I. Lead - in
Teacher: Good morning, class! Today, we are going to explore Unit 3 Sports and Fitness. First, let's think about this question: What kinds of sports do you know? Raise your hands and share with us.
Student 1: I know basketball. We play it in the playground after class.
Teacher: Great! Basketball is a very popular team sport. What else?
Student 2: I like swimming. It's cool to swim in the pool during summer.
Teacher: Swimming is an excellent sport for the whole body. Now, take a look at these pictures on the screen. (Show pictures of various sports like e - sports, traditional sports, and some new types of sports) Some of these might be familiar, and some might be new to you. The saying "All sports for all people" by Pierre de Coubertin emphasizes that sports are for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. Does anyone know who Pierre de Coubertin is?
Student 3: He is the father of modern Olympic games.
Teacher: Exactly! He founded the IOC (International Olympic Committee) in 1894 and also gave us the Olympic motto "Faster, higher, stronger". Now, let's move on to some more interesting sports discussions.
II. Pre - listening
Teacher: Look at the posters on the screen. What sports events do you see? And which one would you like to watch or try? Let's start with you, Student 4.
Student 4: I see a soccer game poster. I would like to watch a soccer game because it's full of excitement and teamwork.
Teacher: Good choice. Soccer is widely loved around the world. How about you, Student 5?
Student 5: There's a badminton poster. I'd like to try badminton. It seems easy to start and can improve my reaction speed.
Teacher: That's right. Badminton is a great sport for both physical and mental exercise. Now, let's think about this. When we want to invite someone to a sports event, how can we do it? Here are some examples. (Show on the screen: "Do you want to watch the boxing match?", "Would you like to go to the soccer game?", "How about watching badminton this afternoon?") Let's practice these expressions. Student 6, please use one of these sentences to invite Student 7 to a sports event.
Student 6: Would you like to go to the soccer game, Student 7?
Student 7: Sure, I'd love to.
Teacher: Very good. Now, before we listen to the conversations, let's predict what we might hear. When someone invites another person to a sports event, what information might be included? Think about it and share your ideas.
Student 8: Maybe the time and place of the event.
Teacher: That's a very important point. What else?
Student 9: The type of the sport, like whether it's a basketball game or a running event.
Teacher: Exactly. And maybe also some details about the event, such as ticket prices or special features. Let's keep these predictions in mind when we listen.
III. While - listening
Conversation 1
Teacher: Now, let's listen to the first conversation between Shen Qi and Amy. Listen carefully and try to catch the main idea. What is Shen Qi's main purpose for talking to Amy? (Play the recording of Conversation 1)
Teacher: Okay, time's up. What do you think Shen Qi's main purpose is? Hands up.
Student 10: I think Shen Qi is inviting Amy to an e - sports event.
Teacher: You are correct. Now, let's listen to the conversation again and answer some detailed questions. First, what are e - sports?
Student 11: E - sports are sports you play with a computer, like computer games.
Teacher: Right. And why can't Amy join them?
Student 12: She has to meet her badminton coach.
Teacher: Great. Now, let's focus on the way Shen Qi invites Amy. Listen to the conversation one more time and circle the words that the speaker stresses. Remember, content words like nouns, adjectives, and verbs are usually stressed. (Play the recording again)
Teacher: Let's check. In the sentence "Did you hear that there's an e - sports event this weekend?", which words are stressed?
Student 13: "hear", "e - sports", "event", "weekend".
Teacher: Correct. These are important content words that help convey the key information.
Conversation 2
Teacher: Next, we'll listen to another conversation. This time, Adam is inviting Julie to a sports event. Listen and answer these questions: When will the event happen? What's a "Blue Paint" run? (Play the recording of Conversation 2)
Teacher: Alright, who can answer the first question? When will the event happen?
Student 14: The event will happen on Saturday afternoon.
Teacher: Good. Now, what about the "Blue Paint" run? What is it?
Student 15: A "Blue Paint" run is a fun run that helps the community.
Teacher: Exactly. And why is it called a "Blue Paint" run?
Student 16: Because people can buy water balloons filled with blue paint and throw them at the runners.
