■写作项目——Write an Invitation Letter
本单元的写作项目是写一封邀请信。邀请信是邀请收信人参加某项活动的书信，其基本要素有：称谓，正文(发出邀请，活动的时间、地点以及邀请的理由等)，结尾(再次诚邀)，落款。时态通常以一般现在时或一般将来时为主，人称通常以第一人称为主。
由课文学写作要点
一、学写作范式
(一)课文范式提炼
(二)写作要点指津
英文邀请信分为两种。一种是请柬，这是一种正式的邀请信，格式严谨而固定，一般适用于较庄重严肃的场合。另一种是普通的邀请信，适用于一些平常事情的邀请，通常邀请人和被邀请人之间比较熟悉，这种邀请信具有简短、热情的特点。
写作时要注意以下几点：
1．活动名称及目的
写明邀请对方参加什么活动，以及邀请的原因和目的等。
2．活动细节及注意事项
诸如时间、地点、参加人员、人数、需要做些什么样的准备以及需要穿着什么样的服饰等。
二、学逻辑组材
1．开头简单明了
本文开头使用“I am writing on behalf of the school's Student Union.”介绍邀请信的发出单位，随后介绍了比赛的时间；“I am writing to ask ...”点明写信的目的，体现邀请信的基本特点。
2．有效衔接过渡
本文第二、三段按照时间顺序叙述初赛及进入决赛的情况，条理分明。如第二段首先使用Since March说明初赛的进展情况，而后使用Now说明目前决赛选手的情况。第三段使用During the final round说明在决赛中对评委的要求，而后使用Then继续陈述细节。
3．恰当结尾点题
本文最后一段表达了作者期望Mr Jenson接受邀请，再次呼应开头。
三、学靓丽表达
1．Would you have time to attend a short meeting at the Student Union Room at 4 pm on 8 May so that we can introduce you to the other judges and discuss the details We would not take up too much of your time.
赏析：第一句中使用了“Would you have time ...”这一句式提出委婉的请求，第二句中使用了would，语气也比较委婉。在邀请函中对于被邀请人语气要委婉。
2．I sincerely hope you can come. If you have any questions, please do let me know.
赏析：第一句中使用了sincerely，表示作者的诚挚邀请；第二句中使用了do表示强调，比用be sure to简洁，且表达了作者的强烈愿望。
[仿写训练] (完成句子)
①______________________ the film with me if you're available
如果你有空，你愿意和我一起去看电影吗？
②I ____________________________________ and accept my apologies.
我真诚地希望你能原谅我并接受我的道歉。

Honesty Won't Let You Down
Asad was a 13 year old boy who was very honest and hard working. Recently, he had entered a new school, so he had no friends yet. On Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin's wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn't get up on time as usual.
At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing.
Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, among them was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very arrogant boy who thought everyone else was a loser. But as Asad was new, he didn't know much about Fahad.
When he went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch, Fahad laughed a lot and said, “I knew you were a loser, maybe a beggar.” Fahad laughed out so loud that other kids also heard it and made fun of the situation. He didn't answer Fahad, and slowly walked back towards an empty bench.
When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it was Fahad's, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and telling them that his uncle had bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid.
注意：1.续写词数应为80左右；
2．请根据“捡钱包——内心挣扎——决定归还——还钱包——收到感谢——吃午饭”情节脉络描写Asad对于是否还钱包的心理活动以及他还钱时Fahad的动作和心情。
At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punish Fahad.

At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punished Fahad. However, another voice urged him to give it back to Fahad, which made him feel torn. “I should never keep the wallet at the cost of my honesty，” Asad convinced himself. He caught Fahad up, and returned it to Fahad. Taking over the wallet, Fahad said, “Why are you giving it back？” Calmly and patiently, Asad explained, “I had originally wanted to keep it secret as a punishment for your arrogance, but being honest matters more to me.” Hearing what Asad had said, Fahad felt ashamed and apologised to Asad, and treated him to lunch.(共76张PPT)

Ⅰ.阅读理解
The older I get, the more I understand how my teachers have transformed my life.
On a recent Sunday afternoon, I went to see Mr C at Roxbury Park in Beverly Hills. His love of life has not dimmed despite the fact that his legs no longer work like they used to. He visited some of his former students while he was in town. At Beverly Hills High School, Mr C taught ancient history, coached football and golf, and risked his life teaching driver's training on Saturday mornings from 1964 to 1988. The gray and hobbled students lined up one after another to thank their favorite teacher. One called him a rock star. Another was grateful for helping him when he couldn't say so. It was a beautiful tribute, especially in these times of catastrophic teacher shortages.
Spending that Sunday in the park with Mr C was nothing short of magic. It was a reminder of all that is promising and possible in public education, including a teacher whose rare emotional honesty could be appreciated and honored decades later. It also brought to mind Maya Angelou's saying “People will forget what you said and did, but never forget how you make them feel.” He made me and others in the park feel heard and seen.
Mr C changed my perception of myself. Rather than seeing myself as a loser cheerleader who couldn't compete with the smart kids, I realized how much I loved learning. His history class was so interesting. In his classes about the Persians, Greeks, and Romans, extra credits can be earned for creativity. During earthquake drills, we counted on Mr C to scream his head off in pretended terror.
It should come as little surprise that I'd value the role of teachers in my life. Both of my parents taught. So did my siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins. I, too, have become a teacher and I try to follow in Mr C's footsteps. Some days, I fantasize what it would be like to go on a teacher tour, reaching out to my professor to express my deep gratitude for all they've given me, seeing Mr C sparked that fantasy again. When I finally worked up my courage to thank him, knowing a floodgate of tears would open, he said to me with his typical modesty, “You were doing me more good than I was doing you.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。随着年龄的增长，作者越来越明白老师是如何改变了自己的人生，C先生就是其中的一位。
1．What does the underlined word “tribute” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Enthusiasm. B．Admiration.
C．Devotion. D．Commitment.
√
解析：词义猜测题。根据前文“The gray and hobbled ... he couldn't say so.”可知，此处是在说C先生的学生们对他的感激，可推知学生在向C先生表达敬意。故画线词与B项“admiration(敬佩)”意思相近。

