小学英语开学第一课
Step 1 Enjoy Life
At the beginning of our class, I wish you a Happy New Year and success in your study.
All of you look great. So you must have had a good time during the Spring Festival. Could you share your happiness with us?
Now sit in groups of four and tell the other 3 deskmates what made you smile. You can speak in turn. But you must speak in English. If you have troubles, just raise your hands.
压岁钱：money given to children as a lunar New Year gift
放烟火：light fireworks
Who want to speak out your happiness, sharing it with all of us?
You are so lovely and life is so beautiful. So first I hope you can enjoy life, even though you’ll face difficulties.
Step 2 A better understanding of cultures
In addition to the Grammys, there are two other big events in this week. What are they?
Why is it called Valentine’s Day instead of lovers’day?
I’ve prepared a passage introducing the festival to you.
Now we know people observe Valentine’s Day not only to show love, but also to remind people of whoever devoted themselves to making the world more beautiful.
So learning English is a good way to have a better understanding of different cultures. You are sure to have chances to communicate with foreigners, so please introduce Yuanxiao Festival to foreigners. Let’s translate the passage into English, paragraph by paragraph.
Step 3 Requirements for the new term
You should put your heart into learning English, enjoying English. Thus, you’ll enjoy your life!。
