversation between Betty and her dad. They're talking about Australian sports. First listen, then tell me: What's the most popular game in Australia? (Plays the audio.) Teacher: Who got the answer? Jack: Australian football. Teacher: Correct! Let's listen again and answer more questions. (Displays questions: 1. How many players are there in a team? 2. When do they play the game? 3. Do they score goals?) (Replays the audio.) Teacher: Let's check. Question 1: How many players in a team? Sarah: Eighteen? Teacher: Yes! Each team has 18 players. Question 2: When do they play? David: In winter. Teacher: Right. Question 3: Do they score goals? Lily: Yes, they do. Teacher: Perfect. Now, let's open our books to Page 58. Let's read the text together. "The game that they like most is Australian football..." (Students read aloud with the teacher.) Teacher: Good reading. Now, let's find the relative clause in the title. Who can point it out? Peter: "That they like most." Teacher: Exactly! "The game that they like most"—the clause "that they like most" describes "the game". Let's find more relative clauses in the text. Read silently and underline them. (Students work individually. Teacher walks around.) Teacher: Time's up. Who found one? Anna: "It's a sport that is very popular in Australia." Teacher: Excellent! "That is very popular in Australia" modifies "sport". Another one? Mike: "The players that run fastest can score the most goals." Teacher: Well done! Now, let's practice making our own sentences. Use "The... that..." structure. For example: "The book that I read last week is very interesting." Who wants to try? Susan: The song that we listened to yesterday is my favorite. Teacher: Great! Another? John: The teacher that teaches us math is very kind. Teacher: Perfect. Teacher: Let's talk about Australian football in more detail. From the text, what's special about it? Emma: It's played on a big field. Teacher: Yes, much bigger than a soccer field. What do the players do? Tom: They can kick the ball, catch it, and run with it. Teacher: Correct. And scoring goals gives points—more than just kicking into the net, right? The text says they get more points for kicking between the middle posts. Teacher: Now, let's watch a short video clip of an Australian football match. Pay attention to how the players move and score. (Plays a 2-minute video.) Teacher: Wow, exciting, isn't it? Did you see how fast they run? Students: Yes! Teacher: Let's discuss in pairs: Do you think you'd like to play Australian football? Why or why not? (Pairs discuss for 2 minutes.) Teacher: Let's share. What do you think, Anna and Tom? Anna: I think it looks fun, but it seems tiring! Tom: I'd like to try—running and kicking looks cool. Teacher: Interesting opinions. Teacher: Now, let's do a role-play. Imagine you're interviewing an Australian football player. One of you is the reporter, the other is the player. Use these questions: "What's the game that you like most?" "How many players are in your team?" "When do you usually play?" Let's start with Lucy and Bob. Lucy (as reporter): What's the game that you like most? Bob (as player): The game that I like most is Australian football. Lucy: How many players are in your team? Bob: There are 18 players in my team. ... (Other pairs continue the role-play.) Teacher: Fantastic! You all sound like real reporters. Now, let's practice grammar. Look at the worksheet. Fill in the blanks with "that" where needed. Example: "The team ______ won the match is from Sydney." Students: That! Teacher: Correct. Let's do the rest. You have 5 minutes. (Students work on worksheets.) Teacher: Time's up. Let's check. Question 1: "Australian football is a sport ______ many people love." Students: That. Teacher: Good. Question 2: "The goals ______ they scored were amazing." Students: That. Teacher: Perfect. Teacher: Let's think about other popular sports in Australia. The text mentions swimming and surfing, too. Why do you think those are popular? Jack: Because Australia has many beaches. Teacher: Exactly! Warm weather and long coasts make water sports popular. Have you tried surfing? Students: (Some say yes, others no.) Teacher: Maybe one day you will! Teacher: Now, let's have a group project. Each group will create a poster about an Australian sport—football, swimming, surfing, etc. Include: 1. A picture. 2. A sentence with a relative clause (e.g., "Surfing is a sport that people enjoy on Australian beaches."). 3. One fun fact. You have 10 minutes. (Groups work on posters.) Teacher: Time to present! Group 1, your poster is about... Group 1: Australian football! (Shows poster.) "The game that Australians love most is Aussie rules. Fun fact: Games last for over 2 hours!" Teacher: Great! Group 2? Group 2: Surfing! "Surfing is a sport that started in Australia. Fun fact: The biggest waves are in winter!" Teacher: Excellent work, everyone! Teacher: Let's summarize today's lesson. What new things did we learn? Students: (Responses: "Australian football rules." "More about relative clauses." "Popular sports in Australia.") Teacher: Perfect. For homework: Write a short paragraph about your favorite sport, using at least two relative clauses with "that". Example: "My favorite sport is basketball. It's a game that requires speed and teamwork. The player that I admire most is Yao Ming." Also, review the new words. Teacher: Any questions? Students: No, teacher. Teacher: Great. Class is over. See you tomorrow! Students: Goodbye, 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 $$
