Step 1 Presentation
Do you know what is called the Christmas of China? The Spring Festival. Yes. The oldest and most important festival in China is the Spring Festival. Each country and each nation has its own festivals. Today we are going to learn something about the different festivals.
（三）教学过程
Step 2 Warming up
1 Get the students to look at the pictures and discuss the questions. There will be some festivals together with their pictures to be shown. You just try your best to introduce these festival to us.
Answers: Picture 1: Halloween USA and Europe Trick or treating?
Picture 2: Obon Japan Floating paper lanterns
Picture 3: Day of the Dead Mexico Lighting candles for prayers to the dead
2 Work in pairs. Compare a Chinese festival with one from another country. If you don’t know of any festivals from other countries, you can ask me for ideas. And then fill in the form
Step 3 Listening comprehension
　Now let s have some listening training. Listen to the tape and finish the exercises.
LISTENING TEXTS:
1 "Throw me something, Mister! Throw me something, Mister!" Thousands of people are waiting for the pa¬rade to pass them by and for someone to throw them a cup, some beads, or some candy. Welcome to New Orleans, USA. Welcome to Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras is a holiday celebrated in the South of the U.S. The name of the festival, Mardi Gras, is French and means "Fat Tuesday". Mardi Gras is celebrated on a Tues¬day between February 3 and March 9, always 47 days before Easter Sunday. During Mardi Gras, people like to dress up in colourful and unusual costumes, and of course, watch parades in the streets. The official colours of Mardi Gras are purple, green and gold. Mardi Gras is celebrated for two weeks before Fat Tuesday and people from all over the world come to watch the festival.
2 Ramadan is one of the most important festivals for Muslims. The name of the festival comes from the Arabic month in which it is celebrated. Ramadan is celebrated in countries all over the world, especially in Africa and the Middle East. The time for celebrat¬ing Ramadan varies each year. People celebrate it in the ninth month of the Arabic lunar calendar. During Ramadan, people must not eat during the day: from when the sun comes up to when the sun goes down, people celebrating Ramadan will not eat or smoke. When the sun has gone down, however, the celebra¬tion begins. People often stay up all night eating, sing¬ing and dancing.
3 In late spring, many people around the world cel¬ebrate Easter. The festival is a celebration of spring and it is also a religious holiday. It is the time for Easter bunnies and egg hunts, and of course for eat¬ing lots of delicious foods. Easter is celebrated in late March or early April but the exact dates are dif¬ferent from year to year. People celebrate Easter in different ways: in some countries, the Easter Bunny - a big rabbit - will visit and children will go on egg hunts, looking for eggs and candy that have been hidden by their parents. In other countries, Easter is a time for children to dress up like witches and go from door to door asking for candy __ much like Halloween in the US. The Easter Bunny and Easter Egg are popular symbols of the festival.
Answers for Mardi Gras: 1B 2 A 3 A for Ramadan: 1B 2 A 3 A for Easter: 1B 2 B 3 C
Step 4 Speaking practice
　Work in groups of four and discuss why your holiday is the best one.
Sample discussion
A: OK, I will begin. We need to decide what the new holiday will be. I think that the new holiday should be a Peace Day. On this day, no fighting or conflicts are allowed. People will learn and talk about peace. The holiday will be celebrated on the second Sun¬day in January. I think this is the best idea because nothing is more important than peace.
B: That's a good idea, but I think we should create a Happiness Day instead. If people are happy, there won't be any wars or fights. We should celebrate Hap¬piness Day on the shortest, darkest day of the winter, because many people feel unhappy when it's cold and the sun doesn't shine. People will celebrate by doing something that makes another person happy, for example, helping them do something or giving them a card or a small gift. Most important, people should smile and laugh a lot on Happiness Day.
C: I like your ideas, but I would like to suggest some¬thing different. Why don't we have a Friendship Day? If people have friends and are friendly to each other, they will be happy and they won't fight. I think that we should celebrate Friendship Day the first day of every- month. If we do this, we will start each month in a friendly way. We can learn about how to make and keep friends and how to solve prob¬lems together. People will celebrate Friendship Day by making new friends and spending the day together with their friends.
