Welcome Remarks

Good morning, everyone! We have explored so many hobbies: rock music and the erhu, bird-watching, and Emma's writing. Today is your chance to create something real: a plan for a new school club about your favourite hobby. You will introduce the club, explain why it is great, and invite everyone to join. Then we will vote for the best clubs and reflect on the whole unit. Let's get creative!

Designing a club is like giving a little speech. You need a clear beginning that tells us your club's name and purpose, a middle that explains why the club is wonderful, and a warm ending that invites us to join. You have learned all the language you need: hobby words, the simple present tense, and the benefits of hobbies. Today, let your imagination fly, and build a club you would truly love to join.

Ⅰ. Lead-in - Task review

First, let's review what we learned. Hobbies bring us fun, knowledge and friends. Now, our task: make a plan for a school club. Find classmates who share your hobby, and design a club. Think about four things: the name of the club, the benefits, what you will do, and where and when you will meet. Let's read the outline. Introduction: "Let me introduce a new club. The name is... It is about..." Body: benefits and how it works. Closing: "Come and join us!" Now, which hobby club would you like? Yes, you, please!

Students: "I want a reading club, so we can share books!"

Teacher: "A reading club sounds wonderful! Who wants a sports or music club? Yes, you!"

Students: "I want a music club to play the guitar with friends!"

Teacher: "Great ideas! Let's build these clubs together."

Ⅱ. Preparation - Group work

Now, work in groups that share a hobby. Discuss your club plan. Name your club, list its benefits, decide your activities, and choose where and when to meet. Use the tips: "There are many benefits. First, it gives us knowledge about...; second, there is so much fun in it; third, we make friends and share the joy of..." and "Let's meet every... at... o'clock in...". You are five minutes. Go!

(The teacher walks around helping each group.)

Teacher: "Group One, what is your club's name?"

Student: "Our club is called the Happy Reading Club. We meet every Wednesday afternoon in the library."

Teacher: "Lovely name! What benefits will you explain?"

Student: "First, reading gives us knowledge. Second, it is so much fun. Third, we make friends and share the joy of books."

Teacher: "Perfectly structured benefits! Keep going, everyone."

Ⅲ. Presentation - Show your clubs

Time's up! Each group, please present your club plan. Speak clearly and invite us to join. Class, listen and be ready to vote. Let's welcome Group One!

Group One: "Hello! Let me introduce the Happy Reading Club. It is about reading and sharing books. There are twelve members. First, reading gives us knowledge. Second, there is so much fun in it. Third, we make friends and share the joy of books. We meet every Wednesday afternoon in the library. Come and join us!"

Teacher: "What a clear and inviting presentation! You used first, second and third beautifully, and the ending invitation was warm. I want to join! Now Group Two, a music club, please!"

Group Two: "Our club is the Rock and Erhu Club. We play music together. It gives us the joy of music, it is so much fun, and we make music friends. We meet every Friday in the music room. Come and join us!"

Teacher: "Fantastic! You even connected rock music and the erhu from our reading. That is creative! Now, Group Three, please give us your club plan!"

Group Three: "Our club is the Happy Sports Club. We play basketball and badminton after school. First, sports keep us strong and healthy. Second, there is so much fun playing with friends. Third, we learn teamwork. We meet every Tuesday and Thursday on the playground. Come and join us, and let's enjoy sports together!"

Teacher: "What an energetic presentation! You described benefits clearly, gave a clear meeting time, and ended with a warm invitation. Your use of 'we meet' and 'we play' in the simple present is perfect. Now let's vote for the best three clubs and presentations. Raise your hands! ... Great, the winners are announced. Well done to every group!"

Ⅳ. Reflection - What hobbies bring us

Now let's reflect on the whole unit. Look at the chart: Benefits of having hobbies. "They bring us fun. They give us ___. They help us ___." What can we fill in? Yes, you, please!

Students: "They give us knowledge. They help us make friends!"

Teacher: "Perfect! Hobbies bring fun, give us knowledge, and help us make friends. Now tick the can-do boxes: I can talk about hobbies. I can use the simple present to
