Watch a video

T: Let’s watch a short video first.

T: We see many places of interest in the video. Do you want to see them with your own eyes? Do you like travelling/traveling?

T: Most of you love travelling. Eddie and Hobo love travelling too. They’re planning a holiday now. Let’s listen to their conversation and find out where they’re going.

【设计意图：通过视频导入本单元的主题Travelling，介绍travelling/traveling两种拼写方法，然后过渡到Eddie和Hobo的出游计划，引出课本漫画部分的内容。】

1. Listen and answer

  (1) Where is Eddie going?

  (2) Does Hobo want to go too?

  (3) What does Hobo want to bring?

2. Watch and discuss

  (1) Why does Eddie agree to take Hobo?

  (2) Why doesn’t Eddie think it will be a holiday for him?

【设计意图：通过简单的听、说训练，让学生了解漫画的内容，然后通过讨论更深一层的问题，让学生找到笑点，活跃课堂气氛。】

1. Listen and repeat

T: Now let’s read after the tape. Pay attention to your pronunciation and intonation.
