■Warming up by telling about “How do I learn best?”
Hello, class. First I’d like to tell you how I learn best. Do you like to know how I learn best? I learn best by using flashcards. I learn best by reading aloud the texts. I learn best by memorizing new words. I learn best by staying up late in the night. Then how do you learn best? Can you tell your partner how you learn best? Attention, class! To learn more about how others learn best let’s go to page 4. We are going to read something this time.
3a Reading and writing
We are going to read the article on page 4. First we shall read to the tape together. That is, we start reading aloud as the recorder goes, and we stop reading aloud as the recorder stops. While reading, let’s pay enough attention to the pauses, the pronunciation and the intonation of the native reader. Make our reading aloud as the same as the reader’s.
Next we are going to read aloud the article slowly and clearly. We will try to divide it into thought groups. We shall read the article once again, this time, to underline all the useful expressions in it. After school, you are going to write them down in your notebook. Useful expressions from How do you learn best? ask students at New Star High School about…, the best ways to learn…, learn by…, by using English, have more specific suggestions, for example, learn new words, by reading English magazines, memorize the words of pop songs, help a little, study grammar, too boring, feel differently, learn English for six years, really love…, a great way, learn a language, watch English movies, a bad way, watch…say…, find…frustrating, speak too quickly, join the English club, at school, the best way to improve English, get lots of practice, have fun, add that…, have conversations with…, not helpful at all, get excited about…, end up speaking in… Now let’s try to write by imitation.
