【活动主题】 “写建议信”(Write a letter of advice)，涵盖人与自我、人与社会两大主题。建议信是作者就有关问题进行分析并针对这些问题提出自己的看法和建议，以便让对方接受自己的想法、主张并解决有关问题。建议信可以写给个人，就其遇到的某个问题提出自己的看法或观点；也可以写给某个组织或者机构，就改进其服务等提出建议或忠告。 【课本原文】 10 September 2018 Dear Worried Friend, You wrote that you are very worried about your friend, Chen Lei.I understand quite well that you are anxious and feel terrible.You think that your friend plays computer games too often and spends too much time . I recommend that you talk to your friend about his behaviour. It is not unusual for teenagers of your generation to be attracted to computer games and the online world. But spending too much time online is unhealthy and makes it very difficult to focus on other things in life. Some students even become addicted to the Internet and cannot concentrate on school and family life. I think you should encourage your friend to try new hobbies. Why not discuss the problem together? I am sure he will listen to you.since you are his good friend. All the best, Suan lu   教材提供的文本是Susan Luo写给一位担心朋友沉迷电脑游戏和网络的青少年的信，给出了相关的建议。该信件比较正式，包括日期、称呼、正文主体、结尾和签名。正文分为两段，第一段说明写信人已经知晓来信人的问题，了解来信人的感受，即担心朋友上网成瘾；第二段说明了网瘾的害处，并提出解决问题的建议。这封建议信的语言特征是使用了几种不同的建议表达法，例如：“I recommend that ...”“I think you should ...”“Why not ...”等。文本中的日期使用了“日—月—年”英式写法，美式写法则为“月—日—年”，中式为“年—月—日”。 【教材佳句】 1.I recommend that you talk to your friend about his behaviour. 我建议你直接和你的朋友谈谈他的行为。 讲解：积累推荐句句式，I recommend that sb.
