Unit 5 Problems and Advice Writing: A Letter Giving Advice 英语组

莫淑敏

Class: Class 5, Senior 1

Analysis of the Students:

This unit is about problems and advice.

In the first and second period, Students have read the main reading and learnt the related new words and expressions, which prepared them for the reading and writing on a request for advice and a reply giving advice.

In the third period, the students have read a request for advice and learnt the structure (the beginning, the body and the ending) of a request for advice and some related expressions. They also wrote a request for advice on a problem that bothers them. After their learning in the third period, they were assigned to exchange their requests with their partners, preview the letter giving advice on the text book and write a letter giving advice. Before the period, I will go through some of the students’ homework (I won’t be able to read all the letters for my class is the first one on Monday morning)and found that they’ve picked up some expressions and sentence structures from the reply giving advice from the textbook, but many of them missed one or two of the aspects(such as the subject of the letter and the request for further information) And even though the students’ description of problems and comments on the problems differ from one another, some of the students apply the newly-learnt expressions like “young as we are” “Not only…but also…” “Only when…”.

Teaching aims: after this period, students are expected to 1. learn a letter giving advice should include：a friendly remark, the subject of the matter, the details of the advice and supporting reasons, best wishes or encouraging words, and a request for further communication; learn some related expressions or sentence structures from the reply on the text book 2. develop their ability in writing letters giving advice 3. develop a more positive attitude towards problems, offering and asking for advice when needed. Teaching aids: blackboard, textbook, worksheet
