A sample writing
Subject: Vacation From: Ace Travel
Dear S. T. Zhang,
We are very glad to receive your letter. Thank you for choosing our agency.
I think Qingdao is the best place for you and your family to go on vacation based on your e-mail.
Qingdao is a very beautiful city with lots of nice scenery. It's on the east coast of China. The waves of the sea are really wonderful. It's really an exciting place to visit. And you can also do a lot of exercise there, such as hiking along the coast on the beach, swimming in the great ocean. It will become a more attractive place in summer.
We can help you book an inexpensive room with three beds. Many local people there run that kind of hotels with their own houses. The rooms are very clean and nice and you can cook your meals in the kitchens if you like.
I suggest you'd better travel by plane.
You can save much time in that way.
How do you think of travelling to Qingdao?
Please tell us.
Best wishes to you and your family.
Ace Travel
Step Ⅳ Part 4
This activity provides reading, writing, listening and speaking practice using the target language.
Read the instructions to students.
Say something about the three places in the chart. Showing some pictures of these places to the students, say like this, Qufu is a small city in Shandong Province. It is famous for Confucius. It was Confucius' hometown. He was born there.
The Great Wall is the pride of the Chinese people. It is very long and it is hard to believe that it was built over two thousand years ago.
The Forest of Steles in Xi'an is a great place for people who are interested in writing Chinese with brushes.What do you think of the three places? Look at the chart in Activity 4. We can see the sample answer in the box about Qufu in the column of you.
Continue saying, Now please fill in the boxes about The Great Wall and The Forest of Steles in Xi'an on your own. You can use the words above the chart or any other word.
Tell them to write out the three students' names in the proper places in the chart. Then get them to survey the three students. Let them work in groups of four.
Ask a pair of students to read the model conversation in Activity 4 before they begin their own ones.
At last, have several groups report the results to the class. Then ask the class where they would prefer to go together.
Sample answers to the chart:
An ideal place for a school trip You Li Hong Wang Wei Zhao Yang
Qufu educational narrow great hot
The Great Wall exciting crowded cold relaxing
The Forest of Steles in Xi'an crowded educational expensive exciting
