③What can you do with them?
Step2: Look and think
Now we have three pictures about sayings. Let’s look at them. What is each picture about? Discuss with your deskmate.
Step3: Read and think (Matching)
①Read the three sayings aloud first. Then match each saying with its meaning. Finish it by yourself first, then check with your group.
②Read aloud, do the matching, and check in groups.
Step4: Read and choose
①Here are three situations. Read them carefully and choose the proper saying to respond. Let’s do Situation 1 together first, then you finish the other two.
②Follow the teacher, then finish the rest and share answers.
Step5: Brainstorm
①We know these sayings about learning.
②What other Chinese sayings about learning do you know? Share their English meanings with your group.
e.g., “With time and effort, even an iron pestle can be ground down to a needle.”
Step6: Listen and think (Conversation)
①Millie and her classmates are talking about the most important thing for successful learning.
②Listen to the conversation (or read it together). Then answer: What do the students think is important?
Step7: Think and share (Group discussion)
①Work in groups of 4. Talk about the most important thing for successful learning, using the conversation as a model. One student writes down the key points.
②Discuss and share their group’s ideas in front of the class.
Pair - work Discussion (15 minutes)
Present the topic on the PPT: "What do you think are the most important factors for successful learning?" Provide some example factors, such as "a strong drive to learn", "a good teacher to guide you", "good learning skills", "a proper learning plan", etc.
Let students work in pairs to discuss. One student starts with "For me, one thing is...", and the other responds with "I agree/I don't agree. Because...". Walk around the classroom to listen to their discussions and offer help if necessary.
After about 10 minutes, ask several pairs to come to the front of the class and share their discussions. The rest of the students listen and can ask questions or give their own opinions.
5. Summary (5 minutes)
Summarize the key points of this class, including the Chinese sayings, new words, and the discussion about learning factors.

IV. Teaching procedures
Step1:Warming-up
1. Greet students and ask: "Do you know any great people in history? What did they do?"
2. Show a picture of Benjamin Franklin and introduce him briefly: "Today we’ll learn about a great man—Benjamin Franklin. He was an inventor, a writer, a scientist, and one of the Founding Fathers of the US. Let’s find out more about him."
Step2: Pre-reading
Vocabulary Teaching
Write some new words and phrases on the blackboard, such as "inventor", "curious", "set... apart", "in order to", etc. Explain their meanings, pronunciations, and usages with examples. For example, for "curious", say "The little boy is very curious about everything around him. He always asks a lot of questions."
Let students read the words and phrases after the teacher several times, and then have a quick review by randomly pointing to the words and asking students to read them out and give a short explanation.
Prediction
Show the title of the reading passage "A Love of Learning" and the picture related to Franklin in the textbook. Ask students to predict what the passage might be about. Guide them to think from aspects like who the main character is, what his learning experiences are, and what his attitude towards learning is. Let them share their predictions in pairs and then invite some pairs to report to the class.
Step3: While-reading
1. Fast reading: Ask students to read the text quickly and check their predictions about the paragraph headings. Then fill in the blanks of the headings (e.g., (1) introduction, (2) learning).
2. Careful reading: Ask students to read Paragraph 2-4 carefully and answer questions:
①How did Franklin teach himself?
②What did he study about storms?
③What inventions did he make?"
3.Ask students to read the passage quickly within 2 - 3 minutes and find out the main idea of each paragraph. Then match the paragraphs with the corresponding headings on the blackboard. The headings could be: "Franklin's Introduction", "Franklin's Early Love for Learning", "Franklin's Research on Storms", "Franklin's Inventions", "Franklin's Contribution to the World".
Check the answers with the class and briefly explain how to get the main idea of each paragraph, for example, the first paragraph usually gives an overall introduction of the person, so it can be matched with "Franklin's Introduction".
Step4: Post-reading
1. Group discussion: Divide students into groups of 4. Ask:
①How could Franklin be a lifelong learner?
②What qualities does he have?
2.List 2-3 qualities and find evidence from the text." After 5 mins, each group shares.
3. Language practice: Ask students to complete the sentence:
From Franklin, I learn that ___________. I will ___________ in my study.
Step5: Summary
Invite a student to retell the text briefly with the help of the PPT (key points: Franklin’s identity, how he learned, what he studied, his inventions). The teacher supplements and emphasizes the key points.
Step6 Homework
1.Find out more qualities of Franklin and write 2-3 sentences.

For adverbs of time, write a timeline on the blackboard and mark different time points, then use sentences with time adverbs to describe events at those points.
Explain the formation rules of adverbs. Write some adjectives on the left - hand side of the blackboard and their corresponding adverbs on the right - hand side, and let students observe the patterns.
Reflexive Pronouns
Introduction: Write the sentence "I saw myself in the mirror." on the blackboard. Circle the word "myself" and explain that this is a reflexive pronoun. When the subject and the object of a verb are the same person or thing, we use a reflexive pronoun.
Forms: List all the forms of reflexive pronouns on the blackboard, and read them aloud with students several times to help them remember.
Usage Examples: Give more examples of using reflexive pronouns, such as "He taught himself English." and "We should believe in ourselves." Explain the different usages, including for self - action and emphasis.

Adverbs Exercises
Hand out a worksheet with sentences that require students to fill in the blanks with the correct form of adverbs. For example:
He runs ______ (fast).
She speaks English ______ (fluent).
They arrived at school ______ (late) this morning.
Let students work individually first, and then check the answers together in class.
Explain the reasons for each answer, especially for the conversion from adjectives to
adverbs.

