Teaching Procedures Tips
Step 1 Warming up
Game: Exchange the information
Step 1: Prepare the following information about yourself:
1. one physical trait that you used to have when you were younger
2. one personality trait that you used to have
3. one hobby that you used to like
Step 2: You will be divided into several groups. Give a name to your
group.
Step 3: Your groups will be paired up, e.g. Group A with B, C with D.
Step 4: Each of you need to interview one S from other group and find out
the information you have prepared.
Step 5: Go back to your group and exchange information with others.
(Attention: Tell Ss that when one S shares the information, other
person needs to take notes.T will pick a few Ss to share what they
have learned and will ask for confirmation from those who have
1supplied the information.)
Step 2 Presentation & Practice
Grammar Focus
Ask Ss to read the sentences in the chart.
Show Ss PPT P10, ask them find out more sentences that
contain “used to” in Section A.

态（强调与现在的对比，暗示现在不做了）。其中to为不定式符

used to be afraid of and two others they are still afraid of. Their
partners may also wish to use these new items.
Step 3 Summary & Homework
Summary
Ask Ss to do the exercises from PPT P25-26.
Homework
Preview Section B 1a-1d.
Do the exercises in students’ book.
We always learn grammar when we have enough language knowledge. When dealing
with grammar, we can get the students to conclude or sum up what they have learned in
Teaching
this unit and then learn the structure and the pattern drills. After they learn the main
Reflection
structure in the grammar focus frame, the students should practice in different activities.
And we’d better give them some written work after speaking and reading.
