教学过程

1. Warming - up (5 minutes)

Show students some pictures of extreme sports like skateboarding and surfing on the PPT, and ask: “What can you see in these pictures? Have you ever tried these sports? Do you think they are exciting?” Encourage students to share their opinions briefly.

Then play a short video about different unique hobbies around the world, and ask students to list the hobbies they see in the video. This can arouse students’ interest in the topic of hobbies and quickly draw their attention to the class.

Vocabulary teaching:

Present new words and phrases related to hobbies on the PPT, along with pictures. For example, show a picture of a person skateboarding and teach the word “skateboarding”. Explain the pronunciation, spelling, and meaning of each word. Let students read the words after the teacher several times.

Use some simple sentences to illustrate the usage of new phrases. For example, “I am crazy about photography. I often take pictures of beautiful scenery.” Let students make their own sentences with these phrases and share them with the class.

Sentence pattern teaching:

Write some key sentence patterns on the blackboard, such as “My favorite hobby is + noun/verb - ing.” and “I am crazy about + noun/verb - ing.” Explain the structure and usage of these sentence patterns.
