Unit 1 FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS Period 4 Listening and Talking
活动主题
该板块的活动主题是“谈论节日经历”( Talk about festival expericnces )，这也是日常交际中人们经常 会谈论的话题。节日特色食品是节日文化中必不可少的一部分, 因此，该部分的听说活动还为节日饮食 文化提供了探讨和比较的空间。在示范对话中， 中国学生 Song Lin 谈到了节假日常常是人们走亲访友、 联络感情、深化人际交往的好时机。然而，随着时代的发展和生活节奏的加快，年轻人和父辈对待节 假日的态度已经开始发生变化。现实生活中,节假日的团聚也会带来不便、困扰和矛盾,这些问题同样值 得学生交流和探讨。这种带有现实意义的话题讨论，不仅能锻炼学生的口头表达能力，还有利于引导 学生全面地看待问题，提高他们分析问题和解决问题的能力。
文本分析
听力文本展现了中国学生 Song Lin 询问加拿大朋友 Max 回家过圣诞节的对话。通过听这个对话，学 生可能会发现,虽然在节日起源和庆祝形式上有很多不同， 但西方的圣诞节与我国的春节仍然颇为相似， 比如:与亲友团聚，把家里装扮一番，吃一顿丰盛的家庭晚宴，与亲朋好友聊聊天，互相送礼物等。该 板块的口语示范对话还呈现了 Song Lin 与朋友 Joc 谈论在中国过新年的经历, 既讲述了假期中令人欢喜 的部分，也提及了偶发的令人感到乏味和不快的事情。对话中除了表达喜悦、兴奋、乏味和厌烦等情 绪的功能句式以外，还包含如何回应他人的交际用语,渗透了对学生交际能力和情商的培养。
