今天我们开始了新单元“美丽的自然”的学习，学生们练习了重点词汇与重点句型的阅读，并学习了重点汉字的书写。
重点词汇：太阳、月亮、星星、白云、花、树、草、地球。
重点句型：……在哪里？/……在天上。/……不……？（e.g.月亮远不远？花美不美？）。
在教学过程中，学生们观看了视频《美丽的自然》，通过歌曲的方式记忆重点词汇与句型。本节课复习了汉字“日”“月”“上”“下”“木”“虫”的书写，这些重点汉字在学生们的粉书作业上也都有出现，希望大家在练习新汉字时注意以下几点：
①记忆正确的笔画；
②在写新汉字的同时记忆汉字的读音与释义；
③完成作业后根据粉书上的图片/英文来检验自己是否已经真正掌握了新汉字的发音与写法。
Today, we began our new unit The Beauty of Nature. The students practised reading the key vocabulary and sentence structures and learned how to write the target Chinese characters.
Key vocabulary: sun（太阳）, moon（月亮）, stars（星星）, white clouds（白云）, flowers（花）, trees（树）, grass（草）, Earth（地球）.
Key sentence patterns: Where is ...（……在哪里）? / ... is in the sky.（……在天上） / Is ... (adjective)（……不……）?(e.g. Is the moon far away（月亮远不远）? Are the flowers beautiful（花美不美）?)
During the lesson, the students watched the video The Beauty of Nature, which helped them memorise the key vocabulary and sentence patterns through a song. In this lesson, we also reviewed the writing of the characters “日” (sun), “月” (moon), “上” (up), “下” (down), “木” (tree/wood), and “虫” (insect). These key characters also appear in the students’ pink workbook tasks.
When practising the new characters, please pay attention to the following points:
Remember the correct stroke order.
Try to memorise the pronunciation and meaning while writing the characters.
After completing the exercises, use the pictures or English translations in the pink workbook to check whether you have truly mastered the pronunciation and writing of the new characters.
