Teaching Procedures:
Step 1: Lead-in
1. Choose one of our best friends in the picture and try to describe him/ her. use what have learned last class.
2. Free talk A1.
3. Work in pairs. Ask and answer questions in A1 about the students' best friend.
(Design Intent: Activate students' prior knowledge, create a relaxed classroom atmosphere to prepare for the new lesson, and practice students' oral expression skills.)
Step 2: Pre-reading
1. Look at the picture and describe it.
①Where are they?
②What are they talking about?
③How well are they getting along with each other?
2. Predict what the text may be about.
3. Check the answer.
(Design Intent: By observing the picture and answering related questions, students' observation and description abilities are cultivated. Asking them to predict the text content stimulates their reading interest and curiosity, preparing them for the reading activity.)
Step 3: While-reading
1. Read the text in A2 and mark T or F. Why? To know the reasons.
2. Check the answers.
3. Read the text again and draw thinking maps about Kangkang and his friends.
4. Group Work. Ask and answer questions about Kangkang and his friends based on A4, and then introduce them in your group. Speak out.
5. Show in class.
(Design Intent: Judging true or false and stating reasons deepens students' understanding of text details. Drawing thinking maps helps students organize character information and develop logical thinking skills. Group work and class presentations enhance students' cooperative learning ability, oral expression ability, and information integration ability.)
Step 4: Post-reading
1. Read and repeat.
2. Read along together.
3. How does Kangkang feel at the new school?
(Design Intent: Reading and repeating consolidate students' pronunciation and intonation, deepening their memory of the text. Asking about how Kangkang feels at the new school guides students to think deeply about the text's connotation, enhancing the depth of reading comprehension.)

2. Thinking Map Example
(Draw a bubble map on the blackboard:

Teaching Reflection:
In this lesson, attempts were made to cultivate students' reading abilities through a series of activities. Students were guided to extract key information from the text, organize ideas with thinking maps, and express themselves clearly. However, in future teaching, more attention should be paid to individual differences among students to ensure that every student can fully participate in class activities and make continuous progress in reading and communication skills.
