师:Okay, what did you see? Tell me.
生:We had a speech, a sports meeting, and Japanese courses. We can see these in the pictures. Look at the first picture. It's from 2018.
师:So what did we do at that time?
生:(不太清晰的回答)
师:How about the second picture? Who can tell me with a complete sentence? Please raise your hand. Tony?
生(Tony):We had the first sports meeting and our class did very well.
师:Keywords. We were very...
生(齐答):Excited.
师:Yes. So can you get the answer? Let's say it together. Our class did well and we were very excited. Now, look at the last picture. When is it?
生:(不太准确的回答,如"12 year? Eight in three. Years." ,师纠正)
师:Let's read a short passage together. "In 2018, we enjoyed many activities. We had a great teacher and our class performed very well. We were very excited. We had a smooth trip to Shanghai with many classmates and we expressed ourselves a lot." So, which tense do we use to talk about these things?
生:(回答)
师:Yes, we use the simple past tense to talk about our past experiences. Now, can you find the keywords that indicate the use of the simple past tense?
生:(回答)
师:Yes, what are they?
生:(回答,不太清晰,师继续引导)
师:For example, "in 2018", "yesterday", "last year", "last week". These are the words we use to talk about the simple past tense.
Let's continue. This is about our experiences in school. Now, we are going to listen to a conversation. They are talking about their experiences. Listen carefully and match each question with the name of the person.

听力内容:
Brian: So, Brian, here we are at the end of junior high.
Ryan: Yeah, I'm so happy I don't have to do PE again. But we did have a great PE teacher. He gave us really clear instructions so that we'd be safe when playing sports.
Brian: Yeah, I remember Mister Hunt. He was kind when I hurt my knee. He told me to take a break.
Ryan: What about you, Luke? Do you have any special memories?
Luke: My best memory is when That's Life played at school. Remember, we wrote a letter to the band about our dream of hearing them play and they offered to come.
Ryan: Yeah, that was so cool. Don't you think that junior high has been fun?
Luke: Yes. And a lot of hard work, too. What are you going to do after you graduate, Lisa?
Lisa: I want to go to senior high and then university so I can study medicine.
师:Can you give the answers? Please raise your hand and tell me. Jenny, what did you get?
生(Jenny):He was friendly and nice.
师:Yes, we can also say he was kind. Sit down, please. Mina, what about the bad memory part? And Jessie, for number 3?
生(Jessie):She's probably going to be a doctor.
师:How do you know?
生(Jessie):Because she said she wants to go to senior high school and then university so she can study medicine.
师:Yes. So from what she said about medicine, we know that Lisa is going to be a doctor. Now, let's listen again. Look at your worksheet. You have the conversation here. Listen once and write down the correct words. Are you ready?
(再次播放听力,生完成任务)
师:Okay, do they get all the right answers? Let's check the answers one by one. First, let's read the words together. Do you know how to read the word "junior"? Junior. Now, look at the first one, "gave really clear instructions" - Mister Hunt. The next one, and the last one, "offer". If you don't know how to write a correct word like "offer" or other words, you need to pay attention to the context to know which tense to use.
Lisa is going to be a doctor and they are thankful for the teacher, right? So, I give you one minute to share with your group members about the people you are thankful for, and then tell me. Go!
