课件6张PPT。 Wb.P101.written work Do you agree with mums working? Today we had a discussion about working mums. The opinions were divided. Sixty-five percent of the students were for the idea of working mums. They stated the following arguments. First, mums have the right to work. Second, working mums not only bring in more money, but they can also feel proud of their success in work. Third, working mums are good for society.However, thirty-five percent of the students were against mums working. They argued that mums do not have to work outside the home. If they do, there will be no one around to do the housework, like cooking the meals or cleaning the house. It is too expensive to have a maid to do the work.
Personally, I think it is up to the mums to decide what they want to be : a working mum or a housewife.
P39.
Now more and more people are sending their children overseas for further study, even at middle school age. 38% of the people investigated agree to this. They think their children can receive better education and learn a foreign well. And they can make much money in the future. But over 62% of the people, especially some educationalists and parents, are not in favor of this, for they think Studying abroad costs over ten times as much money as studying in China. Besides, children are too young to take care of themselves. What’s more, they might follow bad examples. In my opinion, measures should be taken by the government to set up various schools and colleges to meet the needs of the people.P49. written work
Dear Tom,
I’m writing to tell you about the debate in my class, discussing whether students should wear school uniforms. Most of my classmates think that as students, they should wear school uniforms so that people can tell which school a student is from. Students, when in a school uniform, look very nice. Besides, wearing school uniforms can prevent students from wearing strange and expensive clothes.But there are still some students against wearing school uniforms. First, they think school uniforms are sometimes a little expensive. They will have to buy again when they grow out of them. And everyone looks the same when in uniform, which can only be used at school. Thirdly, some students may not want others to know from which school they are.
I think both sides are reasonable. But generally speaking, I think students should wear school uniforms. Therefore, I’d like to have your opinion.课件21张PPT。Growing painsWelcome to the unitBrainstormingDo you love your parents?Do you think you have showed respect to your parents?Have you ever quarreled with your parents?What is your quarrel about?Answer some questions:

What does a good advice columnist do?
get a rough idea about the troubleanalyze the trouble find out the roots of the troublegive proper suggestionskeep in regular contact with the sender feedback information
Step 2 Reading
1 Read the first letter and answer:
A Why does the father write the letter?B What does the father think about his son?
C What is the father worrying about?
2 Work in groups of 4 and find suggestions to the son.Try to be a docile kid at home no matter whether you are an outstanding student at school.
Never attempt to change your father’s character and to be an ideal father.Communicate with your father through letters if he happens to be short-tempered. Come up to your dad and tell him how much you care about him.Remember that it’s correct for a father to urge his son to study hard.Make your father believe you’ll be successful in life by doing what you like.
Read the second letter and answer:
a Why does the son write the letter?b What are his problems?c How does he feel about his father?
4 Work in groups of 4 and find suggestions to the father.
Try to look at things from your son’s angle. If you trade your role with your son, I believe you will realize some of the problems you mentioned in your letter are easy to solve. Remember what your son needs is more than material comfort. Prepare to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. Music are part of a young people’s life. You can’t stop him just because good communication will smooth the problems. Your son wants you to treat him as your equal while you act as a commander. That’s where all the problems come from. You’d better not put too much pressure on your son. Be a good motivator. Try to encourage him to find myself, to build up self-confidence. Cut out harsh remarks when your son falls short of your expectation.
Unconditional love is very important, because he is your son.

Dear Liu Wei,
Thanks for your attention to our magazine. After reading your letter, I know you are in trouble with your family. Don’t worry. I’d like to tell you something about myself when I was at the same age as you…Nowadays you meet the problems which are still the common in the modern society. Here I want to give you some advice: First, you must honor your parents, not shout at them. Second, maybe you can often talk to your parents to let them understand you. ….

Mr Zhu
