Teaching    Aids : Computer , Paper

Language   Points :  leave out; wish

Time :45 minutes

T : Class begins! Good morning , boys and girls ! ( Ss respond )

T : Yesterday, we took up a new grammar point . And we know that as for the restrictive attributive clause, the extra information is necessary, while for the non-restrictive attributive clause ,the extra information can be left out. Do you know “leave out”  ( Ss respond ) Right !It means “omit” or “exclude”, 省略，遗漏。But please don’t leave out the comma in a non-restrictive attributive clause .

Step 2 :  Do the exercises on Page 41( 8mins)

T :  Well ,now let’s do some practice .Turn to Page 41 .Look at the exercises in the middle .Do you know how to add  some information to the sentences here , using who ,whose ,which or when to form attributive clause . Have you prepared for it beforehand ?  ( Ss respond ) For example , the first one ,I may do like this :I finish reading the book which my father gave me for my birthday last night .Here ,no comma, because the information I want to tell is necessary. How about the second sentence ? Who wants to try ? If you use a comma ,read it out ,OK? ( Ss respond ) ( 教参P130 ) … Sentence3,4,5…

T : OK ,please turn to Page 118. Have you done the exercises as I told you yesterday? ( Ss respond ) Good ! You all study diligently ! (Or: Try to finish your homework in time next time !) OK, let’s have a look at them. Before joining the two sentences together , you should first know what each sentence means ,then try to find out what the pronoun in the second sentence refers to . That is, which part in the first sentence does the pronoun in the second one substitute for ? Understand ? ( Ss respond )(If the students don’t understand , explain in Chinese )Look at the example , “it” refers to “the store”, so we put the attributive clause after “the store”, which it modifies .Clear ? ( Ss respond) Good !

Sentence 1, who would like to have a try ? ( Ss respond )Thank you ! You’ve done a good job !The bus which\that often takes the children to school ,is owned by the company . How about Sentence 2 ?..( 教参 P136 )

T: OK, so much for Exercise 1 .Please do Exercise 2 by yourself .I will give you the answers after class .

1.lead in

2.Introduce a thank-you letter and analyze the example letter.

3.Some useful expression

T:I think you all have good manners ,if you are given something ,you should say  ( Ss respond ) “Thank you !” Yeah ! And if we visit a friend’s house , we should at least telephone to say  “Thank you !” the next day. But if we have time ,we’d better write a  ( Ss respond )Exactly! Thank-you letter!That would be a more formal way to express our gratitude or thanks to our friends. Now turn to Page 41. Here is an example thank-you letter. Let’s learn the structure of a thank-you letter . There are three paragraphs here ,right ? Do you know what each paragraph is about ? Para 1,who knows? ( Ss respond )Good

try !Thanks ! In Para 1, Amy Zhang ,the writer ,thanked Sam and Jenny for letting her stay in their house ,and she gave some details about the photos. How about Para 2? Who wants to tell us? ( Ss respond )Right !Amy told Sam and Jenny her study. Para 3,what’s your opinion ? ( Ss respond )Thanks for your opinion . Yeah ,Amy asked about her friends and invited them to visit her the next holiday .Then she closed the letter by repeating her thanks! Clear ?

T : Look at the last sentence in the letter . When expressing our wishes, we can use the structure “ wish + sb. + n ”.

  e.g.  I wish you good luck !( 祝你走运！)

        They wish him every happiness ! 他们祝他事事如意！

We can also use the structure “ May sb. do sth ”

e.g. May you succeed. 祝你成功！

T ：OK ,turn to Page 42, look at Exercise 2, there are four topics here . Choose one of the four topics and write a thank-you letter after class. When writing , pay attention to the structure . Here is the structure of a thank-you letter , you can refer to it.

 

T : 请注意，在感谢信的主体部分，通常由三个段落组成。第一段，介绍

写感谢信的原因。第二段，简要介绍本人近期情况。第三段，表示对对方近期状况的关心，并再次表示感谢。
