新课教学 T: Good morning class! How are you today S: Good morning, teacher! We're fine, thank you. And you T: I'm great, thank you. Are you ready for an interesting English class S: Yes! Lead - in T: Okay, everyone. First, let's play a little guessing game. I will describe a person, and you try to guess who it is. This person is one of your classmates. They are tall, have short hair, and are very outgoing. They always laugh loudly in the classroom. Who could it be S: (Students start to guess, some may say different names) T: (After a few guesses) Yes, it's [student's name]. Now, let's think about how we described this classmate. We used words like "tall", "short hair", "outgoing", and "laugh loudly". These are all words that help us describe people. Today, we are going to learn more words to describe our friends and talk about the similarities and differences between us and our friends. Vocabulary Presentation T: Look at the screen. Here are some new words we are going to learn today. The first word is "similar". It is an adjective, pronounced as / s m l (r)/. It means having characteristics in common; alike, but not identical. For example, "The two pictures are similar in color." Can you repeat the sentence after me S: The two pictures are similar in color. T: Good. Now, who can give me another example using the word "similar" S: My bag is similar to my friend's bag. T: Very good! Next word, "similarity", / s m l r ti/. It is a noun, which means a state or fact of being similar. For example, "There are many similarities between the two stories." Repeat this sentence, please. S: There are many similarities between the two stories. T: Great. Now, let's compare "similar" and "similarity". "Similar" is an adjective, we use it to describe things. Like "similar books", "similar looks". While "similarity" is a noun, we use it to talk about the fact of being similar. For example, "We found some similarities in our hobbies." Can you see the difference S: Yes. T: Let's move on to the next word, "different", / d fr nt/. It is an adjective, meaning not the same as another or each other; unlike in nature, form, or quality. For example, "My opinion is different from yours." Repeat after me. S: My opinion is different from yours. T: Good. Now, what's the noun form of "different" Yes, it's "difference", / d fr ns/. It means a point or way in which people or things are not the same. For example, "The main difference between the two cars is the color." Repeat this sentence. S: The main difference between the two cars is the color. T: Well done. Now, let's compare "different" and "difference". Just like we did with "similar" and "similarity". "Different" is an adjective, we use it to describe things. Such as "different clothes", "different personalities". And "difference" is a noun, we use it to talk about the points of being not the same. For example, "We should respect the differences between cultures." Got it S: Yes. T: Next, we have "personality", / p s n l ti/. It is a noun, referring to the combination of characteristics or qualities that form an individual's distinctive character. For example, "She has a very friendly personality." Repeat this sentence. S: She has a very friendly personality. T: Can you think of some words to describe personality Like "outgoing", "shy", "kind", etc. Let's make a list on the board. Who wants to come up and write one S: (Some students come to the board and write words like "brave", "honest", "generous", etc.) T: Great job, everyone. Now, let's look at the next word, "talented", / t l nt d/. It is an adjective, meaning having a natural aptitude or skill for something. For example, "He is a talented musician." Repeat after me. S: He is a talented musician. T: Who can give me an example using "talented" to describe someone you know S: My sister is talented in dancing. T: Excellent. Now, the word "share", / e (r)/. It can be a verb or a noun. As a verb, it means to have or use (something) at the same time as another or others; divide and distribute. For example, "We should share our toys with our friends." As a noun, it means a part or portion of a larger amount which is divided among a number of people, or to which a number of people contribute. For example, "I have a share in the company." First, let's focus on the verb form. Repeat the sentence "We should share our toys with our friends." S: We should share our toys with our friends. T: Good. Now, can you use "share" in a sentence by yourself S: I like to share my books with my classmates. T: Very good. Now, let's move on to the word "care", /ke (r)/. It can also be a verb or a noun. As a verb, it means to feel concern or interest; attach importance to something. For example, "We should care about the environment." As a noun, it means the provision of what is necessary for the health, welfare, maintenance, and protection of someone or something. For example, "The old man needs special care." Let's focus on the verb form first. Repeat the sentence "We should care about the environment." S: We should care about the environment. T: Now, who can use "care" (verb) in a different sentence S: My parents care about my study very much. T: Great. And for the noun form, can you give an example S: The baby needs a lot of care. T: Well done. Next word, "serious", / s ri s/. It is an adjective, meaning thinking or treating something with earnestness and concern. For example, "He is a serious student, always working hard." Repeat this sentence. S: He is a serious student, always working hard. T: Can you think of a situation where we need to be serious S: When we are in an exam, we should be serious. T: Exactly. Now, let's look at the word "necessary", / nes s ri/. It is an adjective, meaning needed to be done, achieved, or present; essential. For example, "It is necessary to wear a helmet when riding a bike." Repeat this sentence. S: It is necessary to wear a helmet when riding a bike. T: Who can give another example using "necessary" S: It is necessary to learn English well in modern society. T: Good example. Vocabulary Practice T: Now, let's do some exercises to practice these new words. On your worksheet, you have a set of sentences with blanks. You need to fill in the blanks with