Cultural awareness: Explore different ways people around the world spend holidays and recognize the common value of rest and family bonding during holidays. 3.

Learning ability: Independently build vocabulary networks through word association and collaborate in small groups to share personal holiday experiences. Teaching Key points: Use key holiday-related vocabulary to form meaningful phrases and complete short texts; grasp the basic structure of diary writing (date, weather, activities, feelings, reflections). Teaching Difficult points: Analyze the structure of a holiday passage logically, identify main ideas and supporting details, and summarize diverse holiday practices systematically.
