Step 1. Review and Lead - in (5 minutes)
Use PPT to show some pictures related to holidays. Let students describe the content
of the pictures using the vocabulary and sentence patterns for describing holiday
activities learned in the previous lesson, reviewing the knowledge learned in the last

there.”
Randomly select students and ask them some basic concepts about describing holiday
activities, such as the formation of the simple past tense and common irregular verb
past forms, to check students' understanding.

Present the sentences in Grammar Focus and guide students to observe the structure
of the simple past tense, summarizing the formation rules of regular and irregular

Let students do simple sentence - making exercises, using the simple past tense to

and give more examples.
Show some short passages about holiday experiences. Let students read and find out
the sentences in the simple past tense, analyze their structures and expressed
meanings. Then, let students answer questions according to the content of the
passages to cultivate their reading comprehension ability. For example, for the
passage “Last summer, I went to a small village. I visited my grandparents there. We
