I hope you’re all feeling great. Before we dive into our new lesson, let’s talk about something exciting—travel! Have you ever been on a trip? Maybe to a beautiful mountain, a big city, or even another country? Raise your hand if you have, and tell us where you went. Student 1: I went to Beijing with my family last summer. We visited the Great Wall. Teacher: Wow, the Great Wall is amazing! That must have been an unforgettable trip. What about you, Lily? Student 2: I traveled to Sanya. The beach there is so beautiful, and I swam in the sea every day. Teacher: Sounds wonderful! Traveling can bring us so many great memories and stories. Today, we’re going to learn Unit 2 of Module 1—“It's a long story.” It’s all about a special travel experience. Let’s open our books to page [X], and let’s start exploring this story together. 二、词汇学习 Teacher: First, let’s look at some new words and phrases that will help us understand the passage. Let’s start with “delay”. Can anyone guess what “delay” means? If your bus comes 30 minutes late, what happens? Student 3: It’s late. Teacher: Exactly! “Delay” means to be late or to make someone or something late. For example, “The flight was delayed because of the bad weather.” Repeat after me: delay. Students: Delay. Teacher: Next word: “abroad”. If someone says they’re going abroad, where are they going? Student 4: To another country. Teacher: Perfect! “Abroad” means in or to a foreign country. Like, “My uncle works abroad in Australia.” Let’s say it together: abroad. Students: Abroad. Teacher: Now, “journey”. What’s the difference between a “trip” and a “journey”? Think about a long way you travel. Student 5: A journey is a long trip? Teacher: That’s right! “Journey” usually refers to a long trip, especially by land. For example, “We had a long journey across the desert.” Repeat: journey. Students: Journey. Teacher: Let’s try one more: “luggage”. When you go on a trip, what do you take with you in big bags? Student 6: Clothes and things. Teacher: Yes! “Luggage” is the bags and cases you take when traveling. Like, “She carried her luggage to the hotel.” Say it: luggage. Students: Luggage. Teacher: Now, let’s do a quick exercise. I’ll read a sentence, and you fill in the blank with the right word: delay, abroad, journey, or luggage. “We packed our ______ the night before the trip.” Student 7: Luggage. Teacher: Correct! Next: “My brother studied ______ for three years, so he can speak English very well.” Student 8: Abroad. Teacher: Great job! One more: “The train was ______, so we arrived at the station an hour late.” Student 9: Delayed. Teacher: Excellent! You’re getting the hang of these words. 三、课文阅读与理解 Teacher: Now, let’s read the passage “It's a long story.” First, I want you to read it quickly—just to get a general idea. Don’t worry about every word. After reading, tell me: Who is the story about, and where did they go? Ready? Start reading silently. (Students read for 3 minutes) Teacher: Time’s up! So, who is the story about, and where did they go? Student 10: It’s about a girl named Anna, and she went to visit her grandmother in India. Teacher: That’s right! Good job. Now, let’s read it again more carefully. Let’s go paragraph by paragraph. Anna says, “I was born in India, but I’ve lived in London since I was five.” What does that tell us about Anna? Student 11: She’s from India but lives in London now. Teacher: Exactly. Now, in the next part, she talks about her journey to India. She says, “The journey was long—over 10 hours by plane.” How long did her flight take? Student 12: More than 10 hours. Teacher: Correct. That’s a very long flight! Now, let’s look at the part where there was a problem. “When we arrived in New Delhi, my suitcase wasn’t there.” Oh no! What happened to her suitcase? Student 13: It was lost. Teacher: Yes, that’s a big problem when traveling. How did she feel, do you think? Student 14: She must have been worried. Teacher: I agree. But don’t worry—let’s see what happened next. “The airline said it would come the next day, but it didn’t.” So, the airline promised her suitcase would arrive, but it didn’t. Then, “After three days, I started to get really upset.” Can you blame her? Waiting for your luggage for three days would be frustrating! Student 15: Yes, that’s terrible. Teacher: Finally, “On the fourth day, it arrived. I was so happy!” What a relief! Now, let’s think: Why do you think the story is called “It's a long story”? Student 16: Because her journey was long, and there were many things that happened, like the delayed luggage. Teacher: That’s a great answer! The journey had many ups and downs, so telling the whole story takes time. 