介绍:
Let's start by studying some new vocabulary in Section 2.
There are many types of anniversaries, actually..
What are some activities we can do to celebrate?
Usually in English we say, "Have a parade"
Does your city have parades?
My city has parades ALL THE TIME... we have a parade every month during the summer, sometimes more.
Yes, my city has parades during important festivals.
No, my city has few parades.
That's good, James. I'm jealous!
Yes, the parades are mostly for the little kids.
What other things could we add to these categories?
What other special food and drinks do we have, for example?
Classic Chinese examples
Tangyuan is maybe ... "sweet rice dumplings"
Are there any other activities that people can do?
The key is to say "fewer" or "fewer and fewer"
These days, there are fewer and fewer activities that people do to celebrate.
There are fewer activities that people do to celebriate than before.
Common American activities are like the Easter Egg Hunt,
This is a perfect way to start studying today's grammar!
"express"
Let's go on to part B ... it's a bit more exciting.
Winter is the season ...
We call that "hibernate"
Winter is the season when many of the animals hibernate.
And the last one today!
What are birthdays for?
I think you have the idea, yes?
This grammar is quite useful, actually..
We'll study it more later, but it can also be used to describe people!
Who is he?
He's the guy that talked to me last week.
Who is Bob?
Bob is the guy who sold me a car last year.
Your homework for tonight is to do Section 6
"Choose your three favorite holidays. Tell your partner why you like each one."
