Let's get started! ‹#› 目录 Warming-up Vocabulary & Key Phrases Target Language Listening Practice Speaking Practice Grammar Focus Today's Highlights Interactive Speaking Activities Real-life Listening Materials Practical Grammar Application Homework for Reinforcement 1.7.2013 Here's what we have in store for today. We'll start with a quick warming-up activity, then move on to learning new vocabulary and key phrases. After that, we'll practice the target language through listening and speaking exercises. We'll also focus on some important grammar points. Finally, we'll wrap up with a summary and assign homework. ‹#› Warming-up What do you usually do in your free time? 1.7.2013 To start things off, let's think about our own free time. Look at these pictures. They show different activities people do to relax. Now, I want you to ask yourself: What do I usually do in my free time? Take a moment to think, and then we'll share some ideas. ‹#› Lead-in A: I like to read books in my free time. What about you? B:_________________________ 1.7.2013 Great! Now, let's see how we can talk about our free time in English. Here's a simple example. Person A says, "I like to read books in my free time. What about you?" This is a great way to start a conversation. Now, who can tell me how they would respond? ‹#› Vocabulary: Free-time Activities playing the flute doing calligraphy skiing hiking painting programming 1.7.2013 Now, let's learn some new words related to free-time activities.

I spend two hours reading every day. like (v.) She likes to play the piano. love (v.) He loves hiking in the mountains. enjoy (v.) They enjoy watching movies. 1.7.2013 Next, let's look at some common verbs we use when talking about our hobbies. Spend, like, love, enjoy. Notice how they are followed by different structures. For example, "I spend time doing something," or "I like to do something." Let's read the examples together. ‹#› Key Phrases spend free time (in) doing sth. I spend my free time (in) listening to music. like/love to do sth.

Let's go through them one by one. "Spend free time (in) doing something," "like or love to do something," and "in one's free time." These phrases are very useful in daily conversations. ‹#› Target Language: Asking about Activities A:What do you do in your free time? B:I like to... / I love to... / I enjoy... Practice the dialogue with your partner! 1.7.2013 Now, let's focus on the target language for asking about someone's free-time activities. The most common question is "What do you do in your free time?" And the response usually starts with "I like to...", "I love to...", or "I enjoy...". Let's practice this dialogue. ‹#› Target Language: Talking about Purposes Asking for Purpose Why do you do it? Stating the Purpose I do it to... Examples:I do it to relax. / I do it to get some exercise. 1.7.2013 Once you know what someone does in their free time, you might want to ask why. You can use the question "Why do you do it?" The answer typically uses "I do it to..." followed by the purpose. For example, "I do it to relax." or "I do it to get some exercise." ‹#› Listening 1a Match the activities with the pictures. 1.7.2013 Now, let's move on to our first listening practice. Look at the pictures in your book (or on the screen). We're going to listen to some conversations and match the activities with the correct pictures. Ready? ‹#› Listening 1b Listen and number the names (1-5). Sarahhas a cold. Davidhas a stomachache. Benhas a sore back. Nancyhas a toothache. Judyhas a sore throat. 1.7.2013 Great job!

For our final listening task in this section, we're going to listen to three interviews. As you listen, match each person's activity with their purpose for doing it. Let's begin. ‹#› Speaking 1d A: What do you do in your free time? B: I like to... A: Why do you do it? B: I do it to... 1.7.2013 Now it's your turn to practice speaking! Find a partner and use the dialogue template on the screen to talk about your own free-time activities and the reasons why you do them. I'll walk around to help if you need it. ‹#› New Words & Phrases scare (v.)- to make someone feel afraid perfect (adj.)- having no mistakes encourage (v.)- to give someone hope or confidence challenge (n.)- something difficult that tests your ability be scared of expect to do encourage sb. to do / get over fear 1.7.2013 Let's learn some new words and phrases that will help us talk about challenges and overcoming fears.

