Today, we are going to focus on the Reading for Writing part in Unit 2 “Travelling Around”. Before we start, let me ask you a question. Have any of you ever been on a trip and wanted to tell your friends or family about it in detail? Raise your hands if you have. (Wait for students to respond) Students: (Some students raise their hands) Teacher: Great! Traveling is such an exciting experience, and sharing our travel plans and experiences with others can be equally fun. Now, let's take a look at a letter from Richard to Xiao Li. In this letter, Richard is sharing his travel plan to Xi'an. Please read it carefully and think about what information he includes in his plan. (Distribute the handout with the letter or project it on the screen) Dear Xiao Li, My time here in China is going well. I love my new school and classmates. Over the October holiday, my parents and I are planning to go to Xi'an to see the Terracotta Army. I've heard that it is an amazing sight, and I can't wait to go. To me, the story of the Terracotta Army is almost unbelievable. It's amazing that there are more than 8,000 statues, and no one in modern times knew about them until the 1970s. We're also planning to visit several other places in Xi'an. My dad and I are both looking forward to going to the Shaanxi History Museum, because my dad loves history and I have heard that this museum is known as a “Chinese treasure house”! We're also going to the Xi'an City Wall and a few other famous sights. We're taking the train, leaving the day before the October holiday begins. We're arriving at 9:30 a.m. and will start sightseeing right away, so I hope we sleep well on the train! I'll write again soon and send photos! Do you have any plans for the coming holiday? Your friend, Richard Teacher: Now, let's analyze this letter together. First, who can tell me where Richard is going? Student 1: He is going to Xi'an. Teacher: Correct! And why is he going to Xi'an? Student 2: To see the Terracotta Army. Teacher: Exactly. The Terracotta Army is a huge draw for tourists. What else does he mention about the Terracotta Army? Student 3: There are more than 8,000 statues, and they were unknown until the 1970s. Teacher: Great! He also shares some amazing facts about it. Now, besides the Terracotta Army, what other places does he plan to visit in Xi'an? Student 4: The Shaanxi History Museum and the Xi'an City Wall. Teacher: Right. He gives reasons for visiting the Shaanxi History Museum. His dad loves history, and it's known as a “Chinese treasure house”. This shows how we can add details to make our travel plan more interesting. Now, how are they getting to Xi'an? Student 5: By train. Teacher: Very good. And when are they leaving and arriving? Student 6: They are leaving the day before the October holiday begins and arriving at 9:30 a.m. Teacher: Perfect. Notice how he also mentions his hope to sleep well on the train, which adds a personal touch. Now, let's summarize the key elements of a travel plan letter like this. We have the destination, the reasons for going there, the places to visit at the destination, the means of transportation, and the travel schedule. Teacher: Let's look at some useful words and phrases in this letter. “I can't wait to go” shows his excitement. Who can use this phrase in a sentence? Student 7: I can't wait to go to the beach this summer. Teacher: Excellent! Another phrase is “look forward to”. Richard says “My dad and I are both looking forward to going to the Shaanxi History Museum”. Can someone else use “look forward to” in a sentence? Student 8: I'm looking forward to meeting my old friends during the winter vacation. Teacher: Great job! Now, let's move on to the writing part. Suppose you are going on a trip during the coming holiday. I want you to plan your own trip and write an email to a friend, just like Richard did. First, let's brainstorm some possible destinations. Can you name some interesting places in China or around the world that you would like to visit? Student 9: I would like to go to Beijing to see the Forbidden City. Teacher: That's a wonderful choice. Beijing has so much history and culture. What about you? Student 10: I want to go to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower. Teacher: Paris is known as the “City of Light” and has many famous landmarks. Now, once you have decided on your destination, think about why you want to go there. What attracts you to that place? Student 11: I want to go to Beijing because I'm interested in Chinese history, and the Forbidden City is a great place to learn about it. Teacher: Very good. And for those who choose foreign destinations, think about the unique culture, food, or attractions there. Next, make a list of the places you want to visit at your destination. For example, if you are going to Beijing, besides the Forbidden City, you might also want to visit the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, etc. Teacher: Now, consider your means of transportation. Will you go by plane, train, bus, or car? And also plan your travel schedule. When will you leave, when will you arrive, and what will you do each day at your destination? Teacher: Let's do a quick group discussion. Form groups of four. Share your travel ideas with your group members. Discuss the destinations, reasons, places to visit, transportation, and schedule. Each group member should take turns sharing their plan, and others can give suggestions. (Give students time for group discussion) Teacher: Okay, time's up. Let's have some groups share their travel plans. Group 1, would you like to start? Group 1 Representative: We have three different plans in our group. One of us wants to go to Guilin. The reason is the beautiful landscape there. The places to visit include the Li River, Elephant Trunk Hill. The transportation will be by train. We plan to leave