参考范文:
Last week, a friend asked me, “Do you like my new dress?” Instead of saying what I really thought, I said, “Yes, it looks really lovely.” I didn't want her to be upset, because I care about her. But later that day, I heard others gossiping behind her back, “Why does she dress such a dress, which makes her look like a wilted sunflower.” I feel very guilty and don't know how to deal with it.
■写作项目——Write an article explaining your understanding of white lies
本单元的写作任务是表达自己对善意的谎言的看法,属于观点态度型议论文。此类文章要求对某个问题或某一现象进行分析、评论,并表明自己的观点、立场、态度、看法或主张。文章开头部分通常是对问题或现象的描述,主体部分展开说明分析,个人的观点态度常在最后呈现。
由教材学写作
一、学文体架构
根据本课时Part D中的写作指导,可总结出该类文体的框架结构如下:
二、学写作要点
由Part B中的听力文本可提炼出:
(1)什么是善意的谎言:white lies are small lies you tell to protect other people
(2)人们为什么说善意的谎言:to avoid hurting people's feelings
(3)可能产生的结果:①积极的一面:help strengthen relationships; protect people we value
②消极的一面:cause unexpected embarrassment or trouble; lead to a crisis of trust
三、学靓丽表达(针对Part A)
1.学词汇运用
第一篇课文第三段中奶奶在描述连衣裙时用了“so pretty”和“perfect”,表达了她对这件裙子的满意,与第二段中作者的看法“ugliest”形成鲜明的对比。第四段描述作者的笑容时用了“broadly”一词,刻画了作者对自己失望情绪的极力掩饰之态。
2.学高级句式
第一篇课文第二段中的“Inside was something very bright, very pink.”运用了倒装句式,在更自然承接上文的同时,也加强了语气,表达出作者强烈的排斥情绪。“It was the ugliest dress I had ever seen.”一句运用了省略that的定语从句“I had ever seen”修饰先行词the ugliest dress,同样是为了加强语气,表达作者对这件礼物的极度不喜欢。

选择不说善意的谎言可能很困难,因为这意味着你有可能会伤害你所关心的人。然而,一旦你被发现撒了谎,损害你们之间关系的风险会更高。

[针对练笔]
英语课上,老师就“是否能说善意的谎言”让同学们展开讨论。假定你对此持反对意见,请你写一段话谈谈自己的看法。
参考范文:
One of the main reasons for telling a white lie is to try to make others feel better.However, maybe we are in fact lying to protect ourselves from the disappointment and anger of others.We may also tell a white lie when we want to protect others from bad news.But don't you think they would want to know the truth?Although white lies, sometimes, can bring some temporary benefits, they have results we cannot know in advance.So I still hold the belief that honesty is an important value.

1.White lies
One main reason for telling a white lie is to make others feel better and another one is to give encouragement.If your friend asks you what you think of his singing, you may give him some encouragement and build up his confidence by telling a white lie.Besides, we may also tell a white lie when
we want to protect others from bad news.Therefore, we may find white lies are well-intended.
说善意谎言的一个主要原因是为了让别人感觉更好,另一个原因是给予鼓励。如果你的朋友问你对他的歌声有什么看法,你可以给他一些鼓励,通过说一个善意的谎言来建立他的信心。此外,当我们想保护他人免受坏消息的影响时,我们也可能会说一个善意的谎言。因此,我们可能会发现善意的谎言确实是善意的。
2.Copying others' homework
In my opinion, it is wrong to copy others' homework because it breaks the school rules.Students should be honest and try to finish their homework by themselves instead of by copying.Even though we have trouble doing our homework, we can ask our classmates or teachers for help.
在我看来,抄袭别人的作业是不对的,因为这违反校规。学生们应该诚实,尽量自己完成作业,而不是抄作业。即使我们在做作业时遇到困难,我们也可以向同学或老师寻求帮助。
