resolutions through multimedia and asks students, "What can you see in these
pictures/videos? Do you know what people usually do at the beginning of a
new year?" Guide students to think and answer, leading to the topic of New
Year's resolutions in this lesson.
Let students share their experiences of making New Year's resolutions. Briefly
describe the content of the plans they made. Create a relaxed classroom

"hobby", "promise", etc. Help students understand the meanings of the words
through pictures, English explanations, or example sentences. For example,
show a picture of people exercising in the gym to explain "physical health"; use
the example sentence "He made a promise to himself to study harder." to
explain "promise".
Lead students to read the vocabulary and phrases and correct their
pronunciations. Then play a vocabulary game called "Word Chain". The teacher
says a word, such as "resolution", and students take turns to say a new word
starting with the last letter of the previous word, like "hobby", "youth", etc., to
help students consolidate their vocabulary memory.

skills.

Explain the sentence structures and grammar knowledge to help students
understand the article content. At the same time, guide students to pay

the discussion and record the results.
After the group discussions, each group selects a representative to speak and
share the group's discussion results with the whole class. Students from other
