本课时为阅读技能训练及语言学习的综合训练。2a是读前活动，主要调查学生的课外生活；2b-2d为读中活动，阅读语篇介绍了一些中国父母和美国父母对孩子们业余活动和课外学习的安排以及想法；2e是读后活动，要求学生针对课后活动表达自己的意见和看法。
学情分析
本课时为阅读课，文章的主题与学生息息相关，分别以不同的角度阐述了对课后活动的看法，容易引起学生的共鸣。加上前几个课时的铺垫，所以难度适中。在前面学习的基础上，学生对如何描述困难及提出建议的表达方式有了一定的词汇积累，本课时把话题引到学生的学习压力上，学生们可以感同身受，有话可说。
课时教学目标
语言能力：能够在阅读语篇创设的情境中，正确理解和掌握课文中的新词汇，增加词汇量；利用语境猜测词义，提升语篇理解能力； 学习能力：能够通过阅读有关中西方家长对待孩子参加课外活动和课外学习班的态度与做法的文章，保持英语学习兴趣；通过略读、跳读、猜测词义等阅读策略的感悟、体验和学习，提升阅读理解能力。 思维品质：能够在老师的帮助下，通过思维导图、辩论等活动，增进对语篇的分析和理解能力，提高思维的逻辑性、批判性和创新性； 文化意识：了解中国及其他国家中学生们普便存在的问题；学会放松，缓解压力。
教学重难点
教学重点：掌握本课时词汇；能够读懂有关中西方家长对待孩子参加课外活动和课外学习班的态度与做法的文章，并获取相关观点及其支撑信息。 教学难点：有效帮助学生利用寻读、跳读、猜测词义等方式获取信息，梳理文章脉络，提升阅读技能，并进一步锻炼复述故事的能力。
