For example, show a picture of Audrey Hepburn and ask “How would you describe her?” Encourage students to use words like “beautiful,” “elegant,” etc. Then, start the topic by asking “How do you feel about yourself? Do you think you are beautiful/handsome? What kind of person are you?” This can arouse students’ interest and lead them into the content of this lesson. 5.2 Vocabulary Teaching (10 minutes) Present the new words about appearance and personality one by one on the PPT. For each word, show relevant pictures to help students understand the meaning. For example, when teaching “slim,” show a picture of a slim - figured person; when teaching “humorous,” show a picture of a famous comedian making people laugh. Read the words aloud for students, and let them repeat several times, paying attention to the pronunciation. Then, divide the class into pairs. One student reads the word, and the other student spells it. After that, do a quick quiz. Show the Chinese meanings of the words on the PPT and ask students to quickly say the corresponding English words. 5.3 Listening Activity (10 minutes) Tell students that they will listen to a conversation between two friends, Sarah and Tom, who are talking about themselves. Before listening, show some questions on the PPT, such as: What does Sarah look like? What kind of personality does Tom have? Play the recording for the first time. Students just listen and get a general idea of the conversation. Play the recording again. This time, students listen carefully and take notes to answer the questions. Check the answers with the whole class. Play the relevant parts of the recording again if necessary to clarify any misunderstandings. 5.4 Speaking Activity (10 minutes) Divide the students into groups of four. Each student in the group needs to describe themselves in terms of appearance and personality. Encourage them to use the new words and sentence patterns they have just learned. For example, “I am of medium build. I have short straight hair. I think I am a very friendly and humorous person because I like to tell jokes and make my friends laugh.” While the students are speaking in groups, the teacher walks around the classroom, listening to their conversations and providing necessary guidance and corrections. After the group work, invite some groups to come to the front of the class and share their self - descriptions with the whole class. The rest of the students can ask questions if they are interested. 5.5 Summary and Homework (10 minutes) Summarize the key points of this lesson with the students, including the new vocabulary, sentence patterns, and the importance of positive self - perception. Assign homework: Ask students to write a short passage about themselves, including their appearance, personality, and what they like about themselves. They should use at least five new words and three key sentence patterns. Ask students to collect some information about their favorite celebrities, including their appearance and personality, and be ready to share it in the next class. 教学反思 After this lesson, it is necessary to reflect on the teaching process. First, in the vocabulary teaching part, although using pictures can help students understand the words better, some students may still have difficulty in remembering the spelling. Maybe more spelling games or memory - enhancing methods can be added in future teaching. Second, during the listening activity, some students had trouble catching the key information quickly. It might be helpful to give them some pre - listening tips, such as predicting the content based on the questions. Third, in the speaking activity, most students were active in expressing themselves, but a few shy students were a bit reluctant. In the future, more individual encouragement and smaller - scale speaking activities can be designed to help these students gradually overcome their shyness. Overall, this lesson should be adjusted and improved continuously to better meet the learning needs of students and achieve better teaching results. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
