教學步驟
Step 1 Revision
老師可先做Duty Report， 除規定的內容外，必須讓值日生回答以下幾個問題： What day is it today / tomorrow？What day was it yesterday? What is the date today / tomorrow? What was the date yesterday? 然后將答案（完全形式和縮略形式）寫在黑板上，并讓學生視聽，初步了解英文日期的表達與中文順序的不同。然后全班問學生幾個問題：What day is our National Day? October 1st. / Oct.1st. Which month is the Spring Festival in? Usually in February. Who / Whose mother / Whose father was born in February / April / May / September / October? 最好先找幾個學生是在已學過的這幾個月份出生的，或他們的父母是在這幾個月份出生的，這樣可先復習學過的幾個月份。按季節做以下表格。先填出學過的季節和月份。學完生詞后填滿表格。
Step 2 Presentation
Learn and practise
Today we’ll study the first month, the third month, the sixth month, the seventh month, the eighth month, and the eleventh month of the year.
以下單詞符合發音規律，請同學們自己拼讀, 應該不會有太大的困難。
March June July
以下單詞可遷移
autumn August February January September November, December
past last sing spring sea season 先讓學生根據舊單詞讀出劃線部分，然后再讀整個單詞。
這些單詞大多數拼讀較復雜，可讓學生把這些單詞先在本上抄一遍。
然后讓學生練習自己的生日，每個人說出自己的生日。可兩人互相問答，練習說自己的生日，父母的生日，朋友的生日等。
最后教師問學生：
T: How many months are there in a year?
Students: There are twelve months in a year.
T: What are they? Can you say them in English?
Ss: They are January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December.
讓學生填滿表格。
Ask and answer
T: There are four seasons in a year. They are spring, slimmer, autumn and winter. Do you know when spring/summer/autumn/winter is in China?
讓學生根據上面填寫的表格進行對話練習：
S1: When is spring in China?
S2: It’s from March to May.
S1: When is summer in China?
S2: It’s form June to August.
… …
Notes:
1. We say “autumn” in Britain, and say “fall” in American English.
2. When we say four seasons, we should use preposition “in”--in spring, in summer, in autumn/fall, in winter.
3. Preposition “on”
On Monday, On Tuesday, On Wednesday, On Thursday, On Friday, On Saturday, On Sunday
4. Preposition “at”
at 6 o clock, at 120 clock, at this time of year.
5. Preposition “in”
in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening.

T: Do you remember the cardinal numbers that we have learnt before?
Let’s count them from one to thirty - one. OK! Could you please write them down in your note - books? Who wants to write the cardinal numbers on due blackboard?
要一個學生來寫下以前所學的數詞：
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve … twenty-one … thirty thirty-one
然后問這個學生是否能把這些數詞變成序數詞：
first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, … twenty-first … thirtieth, thirty-first
讓學生注意黑體字顯示的特殊變化。

Step 7 Exercises in class
Listening practice.
Listen to a story and try to answer the following questions.
Everybody talks about weather. “Isn’t it a nice day?” “Do you think it will rain?” I think it s going to snow. These are common ways of starting a conversation in England.
Many people think that they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But they hardly ever agree with each other. One man may say, “Do you see it is cloudy in the east? It’s going to rain tomorrow.” Another man will say, “Yes, it’s cloudy in the east. We’re going to have fine weather tomorrow.”
People often look for the weather they want. When farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell himself that it's going to rain. When people play in a park on a rainy day, they are sure that the weather is going to be fine soon. They even sit eating their lunch while it rains.
Most people listen to what the weatherman says on the radio. But he doesn’t always tell them what they want to hear. Sometimes he makes a mistake, but he is still right more often than anyone else.
Questions.
1. How do English people start a conversation?
2. Do many of them think they can tell what the weather is going to be like?
3. Why do they hardly agree with each other?
4. What kind of weather do people think it’s going to be if they go out to play in a park in the rain?
5. Who is right more often about the weather?
Keys:
1. They usually talk about the weather.
2.Yes, they do.
3. Because each of them is so sure of himself that only he knows about the weather.
4. They think it s going to be fine.
5. The weatherman is.
Step 8 Homework
1. Make up a new dialogue according to Exercise Three.
2. Write about the weather of four seasons in China.
3. Read the text fluently and try to recite it.
4. Review Checkpoint 11 and the whole unit.
5. Go over disjunctive questions.
