整体设计
教材分析
This is the last teaching period of this unit, so the emphasis should be placed on going over and summarizing what has been learned in this unit. It includes the following parts: Summing up, Learning tip, and assessment and consolidation exercises.
Summing up summarizes the whole contents of this unit from the aspects of topics, vocabulary and grammar. The teacher can first use this part to let students sum up what they have learned and then explain what students couldn’t understand very well in this unit. An experienced teacher should design some additional exercises for students to do in order that they can learn to use and grasp all the contents.
Learning Tip encourages students to form a good habit of keeping a diary. This will help them not only remember past events and express their feelings and thoughts in it but also practice and improve their English if they write diaries in English. So make sure that students have a try.
In this period, the teacher can also provide more practices to consolidate what students have learned in this unit.
Finally, ask students to finish Checking yourself on Page 47 in the Workbook. This part aims at encouraging students to make a self-assessment after they finish learning this unit. It is very important to improve their learning. Of course, a testing assessment is also needed.

Chinese students celebrate their birthdays in different ways, but the most common way is to hold a birthday party, at which friends get together to have fun drinking, singing and dancing. On the birthday, one usually receives nice gifts and good wishes from friends and parents. Sometimes, parents will prepare a special dinner or a cake to show their love for their children.
Since birthday celebration is one of the important activities in one’s life, it can be done in more meaningful ways. For example, we can buy some flowers or cook a delicious meal for our mothers on that day. In this way, we express thanks to our parents in return for their love.
