■写作项目——Writing an Informal Email
本单元的写作任务是写一封非正式的电子邮件。它是一种相对轻松、自然和随意的电子邮件形式，通常用于与朋友、家人、同事等关系较为密切的人进行日常交流。一般使用较为简单、通俗的词汇和句子结构，语气比较轻松友好。通常不需要严格的格式，内容简洁明了，重点突出。通过这种写作形式，旨在使学生在实际生活中正确书写个人邮件，达到交际目的。
由教材学写作
一、学文体架构
阅读课文，总结该文体的篇章结构如下：
二、学要点构思
非正式邮件的开头引入可先表达思念之情，询问近况等，也可直接开门见山引入话题，指出写信的目的。主体段落按照时间顺序或逻辑顺序展开，介绍自己的生活或学。结尾总结全文，可以用简短的话概括主题，或者给读者留下深刻的思考。如课文开头使用问候语“How's your life in Canada？”询问朋友近况，随后“I hope ...”点明写信的目的。第二段按照“学校整体概况(概括)→同学(具体1)→学习生活(具体2)→课外活动(具体3)”的顺序依次进行介绍。最后用简短的话语表明自己要去做的学习任务，进而结束文章，并表达祝愿。
三、学语言风格
非正式邮件一般为熟人之间的交流，语言一般轻松随意，常使用系动词、助动词和情态动词的缩略形式，运用省略句或省略虚词等。如本文中使用了缩略形式，如How's ...、 I'm ...、 She's ...、 I've ...等；以及一些非正式语言的表达，如Hi、 Guess what、 Right？、 You know、 Well、 All the best！等。
四、学亮点表达
使用形象生动的词汇可以使描述更加真实、有趣，并吸引读者的注意力。如课文第二段开头使用love一词，生动地表达了作者对新学校的喜爱之情；使用adapt well 和enjoy突出表达了对对方的殷切希望，以及多次使用“different”一词，形象地刻画出初、高中生活和学习的区别。
①We're looking forward to seeing you and ________________.
我们期待着见到你，希望你能享受这次旅行。
②____________________________________ about beauty.
不同的文化对美有不同的看法。

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。
There is a story from many years ago of a middle school teacher. Her name was Mrs Thompson. As she stood in front of the class on the very first day of school, she told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.
But that was impossible because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a boy named Teddy Stoddard.
Mrs Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that Teddy didn't show much interest in school and didn't play well with the other students. What was worse, it seemed that he cared about nothing.
One day as Teddy and Henry, one of his classmate, were going home after school, they saw two young people fighting in the street corner. Henry said excitedly, “Some people are fighting! Let's go and have a look！” But Teddy refused, “It's none of our business. We'd better go home and don't get close to them. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don't want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go，” said Henry angrily, and off he ran to the spot with some other boys. Teddy had to go home alone and didn't think about it anymore.
But Henry thought Teddy was a coward and told all the boys that. They laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Teddy and didn't want to play with him.
参考范文：
What happened next changed Mrs Thompson's and his classmates' attitude towards Teddy. A long distance race was held in the city. To our surprise, Teddy took part in it. That day, he ran as soon as possible, wishing to get the first place. However, he saw Henry in front of him crying because he hurt his left leg. Teddy stopped to help him.
At first, Teddy took his arm to see if he could walk forward with aid, but he couldn't. Then Teddy bent down to let Henry climb onto his back and carried him all the way to the finishing line. After that, Mrs Thompson paid particular attention to him. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the excellent children in the class.
[阅读拓展训练]
This morning it was harder for me to get out of bed than usual. Usually, I have nightmares because of the terrible movies I watched the night before, and sometimes spicy (辛辣的) food makes me feel uncomfortable in sleeping. However, last night I turned all night because my anxiety was at an all-time high. I kept thinking about what my first day of high school would be like. What should I wear What should I put in my schoolbag I finally fell asleep around 5：45 and my alarm started going off at 6：00.
I couldn't let those thoughts cloud my mind.I had to prepare myself for one of the most important days of my life. I packed my things and headed out of the door.My first class wasn't too bad.I listened to my English teacher discuss the importance of themes, but otherwise, it was a pretty easy-going class.
During lunchtime, I had a pizza and an orange soda. I'm grateful for the food not tasting terrible so I wouldn't keep thinking about that all day.I still didn't manage to find any new friends to sit with, but I'm just happy I found a quiet place to stay. It would have been uncomfortable if I had to sit in a noisy classroom to eat lunch, or an empty hallway with some kids walking past and laughing.
Once the last bell rang, I was eager to get home and tell Charlie, my childhood friend how my day went at a new school. I was just excited to speak to a familiar voice and share my feelings of the whole day.I wondered how his day went at his new school as well.

