教学重点

通过谈论兴趣与爱好训练学生读、写能力，掌握使用简单句表达兴趣爱好以及对兴趣爱好的简单评析。

Step 1 Guessing Game

1. Show part of many pictures of different kind of hobbies and ask the Ss to guess what hobby it is.

2. While guessing, make simple comment on each hobby, like:

I like mountain biking because it is exciting.

I like painting because it is creative. You can draw everything you imagine in your mind

I like growing flowers and vegetables because it can bring me enjoyment and success.

I love singing very much, as a result, I know many professional singers such as Liu Huan, Michael Jackson.

Many teenagers like reading. Because they think it is useful and relaxing.

Many people like playing volleyball because they think this activity can develop their skills

I don’t like sailing because I am not a good swimmer and I don’t have good swimming skills.

设计意图：利用学生所喜爱的猜测游戏，将学生导入篇章学习，激发学生对篇章的喜爱，同时对不同的兴趣爱好作简单评述，将生词教学放入适当语境之中，训练学生对生词的猜测技能，也为后续的篇章教学扫除词汇障碍。

Step 2 Talk abut the hobbies

1. Work in pairs, talk about the pictures.

   A: What hobbies can you see in picture …?

   A: How do you think of the hobbies?

B: I think … is creative/ relaxing/ useful…

   A: Is it a usual activity in the school?

   B: Yes, it is also a usual activity on a summer camp.

设计意图：通过半控制性的两人小组活动，进一步让学生操练对不同的兴趣爱好的评价，同时对生词时行必要的巩固。

Step 3 Scanning and skimming

1. Get the Ss to read the passage as quickly as possible.

2. Find out:

Whose is the special hobby?

2. Read the passage by themselves. And ask to finish the true or false exercises.

  Maybe I’ll write more books in the future, but I’m not sure

Step6 Reading for further comprehension

2. Discuss the following questions in groups.

   What should we learn from David’s attitude towards his hobby?

   Why do people usually have hobbies?

Step7Writing

1. What’s your hobby ?/What are your hobbies? What’s your favourite hobby?

2. When did you start it? Why were you interested it?  How long have you spent on it?

 3.What can it bring to you?

Homework  

Level A: Write a short passage. Introduce your own hobby and what it has brought to your life.

Level B:Make 5 sentences about your hobby.

设计意图：最后过渡到自己的爱好,先让学生写,再小组讨论,交换修改，让学生抒发对爱好的不同感想，引导学生理性地对待个人的兴趣爱好。But I will always remember that it’s unwise to spend too much time playing. I will spend time on both hobbies and studies. 作业做到分层,利于激发学生的学习积极性.
