　　生日除了讲月外，还要有具体的几号，我们已经学过基数词one, two, three 到thirty-one。那么我们是否就用这些基数词呢？No.我们还有把这些数词稍微改变一下。然后引出序数词的学习，教学日期的表达法。

a. 复习from one to thirty-one。

b. 教学序数词，再教学生几句基数词变序数词的几句口诀，以便学生记忆。

基变序，有规律，

第一、二、三单独记。

-th 从四加起，

八去t来九去e。

遇到ve, f替，

-ty变为tie,

后跟-th莫迟疑。

若想表示几十几，

只变个位就可以。

c. Listen and repeat 2a（Section A）

d. Do some practice about the date

e. Practice（每组派一个同学到黑板上写出四个你喜欢的日期，然后让另外小组的成员用英语说出你写的日期，每个同学说一个，如果错了，就让同一组的同学纠正，看看哪一组同学能一次就说正确，那么就是获胜者。）

f. Ask and answer : When is your birthday? My birthday is....