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。
There is a story from many years ago of a middle school teacher. Her name was Mrs Thompson. As she stood in front of the class on the very first day of school, she told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.
But that was impossible because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a boy named Teddy Stoddard.
Mrs Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that Teddy didn't show much interest in school and didn't play well with the other students. What was worse, it seemed that he cared about nothing.
One day as Teddy and Henry, one of his classmate, were going home after school, they saw two young people fighting in the street corner. Henry said excitedly, “Some people are fighting! Let's go and have a look！” But Teddy refused, “It's none of our business. We'd better go home and don't get close to them. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don't want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go，” said Henry angrily, and off he ran to the spot with some other boys. Teddy had to go home alone and didn't think about it anymore.
But Henry thought Teddy was a coward and told all the boys that. They laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Teddy and didn't want to play with him.
注意：1.续写词数应为80左右；
2．请按如下情节脉络续写：改变态度→Teddy参加长跑比赛→Henry受伤→Teddy背着他到终点→赢得关注→Teddy取得进步。
What happened next changed Mrs Thompson's and his classmates' attitude towards Teddy.

This morning it was harder for me to get out of bed than usual. Usually, I have nightmares because of the terrible movies I watched the night before, and sometimes spicy (辛辣的) food makes me feel uncomfortable in sleeping. However, last night I turned all night because my anxiety was at an all time high. I kept thinking about what my first day of high school would be like. What should I wear What should I put in my schoolbag I finally fell asleep around 5：45 and my alarm started going off at 6：00.
I couldn't let those thoughts cloud my mind.I had to prepare myself for one of the most important days of my life. I packed my things and headed out of the door.My first class wasn't too bad.I listened to my English teacher discuss the importance of themes, but otherwise, it was a pretty easy going class.
During lunchtime, I had a pizza and an orange soda. I'm grateful for the food not tasting terrible so I wouldn't keep thinking about that all day.I still didn't manage to find any new friends to sit with, but I'm just happy I found a quiet place to stay. It would have been uncomfortable if I had to sit in a noisy classroom to eat lunch, or an empty hallway with some kids walking past and laughing.
Once the last bell rang, I was eager to get home and tell Charlie, my childhood friend how my day went at a new school. I was just excited to speak to a familiar voice and share my feelings of the whole day.I wondered how his day went at his new school as well. I got on the same train line that I took to school and headed back home.
Speaking to Charlie on the phone, I found out he made many new friends today.Once I got off the phone, I threw myself on the bed with a long sigh (叹气). Although I'd experience this again tomorrow, I'm glad I got through my first day at school.

Dear Chris，
Hearing from your letter and learning that you couldn't adapt to your senior high life, I feel so sorry and really understand you. Here is my advice.
First of all, communicating with your teachers and classmates is really of great importance. It will be beneficial for you to adjust to the new environment and life. Besides, you should allocate your time reasonably. For example, do some exercise and have a rest regularly. In addition, you should take part in some school activities actively through which you can make more friends in senior high.

What happened next changed Mrs Thompson's and his classmates' attitude towards Teddy. A long distance race was held in the city. To our surprise, Teddy took part in it. That day, he ran as soon as possible, wishing to get the first place. However, he saw Henry in front of him crying because he hurt his left leg. Teddy stopped to help him. At first, Teddy took his arm to see if he could walk forward with aid, but he couldn't. Then Teddy bent down to let Henry climb onto his back and carried him all the way to the finishing line. After that, Mrs Thompson paid particular attention to him. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the excellent children in the class.
