   发散学生的思维，激活学生的已知，学习 wait for presents (板书)

(3)齐读。
6. 解读第四幅图

T:What does early mean?A or B?（板书wake up early）

T:Can you use “First, Next, Then, Finally” to describe these actions?
组长汇报S：First, they wake up early. Next, they open their presents. Then they have a big lunch. Finally, they have a good time.
(2)文化渗透：正像中国人过春节吃年夜饭一样，西方人过圣诞节时，全家人会共进节日美餐。在传统的圣诞大餐，烤火鸡是不可缺少的菜式。圣诞节吃火鸡的习俗盛行于美国，圣诞大餐的另一部分是甜点，如饼干、蛋糕、布丁等。
