I hope you had a wonderful day so far. Before we start our new lesson, I want to have a little chat with you. You know, we spend a big part of our lives at school. So, I have a question for you. What do you like best about our school? Is it the fun subjects we study, the friendly teachers, or maybe the exciting activities we do? Raise your hands and share your thoughts with me. Student 1: I like PE class best because we can play games and do sports. It's really fun. Student 2: I like the school library. There are so many interesting books, and I can read whenever I want. Teacher: Great answers! It seems our school has a lot of wonderful things that you all enjoy. Today, we are going to learn Unit 2 - What do I like best about school? in Module 2 Education. We will find out what a girl named Susie likes best about her school in London. Let's open our books to page [X] and start our journey. 二、词汇讲解（约 10 分钟） Teacher: First, let's look at some new words and phrases that we will meet in the passage. On the screen, you can see the word “facility”. Facility means a place, piece of equipment, or service that is provided for a particular purpose. For example, our school has great sports facilities like the basketball court and the swimming pool. Repeat after me, facility. Students: Facility. Teacher: Next is “stimulating”. When something is stimulating, it makes you feel excited and interested, and it makes your mind active. For instance, a stimulating class can make us think a lot and learn new things. Say it together, stimulating. Students: Stimulating. Teacher: Now, “resourceful”. A resourceful person is good at finding ways to solve problems and make things happen. Our teachers are very resourceful. They always find different ways to help us understand difficult knowledge. Read after me, resourceful. Students: Resourceful. Teacher: Another word is “engaging”. If something is engaging, it is interesting and attracts your attention. An engaging story can make us read it without stopping. Let's read it, engaging. Students: Engaging. Teacher: Let's practice using these words. I will give you some sentences, and you need to fill in the blanks with the correct words. For example, “The new science experiment was really ______ (stimulating) as it made us think in new ways.” Now, here is the first sentence: “Our school provides various ______ (facilities) for us to study and play.” Student 3: facilities Teacher: Correct! Well done. The next one, “She is a very ______ (resourceful) student. She always comes up with great ideas for our group projects.” Student 4: resourceful Teacher: Excellent! Keep it up. 三、课文讲解（约 20 分钟） Teacher: Now, let's start reading the passage. First, I want you to do a quick skim of the passage. Just look through it quickly and find out the main idea. Don't worry about every single word. Try to get a general sense of what Susie is talking about. Are you ready? Start! (Students skim the passage for about 2 minutes) Teacher: Okay, stop. Can anyone tell me what the passage is mainly about? Student 5: It's about Susie's school life in London. Teacher: Exactly! Very good. Now, let's read the passage more carefully. Paragraph by paragraph. In the first paragraph, Susie says “I've been at River School, London, since I was eleven.” What does this sentence tell us? Student 6: It tells us how long Susie has been at this school. Teacher: Right. She has been at River School for several years. Now, look at the second paragraph. It says “River School is a secondary school, about 20 minutes by bike away from my home.” What information can we get from this sentence? Student 7: We know what kind of school it is and how far it is from her home. Teacher: Perfect. A secondary school is like our junior high school. And it takes her 20 minutes to ride a bike to school. Moving on to the third paragraph, it mentions the school day. “We go to school every weekday from 8:45 to 15:15.” How long does her school day last? Student 8: It lasts for 6 and a half hours. Teacher: Great job! Now, let's talk about the fourth paragraph. Here, Susie talks about the subjects. She says “We study Maths, English, Science, History, Geography, French and Spanish. We also have IT and PE.” What subjects do we have in our school that are the same as Susie's? Student 9: We have Maths, English, Science, History, and PE. Teacher: Right. But we don't have French and Spanish. Different schools in different countries may have different subject arrangements. In the fifth paragraph, Susie mentions the after-school activities. “There are lots of clubs and activities at our school. I'm in the football club and the drama club.” What after-school activities do we have in our school? Student 10: We have art club, music club, and sports clubs. Teacher: Exactly. Schools all around the world offer various after-school activities to make students' lives more colorful. Finally, in the last paragraph, Susie tells us what she likes best about school. “The best thing about school is spending time with my friends and learning new things.” What do you like best about our school? Can you use the sentence “The best thing about school is...” to express your opinion? Student 11: The best thing about school is the delicious food in the cafeteria. Student 12: The best thing about school is the school trips we take. 