Step1. Warming up：

 Activity 1. Greet the students as usual.

T: I’m very glad to be here and give you a lesson. Just now, you are puzzled about my name. Now let me try to introduce myself.

“My name is Ms Mo. I’m a teacher. I’m from China and I’m Chinese. I’m 24 years old. Nice to meet you.”

Activity 2. New words study.

Show two pictures of flags and students. Make a story about them.

   T: Just now, I said, I’m from China and I’m Chinese. And you are also from China. Today I’m going to introduce two of my friends. Let’s look at their pictures and guess “Where are they from?”

Step 2 Listening.

Activity 3. Listening and vocabulary

Step 4: Consolidation

Activity 8. Language points.

1．I’m from Wuhan.我来自武汉。

这里be from表示“来自哪里”

另外：be from = come from

eg:  They are from England.

   =They come from England.

注意：I’m from China and I’m Chinese.

  我来自中国，我是中国人。

2． I’m twelve years old. .我十二岁。

用来表述年龄，表示 “……岁”。可以省略。

3． What about you?那么你呢？

4．Welcome to…欢迎来……

eg. Welcome to our school.

5． “be verbs”

T: Pay attention to the red words. “is, am, are” these three are called “be verbs”. Can you make a conclusion about their usage？ “When do we use is/ am/ are?” let the students think about this question for a while and answer together.

6． 并列句：两个或更多意思上关系很紧密的句子合并成一个句子，形成并列句。分句用and连接。

eg: I’m your teacher and you are my students.

Step 5: Speaking

Activity 11. Self introduction.

T: Boys and girls, did you notice that if we put the answers to the questions together, we can make a self introduction. So now let’s try to do it. You can follow these sentence structures.

Give students 3 minutes and ask 2 of them to make a show.

Homework:

1. Listen to the tape and read after it three times.

2. Finish the exercises of Unit 1.