Conversation 1:Girl has a fever. Conversation 2:Girl has a cough and sore throat. Conversation 3:Boy has a stomachache. Conversation 4:Boy has a toothache. Conversation 5:Girl cut herself. 1.7.2013 We're going to do another listening exercise. This time, we have five pictures. Listen to the conversations and number the pictures in the order you hear them. Let's start. ‹#› Listening 2b Listen again and fill in the blanks. Fu Xing:Hi Emma, how was your weekend? Emma:It was OK, but now I hurt all over! Fu Xing:How come? Emma:I tried ice skating and fell many times. I don't want to go again. Fu Xing:Don't give up! Everything's difficult before it's easy. Like swimming. Emma:Really? You used to be scared of water? Fu Xing:Yes. I started to get over my fear and now I love it! Emma:You're right. I'll try ice skating again! 1.7.2013 Now, let's listen to a conversation between Fu Xing and Emma. As you listen, fill in the blanks with the words you hear. This will help you practice listening for specific information. ‹#› Listening 2c Listen again and match the sentences. Interview 1:Teng Fei likes programming to create an app and hiking for exercise. Interview 2:Helen loves painting to express her feelings. Interview 3:Chen Jie likes to play the flute to relax. 1.7.2013 For our last listening task, we're going to listen to the same interviews as before. This time, match the sentences on the left with the ones on the right. This will test your understanding of the relationships between ideas. ‹#› Speaking 2d A: How was it when you did... for the first time? B: I was scared at first, but... A: What helped you get over the fear? 1.7.2013 Let's practice speaking about our first experiences. Think about something you did for the first time, like riding a bike or swimming. Use the dialogue template to talk to your partner about how you felt and how you overcame any fears. ‹#› Grammar Focus: Infinitive as Object Common Verbs want, hope, decide, learn, plan, try, etc. Examples I wantto learnEnglish well. She hopesto travelaround the world. They decidedto gohome early. 1.7.2013 Now, let's focus on grammar. Today, we're going to learn about the infinitive as an object. This means using "to + verb" after certain verbs. Some common verbs that take the infinitive are want, hope, decide, learn, plan, and try. Let's look at the examples. ‹#› Grammar Focus: "Wh-words + Infinitive" Common Wh-words: what how where when which who whom Examples: I don't knowwhat to do. She taught mehow to swim. He is thinking aboutwhere to go. 1.7.2013 Another useful structure is "wh-words + infinitive". We use this when we're talking about something we need to decide or figure out. Common wh-words include what, how, where, when, which, who, and whom. Let's see how they are used in sentences. ‹#› Grammar Focus: It as Formal Object Structure 结构 主语 + find/think/feel/make + it + adj. + to do sth. Examples 例句 I finditeasy to learn English. She thinksitimportant to read more books. He madeitpossible to finish the work on time. 1.7.2013 Our final grammar point for today is using "it" as a formal object. This is a common structure to make sentences sound more natural. The pattern is: subject + find/think/feel/make + it + adjective + to do something. Let's look at the examples to understand better. ‹#› Grammar Practice 用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空。 I want ______ (go) home. She hopes ______ (see) you soon. He decided ______ (study) hard. They plan ______ (travel) to Beijing. I don't know how ______ (do) it. 1.7.2013 Now, let's practice what we've learned. Here are some exercises. Please fill in the blanks with the correct form of the verbs in brackets. I'll give you a few minutes to complete them, and then we'll check the answers together. ‹#› Reading 3a Conversation Peter:Hey Yaming! What are you up to? Yaming:Hi Peter. I'm doing calligraphy. Peter:It's beautiful! What are you writing? Yaming:A poem by Li Bai. My grandmother taught me. Peter:It looks difficult, but I like it. Can you teach me? Yaming:Sure! And you can teach me guitar in return! Comprehension Questions What is Yaming doing? What is he writing? Who taught him calligraphy? It's a deal! They will teach each other! 1.7.2013 Let's read a short conversation between Peter and Yaming. As you read, try to answer the questions on the screen. This will help you practice reading comprehension. ‹#› Reading 3b Underline the sentences from the reading that mean the same thing. Neither of us did any housework for a week. My mom came over as soon as I sat down in front of the TV. You're tired, but I'm tired too. Tip: This is a good way to practice paraphrasing. 1.7.2013 Now, let's look at some sentences. Go back to the reading passage and find the sentences that have the same meaning. Underline them. This is a good way to practice paraphrasing. ‹#› Reading 3c Decide whether the underlined words in the sentences are verbs or nouns. Then write another sentence using the underlined word in the other form. 1. Could you take the dog for a walk? 2. Could I watch one show first? 3. You watch TV all the time and never help out around the house! 1.7.2013 For our last reading activity, we're going to look at word forms. Decide if the underlined words are verbs or nouns. Then, write a new sentence using the word as the other part of speech. For example, if it's a verb, use it as a noun, and vice versa. ‹#› Writing Practice My Free-time Activities Write 3-5 sentences. Use the vocabulary and sentence patterns you've learned. Explain why you like these activities. 1.7.2013 Now, let's practice writing. Write a short paragraph about your free-time activities. Use the vocabulary and sentence patterns we've learned today. Make sure to write 3-5 sentences and explain why you enjoy these activities. ‹#› Project 小组合作，设计一个调查表。 调查班级同学的休闲活动。 整理调查结果，制作一个图表。 向全班展示你们的调查结果。 1.7.2013 For our final project, you will work in groups. Your task is to design a survey about free-time activities, survey your classmates, organize the results into a chart, and then present your findings to the class. This is a great way to practice your English and teamwork skills. ‹#› Summary Vocabulary free-time activities, spend, like, love, enjoy, scare, perfect, encourage, challenge Sentence Patterns What do you do in your free time? / Why do you do it? / I do it to... Grammar Infinitive as object, "wh-words + infinitive", "it" as formal object. 1.7.2013 Let's quickly summarize what we've learned today. We covered vocabulary related to free-time activities, key phrases and sentence patterns for talking about hobbies and their purposes, and important grammar points like the infinitive as an object, "wh-words + infinitive", and "it" as a formal object. ‹#› Homework 背诵本节课所学的词汇和句型。 完成课本P4的练习。 写一篇关于你最喜欢的休闲活动的短文，至少80词。 准备下节课的项目展示。 1.7.2013 Here's your homework for today.
