Hi Mr Zhou
I hope that you are having a happy new year. My father has left for a business trip today and it’s raining cats and dogs. I’m now preparing for my new school year. It starts tomorrow, on 10th Feb. I have learnt that I will be in Class A. I will learn nine subjects including Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Geography. I haven’t got my textbooks yet. When I get them, I want to take a quick look at them, and I hope you would not mind answering my questiongs if I have any. You must be busy like a bee this term. I hope you will be successful and healthy in the coming year and stay cool forever.
Come on
二、课堂导学
1. Tell the students when we should use formal or informal languages:
When you speak or write, you can use formal or informal language. You use formal language with your teachers or unfamiliar people.
However, when you speak or write to your friends or parents, you can use informal language.
2. Q:1. What kind of person is-----
3. Learn more about “enough”. Let’s look at the following:
S+ V+ adj./adv.+ (for sb) enough (not) to do sth
S+V+ so+ adj./adv + that + 从句
S+V+ too+ adj./adv+( for sb) to do sth
注意：①当 adj./adv.+ enough to do sth 为肯定句时，可以改为 so+ adj./adv + that + 从句, 不可改为 too+ adj./adv+to do sth
②当 adj./adv.+ enough to do sth 为否定句时，可以改为 so+ adj./adv + that + 从句, 也可改为 too+ adj./adv+to do sth
③当句子的主语不是to do sth的逻辑主语时，用for sb放在to do sth的前面。
④当句子的主语同时又是to do sth的逻辑宾语时，宾语省略。如果to do sth中的do是不及物动词，则要加上适当的介词。
⑤too…to…也有③和④的特点，但so…that…没有这种用法。
4. Would：①用于委婉的陈述
②客气的请求 Would you please…
③委婉的建议
5. come up with 提出、提供
think of 想到、考虑、思索
完成下面练习
1. He is generous and helpful.(对划线部分进行提问)

（8）What do you think of David
2. Check the answers of the flow chart. Remind students that this kind of writing is often objective—some people may value one characteristic more highly than another. Encourage them to think for themselves by telling them that there are no right or wrong answers, only that they must have a justification for their choice of good characteristics. This may give them some extra confidence ahead of the Main task.
Step Two: (20)
1. Tell students to work on their own to fill in the blanks in part B. Remind them to use the flow chart on page 21 as a guide. Then discuss the answers in groups.

1. Ask students to write a formal letter of their own. Remind them to use the flow chart they created as a guide for the letter. Also remind them they can use the model and the useful sentences in their paper. Encourage them to add new and additional information if they can, and remind them that they can use synonyms of the adjectives in the letter.
