Section Ⅵ
写作项目——Writing a letter to express ideas
本单元要求以书信体撰写现象分析型议论文,探讨中国春节走向世界这一现象。此类文章的写作框架相对固定,一般是先介绍某种社会现象,然后深入分析这一现象产生的原因及影响,最后表达自己的看法或得出结论。
由教材学写作
一、学文体架构
参照本课时Activity 6中的写作指导,该类文体可按照以下框架展开:
二、学要点表达
描述某一现象时可参考课文第一段首句中的句式“Nowadays, more and more ... are holding ...”,其中more and more与进行时态是此类文体用来开门见山导入主题的常用表达。在表达个人观点时可参考Activity 6中的Useful expressions,如In my opinion ..., For me ..., I think ...常用来引出个人看法。It's not only ..., but ...则有助于引出进一步的阐述。
三、学高级句式
第一段使用了not only ... but的倒装句,在平衡句子结构的同时也使上下文衔接更顺畅;第二段使用while连接的并列句描述了中国春节广受欢迎的现象,同时,不定式短语To celebrate ...作目的状语简化了句式结构,让表达更凝练。
四、学写作手法
第二段在举例说明中国春节正在走向世界这一现象时,作者列举了90%, over 1,000等具体的数字。列数字这一写作手法可以让表达更准确,更具说服力。

Ⅳ.读后续写(15分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Thanksgiving is wherever Grandma goes.
Thanksgiving was two weeks away, but I was already planning the menu. We always had dinner at my house. I could always count on my son Bruce and his family who lived just an hour away. I was going over the grocery list again in my head when the phone rang. It was Bruce's wife, Elsa. She was calling to talk about Thanksgiving, but I couldn't believe what she was saying.
“What do you mean you're not coming?” I said. “Not coming on Thanksgiving?”
“We want you to be our guest this year,” Elsa said. “Eric will be home from college and Carlos is bringing his girlfriend. Of course Alex can't wait to see you. It'll be fun.”
I was shocked, confused, and most of all hurt. Thanksgiving was always at my house.
“It's too much work for you, Mom. You come down here and let us treat you,” Elsa said. “We'll eat around four o'clock.”
I always served dinner at 2:00.“Four's too late and we have to prepare leftovers for children,” I said. “You know I can't drive after dark.”
“You can spend the night with us and tell Bruce's stories to children.”
Obviously they didn't want any part of my Thanksgiving.“I just won't come,” I said, and hung up. I tried to distract myself with housework, but it was no use. All I could think about was that all the years I'd worked to make the perfect Thanksgiving for my family. That night Bruce called. He sounded almost as angry as I was.
“You're not being fair, Mom,” he said. “We want you here. You can help with the cooking. But it's time that we started some of our own traditions. Don't spoil it for all of us.”
Much as I hated to admit it, my son had a point. I'd started my own Thanksgiving traditions when I got married. I couldn't blame him for wanting to do the same. I agreed to go.But I told myself next year everyone would be at my house where they should be.
注意:1.词数80左右;
2.要求逻辑通顺,情节合理,重点描写作者和家人共度感恩节的场景。
On Thanksgiving morning, with everything in my car,__________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
参考范文:
On Thanksgiving morning, with everything in my car, I started off to Bruce's house. At the house Elsa and Bruce came out of the kitchen full of the smell of baking, red-faced from a morning's work at the stove, and pulled me inside. Eric, Alex, Carlos greeted me warmly and Carlos introduced his girlfriend to me. Elsa and Bruce asked me to help in the kitchen. Then all three of us went out into the living room where the kids were. They asked to hear stories about their dad when he was little. I gave the audience what they wanted.We had a happy time. It turns out that you don't need Grandmother's house for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is wherever Grandma goes.