四、句型练习 Teacher: Let’s look at some useful sentences from the passage. Anna says, “I’ve lived in London since I was five.” The structure “have/has + past participle + since + past time” is used to talk about an action that started in the past and continues now. Let’s make our own sentences. For example, “I’ve studied English since I was six.” Now, you try. Use “since” to talk about something you’ve done for a long time. Student 17: I’ve played the piano since I was seven. Teacher: Good! How about you, Tom? Student 18: I’ve lived in this city since I was born. Teacher: Excellent. Another sentence from the passage: “The airline said it would come the next day.” This is a reported speech. When we tell someone what another person said, we use reported speech. For example, if your friend says, “I will go to the park,” you can say, “My friend said he would go to the park.” Notice that “will” becomes “would” in reported speech. Let’s practice. If your mom says, “I will cook dinner tonight,” how do you report that? Student 19: My mom said she would cook dinner tonight. Teacher: Perfect! Let’s try another. If your teacher says, “We will have a test tomorrow,” what do you say? Student 20: The teacher said we would have a test tomorrow. Teacher: Great job! You’re mastering reported speech. 五、小组讨论 Teacher: Now, let’s work in groups of four. I want you to discuss this question: Have you ever had a problem during a trip? What happened, and how did you solve it? Use the new words and sentences we’ve learned. You have 5 minutes to talk, and then each group will share one story with the class. Go! (Groups discuss for 5 minutes) Teacher: Time’s up! Which group wants to share first? Group 1 Spokesperson: Last year, my family and I went to Shanghai. Our train was delayed for two hours. We were worried, but we bought some snacks and played card games to pass the time. Teacher: That’s a good way to handle a delay! What a great story. Another group? Group 2 Spokesperson: I went to a mountain with my friends. We got lost on the way down. We used a map on my phone and asked a hiker for help. Finally, we found the right path. Teacher: Oh, that sounds scary but exciting! I’m glad you found your way. Good job using “delay” in your story, too. 六、语法讲解：现在完成时 Teacher: In the passage, Anna uses the present perfect tense a lot, like “I’ve lived in London since I was five” and “I’ve visited my grandmother many times.” Let’s review the present perfect tense. It’s used to talk about actions that started in the past and continue now, or actions that happened at an unspecified time in the past. The structure is: have/has + past participle. For example, “I have eaten breakfast.” (I ate it, and now I’m not hungry.) “She has traveled to France.” (We don’t know when, but she has done it.) Teacher: Let’s practice. Make a sentence with the present perfect tense about something you’ve done this week. Student 21: I have finished my math homework. Teacher: Good! What about you, Mia? Student 22: I have watched a new movie with my family. Teacher: Great. Now, let’s compare it to the simple past tense. “I finished my homework yesterday” (simple past—we know when) vs. “I have finished my homework” (present perfect—no specific time). Can you see the difference? Students: Yes! Teacher: Let’s do an exercise. Fill in the blank with the present perfect or simple past tense. “I ______ (visit) Paris in 2019.” Student 23: Visited. Teacher: Correct, because we know the time—2019. Next: “She ______ (read) three books this month.” Student 24: Has read. Teacher: Perfect! This month is not finished, so present perfect is right. 七、写作练习 Teacher: Now, let’s write a short paragraph. Imagine you’re writing a postcard to a friend about a trip you’ve taken. Include where you went, how you got there, any problems you had, and what you liked most. Use at least three new words and the present perfect tense. You have 7 minutes to write, then we’ll share some. (Students write for 7 minutes) Teacher: Let’s hear from a few of you. Who wants to read their postcard? Student 25: Dear Lucy, I’ve just returned from a trip to Japan. The journey was long but amazing. We took a plane, and there was no delay. I visited Tokyo Tower and ate delicious sushi. I’ve never seen such a beautiful city! Miss you, Jake. Teacher: Wow, that’s a wonderful postcard, Jake! You used “journey,” “delay,” and “visited” perfectly. Great job! 八、课堂总结 Teacher: Let’s review what we’ve learned today. We learned new words: delay, abroad, journey, luggage. We read Anna’s story about her trip to India and practiced the present perfect tense and reported speech. We also shared our own travel stories. Remember, travel is full of adventures—good and bad—and they all make great stories. 九、作业布置 Teacher: For homework, first, write 5 sentences with each new word: delay, abroad, journey, luggage. Second, write a 100-word story about your most interesting travel experience. Use the present perfect tense and at least one example of reported speech. Third, read the passage again and underline all the present perfect tense sentences. Bring your homework to class tomorrow. Teacher: That’s all for today. Class dismissed! Have a great day, everyone. 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 $$
