Briefly introduce the concept to arouse their interest. 2. Reading (12 minutes) Pre - reading: Present some new words and phrases related to the 24 Solar Terms on the blackboard or PPT, such as "solar term", "crop growth", "farming", etc. Let students read and understand them. While - reading: Ask students to read the article about the 24 Solar Terms quickly and answer the general question: "What is the main idea of this article?" Then, let students read the article carefully again and answer the detailed questions on the textbook, such as "What are the uses of the 24 Solar Terms?" and "Which solar terms are related to traditional festivals and how to describe them?" After that, divide students into groups of four to discuss the cultural significance of the 24 Solar Terms in modern society. Each group selects a representative to share their ideas with the whole class. 3. Listening (15 minutes) Pre - listening: Show students the pictures of the four cities (Moscow, Shanghai, Cairo, and Sydney) and briefly introduce their geographical locations. Write the key words related to weather on the blackboard, such as "temperature", "weather condition", "sunshine hours", etc. While - listening: For B1, play the recording about the weather in December in the four cities for the first time. Students only listen. Then, play it again, and students complete the notes about temperature, weather, and sunshine hours. Check the answers with the whole class. For B2, play the weather forecast recording. Students listen and fill in the outdoor activity suggestions. After listening, ask several students to read out their answers.

Let students exchange their answers in pairs and then check the answers together. 4.

Encourage students to collect more information about the seasons and weather in different countries and share it in the next class. 教学反思 After this class, I found that students were generally interested in the content, especially the part about the 24 Solar Terms, which aroused their curiosity about traditional Chinese culture. However, there were also some problems. In the listening part, some students had difficulty in catching the rapid - fire weather information, especially when there were different accents. In the future, more listening practice with various accents should be provided, and some listening skills training, such as predicting key information before listening, could be strengthened. During the writing process, some students had problems with the logical structure of the article. Although they had the relevant information, they could not organize it well. Next time, more writing - structure guidance and sample analysis should be carried out before writing. In group discussions, a few students were less active. I need to encourage these students more and create a more relaxed and inclusive atmosphere to make every student participate in classroom activities actively. Overall, through this reflection, I will adjust my teaching methods and strategies to improve the teaching effect in the following classes. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
