Starter Unit 1 Hello!
单元内容：
本教材的过渡单元旨在搭建小学与初中英语学习的桥梁，帮助学生顺利进入正式单元的学习。本单元是过渡部分的第一单元，主要教学内容是复习小学已经学过的打招呼的用语，以及26个英文字母的读音及其拼写。本单元围绕“打招呼”这一主题展开，该主题与课标要求的“人与社会”主题范畴中“良好的人际关系与人际交往”“跨文化沟通与交流”两个子话题密切相关，通过两个引导性问题搭建Section A和Section B的内容逻辑。Section A聚焦打招呼的方式，探究问题是“How do you greet people ”，此部分展示了两个场景:一是在开学第一天的早晨，学生在新学校门口互相打招呼;二是在课堂上英语教师Ms Gao引导学生互相问好、互相认识，这两个场景呈现了常见的问候语以及询问姓名的表达法。Section B以问题“How do you start a conversation ”为引领，在Section A的基础上进一步拓展，巩固运用打招呼、询问名字，以及告别的功能表达，不仅要求学生灵活使用不同的问候语开启对话，还让学生尝试与新同学和老朋友开展完整对话。本单元不仅要求学生掌握与打招呼、认识新朋友相关的交际用语，还鼓励他们主动交朋友，学会礼貌地问候、询问名字、告别，增进与新同学和老师的了解，积极融入初中生活，建立良好的人际关系。
本单元和后面两个过渡单元还承担着铺设本套教材主线人物的作用，这三个单元里出现的主线人物包括Peter、Fu Xing、Teng Fei、Wang Yaming、Emma、Ella、Helen、Ms Gao等。本单元还通过 Section A中书写主线人物名字的活动、语音板块的认读字母和专有名词的字母缩写，以及听、唱歌谣等活动，帮助学生复习26个英文字母，单元末尾的项目活动(*Project)中的查词典活动，是英文字母顺序在实际生活中运用的实例。这个活动可以帮助学生巩固和掌握26个英文字母及其顺序，同时也帮助他们学会查词典，从而能扩展学习资源，拓展语言运用意识，提升自主学习能力。

（1）初步认识本套教材的主线人物、熟悉他们的外貌特征，并正确说出他们的名字；
