Step 1 Warming-up
Ask students to greet each other. Focus their attention on the greeting of new year and the transportation.
e.g.
A: Hello! Jane! Happy New Year!
B: Hello, Maggie. The same to you. Nice to see you again.
A: Nice to see you, too. Do you often come to school on foot?
B: Yes, I do. How do you usually come to school?
B: I usually come to school by bike.
【设计意图】帮助学生复习新年祝福语并引出交通工具。
Step 2 Revision
Try to express the means of transportation as many as you can.
by bus, by train, on foot, by bike, by subway, by car, by plane, by ship, by boat…
【设计意图】复习学过的交通工具，学习新的交通工具，并为下面的学习内容做铺垫。
Step 3 Pre-listening
Work on 2a&2b
Match the pictures in 2a with the Phrases [A-I].
A. by subway B. by bike C. by plane D. on foot E. by car F. by train G. by ship H. by bus I. by boat
Work in groups based on the following structures.
S1: How do you usually come to school?
S2: I usually come to school by bike.
S3: How does he / she usually come to school?
S4: She / He usually comes to school by bike.
【设计意图】训练学生使用一般现在时第三人称单数形式，同时也通过提问的方式提醒学生注意听同学发言。
Listen to 2b and match the means of transportation in 2a with the people.
Listen to 2b again, check the answers.
Ask students to say the whole sentences using the information in 2b.
e.g. Kangkang goes to school by bike.
Work on 1a
According to the pictures in 1a, try to predict the following sentences, T for true or F for false.
( ) 1. Kangkang goes to school by bike.
( ) 2. Helen usually goes to school by bike, too.
( ) 3. Jane often goes to school by subway.
Step 4 While-listening
Listen to 1a and then answers the questions.
(1) Where do Kangkang, Jane and Helen meet?
(2) How does Helen usually come to school?
(3) How does Jane always come to school?
2. Listen to 1a again and try to find out the main idea.
What are the children mainly talking about? _____
A. Kangkang’s new bike.
B. Their ways to go to school.
C. Helen’s new bike.
D. Jane’s way to come to school.
【设计意图】教师通过图片，引导学生预测听力内容，可以降低听力的难度，还可以培养学生借助图片帮助理解听力的能力。
Step 5 Post-listening
Work on 1b&1c
Ask students to read the sentences in 1b and choose the correct one for each picture.
A. He comes to school on foot.
B. She goes to school by bus.
C. He comes to school by bike.
D. She goes to school by subway.
Ask students to fill in the blanks according to 1b.
Michael comes to school________.
B. Jane goes to school_______.
C. Kangkang comes to school_________.
D. Helen goes to school___________.
Ask students to work in groups and practice 1a. Then make up a new conversation with the following structures.
Happy New Year!
Nice to see you!
How do you usually come/go to school?
I usually come/go to school by bus/subway…
Learn some language points.
—Happy New Year!
—The same to you.
The same to you.意为“也同样祝你…… ”用于公共节假日等别人向你祝福问候时的回答。相当于You, too.
e.g.—Merry Christmas! —The same to you.
注意: —Happy birthday! —Thank you!
—Do you often come to school by bike?
—Yes, I do.
do在这里是助动词，无实际意义，构成疑问句，单三需要换成does。
e.g. —Does she go to school on foot? —No, she doesn’t.
—How do you usually come to school?
—I usually come to school by subway.
①此句中how用来询问交通方式
e.g. —How do you usually go to the zoo?
—I usually go to the zoo by bus.
② by subway意为“乘坐地铁”。“by+表示交通工具的单数名词”是一种常见的表示乘坐某种交通工具的介词短语。
e.g. by bike, by car, by plane / air, by train, by bus等。
It’s time for class.
It's time for + 名词，意为“到……的时间了”。
扩展 It’s time to do sth.，意为“到做某事的时间了”。
e.g. It’s time for bed = It’s time to go to bed. 到睡觉的时间了。
【设计意图】巩固1a中的重点单词和句型，让学生有意识地构建新年问候和谈论交通方式的表达。
Work on 3a&3b
Listen to 3a. Then practise the sounds in pairs.
Show the rules of sounds about e,ea/ee,ea,ei,d,dge.
Let students read all the words in 3b and try to circle the words with the sound /i?/ or /e/.
Listen to the recording and check the answers.
【设计意图】引导学生通过归纳字母和字母组合的发音规律来学习元音音素/i?/ /e/ /e?/ /??/ /a?/以及辅音音素/d/ /d?/，并能够辨别/i?/ /e/音素。

He sometimes _______ home ________ _______.
He sometimes takes the subway home.
We usually go to the Beijing______.
We usually _________ to Beijing.

go…by subway — take the subway
