This is the first lesson of this unit. Before this class, the teacher have taught the students vocabulary in Warm-up and Lesson 1.
The reading passage titled FESTIV ALS briefly describes three traditional festivals of China. Such a topic is closely related to students’ life, thus it is very easy to arouse their interest in learning this lesson. The text covers 3 sections.

In order not to let students feel much difficult, the teacher should deal with any language problems while they are reading. After reading, students are required to do the exercises in the each step to see how much they have understood the reading passage. The teacher can let them work in pairs or in groups to find the answers cooperatively, and then check their answers with the whole class.