D: Well, perhaps we shouldn't be so selfish. Peace, hap¬piness and friendship are important to us, to human beings, but what about the rest of the planet? We mustn't forget about nature, the environment and the animals. On this day, which we will celebrate on the first day of spring, people will not pollute and they will learn more about nature. We should also plant trees and do something for our animal friends. I think that we will be happier, friendlier and more peaceful if we learn to take better care of our planet. Why not have a Nature Day? (The discussion continues.)

LISTENING TEXT:
Part 1
It was two days before the Christmas holiday. Our teacher asked us to write about the best Christmas we had ever had. Before we started writing, we discussed the ,topic in groups.
MIKE: The best thing about Christmas is the gifts! I always write a long wish list. This year I want a new basketball, a pair of shoes, a CD, a guitar, a ...
SHAWN: Oh, come on Mike, that's not what Christ¬mas is about. It's true we like to get and give gifts, but don't you like to get together with your family?
MIKE: Oh, yeah, I love the dinner. We always have lots of great food: turkey and chocolate pie. Oh, and...
LAURA: Mike! That's enough. I think what SHA WN means is that Christmas is a time to be to¬gether with your family and friends. Now, SHAWN, what's your favourite Christmas memory?
SHAWN : My favourite Christmas was when I was eight years old. My grandparents came two days before Christmas Day and we went skat¬ing on the lake together. On Christmas Eve, we had a picnic in the snow by the lake. It was great!
Part 2
SHAWN: What about you, LAURA? What's your favourite Christmas memory?
LAURA: My favourite Christmas was last year. My dad had been away for three months, work¬ing in another city. Mum and I were very sad, because he had called and told us that he wouldn't be able to come home for Christ¬mas. We tried to make the best of it. Mum and I invited our grandparents and we had dinner together. In the evening, we called dad and talked for a long time. I could hear that. dad was very sad, too, though he tried to sound happy.
SHAWN: That doesn't sound like a good Christmas at all. Why do you say that it's your favourite Christmas?
LAURA: Well, because of what happened later. My dad returned in March. I was in school the day he arrived, and mum hadn't told me that he was coming. When I got home from school, our house was decorated with Christ¬mas lights and even some snow. I ran into the house and there was a big Christmas tree in the living room. Mum and Dad were wait¬ing for me and we had a great Christmas party that evening. That was the best Christmas ever - even if it wasn't really Christmas at all.
MIKE: Now I understand what you mean when you say that Christmas is not just about getting gifts.
Suggested answers to the exercises:
Part 1: IC 2A 3B 4C
Part 2: 1 Laura's father was working in another city.
2 They invited Laura's grandparents and tried to make the best of the situation.
3 Laura' s father came home and arranged a surprise Christmas party.
Step 3 Talking practice
Step 4 Sample talking
A: OK, let's begin. We are going on a holiday together and we have to decide where to go and what to do. Let each of us tell the group where we want to go and why: Can you start, please?
B: Yes. I think that the best way to celebrate is to have dinner at a restaurant and then go singing because we should have some fun. A holiday is a good time to eat together and we all like singing, so I think this is what we should do. And, if we eat at a restaurant, we don't have to cook or wash dishes.
D: I agree that we should have fun, but I'm not so sure that going to a restaurant is such a good idea. I think we should stay home and invite our friends and fam¬ily to dinner. We should spend our holiday at home, with the people we love, not go out to some restau¬rant. Besides, cooking together is fun and we can make dumplings and help each other do the dishes.
C Well, I think we should go on a trip to Mt Taishan and go hiking in the mountain. We don't have that many chances to go on a trip, so I think we should go now. We would get some exercise and some fresh air, and we would see all the wonderful sights.
