We've been exploring the fascinating world of festivals and celebrations in Unit 1. So far, we've learned about various festivals around the globe, their origins, and how they are celebrated. Today, we're going to focus on improving our listening and talking skills related to this interesting topic. Are you all excited? Students: Yes! Teacher: Great! Let's start with a warm - up activity. I want you to close your eyes and imagine a festival you know well. It could be a local festival, a national one, or even a festival from another country that you find appealing. Visualize the colorful decorations, the sounds, the people, and the overall atmosphere. After a minute, I'll ask you to share what you've imagined. So, close your eyes now and start imagining. (After about a minute) Teacher: Alright, time's up. Who wants to share the festival they imagined? Raise your hands. Student 1: I imagined the Spring Festival. There are red lanterns everywhere, and people are wearing new clothes. Families are getting together for a big dinner. Teacher: Wonderful! The Spring Festival is indeed a very important and lively festival in China. The red lanterns and new clothes you mentioned are such typical elements. What about the food? Can you describe some of the special dishes? Student 1: There's dumplings. They are really delicious, and people believe eating dumplings brings good luck. Teacher: Exactly. Dumplings are a must - have during the Spring Festival. Their shape is similar to ancient Chinese gold or silver ingots, symbolizing wealth. Any other students want to share? Student 2: I thought about the Rio Carnival. I saw people in colorful costumes dancing in the streets. The music was so loud and energetic. Teacher: The Rio Carnival is world - famous for its spectacular parades and vibrant atmosphere. What kind of music do you think was playing? Student 2: Samba music, I guess. The rhythm made everyone want to dance. Teacher: You're right. Samba is the heart of the Rio Carnival. The lively rhythm of samba music gets people moving and creates an extremely exciting environment. Now, let's move on to our listening part. (Play the recording of a radio program about festivals for the first time) Teacher: Listen carefully to this radio program. It's about some unique festivals around the world. While listening, try to catch the main ideas and any key information about the festivals. After the first listening, I'll ask you some general questions. (After the first play) Teacher: Okay, let's start with some basic questions. How many festivals were mentioned in the radio program? Student 3: Three festivals were mentioned. Teacher: Good. Can you name them? Student 3: La Tomatina, the Cheese - Rolling Festival, and a festival about throwing wellies. Teacher: Very good. Now, let's listen to the recording again. This time, pay more attention to the details of each festival, such as when and where they are held, and how they are celebrated. Take some notes if you need to. (Play the recording for the second time) Teacher: Alright, let's talk about La Tomatina first. When and where is it held? Student 4: It's held in the Spanish town of Buñol every August. Teacher: Correct. And how is it celebrated? Student 4: People throw tomatoes at each other. It's a huge tomato fight. Teacher: Exactly. It's a very messy but fun festival. The number of tomatoes used is astonishing. Now, what about the Cheese - Rolling Festival? Student 5: It takes place in a small town in England. People roll cheese wheels down a hill, and others chase after them. Teacher: Great. And what about the festival of throwing wellies? Student 6: I think it's held in a village. People throw wellies, and there are different competitions like the farthest throw and the most accurate throw. Teacher: You've all done a great job in listening. Now, let's have a group discussion. I'll divide you into groups of four. In your groups, discuss which of these three festivals you would most like to attend and why. Also, compare these festivals with some festivals you know in your own region. You have about ten minutes to discuss. (Students form groups and start discussing) Teacher: Okay, time's up. Let's hear from each group. Which group wants to start? Group 1: We would like to attend La Tomatina the most. It seems really exciting to be part of a huge tomato fight. In our region, we have a food festival, but it's more about tasting different kinds of food, not throwing them. La Tomatina is much more energetic and unique. Teacher: That's an interesting comparison. The food festival in your region focuses on tasting, while La Tomatina turns food into a source of fun and play. Another group? Group 2: We chose the Cheese - Rolling Festival. It sounds like a challenging and unique sport. In our area, we have a sports festival, but the events are more like traditional sports like running and ball games. The Cheese - Rolling Festival has a very distinct cultural flavor. Teacher: Right. The Cheese - Rolling Festival combines elements of sport and local tradition in a very special way. Now, let's practice our speaking skills further. I'll show you some pictures of different festivals that we haven't talked about yet. (Show pictures of festivals like the Holi Festival in India, the Oktoberfest in Germany, and the Songkran Festival in Thailand) Teacher: I'll randomly assign each group a picture. Your task is to describe the festival in the picture as vividly as