Around the world, summer vacation means long days, sunshine, swimming, sleeping in and, most importantly, no school.
Hundreds of years ago, students took the summer off to help their parents in the fields. Today, though, summers are full of fun—no work. A summer vacation means so many opportunities for kids: extra classes, sports, hobbies or catching up on studies.
If you're lucky, during the weeks away from school, you can volunteer, travel or go to a camp. It's time to do a part-time job to learn a new skill. You may hang out with friends all day. Some kids just kick off their shoes and jump into rivers and swimming pools.
If you're not so lucky, summer vacation may mean summer school—a long, hot summer inside the classroom.
Whatever your plans, make this summer a good one. Take on a project. Learn something! Help someone! Make this summer one to remember.
1. What does summer vacation mean all over the world?
A. Long days. B. Activities. C. No school. D. All above.
2. What did students do in their summer vacation hundreds of years ago?
A. They studied in extra class. B. They worked in the fields.
C. They volunteered. D. They went abroad.
3. Do students need to go to the classroom in summer vacation?
A. No, they don't. B. Yes, of course.
C. Maybe, some will. D. Sure, they will.
4. If you want to learn a new skill, you may ?.
A. do a part-time job B. sleep
C. kick off your shoes D. jump into rivers

Lesson 18 An Animal Story
本课是北师大版《初中英语》七年级下册教材第6单元第18课，话题为动物。第三单元的前两课学习内容包括如何介绍我最喜欢的动物和如何描述有趣的动物。本课学习一篇有关人和动物的感人故事，为最终进行本单元的综合语言输出奠定必要的语言基础。
本节课的教学设计分为两个课时。第一课时侧重对阅读文章的理解，引导学生通过阅读提取有关John、Anthony和狮子Christian之间感人故事的具体事实。在阅读活动中，引导学生提取故事发展的主线信息和细节信息，在读前、读中理解与话题相关的词汇，在语篇中关注方式副词的表意功能，最后结合课文信息和语言信息进行输出性活动。
第二课时在复习有关狮子的感人故事和巩固相关语言的基础上，引入本课的语法功能——方式副词，学习其基本结构和语用功能。在语境中进行多层面的练习，最后运用方式副词写一篇有关动物的小故事。
