Teaching aids: blackboard、PPT、chalk Analysis of the students and the contents: The students in this period of class are in Senior Three. They perform quite well in English study. As they have studied in senior middle school for nearly three years and they are going to take the College Entrance Examinations, they have learnt and practiced a lot about writing in English. Besides, they have also learnt enough vocabularies and expressions to help them with their writing. Up to now, different kinds of writings are familiar to them, including letters of advice. So they have some knowledge of letters of advice. However, they never have a clear idea of how to write such a letter and don’t know how to make their letter better either. So in this lesson, they are going to get a clear idea of how to write a letter of advice.

The letter of advice is a quite important form of practical writings in our daily life. So it makes this period of class quite necessary. Students can not only learn how to put the expressions they have learnt before into their writing but also combine what they can learn in class with their daily life. It is also an essential part in the College Entrance Examinations. Students are going to be interested in it. Teaching procedures:

follows these suggestions.

Step 5: finish the letter and express wishes. Teaching reflection: In this period of class, generally speaking, the students have got what they should get. Most of the students are involved in the class, especially the girls. It seems that girls are much braver than boys when it comes to practising spoken English. So boys may need much more encouragement to show themselves. Students may need more chances to show themselves in daily teching and daily life. According to the performance of the students, most of them can have a good understanding of the content. They get to know the basic steps in writing a letter of advice. Besides, the content is quite familiar in their daily life, so they have more things to talk about. However, using proper language in proper place is not easy for them, which is a difficult point.and needs much more practice. I should pay special attention to this part. I hope I will improve myself to be a better teacher.
