Students will be able to discuss their own experiences with learning new skills, describe challenges, and offer encouragement to others using the target language.
3. Cultural Awareness
Students will explore common free-time activities among teenagers both domestically and internationally.
Students will develop a healthy concept of leisure life, understanding that hobbies contribute to personal growth (bravery, strength) beyond just fun.
II. Key Points and Difficulties
1. Key Points (Teaching Focus)
Mastering the usage of phrases: be scared of, get over, get back up, give up, from the start.
Understanding the dialogue content: Emma's experience with ice skating and Fu Xing's experience with swimming.
Internalizing the moral: "Everything's difficult before it's easy."
2. Difficult Points (Teaching Challenges)
Grammar Application: Correctly using "used to" for past habits/states vs. present reality, and the structure "expect sb. to do sth.".
Emotional Expression: Articulating feelings of frustration and the process of overcoming fear fluently in English.
Critical Thinking: Moving beyond simple description to analyzing why we shouldn't give up and offering constructive advice.
III. Teaching Procedures
Step 1: Lead-in (5 minutes)
Activity: Show pictures/videos of "Ice skating" and "Swimming".
Question: "What activity is this " and "What are the challenges of doing these two activities "
Discussion: Ask students: "Did athletes give up when they faced difficulties Why or why not "
Purpose: To activate background knowledge and introduce the theme of challenges in learning new skills.
Step 2: Pre-listening (5 minutes)
Prediction: Look at the title "Time to Relax" and the section "2a-2d". Predict what Fu Xing and Emma might talk about.
Vocabulary Prep: Briefly review/introduce key words: instructor, fear, get over.
Step 3: While-listening (15 minutes)
Task 1 (Listening for Gist - 2a):
Listen to the conversation.
Tick the topics mentioned: what they are going to do next day, what Emma/Fu Xing did at the weekend, challenges of free-time activities.
Task 2 (Listening for Details - 2b):
Listen again and complete the sentences:
Emma went to the sports centre to try ice skating.
Emma didn't want to go ice skating again at first.
Fu Xing told Emma that no one expected her to be perfect from the start.
The instructor encouraged Emma to get back up and told her not to give up easily.
Fu Xing used to be scared of water, but she started swimming to get over her fear.
Task 3 (Imitation):
Play the audio and have students read after the MP3, imitating pronunciation and intonation.
Step 4: Post-listening & Speaking (10 minutes)
Retelling (2c context):
Provide a summary text with blanks (hurt, ice skating, fall, again, perfect, instructor, give up, difficult, scared, fear) and ask students to fill them in orally or in writing to retell the story.
Group Discussion:
Topic: "What advice would you give to someone who wants to give up a new skill "
Guidance: Use prompts like: It’s okay to meet difficulties, Talk to someone, Set small goals, Take a short break, Remember "Difficult first, easy later".
Sharing Time (2d):
Pair work: Share personal experiences.
Model: "I love singing now. But I was afraid to sing in front of others at first." -> "What helped you get over your fear " -> "I practised in front of friends."
Step 5: Summary & Language Points (5 minutes)
Moral Extraction: Discuss what we learn from the stories.
"Nobody expects you to be perfect from the start."
"Nothing is impossible to a willing heart."
Key Grammar & Phrases Review:
help sb. (to) do sth. (e.g., Painting helps me express how I feel.)
need to do sth. (e.g., I needed to practise a lot.)
expect sb. to do sth. (e.g., Nobody expects you to be perfect...)
Translation practice: hurt all over, try ice skating, get back up, used to do sth.
Step 6: Homework
Must do: Write five sentences about your own free-time activities and the reasons for doing them.
Choose to do: Draw a picture of your favorite free-time activity and write a short English description under it.
IV. Teaching Reflection (教学反思)
1. 教学目标达成情况：本节课基本达成了预设的教学目标。通过听力和对话练习，学生能够掌握关于业余活动及克服困难的核心价值观词汇（如 get over, instructor, give up）。大部分学生能够理解“万事开头难”的道理，并尝试用英语表达自己学习新技能时的挫折感及克服过程。在情感态度方面，通过Fu Xing和Emma的故事，有效激发了学生面对困难不轻言放弃的意识。
2. 教学亮点：
情境导入自然： 利用滑冰和游泳的视频/图片导入，迅速拉近了学生与话题的距离，引发了关于“挑战”的讨论。
层层递进的任务设计： 从听力获取大意到细节填空，再到复述故事和小组建议讨论，任务难度螺旋上升，符合学生的认知规律。
德育渗透巧妙： 没有生硬地说教，而是通过挖掘教材对话中的金句（如 "Everything's difficult before it's easy"），让学生在语言学习中自然感悟人生哲理。
3. 存在不足与改进措施：
口语输出的深度： 部分基础较弱的学生在“分享时间（Sharing time）”环节，虽然能说出简单的活动名称，但在描述“如何克服恐惧”这一复杂心理过程时，语言表达显得单薄，句式较为单一。
改进： 在今后的教学中，可以提供更多的句型支架（Sentence Scaffolding），例如提供 "At first, I felt... because...", "Later, I tried to...", "Finally, I found that..." 等连接词和模板，帮助学生更有逻辑地组织语言。
时间把控： 在小组讨论环节，部分学生讨论过于热烈，导致最后的总结和时间分配略显仓促。
改进： 需要更严格地控制各环节时间，或者在讨论前明确具体的时间限制和成果展示要求，提高课堂效率。
个体差异关注： 对于英语基础特别薄弱的学生，在复述故事环节可能存在困难。
改进： 可以设计分层任务，基础弱的学生只需完成关键词填空朗读，基础好的学生进行脱稿复述或创编对话，确保每位学生都有获得感。
总体而言，这是一堂集语言知识学习与情感教育于一体的课程，未来需在提升学生深层表达能力和课堂节奏把控上继续打磨。
