Warming - up (5 minutes) Play a short video about famous landmarks around the world, such as the Statue of Liberty, the Pyramids, and the Sydney Opera House. After the video, ask students: "What are these places? Do you want to visit them? Why?" Show some pictures of Singapore's landmarks, like Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay, and ask students: "Do you know which country these landmarks are in? What do you know about this country?" This can arouse students' curiosity and lead them into the topic of the lesson. B. Pre - reading (10 minutes) New Words Teaching Present the new words on the PPT one by one. For each word, show its pronunciation, meaning, and an example sentence. For example, for the word "landmark": Pronunciation: /ˈlændmɑːk/ Meaning: A building or place that is easily recognized, especially one that you can use to judge where you are. Example: The Empire State Building is a well - known landmark in New York. Let students read the words after the teacher several times, and then have them practice reading the words in pairs to correct each other's pronunciation. Background Introduction Briefly introduce Singapore to students. Singapore is a city - state in Southeast Asia. It is an island country with a highly developed economy. It has a diverse population with people from Chinese, Malay, Indian, and other ethnic groups. People here speak four official languages: English, Malay, Mandarin, and Tamil. Ask students some simple questions about the background information, such as "What are the official languages of Singapore?" to check their understanding. C. While - reading (15 minutes) Skimming Let students quickly read the text about Jiamin's visit to Singapore. Ask them to find out the main idea of the text and answer the question: "What is the text mainly about?" After students finish reading, invite some of them to share their answers. The main idea is that Jiamin is sharing her trip to Singapore with her friend Lily, including the places she is going to visit and the activities she will do. Scanning Ask students to read the text again carefully and answer some detailed questions on the PPT, such as: "How many people are there in Singapore?" "What are they going to do on Friday afternoon?" "Why is it easy for Jiamin to travel around in Singapore?" Have students work in pairs to discuss the answers. Then, check the answers together as a class. Language Points Explanation Explain the important phrases and grammar points in the text. For example: be famous for: Point out that this phrase is used to show what makes a place well - known. "Singapore is famous for its modern landmarks." Let students make their own sentences using this phrase, like "My hometown is famous for its delicious food." present continuous tense for future arrangements: Take the sentence "We're going to Merlion Park." as an example. Explain that when we talk about future plans that are already decided or arranged, we can use the present continuous tense. Let students find other similar sentences in the text and practice making sentences about their own future plans, such as "I'm going to the library after school." D. Post - reading (10 minutes) Role - playing Divide students into groups of four. Each group assigns roles as Jiamin, Lily, and two other friends. Jiamin will introduce her trip to Singapore to her friends, and the friends can ask questions. Encourage students to use the information from the text and the learned language points in their conversations. After each group finishes the role - playing, invite some groups to come to the front of the class and perform for the whole class. The rest of the students can listen and give comments. Discussion Pose the question: "What can we learn about a country when we travel?" Let students discuss in groups. Each group should choose a representative to share their group's ideas with the class. Their answers may include learning about the country's culture, history, traditions, local food, and different ways of life. E. Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Summary Summarize the key points of this lesson with students, including the new vocabulary, phrases, grammar (present continuous tense for future arrangements), and the main content about Singapore. Ask students to recall what they have learned by asking some review questions, such as "What does the word 'landmark' mean? What are some famous landmarks in Singapore? How do we use the present continuous tense to talk about future plans?" Homework Ask students to write a short passage about a place they want to visit. They should include the reasons why they want to visit, what they plan to do there, and what they expect to learn. Encourage students to search for more information about Singapore or other countries they are interested in on the Internet or in books and share it in the next class. 教学反思 After teaching this lesson, I found that the warming - up activity was effective in attracting students' attention and arousing their interest in the topic. The use of videos and pictures made the introduction more vivid. However, during the vocabulary teaching, some students had difficulty in remembering the new words quickly. Maybe more interactive methods, such as word games, could be used in the future. In the reading part, most students could understand the main idea and detailed information of the text through skimming and scanning. But when it came to using the language points flexibly in the role - playing and discussion activities, some students still made mistakes. This indicates that more practice and guidance are needed in real - life communication situations. The group work in role - playing and discussion promoted students' cooperation and communication skills, but some groups were a little passive. In the future, I will try to set more specific tasks and give more encouragement to ensure that every student participates actively. Overall, this lesson has achieved most of the teaching objectives, but there is still room for improvement in teaching methods and student participation. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
