Step 2 Reading

Study the thank-you note by Jenny on the textbook on page58 to find out:

1) For what did Jenny express her thanks to her aunt?

2) In what way can we write a thank-you note well?

a. Tell the students that a thank-you note is usually short. The main topic is to show one’s thanks to another

person. So they shouldn’t enlarge it into a composition.

b. The date is not always necessary.

Step 3 Writing

1) Assign the writing task.

Annie 原以为好友Rose结婚后把她忘记了，却意外在6月10日收到了Rose寄来的生日礼物——精美的小雕像(figurine)。她觉得这个小雕像非常适合放在书架(bookshelf)上。Annie认为此礼物会永远提醒她想起她俩的友谊。她对此写信从心底向Rose表达感谢之意。

2) Let the students work in groups, examine the topic carefully and try to express it orally.

3) Check several groups in order to collect more information.

4) Comment on their work. Remind them of the things they should pay attention to, including the date, the

sentence order, and some useful expressions.
