Writing——How to Reply to a Letter？

Li Lian

Teaching Contents This class selects the teaching material from a formal examination, which requires students to make a reply in the form of a letter. The theme of the writing is to discuss the situation about the extracurricular reading. Compared with reading and vocabulary, students pay relatively less attention to writing in their daily practice. But actually, it is feasible for students to make some improvements in writing during a limited period. In terms of practical writing, e-mails, letters and so on, as typical examples, are frequently seen in high school English exercises, even in the college entrance examination. Thus, students should place more emphasis on this aspect.
