I’m writing to express my sincere thanks for your warm care during my three-month exchange in the US. You made me feel like part of your family, which helped me get through the culture shock quickly. You organized various activities for me on weekends so that I could experience American culture deeply. We went to a Thanksgiving parade, carved pumpkins for Halloween and baked cookies together. I still remember how you patiently explained American idioms to me when I failed to understand them. These experiences not only let me know more about your country but also improved my English. Since I returned to China, I’ve told my friends many interesting stories about our time together. I really miss the delicious apple pie Mrs Smith made and the evening walks with Tom. I sincerely invite you to visit China someday. I’d love to show you around my hometown and share Chinese culture with you. Looking forward to your reply. Yours sincerely, Wang Hong 【译文】 给史密斯一家的感谢邮件 亲爱的史密斯先生和夫人： 希望你们一切安好。我写这封邮件，是为了衷心感谢我在美国交换的三个月里，你们给予我的温暖照顾。你们让我感觉自己是家庭的一份子，这帮助我很快度过了文化冲击期。 你们周末为我安排了各种各样的活动，好让我深入体验美国文化。我们一起去看了感恩节游行、为万圣节雕刻南瓜，还一起烤饼干。我还记得，当我听不懂一些美国习语时，你们耐心地为我解释。这些经历不仅让我更了解你们的国家，还提高了我的英语水平。 自从回到中国，我给朋友们讲了很多我们在一起的有趣故事。我真的很想念史密斯夫人做的美味苹果派，还有和汤姆一起的晚间散步。我真诚邀请你们有一天来中国做客，我很乐意带你们游览我的家乡，和你们分享中国文化。 期待你们的回复。 你真诚的， 王红 亮点词块 1.sincere thanks 衷心的感谢 2.get through the culture shock 度过文化冲击期 3.various activities 各种各样的活动 4.carved pumpkins 雕刻南瓜 5.American idioms 美国习语 6.look forward to 期待 7.feel like part of the family 感觉像家庭一份子 8.show sb. around 带某人游览 高分句子 1.You made me feel like part of your family, which helped me get through the culture shock quickly.（运用非限制性定语从句，补充说明照顾带来的影响，丰富句式） 2.You organized various activities for me on weekends so that I could experience American culture deeply.（运用目的状语从句，贴合单元语法重点，明确活动目的） 3.These experiences not only let me know more about your country but also improved my English.（用not only...but also...结构，突出收获，逻辑清晰） 【拓展1】 你的班级举办“中外文化差异分享会”，请你写一篇短文，对比中国春节与美国感恩节的差异，包括庆祝时间、核心习俗、文化内涵，词数不少于80。 The Differences Between Chinese Spring Festival and American Thanksgiving ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【拓展1范文】 The Differences Between Chinese Spring Festival and American Thanksgiving Chinese Spring Festival and American Thanksgiving are both important family festivals, but they have obvious differences in time, customs and cultural meanings. The Spring Festival falls on the first day of the lunar new year, while Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. For customs, Chinese families usually clean their houses, set off fireworks and eat dumplings to welcome the new year. Americans, however, gather to have a big dinner with turkey and pumpkin pie, and express thanks to their family and friends. Culturally, the Spring Festival emphasizes family reunion and new year’s wishes for prosperity. Thanksgiving focuses on gratitude—people thank others for their kindness and the blessings they’ve received. Though different, both festivals reflect the value of family and love, which is shared by all cultures. 【拓展1译文】 中国春节与美国感恩节的差异 中国春节和美国感恩节都是重要的家庭节日，但它们在时间、习俗和文化内涵上有着明显的差异。 春节在农历新年的第一天，而感恩节在11月的第四个星期四。习俗方面，中国家庭通常会打扫房屋、燃放烟花、吃饺子来迎接新年。然而，美国人会团聚在一起吃一顿有火鸡和南瓜派的大餐，并向家人和朋友表达谢意。 文化层面上，春节强调家庭团聚和对新年兴旺的祝福。感恩节则聚焦感恩——人们感谢他人的善意和自己所得到的祝福。