on the first day of the holiday, arrive in the afternoon, and spend the next three days enjoying the scenery. Another one wants to go to Sydney. The attraction is the Sydney Opera House. Besides that, he will visit the Sydney Harbour Bridge. He will go by plane. He will leave a week before the end of the holiday, stay there for five days. And I want to go to Lijiang. I'm attracted by the ancient town's unique architecture and culture. I will visit the Old Town of Lijiang, Black Dragon Pool. I will take a bus. I plan to leave on the second day of the holiday and come back in a week. Teacher: That's a great sharing. You have covered all the important aspects. Group 2, your turn. Group 2 Representative: In our group, one member wants to go to New York. He is interested in the modern skyscrapers like the Empire State Building. He will also visit Times Square. He will take a plane and leave two days after the holiday starts, stay there for eight days. Another member wants to go to Hangzhou because of the West Lake. She will also visit the Lingyin Temple. She will go by train. She will leave on the morning of the holiday and come back in four days. I want to go to Zhangjiajie. The unique sandstone pillars in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park attract me. I will also visit Tianmen Mountain. I will go by car with my family. We will leave the day before the holiday and stay there for a week. Teacher: Wonderful. Now, based on your group discussions and the example of Richard's letter, start writing your own travel plan emails. Remember to include all the key elements we talked about: destination, reasons, places to visit, transportation, and schedule. You can also add some personal feelings and expectations, just like Richard did. (Students start writing) Teacher: (Walk around the classroom, offering help and guidance to students) Teacher: Okay, when you finish writing, exchange your emails with your 同桌. Read each other's emails and check for grammar mistakes, spelling errors, and whether all the necessary information is included. Also, give each other some suggestions on how to make the travel plan more attractive. (Students exchange and review their emails) Teacher: Now, let's have some students share their emails with the whole class. Student 12, would you like to read your email? Student 12: Dear Tom, I hope this email finds you well. The winter vacation is coming up, and I'm really excited because I'm planning a trip to Harbin with my family. I've always been fascinated by the ice and snow festivals there. The idea of seeing those amazing ice sculptures and experiencing the cold but beautiful winter wonderland is just too appealing to resist. We're going to visit the Harbin Ice and Snow World, which is famous for its gigantic and intricately carved ice structures. I've seen pictures, and they look absolutely breathtaking. We'll also go to the Siberian Tiger Park. I can't wait to see those magnificent tigers up close in their natural habitat. We're taking the train to Harbin. It's a long journey, but we think it will be a fun experience. We're leaving on the 20th of January, which is the second day of the winter vacation. We'll arrive in the morning, and we'll start exploring right away. We plan to stay in Harbin for five days. I'm sure it will be a memorable trip, and I can't wait to share the photos with you when I get back. What about your vacation plans? I hope you have something exciting lined up too. Your friend, [Student's Name] Teacher: That's a great email. You have clearly stated your destination, reasons, places to visit, transportation, and schedule. Your description of the attractions is vivid, which makes the reader want to go there too. Now, let's have another student share. Student 13? Student 13: Dear Lucy, The summer holiday is approaching, and I'm super excited to tell you about my travel plan. I'm going to Tokyo with my parents. I'm really interested in Japanese culture, especially anime and traditional temples. Tokyo is a great place to experience both modern and traditional Japan. We're going to visit the Meiji Shrine, which is a beautiful and peaceful place dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his consort, Empress Shoken. We'll also go to Akihabara, which is known as the “Electric Town” and is a paradise for anime and manga lovers. I'm looking forward to buying some cool anime merchandise there. We'll take a plane to Tokyo. We're leaving on the 15th of July and will arrive in the afternoon. We'll stay in Tokyo for a week. During this time, we'll also try some delicious Japanese food like sushi and ramen. I'm sure it will be an amazing trip, and I can't wait to immerse myself in the Japanese culture. Do you have any plans for the summer? I would love to hear about them. Your friend, [Student's Name] Teacher: Excellent. Your email is well - structured, and you have added your personal interests in Japanese culture, which makes it more engaging. Now, class, let's summarize what we have learned today. We learned how to write a travel plan email by analyzing Richard's letter to Xiao Li. We identified the key elements such as destination, reasons, places to visit, transportation, and schedule. We also learned some useful words and phrases to express our excitement and expectations. Remember, when writing a travel plan, make it detailed and personal so that your friends can really share your excitement. For homework, I want you to polish your travel plan emails. Add more details if possible, and make sure there are no grammar or spelling mistakes. Then, you can send these emails to your friends or family who might be interested in your travel plans. Teacher: That's all for today's class. Thank you, class! Have a great day! Students: Thank you, teacher! Have a great day too! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
