2.　　　 Writing “ Arrangements for hike next week” (the students must use in, on, at, next to write about the time)

Notes:

　 练习是巩固知识点的有效途经，给学生时间做所订练习册上的基础题，主要是关注中差生学习的反馈情况。第四部分题目仅仅是将来时态的练习，很简单，我没有放在课堂上做，而是作为回家作业让中差生做,第二天上交老师检查。课堂上可只对他们进行口头问答，增强他们的自信心。第五部分学生完全可以在没有准备的情况下口头来做。同时作为训练可以给学生提供另外一个关于活动的表格让学生来写作，他们自然会利用原文进行参照。

1.　　　 Read the exercises done today.

5. Allow the students some time to finish the notice on page 83.
