What was the date yesterday? 然后将答案(完全形式和缩略形式)写在黑板上,并让学生视听,初步了解英文日期的表达与中文顺序的不同。然后全班问学生几个问题:What day is our National Day? October 1st. / Oct.1st. Which month is the Spring Festival in? Usually in February. Who / Whose mother / Whose father was born in February / April / May / September / October? 最好先找几个学生是在已学过的这几个月份出生的,或他们的父母是在这几个月份出生的,这样可先复习学过的几个月份。按季节做以下表格。先填出学过的季节和月份。学完生词后填满表格。

past last sing spring sea season 先让学生根据旧单词读出划线部分,然后再读整个单词。
这些单词大多数拼读较复杂,可让学生把这些单词先在本上抄一遍。
然后让学生练习自己的生日,每个人说出自己的生日。可两人互相问答,练习说自己的生日,父母的生日,朋友的生日等。
最后教师问学生:

Ask and answer
T: There are four seasons in a year. They are spring, slimmer, autumn and winter. Do you know when spring/summer/autumn/winter is in China?
让学生根据上面填写的表格进行对话练习:

Notes:
1. We say “autumn” in Britain, and say “fall” in American English.
2. When we say four seasons, we should use preposition “in”——in spring, in summer, in autumn/fall, in winter.
3. Preposition “on”
On Monday, On Tuesday, On Wednesday, On Thursday, On Friday, On Saturday, On Sunday
4. Preposition “at”
at 6 o clock, at 120 clock, at this time of year.
