教学过程
5.1 Warming - up (5 minutes)
Greet the students as usual.
Show some pictures of different holiday scenes, such as people swimming on the beach, hiking in the mountains, visiting museums. Ask students: “What can you see in the pictures? Have you ever been to these places? What did you do there?” Encourage students to share their simple ideas. This activity can arouse students' interest and lead in the topic of holidays.
5.2 Pre - reading (8 minutes)
Present some new words and expressions related to holidays on the PPT, such as “beach”, “mountain”, “go on a trip”, “visit a museum” etc. Teach the pronunciation and meaning of these words and expressions. Let students read after the teacher several times.
Divide students into pairs. Ask them to discuss and make a list of places they would like to go on holiday and the activities they would like to do there. Then invite some pairs to share their lists with the class. This can help students activate their prior knowledge and get ready for the reading.
5.3 While - reading (15 minutes)
Fast - reading: Give students a passage about a girl's holiday experience. Let them read the passage quickly and answer the question: “Where did the girl go on holiday?” Check the answer together. This can help students get the main idea of the passage.
Careful - reading: Let students read the passage carefully again. Ask them some detailed questions, such as “What did she do there? How did she feel? Did she buy any gifts? Who did she go with?” Have students find the relevant sentences in the passage to answer these questions. After that, explain some key sentences and language points in the passage, especially the usage of the simple past tense. For example, “I went to the beach with my family last week. We swam in the sea and played volleyball on the sand. I had a really great time.” Analyze the verb forms “went”, “swam”, “played” and “had” with students.
5.4 Post - reading (10 minutes)
Retelling activity: Ask students to retell the girl's holiday experience according to the key words and sentences on the PPT. First, let them practice in pairs, and then invite some students to retell it in front of the class. This can help students better understand and remember the passage, and also improve their speaking ability.
Group discussion: Divide students into groups of four. Ask them to discuss their own holiday experiences. Each student should share where they went, what they did, who they went with and how they felt. Encourage them to use the simple past tense and the learned vocabulary and expressions. After the discussion, each group chooses a representative to report their group's discussion results to the class.
5.5 Writing (7 minutes)
Guide students to write a short passage about their own holiday. First, let them make an outline, including the place, time, people they went with, activities they did and their feelings. Then ask them to start writing. Walk around the classroom to offer help and guidance when necessary. After they finish writing, ask them to exchange their passages with their partners to check for grammar, spelling and logical mistakes. Finally, invite some students to read their passages to the class.
5.6 Summary and Homework (5 minutes)

Ask students to make a holiday photo album and write a short description under each photo using the simple past tense. They can share it with their classmates next class.
教学反思
After this class, overall, the teaching objectives were basically achieved. Most students showed great interest in the topic of holidays and actively participated in various classroom activities. Through different reading, speaking and writing tasks, students had a good understanding of the key vocabulary, expressions and the usage of the simple past tense.
However, there are still some areas that need improvement. In the grammar teaching part, although much time was spent on explaining the simple past tense, especially the irregular verb forms, some students still had difficulty in using them correctly. In the future, more exercises and examples should be provided to strengthen their understanding and usage. Also, during the group discussion and writing activities, some students were a bit shy and less active. Teachers should pay more attention to these students, encourage them to express themselves more bravely and provide more individual guidance.
In addition, the time arrangement for each part could be further optimized. For example, in the writing part, some students didn't have enough time to check and revise their passages carefully. Next time, more time should be allocated to ensure the quality of students' writing.
