Note: This lesson is chosen from the extension part of Kid’s Box. There might be new vocabularies and practical sentence structures in this lesson. The topic is about keeping fit and well, it should not be new or hard for the 6th graders. We try our best to help the students with different English levels to love English and use English as much as they can and learn to live healthily. According to the students’ needs, all the teaching activities and procedures might be changed in the classroom teaching.
