写作项目——Write a blog about English study
本课时的写作任务是写一篇关于英语学习的咨询博客。要求学生反思和总结自己在英语学习中遇到的困难，并积极探索解决方法，然后以博客的文体形式完成写作。咨询博客的主要目的是寻求所需的信息、资料和了解相关情况等，类似于应用文中的咨询信。
由课文学写作
一、掌握问答式的写作手法
问答式写法是写作构思谋篇、段落展开常采用的一种写作方式。这种写作方式常在篇首或段首提出问题，以引起读者关注，激发阅读兴趣。这些问题就是文章主题或段落主题，问题后面的写作内容就是针对问题给出的具体建议和方法，如课文文本是三名网友对Wang Le在网上提出的“英语学习最大困难是什么？”这一问题从不同角度的回答。
Can money buy happiness Various people have various answers.Some people think that money is the source of happiness, ①__________________________________________________ (因为金钱能带来舒服， 安全等等). But there are still a lot of others who think that money is the root of all evil. Money, as they think, ②______________________________________________ (驱使人们做一些不好的事情，甚至违法的事). Can money buy happiness？I think that money is essential to life.Although money is necessary for a happy life, ③_____________________________(但是它买不来所有的幸福)．
二、学语言特色
课文三段网络跟帖的语言实际上是网络语言的一种缩影，其语言特色是：简洁干练，通俗明了，随意性强。这符合网络博文这种非正式文体的典型特点。
三、学亮点表达
1．亮点词汇
(1)本文第二段中动词“catch”(抓住；理解)一词要比使用“understand”更地道，传神地描绘了作者在听听力时的神态和状况。
(2)第四段中使用了“bridge”一词，属于名词用作动词，表示“减小、消除两者间的隔阂、鸿沟或分歧”。“搭建一座桥梁”来消除朋友之间的隔阂，这样的用法非常形象，使得文章极具画面感。
①We ________________________ in the lecture.
在讲座中我们理解了他的理论中一些内容。
②The decision is an attempt to bridge the distance between the rich and the poor.
2．亮点句式
第三段最后一句“I have to think about who I'm talking to and then decide whether to say, ‘Open the window, please！’ or...？”使用了who 引导的宾语从句和“疑问词＋动词不定式”作 decide 的宾语，这些高级句式不仅表达了作者英语学习存在的问题，而且使得文章句式丰富多样。
①I'm____________________ would be sent to finish the task.
我在考虑谁会被派去完成这项任务。
②He has to learn ____________________ water, hunt for food, and make fire.
他得学会如何收集淡水、寻找食物、生火什么的。
四、学修辞手法
第四段中“If I'm talking to a close friend, ... But if I'm talking to someone who isn't very close to me, ... If I'm talking to someone senior to me, ...”作者连续运用三个if条件状语从句，采用排比的修辞手法，向读者提出了在使用英语时如何做到有礼貌地提建议。句式对仗工整，语气连贯，节奏感强，起到了拓展和深化文意的作用。
Don't make promise when you are in joy.Don't reply when you are sad.Don't take decisions when you are angry.Think twice and act wise.
别在喜悦的时候许下承诺；①_________________________________；别在愤怒的时候作出决定。②____________________，做出睿智的行为。

一、写作范式
二、注意事项
问题咨询类写作需要注意以下几点：
1．态度诚恳，言辞恳切。
向别人征求建议，尤其是向长辈或自己不熟悉的人征求建议时，态度要诚恳，语气要委婉，让对方感受到自己的诚意。例如，在咨询问题时要注意句式的选择，可以使用“Would you please tell me ...”之类语气委婉的正式疑问句。
2．思路清晰，表述清楚。
由于询问有可能给对方带来麻烦，所以语言应简洁、清晰、无歧义。层次要分明，表述要清楚，以便让对方一看就能明白你的问题，并能向你提出有针对性的建议。
3．把握时态，确保准确。
如果表述目前自己在某一方面遇到的困难或问题，应用一般现在时；如果描述自己在得到帮助后可能会取得的进步，要用一般将来时。
写作素材储备
1．咨询问题
①I would like to know whether you could provide me with information regarding ...
②I wish to request information about ...
2．交代自己所面临的问题
①I have met some trouble in ...
②I find it difficult to ...
③I don't know how to ...
3．请求对方给出建议
①Would you like to ... so that ...
②Would you mind ...
③Would you be so kind to tell me ...
④Could you please ...
⑤I would be forever grateful if you could send me information concerning ...
4．展望自己获得建议后可能会取得的进步
①I'm sure with your help I can make great progress.
②I think I will surely ... with your advice.
③In the near future, I am sure I can ...
5．表明获取信息的急切心情
①Looking forward to your immediate response.
②Your attention to this letter would be highly appreciated.
③I am waiting for your quick reply.
④Thank you in advance for your cooperation/assistance.

