教学步骤和建议
1．热身（Warm-up）
(1) 播放歌曲I went on a holiday,学生跟唱。
(2) Throwing game：同学间互相抛接一个小玩具，得玩具者必须说出一个和trip相关的单词或短语，前后不能重复。
2. 预习（Preview）
日常口语练习。
内容可参考：Where did you go on the holiday?
How far is … from …?
What’s the weather like in …?
What did you do there?
Do you like taking a trip/ hearing good news?
3. 新课呈现（Presentation）
(1) 教师：I have 2 pieces of news for you. One is good, the other one is bad. Which one do you want to listen first? 在黑板的两侧分别板书：Bad news 和Good news。接着介绍：The bad news is I was false in the examination last year. The good one is I worked hard than before then I passed the examination this year.
(2) 请学生讲几条bad news，鼓励全班大胆设想，把bad news变成good news。
如：S1: It’s rainy today, but I have no umbrella.
S2: I have a umbrella, I can go home with you.
S3: Your dad will give you a lift.
S4: You can enjoy the beautiful city in the rain.
教师鼓励学生创造性地表达，并对学生进行适时的辨证主义教育。
(3) 从学生讲述bad news引入Mike lost the suitcase这则故事。播放课文录音，学生静听两遍后，合上书本，完成Read and tick or cross练习。
(4) 学生阅读课文，教师指导。
(5) 请学生根据各自阅读情况，从课文中摘抄一些单词，每次请一位同学板书，其余学生根据这些单词抢答说一些简单的语句（可以是原文，也可以是学生自己的话）。可以通过小组竞赛的方式进行。
