(Exchange roles. S2 ask S1 about the favorite subjects)
Step V. Presentation (呈现新知识)
1. Present the sentence structure:
-Why do you like... -Because...
T: What's your favorite subject, S1?
S1: My favorite subject is P.E.
T: Why do you like P.E.?
S1: (Help S1 answer) Because it's fun.
Write the sentence structure: " -Why do you like... - Because..."on the blackboard.
2. Let Ss read after the teacher, and try to remember them.
3. Ask and answer with your partner about the reasons they like ball games. e.g.
S1: Why do you like soccer?
S2: Because it's boring. Why do you like basketball?
S1: Because it's interesting. Why do you like volleyball?
S2: Because it's fun.
Step VI. Listening (听力训练)
1. T: Look at the picture in 2a. Two students are talking about their favorite subjects. First, read the sentences by yourself. Then listen and put the conversation in order.
Ss read the four sentences, then listen to the recording and put them in order.
2. Check the answers with the class.
3. We're learned some adjectives in Unit 5. Such as interesting, boring, fun, difficult, relaxing...
Do you still remember? Let's review the words together. (List all the adjectives: interesting, boring, fun, difficult, relaxing) Then have a conversation with the Ss.
T: Let's play basketball!
Ss: That sounds interesting.
T: Let's play baseball.
Ss: That sounds difficult.
T: Let's listen to music.
Ss: That sounds relaxing.
T: Let's watch TV!
Ss: That sounds boring.
T: Let's play a game.
Ss: That sounds fun.
4. Now listen to the recording again. Match the subjects you hear with the descriptions. Ss listen and match. Then play the recording for the Ss to check the answers.
Step VII. Pair work (结对活动)
1. T: What do you think of the subjects above? Make your own conversations using the words (fun, interesting, relaxing, difficult...) in 2b. For example:
S1: What's your favorite subject?
S2: Science.
S1: Why do you like science?
S2: Because it's interesting.
2. Ss make their own conversations with his or her partner. Then let some pairs act out their conversations.
