Show some pictures of people doing different sports, such as playing basketball, swimming, running, etc. on the PPT. T: Boys and girls, look at these pictures. What are the people in the pictures doing? Ss: They are playing basketball/swimming/running... T: Great! Do you like these sports? Which sport do you like best? Invite several students to share their favorite sports briefly. B. Pre - reading (8 minutes) Pair - work T: Now, talk with your partner. Which sports do you like? And why do you like them? You can use the following example: I like playing basketball because it’s exciting and fun. I enjoy working with my teammates to score points and win games. Walk around the classroom to monitor and offer help if necessary. Then invite some pairs to share their conversations with the class. Brainstorming T: Before we read the passage, think about this question: What will happen if a person doesn't exercise regularly? Write down students' answers on the blackboard, such as getting fat, being weak, having no energy, etc. C. While - reading (15 minutes) Fast - reading T: Now, please open your books to page 88. Read the passage quickly and find out the main idea. Then answer the question: What is the passage mainly about? Give students 2 - 3 minutes to read. Ss: The passage is mainly about Ben and Tim's different exercise habits and how Tim changes. T: Very good. Can you find out who used to exercise a lot? Ss: Ben and Tim used to exercise a lot together. Careful - reading T: Read the passage carefully this time and answer the true - false questions on the PPT. Questions: A. Tim used to exercise a lot. (T) B. Ben watches videos much but never plays computer games. (F) C. Ben and Tim are both putting on weight. (F) D. Tim is becoming healthy again. (T) Let students read the passage again to find evidence for each answer. Then check the answers together. Explain some language points while going through the passage: used to do sth. T: Look at this sentence “They used to exercise a lot together.” “used to do sth.” means that someone often did something in the past, but they don't do it now. Can you give me some other examples? Invite students to make sentences using “used to do sth.” put on weight T: “And he is putting on weight.” What does “put on weight” mean? Yes, it means getting fatter. Who can give an example? Ss: If you eat too much ice - cream, you will put on weight. worry about T: “Ben worries about Tim.” “worry about” means to be anxious or concerned about someone or something. For example, I worry about my mother's health. Can you make a sentence like this? Ss practice making sentences. D. Post - reading (12 minutes) Role - play Divide students into groups of four. Two students act as Ben and Tim, and the other two act as their friends. They talk about Tim's change in exercise habits. T: You can use the information from the passage and make up your own dialogues. Give students 5 - 6 minutes to prepare. Then invite some groups to come to the front of the class and perform their dialogues. Discussion T: Now, let's have a discussion. Do you think exercise is important? Why or why not? And what kind of exercise do you think is the best for us? Discuss in groups of four. Walk around the classroom to listen to students' discussions and offer guidance. After 5 - 6 minutes, invite some students to share their group's opinions. E. Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Summary T: Boys and girls, let's summarize what we have learned today.

Homework T: For homework, write a short passage about your own exercise plan. You can use the phrases and sentence patterns we learned today. And next class, we will share our plans with each other. 教学反思 After teaching this lesson, I need to reflect on the following aspects. First, in the teaching process, the warm - up part successfully attracted students' attention and engaged them in the topic. However, during the pair - work in the pre - reading stage, some students were a little shy to speak English. I should encourage them more and create a more relaxed atmosphere. Second, when explaining the language points, most students seemed to understand, but some students still had trouble using “used to do sth.”, “be used to do sth.” and “be/get used to doing sth.” correctly. I need to design more exercises to help them distinguish and master these structures. Third, the role - play and discussion activities were quite lively, but the time control was not perfect. Some groups didn't have enough time to fully show their ideas. In the future, I should better allocate time for different activities to ensure the smooth progress of the whole class. Overall, I will make adjustments according to these reflections to improve my teaching quality in the next class. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
