Warm-up (5 mins) — Activate Prior Knowledge
Show 3–4 random hobby images (not from book) and ask: “What is this person doing Do you like doing this Why/Why not ”
Elicit responses using simple sentences: “I like… because it’s fun / relaxing / exciting.”

Introduce/review vocabulary: playing the flute, doing calligraphy, painting, skiing, hiking, programming.
Have students individually match activities to pictures (write letter next to phrase).
Check answers as class; clarify any confusion (e.g., “calligraphy = beautiful handwriting with brush”).

Listening Comprehension (10 mins) — Interviews (1b & 1c)
Step 1: Pre-listening Prediction
Read questions 1–4 aloud. Ask: “Who might say these things What activities could fit here ”
Let students predict possible answers based on names/culture clues (Teng Fei → likely Chinese name; Helen → possibly Western).
Step 2: First Listen (1b)
Play audio once. Students fill in blanks silently.
Replay if needed. Pause after each interview segment for note-taking.
Step 3: Second Listen (1c)
Focus on purpose: “Why do they do it ”
Match statements from 1b to purposes A–D.
Discuss as class: “Is ‘to relax’ always the same as ‘to express feelings’ Can one activity serve multiple purposes ”
Sample Answers (for teacher reference):

(Note: Actual answers depend on audio script — adjust accordingly)

Model dialogue with a student volunteer:
A: What do you do in your free time B: I like to play basketball.A: Why do you do it B: I do it to stay healthy and have fun with friends.
Assign pairs. Give 3 minutes to prepare, then 5 minutes to converse.

Extension Challenge: Add “But sometimes I also…” to show complexity of interests.
Wrap-up & Reflection (5 mins)
Quick share-out: 2–3 volunteers report partner’s hobby and reason.
