教学过程（第二课时）
自由对话 承上启下
T: Good morning, boys and girls. How are you today? Now, Let’s begin our free talk--Drive 
   a train. I’ll show the topics on the screen. Start from Group 1, please. 
每节课都进行五分钟的自由对话，并将与该课主题相关的话题显示在大屏幕上如:
Who is your friend? / What do you like to eat? / Festival greeting. Happy New Year / What do you like to play? / What can you do? / When is your birthday? 一个一个的互问互答，辅以相应的手势。为学生创造交际的机会，培养其语言应变能力和口语表达能力。
任务驱动 阅读对话 
T: I know you all like birthday party, because you can get many presents, you can have a big dinner, and you can play with your friends at your birthday party. Today, we’ll learn to hold an English birthday party. OK? You must talk in English, sing in English and play in English. But how to hold a birthday party? Don’t worry. I’ve prepared three dialogues for you. Dialogue 1 will tell you how to invite your friends on the phone. Dialogue 2 will tell you how to give and get presents. Dialogue 3 will tell you some key words for the party. Now, please read the three dialogues by yourselves. 
让学生带着任务而且是其喜欢的活动任务去听去读，更能激发其学习的兴趣，提高学习的效率。 
环环相扣 两两操练
T: I’ve read the three dialogues, too. Now I know how to invite my friends on the phone. Listen to me, please. ‘Today is my birthday. I am going to hold a birthday party. Now I’ll invite my friend, Kitty.’ 
在学生自主听读后，教师约请两位同学做示范，进行电话约请，收送礼物，生日活动，然后让学生进行两两练
习。将所学的内容及时进行巩固迁移，有利于提高学生运用知识的灵活性。
阅读故事 整体感知
T: Now, you know how to invite your friends, how to give and get presents and how to hold a birthday party. I’ve prepared some stories for you to read. Please choose one to read. (six minutes)
T: Please read story Ben’s birthday for two times. (4 minutes) 
如果说学生在学完对话后对生日会的感知是片段性的话，那么通过阅读与生日会相关的小故事，并重点阅读Be
n’s birthday这个故事后对生日会则会有一个全方位的感受。这样的环节设置有利于培养学生思维的发散性
和概括性。
分组派对 实践运用 
T: Now, suppose today is your group head’s birthday. Please hold a birthday party in groups. 
学生通过对话，故事的学习，对生日会有了一个清晰的认识，让他们戴上课前准备的帽子，开开心心的开
一个生日会，是对知识的巩固，也是寓教于乐的体现。轻松的环境有利于学生无拘无束的交流。
