Warming up and revision
What do you usually do in your free time
I like playing basketball！
Why do you like that activity
Playing basketball makes me healthier both physically and mentally.
Read the conversation. Circle Peter‘s and Yaming’s free-time activities.
Peter: Hey Yaming! What are you up to
Yaming: Hi Peter. I‘m doing calligraphy.
Peter: It’s beautiful! What are you writing
Yaming: It’s a poem by Li Bai. My grandmother taught me how to write it.
意为“你在忙什么呢？”，常用于日常口语。

3a
Peter: What’s this character
Yaming: It’ s yue. It means “moon”.
Peter: It’s nice! I like watching you write like that. But it looks difficult.
Yaming: Well, the first step is always the hardest. When I started to do calligraphy, I spent hours practising single strokes.
长难句分析：本句是复合句，主句是I spent hours practising single strokes，从句是When I started to do calligraphy，是when引导的时间状语从句。
Peter: I know how that feels! My dad’ s teaching me to play the guitar. It’s difficult, but he always encourages me not to give up.
Yaming: Exactly. Now I do calligraphy to relax. I even like how the ink smells! Why did you choose to play the guitar
Peter: I think playing the guitar is cool. Will you teach me to write a poem I can teach you to play a song in return.
Yaming: It’ s a deal!
encourage sb. not to do sth. 鼓励某人不要做某事
“一言为定！”用于达成约定时的简洁回应。
1. What words does Peter use to describe Yaming’ s work
Peter uses “beautiful” and “nice” to describe Yaming’s calligraphy work.
3b
Read again and answer the questions.
2. What does Yaming like about his hobby
Doing calligraphy helps him relax, and he even likes the smell of the ink.
3. What are the similarities between Yaming’s and Peter’s hobbies
The similarities are that both hobbies are difficult at the beginning.
4. What do you think “The first step is always the hardest” means
It means when we begin something new or hard, the start is usually the most difficult part. Once we get through that start and keep going, it’ll get easier.
5. How do you usually feel when you manage to do something difficult Give an example.
When I manage to do something difficult, I usually feel a great sense of achievement and pride. For example, when I first learned to ride a bicycle, it was really hard to keep my balance. But after practising a lot, finally I was able to ride smoothly. I felt so happy and proud of myself.

· It makes me feel happy to ...

Discuss the reasons why you do your hobbies. You can use the expressions to help you.
I like playing basketball because it’s not only a great way to exercise but also helps me to build strong friendships. I enjoy the feeling of teamwork when we play together. It lets me forget all my worries and have a great time.
