Learning Objectives
PART. 01
Understand the daily study and life of British middle school students by watching videos. Based on your own daily study and life, compare the study and life in Chinese and British schools, and find out the similarities and differences between the two. Talk about your first impression of high school life, and have a preliminary perception of the study and life in the senior high school stage.
Learning Objectives
Analyze a sample invitation email to identify key components and extract structural patterns. Master the structure of formal invitation emails. Use formal language to compose clear, polite invitations, applying grammar and vocabulary accurately.
Learn cultural expectations of formal English communication (e.g., tone, structure in invitation letters). Understand how to respect professional relationships through appropriate language and etiquette.
Break down the sample email into parts, analyzing how each section functions. Apply this analysis to structure you own invitations logically. When drafting unique invitation details, innovate within the formal structure, tailoring content to specific events while following cultural norms.
Use “analyze-model-create” strategies: studying a sample, identifying patterns, and applying them to new writing. By planning, drafting, and revising emails, take ownership of mastering formal writing.

邀请信是人们日常生活、社会活动和外事活动中常用的应用文体，它分为正式和非正式两种。正式邀请信的正文内容应用书面语，措辞要正式、语气热情有礼，态度诚恳。非正式邀请信对内容和格式要求不高，只要说明活动的内容、时间和地点即可。高中英语应用文写作以正式邀请信为主。

Clear：邀请缘由、目的、时间、地点等信息明确。
Convincing：有说服力，合情合理地说服收信人接受邀请，不强人所难。
Courteous：措辞得当，有礼貌，符合收信人身份，语气诚恳。