Teacher: Very good. Now, let's do a little math. If 200 people take part in the run and 400 balloons are sold, how much money will they collect? You can discuss with your partners for a minute.
(Students discuss)
Student 17: Each person pays 20 dollars to run, so 200 people pay 200 times 20 dollars, which is 4000 dollars. Each balloon costs 5 dollars, and 400 balloons cost 400 times 5 dollars, which is 2000 dollars. In total, they collect 4000 + 2000 = 6000 dollars.
Teacher: Perfect! You've not only understood the conversation but also used math skills. Now, let's listen to the conversation again and pay attention to how Adam invites Julie. Notice the expressions he uses.
IV. Post - listening
Teacher: Now that we've listened to the two conversations, let's summarize the expressions for inviting someone to a sports event and responding. Who can tell me some of the invitation expressions we heard?
Student 18: "Did you hear that there's an e - sports event this weekend? Would you like to come along?"
Teacher: Good. What about responses?
Student 19: "Oh, sorry. I can't. I have to meet my badminton coach." or "That sounds like fun."
Teacher: Exactly. Now, I want you to work in pairs. One of you will invite the other to a sports event of your choice, and the other will respond. You can use the expressions we've learned and add some details about the event. For example, if you choose a ski race, you can mention the location and time. (Students practice in pairs)
Teacher: Okay, let's stop here. Who would like to come to the front and show us your conversation? Student 20 and Student 21, please.
Student 20: Hi, Student 21. Did you hear that there's a track meet next month? It's a great event for track - and - field lovers. Would you like to go?
Student 21: That sounds interesting. When exactly is it?
Student 20: It's on the 26th of next month. It will be held at the city stadium.
Student 21: Sure, I'd love to go. I've always wanted to watch a track meet.
Teacher: Wonderful! You've used the expressions very well and added some details. Now, let's think about this. Why are sports important in our lives? How do they benefit us? Discuss in your groups and share your ideas.
(Students discuss in groups)
Group 1 spokesperson: Sports can keep us healthy and fit. They also help us make friends and learn teamwork.
Teacher: That's a great point. What else?
Group 2 spokesperson: Sports can relieve stress. After a busy day of studying, doing some sports makes us feel better.
Teacher: Absolutely. Sports are not only about physical activity but also have a positive impact on our mental health.
V. Speaking
Teacher: Now, let's do a more challenging speaking task. I'll show you some information about a new sports event that is going to be held in our city. (Show information about a fictional sports event including time, place, type of sport, and some special features) In your groups, you need to create a conversation. One person will be a reporter, and the others will be people who are interested in the event. The reporter will interview the others about their thoughts on the event, whether they would like to participate or watch, and why. Use the knowledge and expressions we've learned today. (Students work in groups)
Teacher: Time's up. Let's ask some groups to present their conversations. Group 3, please come to the front.
(Group 3 presents their conversation)
Reporter: Hi, everyone. There's a new sports event coming up in our city. It's a unique cycling event that combines a long - distance ride with a scavenger hunt. What do you think of it?
Student A: It sounds really interesting. I love cycling, and the scavenger hunt part makes it even more exciting. I would definitely like to participate.
Student B: I'm not so good at cycling, but I think it would be fun to watch. I want to see how the participants deal with the challenges.
Reporter: Great. Why do you think such an event is important for our city?
Student C: It can promote a healthy lifestyle and bring people together. It also makes our city more lively.
Teacher: Excellent job, Group 3. You've not only had a good conversation but also thought about the significance of the sports event.
VI. Summary
Teacher: Today, we've learned a lot about inviting friends to sports events through listening and speaking. We've learned new sports like e - sports and the "Blue Paint" run. We've also practiced important invitation and response expressions. Remember, sports are an important part of our lives, bringing us health, joy, and opportunities to connect with others. Keep using English to talk about sports, and you'll improve your language skills while enjoying the world of sports.
VII. Homework
Teacher: For homework, I want you to write a short passage about a sports event you would like to invite a friend to. Include details such as the time, place, type of sport, and why you think your friend would be interested. You can also use some of the expressions we learned in class. Bring your passages to class tomorrow, and we'll share them with each other.
