精彩的课堂开头，往往给学生带来新意、亲切的感觉，不仅能使学生迅速地兴奋起来，而且还会使学生把学习当成一种自我需要，自然地进入学习新知的情景。因此，在热身的时候，首先让学生演唱歌曲：“Row, row your boat”，这样的导入能很快吸引住学生，同时还渲染了学生学习英语的良好气氛。
（二）自由会话，促进语言实际运用能力的提高
学生在一个平等尊重的氛围中，他们的思维是放松的，敢于说、敢于参与教学。因此，在Greetings这个环节，我与学生进行了朋友式的会话：“It’s time for class. Are you ready? Hello! Boys and girls. How are you? Nice to meet you.”不仅复习了旧知识，还渲染了学习英语的良好气氛。
学习歌谣This is a little girl，这项内容不作要求，让学生根据自己的情况选择学习和掌握。
