Step3 Presentation and practice

1.Just now, you could classify the words that used in the past and the present. Which one do you prefer? That means which one do you like better, life in the past or life today?

 

You can answer the question in this way: I think life in the past was…Life today is…

 

2. Someone likes the life today, but someone doesn’t. No matter whether we like it or not, we will grow up! Look, this is Mike’s family photo. But what were they like when they were young? What could they do? What couldn’t they do? Let’s take a look.

7. Writing time

Twenty-four years ago, I was twelve years old. I was short and thin. I was a student. I could ride a bike. I went to school from Monday to Saturday. I walked to school every day. There was no computer in my classroom. I didn’t study English. I had lunch at home. I often watched cartoons and played with my friends on Sunday.

Now, I am a teacher. I was tall. I go to work by car from Monday to Friday. I can use the computer to teach English. I have a lovely daughter. I often go to the park with my family at the weekends. Sometimes I watch films and do shopping on the Internet.
