Distinguished judges and teachers:
Hello, everyone. I'm a junior high school English teacher, candidate x, and the topic I'm trying to talk about today is How Often Do You Exercise? Now let me begin my trial lecture.
Step 1: Lead - in
T: Good morning! Boys and girls, welcome to my class. How was your weekend?
S:...
T: I'm glad you had a good weekend. Let's start today's class with a video. (Play a video about people doing various exercises)
T: After watching the video, what did you see people doing?
S: They were running, swimming, playing basketball...
T: Right. People do different kinds of exercises. And that leads us to our topic today - how often do you exercise?
Step 2: Presentation
T: Look at the pictures on the PPT. (Show pictures of different exercises) What are these people doing?
S: They are dancing, lifting weights, playing tennis...
T: Good. Now, let's learn some new words related to exercise frequency. (Write the words on the blackboard: always, usually, often, sometimes, hardly ever, never)
T: Can you tell me what these words mean? Let's have a try.
S: Always means every time, usually means most of the time...
T: Great. Now read the text and answer the questions: How often does the author exercise? What kind of exercise does the author like?
T: Time's up. Who wants to answer?
S: The author exercises three times a week. The author likes running.
T: Correct.
Step 3: Practice
T: Let's do a pair - work activity. One student asks the other how often they do a certain exercise. You have five minutes to practice.
T: (After five minutes) Which pair wants to show us your conversation?
S1: How often do you play volleyball?
S2: I sometimes play volleyball.
T: Very good.
Step 4: Production
T: Now, it's time for a group project. I want you to make a survey in your group about how often your group members exercise and what kind of exercises they like. Then make a report and present it to the class. You have ten minutes.
T: (After ten minutes) Which group wants to present first?
Group 1: In our group, Tom always plays basketball. Lily sometimes dances. And I usually run...
T: Excellent.
Step 5: Summary
T: Today, we learned about different exercise frequencies and talked about our own exercise habits.
T: What have you learned today?
S: We learned words like always, usually... and how to ask and answer about exercise frequency.
T: Right.
Step 6: Homework
T: After class, make a weekly exercise plan for yourself. Next class, we'll share your plans.
T: Class is over. See you next time.