A: But that's too expensive. I like the idea of spending the holiday outdoors, but we don't have to travel that far. The buses and train_ are going to be crowded, anyway, and we won't be able to enjoy the trip. Why don't we go to the park and have a picnic. If we have a picnic, we can enjoy a good meal and nature at the same time, and we may meet some interesting people. It's not as expensive as travelling or going to a res¬taurant, and it's more fun than staying at home.
B: Well, let's see. I want to go to a restaurant, you want to have dinner at home, you want to go on a trip and you want to have a picnic in the park. So, we all want to eat, right?
(B summarizes the discussion and the students continue the discussion, trying to find the best possible compro¬mise or solution.)

Step 7 Sample writng
Dear Julie:
Thank you for your letter. I will try to help you. ,I can tell you about the Spring Festival in China. The Spring F es¬tival is the biggest festival in China. It is usually cel¬ebrated in early February, but the actual dates are dif¬ferent every year. The reason why the dates are different is that the Festival is based on a different calendar, the lunar calendar. The Spring Festival/begins on the day before the new year in this calendar and lasts for 15 days. The most important day is New Years Day. Fami¬lies get together on New Year’s Eve and have a big meal. During the festival, we visit friends and have fun to¬gether. Most parents give their children a red envelope with some money in it. People celebrate the festival to welcome the new year and to show their love for their family and friends. In my family, we enjoy preparing for the festival. We cook together and we each have a spe¬cial task. My job is to put up the traditional scrolls. These are two large, red pieces of paper with a Spring Festi¬val poem written on them. I put one on each side of our front door. I have many happy memories of the Spring Festival - it is a happy time of the year and I always enjoy 'spending time with my family. I hope this will help you write about the Spring Festival.
Sincerely,
Xiaojun
Picture 1 (Yuanxiao, Chinese Lantern Festival)
The Lantern Festival is celebrated on the 15th day of the flfst year of the Chinese lunar calendar. The festival ends the New Year's celebration. It is a fun festival. People carry lanterns and go into the streets at night to watch lion or dragon dances, play games and light fire¬crackers. Yuanxiao, a sweet dumpling made of rice flour, is the traditional food eaten during the festival. In Chi¬nese, the festival is named after the dumpling, which is said to represent family unity and happiness (because it is sticky, round and sweet).
Picture 2 (Dai Water-Sprinkling Festival)
The Dai minority in Yunnan celebrate the Water-Sprin¬kling Festival in the middle of April. The festival cel¬ebrates the Dai Lunar New Year and lasts for three days. There are dragon races and fireworks displays on the flfst day and a fair on the second day. At the fair, young lovers throw love pouches to each other. The third day is the actual water-sprinkling day; people splash water on each other to wash away illnesses and bad luck and bring good luck for the coming year.
Picture 3 (Dragon Boat Festival)
Hundreds of beautifully decorated dragon boast take to river to celebrate the memory of the great poet Qu Yuan.
In rivers across the country, dragon races are held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar. The festival is also a time to eat Zongzi, a traditional dish of rice and fruit wrapped in bamboo leaves. Ac¬cording to the story of Qu Yuan, people would throw Zongzi into the water so that the fish would eat the rice instead of the poet. The festival is also celebrated to protect people from bad luck and illnesses. Healthy herbs are sometimes hung on the front door and nutritious drinks are prepared. Some people believe that if an egg is balanced on its end at exactly 12:00 noon, it means that the coming year will be good.
Picture 4 (Losar, Tibetan New Year)
Losar, or the Tibetan New Year, is celebrated on the 25th day of the 10th month of the Tibetan calendar. The festival lasts for a week and is a time for giving thanks. On the last day of the year, people clean their houses and prepare for the new year. On the 29th day of the last month, houses are cleaned, washed and painted as part of the Gutor festival. At dawn on New Year's Day, Ti¬betans go to visit holy places and hang flags over their homes. Many families will go for picnics and visit friends and family. The festival lasts well over two weeks, but the first four days are for small family feasts. When the family gathers at home for the New Year cel¬ebration, they eat a special bread called tab-zan.
