By getting students to find out Zhao Li's achievements and details from the interview, their listening skill was practiced. But there were problems. Some students had a hard time with difficult details. When leading them to talk about making interests into lifelong jobs, the interaction wasn't great. Next time, we should get ready for the hard parts of the listening first. For example, we can give students more time to think, or add some discussion examples to make them more interested. These methods will make teaching better and help students understand the listening and the topic more easily.第四课时　Reading for writingTeaching Objects　【教学目标】1.Talk about the “time-eating monsters” in your life, such as video games, social media, and TV shows.2.Know how the time-eating monster affect people’s lives.3.Write a short paragraph about not having fun properly.Teaching Aids　【教学工具】an English book，a tape recorder and CAITeaching Steps　【教学步骤】★Step 1　Lead in【情景导入】Ask students to answer the question:What activities do you usually do in your spare time?★Step 2　Pre-task【准备任务】Page 60，11.Show the pictures of exercise 1 on page 60 to students, then ask them to answer the following questions.①What activities can you see in the pictures?②How much time do you spend on these activities each week?③How may they affect your life?2.Show the expressions to help students.social media TV shows miss outget lost in eat away one's time3.Ask students to share their answers with the class.★Step 3　While-task【过程任务】Page 60，21.Ask students to read the passage, then answer the question.How does the time-eating monster affect people's lives?2.Ask students to share their answers with the class.3.Check the right answer with the class.Page 62，3Ask students to read the passage and complete the notes with the words andexpressions from the passage.2.Let some students say their answers.3.Check the answers with the class.Page 62，41.Ask students to answer the questions.①Why does the writer describe the problem as “the time-eating monster”?②What other expressions can you think of to describe the problem?2.Let some students say their answers.3.Check the answers with the class.★Step 4　Post-task【后续任务】Page 62，Think and share1.Ask students to think and share:①Which “time-eating monsters” might be in people’s pockets, in their livingrooms, or on their desks?②Why do you think we like these “time-eating monsters” so much?③Do you think people spend more time on these “monsters” nowadays?Why or why not?2.Give students some prompts.3.Let some students share their answers and check the answers with them.Page 63，51.Ask students to write a short paragraph about not having fun properly.2.Give them some prompts.Ask them to answer the questions.What fun activity do you like to do?When you don’t have fun properly, how can it be harmful?What can you do to solve the problem?3.Ask students to write their paragraph with the help of the questions.4.Ask students to check their paragraph as follows:Did you include problems and solutions?Did you use the expressions from the reading passage?Did you give your opinion about having fun properly?5.Ask some students to share their paragraph with the class. ★Step 5　Language points　【语言要点】1.The time-eating monster吞噬时间的怪兽本文使用了比喻的修辞手法，将游戏、社交媒体和电视节目这些生活中非常容易让人沉迷的事物比喻为怪兽，因为它们占据了我们生活中的大量时间。通过比喻的修辞手法，文章显得更生动形象，读者能更加直观地认识到过度沉迷于屏幕的危害，从而以更加理智和健康的方式去享受生活，并勇敢地与这个“吞噬时间的怪兽”抗争。2.