the correct words we just learned. For example, "My best friend and I have many ______ (similarity). We both like reading." The correct answer here is "similarities" because we need the noun form, and "many" indicates it should be in plural. Start working on it now. S: (Students start to do the exercises) T: (Walk around the classroom, checking students' work and offering help if needed) T: Okay, let's check the answers. For the first sentence, "The two brothers have different ______ (personality)." What should we fill in S: personalities T: Right. Since "two brothers" are two people, we use the plural form of "personality". For the second sentence, "It is ______ (necessary) to drink enough water every day." S: necessary T: Correct. How about "She is very ______ (talent) in painting." S: talented T: Good. Remember, we use the adjective form "talented" here. Let's continue with the rest of the sentences. T: Now, let's play a game called "Similar or Different". I will describe two things or people, and you need to tell me if they are similar or different, and also use some of the words we learned to explain. For example, if I say "A cat and a dog", you can say "They are different. A cat is usually smaller and more independent, while a dog is often more friendly and energetic." Got it S: Yes. T: Okay, here is the first one. "An apple and an orange." S: They are different. An apple is usually rounder, and its color is often red or green. An orange is more spherical, and it is orange in color. Also, their tastes are different. An apple can be sweet or sour, while an orange is usually sweet and a bit sour. T: Great answer! You used a lot of good descriptions. Now, "A bicycle and a motorcycle." S: They are similar because they are both vehicles for transportation. But they are also different. A bicycle is powered by human effort, and it is slower. A motorcycle is powered by an engine and is much faster. T: Very good. Now, let's do one more. "Your best friend and you." S: (Students give various answers, such as "We are similar because we both like playing basketball. But we are different. I am more outgoing, while my friend is a little bit shy.") Pair - work T: Now, it's time for pair - work. I want you to talk with your partner about your best friend. You need to describe your friend, and also talk about the similarities and differences between you and your friend. Use the words we learned today, like "similar", "different", "personality", "talented", "share", etc. Here is an example conversation on the screen: A: My best friend is Lily. She is very talented in singing. B: Really Are you similar in any way A: Yes, we are both outgoing and we share the same hobby of reading books. But she is more serious in studying than me. Now, start your conversations. S: (Students start to talk in pairs) T: (Walk around the classroom, listening to students' conversations and giving guidance) T: Okay, stop here. Who wants to share your conversation with the class Raise your hands. S: (Some pairs come to the front of the class and share their conversations) T: Great job, everyone. You all did very well in using the new words to describe your friends. Listening Activity T: Now, let's do a listening activity. Listen carefully to the conversation between two friends, and then answer the questions on your worksheet. The questions are about the similarities and differences between the two speakers and their friends. Are you ready S: Yes. T: (Play the recording) T: Now, stop the recording. Let's check the answers to the first question. "What is one similarity between the two speakers' friends " S: (Students give answers based on what they heard) T: Right. And for the second question, "How are the two speakers different from their friends " S: (Students answer) T: Good. Let's listen to the recording one more time to make sure we got all the answers correct. T: (Play the recording again) T: Now, let's go over the answers one by one to make sure everyone understands. Group Discussion T: Next, we will have a group discussion. I will divide you into groups of four. The topic for discussion is "What kind of friends do you think are the best Friends who are similar to you or friends who are different from you " Each group needs to discuss this topic and write down your opinions on a piece of paper. Use the words and phrases we learned today to support your ideas. For example, "I think friends who are similar to me are the best because we can share the same interests and hobbies, and it's easy for us to understand each other." or "I prefer friends who are different from me. They can bring out the best in me and make me learn new things." Start your discussion now. S: (Students form groups and start to discuss) T: (Walk around the groups, participating in the discussions and guiding students) T: Okay, time's up. Each group, please send a representative to come to the front and share your group's opinions. S: (Group representatives come to the front and share their group's ideas) T: Great discussions, everyone. It's interesting to see different opinions. Whether friends are similar or different, what's important is that we can get along well and support each other. Summary T: Now, let's summarize what we learned today. We learned a lot of new words to describe people and talk about the similarities and differences between friends, such as "similar", "similarity", "different", "difference", "personality", "talented", "share", "care", "serious", "necessary". We also did various exercises, played games, had pair - work, a listening activity, and a group discussion to practice using these words. Remember to use these words in your daily life when you talk about your friends. S: (Students listen and take notes) Homework T: For homework, I want you to write a short passage about your best friend. In your passage, you need to describe your friend's appearance, personality, and hobbies. Also, compare yourself with your friend, talk about the similarities and differences between you two. Use at least five of the new words we learned today. Bring your passage to class tomorrow, and we will share them with each other. Is that clear S: Yes. T: Okay, class is over. Have a great day!