Greet the students as usual.
Show some pictures of students studying in different ways, such as studying alone, studying in groups, using flashcards, etc. Then ask students: “What do you think of these learning methods? Which one do you usually use?” Encourage students to share their opinions briefly. This activity aims to arouse students' interest in the topic of learning methods and lead in to the further study of this class.
2. Presentation (12 minutes)
Vocabulary teaching:
Write the new vocabulary words on the blackboard. Explain the meaning, pronunciation, and usage of each word one by one. For example, when teaching “preview”, show a sentence like “I always preview the textbook before the new lesson starts.” and explain that “preview” means to look at or study something before it is formally presented or taught. Use some simple actions or examples to help students understand, like pretending to look through a book quickly before class.
Let students read the words after the teacher several times to practice pronunciation. Then ask students to make their own sentences using these new words and share them with the class.
Sentence pattern teaching:
Present the key sentence patterns on the PPT. Analyze the structure and meaning of each pattern. For the pattern “It is essential to do sth.”, explain that it is used to emphasize the importance of a certain action. Give an example: “It is essential to have a good rest before an exam.”
Ask students to imitate the sentence patterns to make their own sentences. Walk around the classroom to check students' work and offer help if necessary.
3. Practice (15 minutes)
Listening practice:
Play a short passage about a student's learning experience on the recorder. The passage should contain some of the new vocabulary and sentence patterns just taught. Before playing, give students some questions to listen for, such as “What learning methods did the student use?”, “What difficulties did he/she meet and how did he/she solve them?”
After playing the passage once, let students answer the questions in pairs. Then play the passage again for students to check and correct their answers.
Speaking practice:
Divide students into groups of four. Give each group a topic related to learning, such as “The best way to learn English grammar” or “How to improve your math problem - solving ability”. Ask each group to discuss the topic using the new vocabulary and sentence patterns. Each group member should express their opinions and suggestions.
Select several groups to present their discussion results to the whole class. Encourage other students to ask questions or give comments.
4. Production (10 minutes)
Writing practice:
Ask students to write a short passage about their own learning experiences or a learning plan. They should use at least three new vocabulary words and two new sentence patterns in their writing. Provide some guiding questions on the PPT, such as “What subject do you find most difficult to learn?”, “What methods have you tried?”, “What is your plan to improve your learning in this subject?”
Give students about 8 minutes to write. Then ask them to exchange their writings with their partners for peer - review. Partners should check for grammar mistakes, spelling mistakes, and whether the new vocabulary and sentence patterns are correctly used. Finally, students can make revisions based on their partners' suggestions.
5. Summary and Homework (3 minutes)
Summarize the key points of this class with students, including the new vocabulary, sentence patterns, and learning strategies. Ask students to recall what they have learned in this class.
Ask students to write a more detailed learning plan for the coming week, including their daily study schedule, learning goals, and the learning methods they will use. They should also write a short reflection on what they hope to achieve through this plan.

IV. Teaching procedures
A. Warming - up (5 minutes)
Show some pictures on the PPT, such as students reading books, taking notes in class, and discussing problems in groups. Then ask students: "What are these students doing? Do you think they are good learners? Why or why not?" Encourage students to share their initial thoughts briefly. This activity aims to arouse students' interest in the topic and activate their prior knowledge related to learning.
B. New Knowledge Presentation (12 minutes)
Vocabulary Teaching
Present the new words one by one on the PPT. For each word, show its pronunciation, meaning, and example sentences.
Use flashcards to play a word - guessing game. The teacher shows a flashcard with a word on it, and students try to guess the meaning by using body language or giving definitions. This can help students better remember the words.
Sentence Pattern Teaching
Write the sentence pattern "It is + adj. + to do sth." on the blackboard. Explain its meaning and usage.
Ask students to make their own sentences using this pattern. Invite several students to share their sentences with the class and correct them if there are any mistakes.
C. Reading Comprehension (15 minutes)
Pre - reading
Show the title and the picture of the reading passage on the PPT. Let students predict what the passage might be about. For example, if the title is "Good Learning Habits", students may predict that it will talk about what good learning habits are and how to develop them.
First, let students skim the passage quickly to get the main idea. Then ask them to answer a general question like "What is the passage mainly about?"
Next, ask students to read the passage carefully and answer some detailed questions on the PPT. These questions can be about specific facts, reasons, or examples in the passage.
After that, divide students into groups of four. Let them discuss the difficult sentences or points in the passage. The teacher walks around the classroom to offer help and guidance.
Post - reading
Select some students to summarize the passage in their own words. The teacher gives feedback and makes sure the summary is accurate and concise.
Organize a group discussion: "Which learning habit do you think is the most important for you? Why?" Each group chooses a representative to share their group's opinion with the whole class.
D. Listening (8 minutes)
Introduce the listening material, which is usually a dialogue or a short passage about learning. Let students look at the pictures or the questions related to the listening material on the PPT first. This can help them get some clues about what they are going to listen to.
Play the recording for the first time. Let students just listen and get a general idea of the content.
Play the recording for the second time. Ask students to listen carefully and answer the questions on the PPT. The questions can be multiple - choice, fill - in - the - blanks, or short - answer questions.
