What does Chen Jie mean by “keep in mind what he remembers”?
In your opinion, why are happy memories important?
It means we should pay more attention to the happy things the old people can still recall instead of feeling sad about the things they have lost.
Happy memories bring warmth and comfort to the elderly. They can make them feel loved and peaceful even if their memory is getting worse.
Cherish the warm memories with our family and accompany the elderly with love.关注家人的温暖回忆、用爱陪伴长辈
Listen to the conversation and pay attention to how emotions are expressed by stressing key words. Then role-play the conversation.

Unit 2 Home Sweet Home
1b 阅读课文:Going Home for the Spring Festival
“It’s almost the Spring Festival. Can we go to Hainan for the holiday, Dad?”
“Not this time,” Dad answered with a smile. “We’re going to your mum’s hometown!”
Soon the day of our family trip came. We got up very early in the morning to catch the train. The train journey took more than five hours, and then we changed to a bus to get to my grandparents’village in the afternoon. At the end of the road, I saw Grandpa and my little cousin standing in the cold wind waiting for us. We walked quickly to greet them. Grandpa helped us pull the heavy luggage into the house.
“Ah, home again!” said Mum with a smile on her face. Grandma, my aunt, and my uncle were busy cooking dinner in the kitchen. They were very happy to see us. After a little while, my parents went to the kitchen to help. “Could you bring Wenwen her favourite snacks?” Grandma asked Grandpa.
I shared the snacks with my cousin and told Grandpa about school. He was happy to hear I was doing well at school. When dinner was ready, I asked, “Can I help?”
“You can set the table,” Dad said.
We then enjoyed all the delicious food. “Mm, the familiar taste of home!” said Mum. During the dinner, my uncle told us some jokes and we had a good laugh.
Several days later when we were leaving, Grandma held my hands and asked us, “Will you come home more often?” Mum nodded, with tears in her eyes.
Going Home for the Spring Festival
Last Spring Festival, we went to my mum’s hometown to visit my grandparents.
When we got there, my grandpa and little cousin were standing in the cold wind waiting for us.My grandma and other relatives were busy cooking dinner in the kitchen. The warm smell of food filled the house. I shared snacks with my cousin and talked with my grandpa about my school life. After dinner was ready, I helped set the table. We enjoyed the tasty food and laughed happily when my uncle told funny jokes.
I still remember the cold wind outside, the warm smell of home cooking and the joyful sounds of my family’s laughter. Home always gives me the warmest and sweetest feeling.
