It is recognized as the new year for the Dai people. 云南西双版纳的泼水节通常在四月中旬，持续三天，被视为傣族新年。②The Tomb-sweeping Day is the most important festival to sweep the tombs and honour our ancestors in China. It falls on the 4th or 5th of April every year. 清明节是中国扫墓祭祖最重要的节日，在每年四月四日或五日。③The Nadam Fair is held every summer, mainly in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Nadam means "games" or "entertainment" in Mongolian. Wrestling, horse racing and archery are necessary parts of the Nadam activities. 那达慕每年夏天举行，主要在内蒙古和新疆，蒙古语意为「游戏／娱乐」，摔跤、赛马、射箭是必有项目。 Look at the picture and answer the questions. 拓展世界节日：What festivals or holidays around the world do you know? — I know Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving and so on. Which one do you think is the most special? Why? — Halloween is the most special one. It is on October 31st. Kids wear special costumes, like ghosts or superheroes. They go from house to house and say "trick or treat" to get candies. 【知识点】 ▶三节日关键词：泼水节（傣族新年、四月中旬、泼水互祝）、清明节（扫墓祭祖、四月四或五日、honour our ancestors）、那达慕（蒙古语「游戏娱乐」、摔跤 wrestling／赛马 horse racing／射箭 archery）。 【提示框】 节日名首字母永远大写：the Water-splashing Festival、Tomb-sweeping Day、the Nadam Fair——考试写错要扣分。 （三）读前观察与预测 Look at the picture and answer the questions. 看图回答：What are the people doing? — They are having a dinner together and enjoying family reunion in the Spring Festival. What is on the table? — There are many dishes like fish and vegetables on the table. Look at the title and pictures. Make a prediction about the passage. 读前预测：What does the writer do during the Spring Festival? — She talks to her family on the phone and cooks a Chinese dinner to treat her British friend. 【提示框】 预测不是瞎猜：把「谁＋在哪＋做什么」说完整，读的时候验证自己的猜测，理解效率翻倍。 （四）篇章结构划分 【过渡语】预测是否有理？通读课文，先看故事分成几幕。 How many parts can this passage be divided into? 通读课文划分结构：The writer's problem 作者的难题（paras.1-2）→ The writer's solution 解决办法（para.3）→ The result 结果（paras.4-8）。 Choose the best ending of the passage. 选择最佳结尾：a. I don't like having the Spring Festival all by myself. b. I miss my family so much. c. It's really an unusual but happy Spring Festival. — 最佳结尾为 c。 【知识点】 ▶记叙文三段式结构：problem（问题）→ solution（解决）→ result（结果），结尾句要能收束全文并点明情感——c 项「unusual but happy」正好呼应标题与全文情感线。 【提示框】 选结尾句三步走：先排除与文意矛盾的，再排除只讲一部分的，最后看哪个把「不寻常」和「开心」都点到。 （五）精读 Part 1 · 作者的难题 Read Part 1 (paras.1-2) and complete the table. 细读第一部分补全表格：Who—writer 与英国朋友 Emilia；Where—in the UK 在英国；When—the Spring Festival 春节期间；Why—wants to treat Emilia to a Chinese dinner 想请 Emilia 吃中餐；What—wants a Chinese dinner, but cooking is too hard 想做中餐但太难；How (feeling)—helpless 无助，"wish to have four hands" 恨不得长出四只手。 【知识点】 ▶treat sb to sth 请某人吃／招待某人吃某物：treat Emilia to a Chinese dinner 请 Emilia 吃中餐；treat yourself to a film 犒劳自己看场电影。 【提示框】 5W1H 表格六格一个都不能空：Who/Where/When 是骨架，Why/What/How 是血肉——先用原文原词填，再浓缩。 Part 1 五要素表格页 （六）精读 Part 2 · 全家的帮助 Read Part 2 (para.3) and complete the table. 细读第二部分补全表格：Setting—midnight in China, time for dumplings 中国正值午夜、是吃饺子的时间；Helpers—whole family, on the phone 全家人在电话里帮忙；Method—teach step by step 手把手教，she even makes cucumber flowers 甚至做出了黄瓜花；Result—晚餐逐渐成形，作者从无助到有了信心。 【知识点】 ▶step by step 一步一步地、循序渐进地：My family teach me step by step. 全家一步步教我；类似结构：day by day 一天天地、one by one 一个接一个。 （七）精读 Part 3 · 狮子头与团圆 Read Part 3 (paras.4-8) and complete the table. 细读第三部分补全表格：Setting—balloons and lanterns; the last dish—"lion's head" 气球灯笼下端上最后一道菜「狮子头」；Conflict—Emilia is shocked Emilia 吃了一惊；Explanation—pork meatball; family Spring Festival food; round shape stands for reunion 狮子头是猪肉丸子、家里春节必吃、圆形象征团圆；Resolution—Emilia tries it and loves it 尝后爱上；Atmosphere—smell of dishes and laughing fill the room 菜香和笑声充满房间；Effect—writer feels back home 作者感觉回到了家。 【知识点】 ▶"lion's head" 狮子头＝a pork meatball 猪肉丸子，是家庭春节菜；round shape（圆的形象征团圆 reunion）——中国菜名的文化含义是本文情感落点。 ▶stand for 代表、象征：Its round shape stands for family reunions. 它圆圆的外形象征阖家团圆。 （八）图表复述与思维提升 Complete the chart with the words and expressions from the passage. 用课文词句补全图表：①the Spring Festival ②Chinese dinner ③whole family ④dish ⑤shocked ⑥back home。即：Today is the Spring Festival. I want to cook a Chinese dinner for Emilia. At midnight in China, my whole family come to help me on the phone. I show the last dish to Emilia. She is shocked at the name of the dish, but she likes its taste. We enjoy the dinner and laugh. I feel like I am back home. Think and share. 深度思考：①What is unusual about the writer's Spring Festival? — It is the first time for her to celebrate the Spring Festival in a foreign country and she learns to cook her family's traditional dishes for the first time.（思维方式：先想常规庆祝方式 What's the common way，再对比作者的独特方式 How does the writer celebrate）②What is your family's traditional dish for the Spring Festival? Can you cook it?（开放讨论） Summarise what you have learnt today. 串线总结：The writer's problem—in the UK; want to cook a Chinese dinner → The writer's solution—the whole family come to help; even make some cucumber flowers → The result—is shocked at...; enjoy the dinner。 故事线图表填空页 （九）语言点一 · watch 的两种搭配 【过渡语】故事里有句话值得细品——我常看奶奶做饭。 学习 watch sb./sth. do sth：At home, I often watch Grandma cook. 在家时，我经常看奶奶做饭。watch sb./sth. do sth 观看某人/某物做某事，强调看到动作发生的完整全过程，也可描述经常性、习惯性的动作，例：I watched the sun set behind the mountains. 我看着太阳落至山后。 对比 watch sb./sth. doing sth：观看某人/某物正在做某事，强调看到正在进行中的动作片段，例：When I passed by, I watched her dancing in the studio. 我路过时，看见她正在工作室里跳舞。 【知识点】 ▶watch sb do sth＝看到全过程／习惯性动作（do 为省 to 的不定式）；watch sb doing sth＝看到正在进行的片段（doing 强调进行中）。 ▶同类感官动词还有 see／hear／notice，用法一致：see him cross the road（全过程）／see him crossing the road（正在过）。 【提示框】 判断口诀：句中常有 often／every day 用 do；句中有 when I passed by／look! 用 doing——先找时间标志词再选形式。 （十）语言点二 · whole 与 all 【过渡语】全家总动员——「全家」用 whole 还是 all？一表分清。 学习 whole /həʊl/ adj. 全部的，整个的：My whole family came to my help on the phone. 我全家人都在电话里帮我。 whole 与 all 辨析：whole 意为「全部的，整个的」，放在冠词、物主代词等限定词之后，结构为「限定词 + whole + 单数可数名词」，例：I spent the whole morning cleaning my room. 我花了一整个上午打扫房间。all 意为「所有的，全部的」，放在定冠词 the、物主代词等限定词之前，结构为「all + 限定词 + 名词（可数复数/不可数）」，例：All the girls in our class can dance well. 我们班所有女生都很会跳舞。 【知识点】 ▶位置口诀：whole 在限定词「后」（my whole family／the whole morning），all 在限定词「前」（all the girls／all my friends）。 ▶whole 接单数可数名词；all 接复数或不可数名词。 【提示框】 一句话记牢：all the class 与 the whole class 都对，但 my whole family 不能说成 my all family——位置错了整句错。 whole 与 all 辨析页 （十一）随堂检测 限时独立完成随堂检测（课文词汇与语言点），完成后同桌互批，逐题核对订正。 一、1. unusual　2. realize　3. laugh　4. pieces　5. smell　6. pork；二、1. treat her to　2. wish to have　3.
