教学过程

A. Lead - in (5 minutes)

Greet the students as usual.

Show some pictures of different public places, such as a park, a library, a hospital, and a cinema. Ask students: "Boys and girls, look at these pictures. What places are they? And can you think of any rules in these places?" Let students discuss in pairs and then share their ideas. This activity can activate students' prior knowledge and arouse their interest in the topic.

B. Presentation (15 minutes)

Vocabulary Teaching

Show some common signs one by one on the PPT, such as "no smoking", "no littering", "exit". Teach students to read the English expressions of these signs.

Let students read several times to ensure they can pronounce correctly.

Explain the meaning of each sign in simple English. For the "no littering" sign, say: "This sign means we can't throw rubbish everywhere. We should keep the place clean."

Do a quick review. Point to different signs randomly and ask students to say the English expressions and meanings.

Listening Activity

Tell students: "Now, let's listen to a dialogue. In the dialogue, two friends are walking in a shopping mall and they see many signs. Listen carefully and see what signs they talk about."

Play the listening material for the first time. Students just listen without taking notes. After that, ask some general questions, such as "Where are the two people?" "What are they doing?"

Play the listening material again. This time, ask students to listen carefully and write down the signs they hear. Then check the answers together.

Play the listening material for the third time. Ask students to listen and complete a table about the signs. The table may include columns like "sign", "meaning", and "rules related to the sign". For example, if the sign "no food and drink" is mentioned, students need to write in the "meaning" column: "We can't eat or drink here", and in the
