Unit1 Good Friends

step 4. post -integrating skills
ask the students to read the e-mail ads in unit 1 and choose one to reply to. before the students start writing, they should think about what they want to write.
extension  use real e-pal ads from the internet and let the students find a real e-pal from another country. if your students do not have easy access to the internet, you can simply copy more e-pal ads and bring them to class.
sample e-mail
hi jane:
my name is xiao fei and i come from hunan. hunan is in the south of china. i am a middle school student and i like speaking english. i read your e-pal ad and i would like to be your e-pal. you wrote that you like rock music. can you tell me what bands you like? have you ever heard any chinese rock bands? you also wrote that you like talking and joking around. i do too! i think you and i can be good friends. please send me an e-mail as soon as possible.
xiao fei
assessment criteria:
an e-mail is less formal than a letter and more formal than speaking. a good response to the e-pal ads should include information about who you are and where you are from. try to encourage the students to use indirect speech to refer to the e-pal ad.