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jack was a bright and curious child, always eager to learn new things and explore the mysterious world about science. However, he often found himself in disagreement with his mother. His mother was always busy with her work and she didn't have enough time to learn about his interests and passions.
One day, Jack came home from school feeling particularly excited. He just found a sci-fi book about an adventure on the moon. Upon arriving at home, he couldn't tear himself away from the book. He read and read until it was dark. Having finished reading it, he couldn't wait to share it with his mother, only to be told that he should focus on more practical subjects like math and history, which would help him get into a good college and have a successful career.
Jack couldn't understand why his mother didn't see the value in what he was doing. He felt that she was holding him back and not allowing him to pursue his true interests. “Why can't you see how important this is to me？” Jack asked his mother angrily. “I'm never going to be happy if I have to spend my life doing things that I show no interest in just because they are practical or make you proud.”
The once peaceful home was filled with tension and anger. His mother's voice grew louder as she shouted, “You can't just do whatever you want! You should be responsible for your future！” Jack, fueled by his own frustration, shot back, “I am tired of you always telling me what to do! I am not a child anymore! You only care about your own feeling! You never thought about my feeling！” They were so caught up in their own anger and hurt that they failed to see how their words and actions were affecting each other.

Jack rushed into his bedroom and locked the door heavily. He lay on the bed, huddling himself in the quilt. What he really wanted to do was to cut himself off from the whole world, especially from his mother. He couldn't figure out why his mother didn't understand him and why she forced him to do something he didn't like. Slowly, he fell asleep while thinking.Suddenly he was awakened, hearing his mother's voice outside the door, which was filled with apologies and tenderness. His mother promised him that she would respect his interests in the future.
When Jack heard his mother's words, regretful tears rolled down his face. He realized that everything his mother did was totally for the sake of his future and what he said hurt his mother's heart hard. It occurred to him that he had never showed his gratitude to his mother. He couldn't wait to open the door and said thank you to his mother, who was standing in the doorway. He also promised his mother that he would study hard in practical subjects. Finally, misunderstanding cleared, they hugged each other tightly with a joyful smile.UNIT 1 课时检测(八) Writing Workshop

The older I get, the more I understand how my teachers have transformed my life.
On a recent Sunday afternoon, I went to see Mr C at Roxbury Park in Beverly Hills. His love of life has not dimmed despite the fact that his legs no longer work like they used to. He visited some of his former students while he was in town. At Beverly Hills High School, Mr C taught ancient history, coached football and golf, and risked his life teaching driver's training on Saturday mornings from 1964 to 1988. The gray and hobbled students lined up one after another to thank their favorite teacher. One called him a rock star. Another was grateful for helping him when he couldn't say so. It was a beautiful tribute,_especially in these times of catastrophic teacher shortages.
Spending that Sunday in the park with Mr C was nothing short of magic. It was a reminder of all that is promising and possible in public education, including a teacher whose rare emotional honesty could be appreciated and honored decades later. It also brought to mind Maya Angelou's saying “People will forget what you said and did, but never forget how you make them feel.” He made me and others in the park feel heard and seen.
Mr C changed my perception of myself. Rather than seeing myself as a loser cheerleader who couldn't compete with the smart kids, I realized how much I loved learning. His history class was so interesting. In his classes about the Persians, Greeks, and Romans, extra credits can be earned for creativity. During earthquake drills, we counted on Mr C to scream his head off in pretended terror.
It should come as little surprise that I'd value the role of teachers in my life. Both of my parents taught. So did my siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins. I, too, have become a teacher and I try to follow in Mr C's footsteps. Some days, I fantasize what it would be like to go on a teacher tour, reaching out to my professor to express my deep gratitude for all they've given me, seeing Mr C sparked that fantasy again. When I finally worked up my courage to thank him, knowing a floodgate of tears would open, he said to me with his typical modesty, “You were doing me more good than I was doing you.”
1．What does the underlined word “tribute” in Paragraph 2 mean

2．Why does the author mention Maya Angelou's saying

D．To interpret the influence of education.

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。随着年龄的增长，作者越来越明白老师是如何改变了自己的人生，C先生就是其中的一位。
1．选B 词义猜测题。根据前文“The gray and hobbled ... he couldn't say so.”可知，此处是在说C先生的学生们对他的感激，可推知学生在向C先生表达敬意。故画线词与B项“admiration(敬佩)”意思相近。

3．选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It should come as little surprise ... follow in Mr C's footsteps.”可知，作者很重视老师在自己生命中的作用，并试图追随C先生的脚步，由此推知作者对于自己作为教师的工作是感到愉快的。
