Content : Does the writer tell events in order? → Time Sequence Do ideas flow from one to another smoothly? → Topic Development Are there linking words that guide the reader? → Transitional Phrases Today we’ll use these three tools to reorganize a jumbled personal letter! 7 Model text destruction Instructions: Below is a personal letter from Wang Ying to her friend Fang Lan — but the paragraphs are mixed up. Work in pairs to put them back in the correct order. 📌 Then explain your reasoning using: Time sequence Topic development Transitional phrases 8 Model text destruction (A) Well, I must go now. I’ve got a presentation tomorrow and I need to finish my slides. I look forward to hearing all about what’s happening with you soon. All the best! Wang Ying (B) Hi, Fang Lan, How’s your life in Canada? I hope you have adapted well to the new situation and are enjoying your new school. (C) I love my new senior secondary school. It’s much bigger than my junior secondary school and there’s a huge gym! Do you remember Xie Zijun? Guess what – We’re in the same school! (D) It’s always good to have a friend, right? Life in senior secondary school is very different from junior secondary school! You know, we don’t have a fixed classroom! We go to different classes for different subjects and also for different levels. I’m in the same class with Zijun for English and physics but in different classes for Chinese and maths. (E) You know, I like dancing so I’m in the Dancing Club. At the moment, we meet twice a week and we’re preparing to attend a competition. I think my new school gives me a chance to become a different person and I like the “new me”. 9 Model text destruction The Correct Order Is… Numbered Sequence: [1B] → Greeting & opening question "Hi, Fang Lan, How’s your life in Canada?" → Sets the scene; natural start of a personal letter [2C] → Introduces main topic: new school experience "I love my new senior secondary school..." → Begins topic development [3D] → Continues the idea with more details about school life "Life in senior secondary school is very different..." → Uses contrast (“different from”) as transition [4E] → Adds another layer: extracurricular activities "You know, I like dancing so I’m in the Dancing Club." → Expands on personal growth [5A] → Closing remarks and farewell "Well, I must go now..." → Signals ending; time-based cue (“tomorrow”) 10 Justifying Structural Choices Three Criteria Explained: Time Sequence Topic Development Transitional Phrases Examples from the Letter “I’ve got a presentation tomorrow” → future event Starts school, then friends → classroom system → clubs → personal growth “Guess what”, “You know”, “Well, I must go now” – guide the reader 11 Key Features of a Well-Organized Personal Letter ✔ Clear beginning: greeting + response to previous contact ✔ Logical progression: from general to specific ideas ✔ Use of connectors: “you know”, “guess what”, “well” ✔ Natural ending: reason for closing + warm wishes “Good organization helps the reader feel connected to the writer.” 12 Identifying Language Features of Personal Letters Instructions: 🔍 Circle or highlight examples of: Greeting & closing Questions that show care Exclamations expressing emotion Informal connectors Phrases that build connection 🟢 "How’s your life in Canada?" → Shows concern 🟡 "Guess what – We’re in the same school!" → Excitement & shared history 🔵 "It’s always good to have a friend, right?" → Rhetorical question to strengthen bond 🟣 "I like the 'new me'" → Personal reflection, identity growth 13 "Personal letters aren't formal — they're warm, conversational, and full of emotional cues. Notice how Wang Ying uses rhetorical questions and exclamations to simulate real conversation. These aren't just grammar points — they're tools for building intimacy(亲密感）." 14 Trace the Logic Chain: Event → Reason → Feeling Event Reason / Explanation Feeling / Attitude No fixed classroom Move between subject-specific classrooms Surprising, exciting change In same school as Xie Zijun Old friend from past Happy, comforted Joined Dancing Club Loves dancing Enthusiastic, motivated Preparing for competition Working hard with team Proud, hopeful School helps her grow New opportunities Positive self-image ("new me") 15 "Wang Ying doesn't just list facts — she tells a story with purpose. Each event leads to a reason, which then shapes her feeling. This is called the E-R-F logic chain: Event → Reason → Feeling. Strong personal writing always links actions to emotions through explanation." 16 Micro-writing：Let's complete the E-R-F chain 1 Micro-writingEvent given → You add R & FEvent: “Last weekend, I tried a new hot-pot restaurant.” 2 Your task（30 s 快闪写作） Reaction：What happened first? What did I do/think? Feeling：How did I feel & why?→ Write 1-2 sentences on your worksheet. 17 Check & Upgrade Possible answer :Event: Last weekend, I tried a new hot-pot restaurant.Reaction: The moment I walked in, a spicy aroma hit me and the waiter greeted me with a huge smile.Feeling: I felt so excited because the food was fantastic and the service made me feel at home. Your upgrade（20 s）Swap your worksheet with a partner; underline the strongest feeling word & add one adjective to make it stronger.e.g. excited → absolutely thrilled / over the moon 18 Cross-Cultural Question – Why So Much Detail? Cross-Cultural Thinking: Why Does Wang Ying Share So Much? Possible Cultural Insights: 🔸 In collectivist cultures(集体主义文化), sharing daily life strengthens relational bonds 🔸 Friends are seen as family — keeping them informed is a form of care 🔸 Detailed updates show sincerity and emotional investment 🔸 Absence increases desire to maintain closeness across distance In some Western contexts, people may share fewer details unless asked directly. 19 "This isn't just about school — it's about maintaining friendship across borders. In many East Asian cultures, relationships require active nurturing. By describing her gym, her classes, and her dance club, Wang Ying is saying: You're still part of my world." 20 Functional Language – Record Useful Patterns Category 1: Showing Care How’s your life in ___?

When you write your own personal letter, plug in your content and keep the structure. That's how fluent writers work!" 22 Extracting Key Successful Elements Good organization helps the reader feel connected to the writer. 1 Identifying Language Features of Personal Letters 2 Trace the Logic Chain: Event → Reason → Feeling 3 Cross cultural insights 4 Functional Language – Record Useful Patterns 5 23 Co-Developing the Evaluation Criteria EvaluationDimensions ★★★ (Great!) ★★ (Good) ★ (Needs Work) Structure Language Content Feeling 24 Co-Developing the Evaluation Criteria EvaluationDimensions ★★★ (Great!) ★★ (Good) ★ (Needs Work) Structure Easy to follow, order makes sense Mostly clear, but order is a bit off Hard to follow, order is mixed up Language Natural and polite, very few mistakes Easy to understand, with some mistakes Unnatural, many mistakes make it hard to read Content Says a lot, ideas connect well Says enough, ideas mostly make sense Doesn't say much, ideas are confusing Feeling Feelings are real and strong Feelings are real, but not very strong Feelings are hard to find or don't seem real Cultural Fit Easy for an English speaker to understand and like An English speaker can understand it Might be confusing or strange for an English speaker 25 Writing Practice 1 Assuming a New Identity for Perspective Shift / 2 Providing Structural Support 26 Writing Practice—scaffolding 1 Offering a Vocabulary Bank 2 Implementing Differentiated Teacher Support 27 Multi-Dimensional Evaluation Applying the Rubric for Constructive Feedback Modeling 'My school is big.'→ 'My new school is surprisingly big, and I feel both excited and a little lost in it!'
