第二步:请部分同学朗读自己的作文。
第三步:组内选出一些优秀的作品张贴于墙报上。
Sample
Dear Sir or Madam,
I don't really agree with the opinion that children should take after-school classes because children have to work hard at school and actually they have taken enough stress. Although some parents are right about the ideas to make their children successful, I think children should be respected and have their own interests and hobbies.
Opinion
In my opinion, it is important for parents to talk with their children about whether they are willing to take after-school classes. I believe it is better if parents show their respect to their kids so that there will be a good result. Perhaps communication between parents and children is useful for both parents and children.
Yours truly,
Wang Xiao
