information.
2. give additional suggestions for overcoming the challenges discussed.
3. apply pre-listening strategies by identifying and circling key points.
4. share personal experiences about activity-related challenges and solutions.
二、Teaching Advice
Lead-in
Free Talk
· What is your favourite free-time activity?
· Have you ever tried an activity that was difficult?What made it hard for you?
Pre-listening
2a
1. Show students the two photos in 2a and ask the questions:
· What are the two students doing?
· What are the challenges of doing these two activities?
2. Let students discuss in pairs and share their answers. The teacher can give some prompts to
help students answer the second question.
While-listening
2b
1. Remind students to focus on accurate information during listening,as some options are
incorrect.
2. Have students listen to a conversation between Fu Xing and Emma,and tick the things
they talk about.
3.Check the answers with the students.
Answer the Questions
Play the audio again and let students answer the questions.
· What activity did Emma do last weekend?
· Did Emma do it well?
· What did Emma want to do?
· What did Emma's instructor and Fu Xing say to her?
· Why did Fu Xing tell Emma her story about learning swimming?
2c
1. Read the sentences with the students and have them circle the clue words around each blank.
2.Guide students to predict possible answers based on grammar and the context.
3. Remind students:During listening,the audio may rephrase the circled words(E.g. the
text says “go to. ”, but the audio says “visit the ...”). The answer usually comes after
these clue words.
4. Have students listen again and complete the sentences. Tell them to write down the first few letters for long words or sentences during listening,and complete later.
Post-listening
Further Thinking
· How does Fu Xing encourage Emma in the conversation?
1. She uses positive sayings like“Nobody expects you to be perfect from the start.”and
“Everything's difficult before it's easy."
2. She shares her own story of learning swimming.
· If you were Fu Xing,how would you encourage Emma not to give up?
Teaching Tip: The teacher can summarize the thematic meaning of this conversation:
Every fall is a step closer to flying.
2d
1. Have students recall challenges they faced when they first tried their favourite free-tim
activities and how they got over them.
2. Let students share their experiences with a partner.
Summary
Ask students to summarize how to talk about a holiday experience.
Homework
Finish the related exercises in the books produced by Youyi.
Blackboard Design
Write the language points and useful expressions on the blackboard.
Teaching Reflection
The lesson was engaging, with students actively discussing challenges in free-time activities and practising listening strategies. However, some found the spot dictation task challenging,so I'll incorporate more guided practice in future lessons. Overall,the objectives were met, but adjustments were needed for smoother listening exercises.