尽管有所不同，这两个节日都体现了家庭和爱的价值，这是所有文化共通的东西。 【拓展2】 请根据以下提示，仿写一篇“跨文化校园体验”的短文，运用目的状语从句和状语从句相关语法，词数100左右，开头已给出。 提示 信息 核心内容 背景（接待英国交换生Lucy）、经历（教她写汉字、分享中国美食；她介绍英国校园生活）、收获（增进文化理解、成为好朋友） 语言要求 运用so that引导的目的状语从句及至少一种其他状语从句（时间/原因/让步），贴合单元语法重点 Last month, our school welcomed a British exchange student named Lucy. She was in my class, and we soon became good friends because we shared many common interests. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【拓展2范文】 Last month, our school welcomed a British exchange student named Lucy. She was in my class, and we soon became good friends because we shared many common interests. I wanted Lucy to know more about Chinese culture, so I taught her how to write simple Chinese characters like “爱” and “家” after class. Every weekend, my family invited her to dinner so that she could taste authentic Chinese food such as dumplings and braised pork. Lucy was very curious about everything and always asked careful questions. In return, she told me about her school life in Britain—they don’t wear uniforms and have more after-school clubs. Though there are many differences between our school lives, we both enjoyed the exchange. This experience not only helped Lucy understand China better but also made me learn more about British culture. We still keep in touch now, and I believe our friendship will last forever. 【拓展2译文】 上个月，我们学校迎来了一位名叫露西的英国交换生。她和我同班，因为我们有很多共同爱好，很快就成了好朋友。 我想让露西更多地了解中国文化，所以课后我教她写一些简单的汉字，比如“爱”和“家”。每个周末，我的家人都会邀请她来吃饭，好让她品尝到正宗的中国菜，比如饺子和红烧肉。露西对一切都充满好奇，总是仔细地提问。作为回报，她给我讲了她在英国的校园生活——他们不用穿校服，还有更多的课后俱乐部。尽管我们的校园生活有很多不同，但我们都很享受这次交流。 这次经历不仅帮助露西更好地了解了中国，也让我学到了更多关于英国文化的知识。我们现在仍然保持联系，我相信我们的友谊会天长地久。 本话题作文的一些实用短语与句型积累 一、核心主题词汇 1.跨文化与交流相关（单元重点） · 文化相关：culture shock 文化冲击；cultural differences 文化差异；family reunion 家庭团聚；authentic food 正宗美食；traditional customs 传统习俗；exchange student 交换生；lunar new year 农历新年 · 交流与感谢：sincere thanks 衷心的感谢；express gratitude 表达感激；keep in touch 保持联系；invite sb. to visit 邀请某人来访；show sb. around 带某人游览；share culture 分享文化；get used to 适应 · 语法相关：目的状语从句（so that）；时间状语从句（when/while）；原因状语从句（because/since）；让步状语从句（though/although） · 校园与生活：after-school clubs 课后俱乐部；wear uniforms 穿校服；common interests 共同爱好；class activities 班级活动 1. 语法相关（单元重点） · 目的状语从句（so that）： · 基本结构：主句 + so that + 从句（常用can/could/will/would等情态动词），例：She studied hard so that she could pass the exam.（她努力学习是为了能通过考试。） · 状语从句复习： · 时间状语从句：when（当……时）、while（在……期间）、until（直到……），例：While we were having dinner, Lucy told us about her hometown.（我们吃饭的时候，露西给我们讲了她的家乡。） · 原因状语从句：because（因为）、since（既然），例：I like the Spring Festival because I can spend time with my family.（我喜欢春节，因为我能和家人共度时光。） · 让步状语从句：though/although（虽然），例：Though the customs are different, the love for family is the same.（尽管习俗不同，但对家庭的爱是相同的。） 1. 表达类（单元基础） · 逻辑连接：however 然而；though 虽然；because 因为；so that 为了；not only...but also... 不仅……而且……；while 而 · 感悟表达：reflect the value 体现价值；deepen understanding 加深理解；last forever 天长地久；get through 度过；look forward to 期待 二、实用句型积累 1.描述跨文化体验（贴合单元核心） · During my exchange in [country], I experienced a big culture shock at first because... 在[国家]交换期间，我一开始经历了很大的文化冲击，因为……，例：During my exchange in the US, I experienced a big culture shock at first because the food and school life were totally different. · [Someone] organized many activities for me so that I could...