在英语学习的过程中，丰富多彩的英语课堂活动一定给你留下了深刻的印象。请你以“What should we do in English classes？”为题写一篇英语短文，谈谈在英语课堂上学生应该怎样做才能使学习更有效。内容包括：
1．认真听课； 2.参加课堂学习活动； 3.不怕犯错。
注意：1.写作词数应为80左右；2．请按如下格式作答。
参考范文：
What should we do in English classes
As everybody knows, it is very important for a student to learn English well in classes.
In English classes, we should listen to the teacher carefully, take notes and try to answer the teacher's questions in English.Besides, we should be confident about ourselves, and take part in all kinds of studying activities in English classes. Most importantly, we shouldn't be afraid of speaking English in front of others or making mistakes. Only in this way can we make rapid progress in English.
If we can do so, there is no doubt that we can master English.
Ⅲ.读后续写
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。
The walls of failure surrounded me. I saw my teacher's eyes fixed on my every move. My mom's blank expression betrayed one thing: disappointment. “He is not giving his full potential，” I heard my teacher say. I gazed down, afraid, ashamed, and determined. My determination was not to excel and put my best effort into improvement; my determination told me to give up.
It was my first year in the United States. I was a fifth grader, and everything around me seemed alien. My native language had been Spanish, and after coming to the United States from Puerto Rico because of serious family problems, I just felt like hiding inside my metaphorical shell. The school itself was bright and very welcoming. The bright walls with colored dinosaurs and cartoons were appealing, and the distinct smell of crayons, play dough, and chalks made the place feel like my home.
Then why did I have such a negative attitude It was not because my teachers did not support me. They were willing to stay after school with me to help me learn the concepts. It was not because my classmates did not want me there. Most of them invited me to sit with them at lunch. It was not because I could not talk to anyone; I had a bilingual teacher with me all day, helping me.
My negative attitude was the result of frustration and lack of interest in study. No matter how hard I tried, the mysterious code known as “English” would not take root in my brain. I tried for hours on end to improve my grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary，but the unknown language “did not want to be learned”．
(根据前文和所给段落开头语，续写妈妈对“我”进行教育→受到鼓励→单词变得有意义了→开始用英语和同学交流→意义：需要别人的推动，实现似乎不可能的事情。要求逻辑通顺，情节合理。词数80左右。)
参考范文：
One afternoon, my mother was informed to attend a parent-teacher conference. Having learned my lack of interest, she told me，“You can never achieve your goal unless you put your best effort into it.” That statement “clicked” and inspired me. A simple change in attitude made words slowly go from something like alien to actually making sense.Within days I found myself starting to communicate with my classmates in English fluently.One needs push from someone and he cares to achieve what seems to be impossible.

阅读七选五
As an English learner, we sometimes get questions like this: “How can I speak English with more confidence？” That is a great question. 1 Today, we have several pieces of advice to help you.
Every day, the most important person you talk to is yourself. That's to say, your own thoughts matter. If you lack confidence as an English speaker, you may say things like, “English is too hard.” “I'm so sorry for my English.” What's worse, you are sure to start believing them. 2
To sound more confident, speak loudly and slowly enough so that people can easily hear you. Many English learners worry that speaking too slow will make them sound inexperienced. 3 So avoid worrying that you are speaking too slow for the people around you.
4 If you are not confident, you may try to say as little as possible. For example, if asked what people's favorite color is, an English learner may give a short, direct response like, “blue”， while a native English speaker is likely to say, “Well, to be quite honest, I don't really have an actual color, but I guess I may go for something like blue or grey.”
Reading out loud can help build confidence in how your English sounds. List words you have trouble saying and later check their pronunciation. 5 So avoid checking word meanings in a dictionary while reading.
A．But you are more likely to make mistakes if speaking too fast.
B．Take a few minutes to read the materials that you enjoy aloud.
C．So replace unhelpful thoughts with better ones when speaking.
D．Using long sentences shows that you speak English confidently.
E．Learners should read for pleasure and enjoy what they are reading.
F．Speak in complete sentences and give longer responses when possible.
G．Whatever language we are learning, we would all love to speak confidently.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章对英语学习者如何自信地说英语提出了几点建议。
1．选G 根据前文“As an English learner ...English with more confidence？”可知，此处是讲自信地说外语，所以选项G “无论我们在学什么语言，我们都想要自信地说。”切合文意。
2．选C 根据前文“If you lack confidence as an English speaker ...I'm so sorry for my English.”可知，选项C中的unhelpful thoughts是指认为自己的英文很差，与前文相对应；再根据前文“That's to say, your own thoughts matter.”可知，因为你自己的想法很重要，所以要用好的想法代替无用的想法。所以选项C“所以说的时候，用更好的想法来代替无用的想法。”切合文意。
3．选A 根据前文“To sound more confident ...so that people can easily hear you.”可知，作者主张慢而大声地说英语；再根据前文“Many English learners worry ...make them sound inexperienced.”可知，此处应是讲说得太快会有什么坏处，选项A“但如果说得太快，你更容易出错。”切合文意。
4．选F 根据后文“For example, if asked what people's favorite color is ...but I guess I may go for something like blue or grey.”可知，作者主张用完整的句子尽可能给出较长的回答。所以选项F “用完整的句子说话，尽可能给出较长的回答。”切合文意。
5．选E 根据后文“So avoid checking word meanings in a dictionary while reading.”可知，空格处应解释在阅读的时候避免在词典里查词义的原因，所以选项E“学习者应该为快乐而阅读，享受他们正在阅读的东西。”切合文意。UNIT 5 课时检测(六) Writing
