教学过程
A. Warming - up (5 minutes)
Greet the students as usual. Then, show some pictures of school scenes, such as students reading in the library, playing on the playground, and having classes in the classroom. Ask students to describe what they see in the pictures briefly in English.
T: Good morning, class. Look at these pictures. What can you see?
S1: I can see some students reading books in the library.
T: Great. What about this picture?

C. Presentation (15 minutes)
Vocabulary Teaching
Show flashcards with new words and phrases related to school life one by one, such as "get up", "go to school", "have classes", etc. Read the words and phrases aloud, and ask students to repeat after the teacher several times.
T: Look at this flashcard. This is "get up". Read after me, get up.
Ss: get up.
Then, use some simple sentences to explain the meaning of the words. For example, for "get up", say "We get up in the morning. We get out of our beds."
After teaching all the words, play a game "What's Missing?". Show all the flashcards on the blackboard for a short time, then ask a student to close his/her eyes, and the teacher takes away one flashcard. The student needs to open his/her eyes and say what is missing.
Text Teaching
First, let students listen to the recording of the text about Lewis and Li Ming's school days for the first time. While listening, ask them to pay attention to the main idea of the text.
T: Now, let's listen to the recording. Try to find out what their school days are mainly about.
After listening, ask some students to share their answers.
S1: It's about their school time, classes and after - school activities.
Then, let students read the text carefully by themselves. Divide the text into several parts, and explain the key sentences and difficult points in each part.
For example, in the part about Lewis's school time: "Lewis usually gets up at 7:30 a.m. Then he has breakfast and goes to school by bus." Explain the usage of "usually" and the third - person singular form "gets up".
After the explanation, ask students some detailed questions about the text, such as "What time does Lewis get up?", "How does Li Ming go to school?" etc. to check their understanding of the text.
D. Practice (12 minutes)
Pair Work
Ask students to work in pairs. Each pair needs to talk about their own school days, using the key words, phrases and sentence patterns they have just learned. They can ask each other questions like "What time do you get up?", "What classes do you have today?" etc.
T: Now, work in pairs. Talk about your school days. Remember to use the new words and sentences.
Walk around the classroom to monitor and offer help when necessary. After a few minutes, invite some pairs to come to the front of the class and share their conversations with the whole class.
Group Work
Divide students into groups of four. Give each group a piece of paper with a table on it. The table has columns like "Time", "Activity in Lewis's school day", "Activity in Li Ming's school day", "My activity at the same time".
T: In your groups, compare the school days of Lewis and Li Ming, and then fill in your own activities in the last column.
The groups need to discuss and fill in the table together. After that, each group chooses a representative to report their results to the class.
E. Production (7 minutes)
Writing Task
Ask students to write a short passage about their own school days. They should include the time of getting up, going to school, having classes, having lunch, after - school activities and going to bed. Remind them to use the simple present tense correctly.
T: Now, it's your turn to write about your school days. You can refer to the conversations and the text we have learned.
Walk around the classroom to help students who may have difficulties in writing. After students finish writing, ask some of them to read their passages aloud in class. The teacher and other students can give some comments, such as praising good points and pointing out grammar mistakes.
F. Summary and Homework (3 minutes)

T: For your homework, make a beautiful poster about your school days. You can use your imagination and creativity.
教学反思
After teaching this lesson, I have the following reflections. Overall, the teaching process went smoothly. The warming - up and lead - in activities successfully attracted students' attention and aroused their interest in the topic. The vocabulary teaching with flashcards and games was effective, as most students could master the new words quickly.
However, there are still some areas that need improvement. In the grammar teaching of the simple present tense, although I used many examples to explain, some students still made mistakes in the third - person singular form. Maybe I should design more targeted exercises to strengthen their understanding. During the group work, some students were a little shy and didn't actively participate in the discussion. In the future, I need to create a more relaxed and encouraging atmosphere to make every student willing to express themselves. Also, in the writing task, some students' writing was a bit monotonous. I should provide more sentence patterns and expressions to help them make their writing more vivid.
In conclusion, through this teaching reflection, I will adjust my teaching methods and strategies in the following classes to better meet the needs of students and improve the teaching effect.
