past last sing spring sea season 先讓學生根據舊單詞讀出劃線部分，然后再讀整個單詞。

這些單詞大多數拼讀較復雜，可讓學生把這些單詞先在本上抄一遍。

然后讓學生練習自己的生日，每個人說出自己的生日�？蓛扇嘶ハ鄦柎�，練習說自己的生日，父母的生日，朋友的生日等。

最后教師問學生：

讓學生根據上面填寫的表格進行對話練習：

S1: When is spring in China?

S2: It’s from March to May.

S2: It’s form June to August.

Notes:

1. We say “autumn” in Britain, and say “fall” in American English.

2. When we say four seasons, we should use preposition “in”——in spring, in summer, in autumn/fall, in winter.

3. Preposition “on”

On Monday, On Tuesday, On Wednesday, On Thursday, On Friday, On Saturday, On Sunday

4. Preposition “at”

at 6 o clock, at 120 clock, at this time of year.

然后問這個學生是否能把這些數詞變成序數詞：
