Teaching Procedures

Step I. Lead-in

　　T: In our daily life, the letters play an important part. We can exchange information through the letters. People sometimes write letters to ask their good friends for advice. Now, I have two letters. One is from Ken; the other is from Yang Mei.

(Prepare two envelopes and write the two letters ahead of time. ) I also have two titles:

　　(1)Shall I tell...?

　　(2) How do I make friends?

　　(Write the titles on the blackboard. )

　　Who’d like to read them for us?

　　( Choose two Ss to read them. )

　　Which title is for Ken's letter and which is for Yang Mei’s?

　　(The first title is for Ken's letter and the second is for Yang Mei’s.)

Step II Fast-reading:

　　Read the letters quickly and make some notes for the following questions.

　　(1) Is Ken enjoying his new school? Why?

Key: No. Because the other students went to the same junior middle school, so they got along well with each other. They made fun of Ken. So he spent a lot of time alone. He found it hard to make friends with them. )

　　(2) Why doesn't Yang Mei want to spend her winter vacation with her cousin?

Key: They used to be very good friends. Recently she discovered that her cousin had started to tell lies. She told him that it was wrong to tell lies, but he just laughed at her. )

　　(3) What's Amy's advice for Ken?

Key: Don't worry about being short. Look for a special friend. Don't spend too much time alone. )

　　(4) And for Yang Mei?

Key: Have another talk with her cousin. Tell him the reason why she doesn't want to spend her vacation with him.

Step III. Detailed-reading

Read the answering letter again and find out the information of the following.

　　1) Which is the reply to Letter A and which is to Letter B?

Key: The one on Page 54 is the reply to Letter A; the other on Page 55 is the reply to Letter B.

　　2) How do you know about that? Say some key words.

Key: For A: new school, make fun of, short. For B; tell lies, spend your vacation. . .

　　3) Decide which is True and which is False.

　　a. Ken didn’t enjoy his new school at all because it was so small.

She thought it was going to be fun for them to sit together. But later she found she didn’t like her at all and they couldn’t get on well with each other. I asked her why, she didn't reply to my question, and she just said sometimes he laughed at her. She also worried about her changing because she had to ask for the permission of the head teacher.
