师:Class begin. Good afternoon, boys and girls.
生:Good afternoon.
师:Good afternoon. Sit down, please. Hey, boys and girls, today we are going to talk about Unit 3 Weather Hobby. Let's talk and learn. Are you ready? Go. Okay, we did this homework yesterday: Try to be a good weather reporter, right? And here's the weather report from Xiaojun. Is she a good weather reporter? Let's have a look.
(Xiaojun's weather report)
师:Is she a good reporter? So, how many stars can she get? I think Xiaojun can get 3 stars. Most of you are good at being reporters. Good job, boys and girls. From this report, we know that the weather is different in different cities at the same time in China, right? How about the weather around the world? Is the weather different around the world? Mark wants to know. So he calls his friend Chen Jie. Chen Jie is in Beijing now. They are on the call. Look at Picture 1. Can you tell me what's the weather like?
生:It's rainy.
师:How do you know it's raining?
生:From the picture, we can see it's raining outside the window.
师:You have sharp eyes. Good job. Sit down, please. It's rainy. R - a - i - n - y, rainy. Yes, it's rainy. And how about Picture 2? What's the weather like, Tom?
生:It's warm.
师:Why do you think so?
生:Chen Jie is wearing a T - shirt or maybe a dress.
师:Different ideas? Yuhan, you please.
生:It's cool.
师:Why do you think so?
生:Because it might be cold at night.
师:How do you know it's in the evening or at night? Okay, it doesn't matter. You can say out of the window, it gives you that feeling. So you think it's cool, right? Yeah, good thinking. Zishi, you please.
生:Wow, it's warm.
师:Why do you think so?
生:Look at this temperature. It's 26 degrees.
师:Sharp eyes. Very good. Now, here's the dialogue between Mark and Chen Jie, but there are some mixed - up sentences. What are they? Can you think? Okay, close your book and think. What are the mixed - up sentences? I'll give you 30 seconds.
(30 seconds later)
师:Thumbs up. Haoyu, you please.
生:Hi, Chen Jie. How are you? I think this should be the first sentence because when making a call, we should greet the other person first to be polite.
师:Maybe you're right. Sit down, please. How about “Hi, Chen Jie. I'm Mark”? Why do you think so?
生:Because in the following part, Chen Jie answers “Hi, Mark”.
师:Good try. Sit down, please. Paopao, Xinyue, what do you think?
生:I think it should be “This is Mark” because if he doesn't introduce himself, Chen Jie won't respond like that.
师:Good try. Sit down, please. How about number two? Yanqi, you please.
生:What's the weather like in New York? I think this is the right sentence because the next sentence is “It's raining” which follows this question.
师:Maybe. Different ideas? Shuhang, you please.
生:He might ask “Hi, Mark. Is it sunny in New York?” Because the following part mentions a different weather from sunny.
师:Good try. Sit down, please. How about No. 3? He, you please.
生:It's rainy, too.
师:What do you think? Why do you choose this?
生:Because it's raining in New York, and he might think it's also raining where Chen Jie is.
师:Good thinking. Maybe you're right. Sit down, please. Different ideas? Tianjing, you please.
生:I think it should be “It's 26 degrees. That's cool. How about Beijing? Is it cold?” Because it's raining and usually rainy days are cold, so he might guess if it's cold in Beijing.
师:Maybe. Sit down, please. Different ideas? Singing, you please.
生:But he might say “How about Beijing? Is it 5 degrees?” Because it's raining and usually rainy days are cold, and there's also a mention of 26 degrees later.
师:Good try. Good thinking. How about number four, the last one? Jimmy, you please.
生:That's hot.
师:Why do you think so?
生:Because foreigners may not know much about China's weather.
师:Good try. Sit down, please. Different ideas? Ray, you please.
生:It should be “It's cold”. Because if it's warm, it doesn't match the context.
师:Good chance. Sit down, please. Okay, boys and girls, are you right? Let's read and choose. Here are the tips for you. Now, please take out your worksheet and pen, and write it down. Clear? I'll give you 40 seconds. Let's go.
(40 seconds later)
师:Okay, most of you have finished now. Let's check. Are you ready? Listen carefully.
(Reads the correct dialogue)
师:Hi, Chen Jie. This is Mark.