四、句型学习与练习（约 15 分钟） Teacher: In the passage, we learned some useful sentence patterns. One is “I like... because...”. For example, Susie says “I like PE because I can do sports and stay healthy.” Now, it's your turn. Use this pattern to tell me what you like and the reason. Student 13: I like English class because I can learn about different cultures. Student 14: I like art club because I can draw beautiful pictures. Teacher: Very good. Another important sentence pattern is “The best thing about school is...”. We just practiced it a while ago. Let's make it more challenging. I want you to make a short paragraph using both of these sentence patterns. For example, “The best thing about school is the library. I like the library because I can find many interesting books there. Reading makes me happy and helps me learn new knowledge.” Now, you do it. You can write it down first and then share it with the class. (Students write for about 3 minutes and then share their paragraphs) Student 15: The best thing about school is the playground. I like the playground because I can play basketball with my friends. Playing basketball makes me strong and improves my teamwork skills. Student 16: The best thing about school is the science experiments. I like science experiments because they are so interesting and make me understand science better. I can see amazing things happen during the experiments. 五、语法讲解（一般现在时和一般过去时）（约 10 分钟） Teacher: While reading the passage, you may have noticed that Susie uses both the simple present tense and the simple past tense. Let's review them. The simple present tense is used to talk about things that are true in general, habits, or things that happen regularly. For example, “We go to school every weekday.” Here, “go” is in the simple present tense because it is a regular action. Can you give me an example of the simple present tense? Student 17: I get up at 7 o'clock every morning. Teacher: Great! Now, the simple past tense is used to talk about things that happened in the past. In the passage, Susie said “I started at this school when I was eleven.” “Started” is in the simple past tense. It shows an action that happened in the past. Give me an example of the simple past tense. Student 18: I played football yesterday. Teacher: Perfect. Now, let's do some exercises to practice these two tenses. On the screen, you can see some sentences. Fill in the blanks with the correct form of the verbs, either simple present tense or simple past tense. For example, “I ______ (go) to the park every Sunday. (Answer: go)” Now, the first sentence: “She ______ (visit) her grandparents last week.” Student 19: visited Teacher: Correct. The next one: “He usually ______ (read) books after dinner.” Student 20: reads 六、小组讨论与分享（约 10 分钟） Teacher: Now, I want you to work in groups of four. Discuss this question: If you could change one thing about our school, what would it be and why? You can use the sentence patterns and vocabulary we learned today. Each group chooses a leader to write down the main ideas and a presenter to share them with the class later. Start your discussion. (Students discuss in groups for about 5 minutes) Teacher: Okay, time's up. Which group wants to share first? Group 1 Presenter: If we could change one thing about our school, we would like to have more art classes. We like art because it allows us to show our creativity. The best thing about art classes is that we can draw whatever we want. Teacher: That's a great idea. What about the next group? Group 2 Presenter: We want to change the school cafeteria. We think the food there could be more delicious. We like delicious food because it makes us feel happy. The best thing about good food is that it gives us more energy to study. 七、课堂总结（约 5 分钟） Teacher: Today, we learned a lot. We learned new words like “facility”, “stimulating”, “resourceful”, and “engaging”. We read about Susie's school life in London and learned how to use sentence patterns such as “I like... because...” and “The best thing about school is...”. Also, we reviewed the simple present tense and the simple past tense. Remember, school is a place full of fun and learning. We should cherish every moment here. After class, I want you to write a short passage about your school life, using the knowledge we learned today. 八、作业布置（约 2 分钟） Teacher: For your homework, first, copy the new words and phrases three times and make sentences with them. Second, write a passage about “My School Life”. You should include what you like best about school, your school subjects, and after-school activities. Try to use the sentence patterns and tenses we learned. Hand in your homework tomorrow. That's all for today's class. Class is over.