possible. Try to include details about the decorations, the people's activities, and the overall mood. You can also use your imagination to add some interesting details if you're not very familiar with the festival. After that, other groups can ask questions. Let's start with Group 3. Group 3: (Describe the Holi Festival) In this picture, we can see people covered in colorful powders. They are laughing and having a great time. There are bright - colored flags in the background. It seems like a very happy and energetic festival. People are throwing powders at each other, and everyone's clothes are getting all colorful. Teacher: Wonderful description. Now, other groups, do you have any questions for Group 3? Group 4: Why do they throw colored powders at each other? What does it mean? Group 3: Well, we think it might be a way to celebrate and have fun. Maybe the colors represent different things, like joy and new beginnings. Teacher: Actually, in the Holi Festival, the colored powders symbolize the arrival of spring, the victory of good over evil, and the breaking down of social barriers. People smear each other with colors to express love and unity. Now, let's move on to Group 4 to describe their festival. Group 4: (Describe the Oktoberfest) In this picture, there are big tents. People are wearing traditional German clothes, like lederhosen for men and dirndls for women. They are sitting at long tables, drinking beer and eating delicious food. There's a band playing music, and everyone looks really happy and relaxed. Teacher: Great job. Any questions from other groups? Group 5: What kind of food do they usually eat during Oktoberfest? Group 4: We think there might be sausages, pretzels, and other German specialties. Teacher: Correct. During Oktoberfest, you can find a variety of German foods such as bratwurst, giant pretzels, and different kinds of sauerkraut. Now, Group 5, it's your turn to describe the Songkran Festival. Group 5: In the picture of the Songkran Festival, people are in the streets, and they are all wet. They are using buckets and water guns to splash water at each other. There are also some floats with beautiful decorations. It looks like a very refreshing and lively festival. Teacher: Fantastic description. Questions from other groups? Group 1: Why do they splash water at each other? Group 5: We guess it might be related to cleaning or cooling off because it seems to be a hot season. Teacher: In fact, during the Songkran Festival, which is Thailand's New Year celebration, splashing water is a symbol of washing away bad luck and welcoming a new start. It also represents purity and kindness. Now, let's talk about the importance of festivals in different cultures. Why do you think festivals are so important in our lives? Student 7: Festivals bring families and communities together. For example, during the Spring Festival, no matter how far away people are, they will try to go home to be with their families. Teacher: That's a very important point. Festivals strengthen family and community bonds. What else? Student 8: They also preserve our culture and traditions. Like the traditional dances and music during festivals are passed down from generation to generation. Teacher: Exactly. Festivals are a living heritage, carrying the values and stories of our ancestors. Now, let's do a role - play activity. I'll give you a scenario. Suppose you are international students at a cultural exchange event. Each of you represents a different country and needs to introduce a special festival in your country to others. You can use the knowledge and vocabulary we've learned today. You have five minutes to prepare, and then we'll start the role - play. (Students prepare for the role - play) Teacher: Alright, let's start the role - play. Who wants to be the first to introduce their festival? Student 9: Hello, everyone! I'm from Brazil, and I want to introduce the Rio Carnival. It's one of the most famous festivals in the world. It usually takes place before Lent. During the carnival, the streets are filled with people in elaborate costumes. There are samba schools parading, and their floats are incredibly beautiful. The music is so lively that you can't help but dance. It's a time to celebrate life, culture, and diversity. Student 10: That sounds amazing! I'm from China, and I want to tell you about the Mid - Autumn Festival. It's a time for family reunions. We eat mooncakes, which are round pastries with different fillings. We also admire the full moon, which symbolizes unity and harmony. Student 11: I'm from the United States, and I'd like to talk about Thanksgiving. It's a day to give thanks for the blessings in our lives. Families gather for a big dinner, and turkey is the main dish. We also watch football games on TV. Teacher: You've all done an excellent job in this role - play. Through this activity, you not only practiced your speaking skills but also learned more about festivals from different cultures. For homework, I want you to write a short passage about a festival that you've learned about today or a festival you know well. Include details about its origin, how it is celebrated, and why it is important to you or your community. This will help you further solidify what we've learned in class today. That's all for today's class. Thank you, everyone, for your active participation. Have a great day! ( 第 1 页 共 1 页 ) 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 $$
