导入：
T: Have you ever heard about “seven ancient wonders of the world”? Can you tell me some of them? Just in Chinese.
T: I think you’ve got a good knowledge of them. Among all of these wonders, which one is the most famous? Let’s watch a video together.
T: Do you want to know more about the Great Pyramid? Here is an introduction to it. Take out your work sheet, read it quickly. Just one minute.
活动：写作前
T: I have a question. If we want to describe something, what shall we mainly talk about?
T: Let’s see how to describe objects in size. To warm up, let’s have a guessing game. Try to guess the size of an object. I’ll give you an example. This is my mobile phone. It is 13cm long. (板书 centimeter)
T: Can you guess how wide it is? What about your desk? How high is…? How much does he weigh?
练习：写作中
T: Let’s review what we learned just now. When we talk about sizes, we usually use some adjectives. For example, if we want to describe the height, we use…? What about length and width? But these adjectives are usually used in spoken English. What shall we use in written English? Read the second paragraph again and try to find out the answers.(板书)
T: Which sentence tells us the length? What does the first sentence tell us? What about the last sentence?
T: Let’s try to describe the size of two famous wonders. Firs read after me. Now complete the following sentences. You have two minutes to prepare for it.
T: You’ve done a good job． Let’s come back to the first paragraph. What does the first sentence tell us? The second sentence gives us a brief introduction to the Great Pyramid． Let’s make sentences like this. I gave you some information about our school. Try to write at least two sentences. I’ll give you one minute.
T: Well done. Look at the third paragraph, what else do we need to describe a wonder?
T: We should also write about its building time. Can you rewrite the sentence with spend? What about take? （板书）
练习：写作
T: Just now, we learned how to describe a wonder. I’ll give you one more example. Right. If you want to introduce a wonder, you can write like this. The whole class, please read the model together.
T: As we all know, there are quite a lot of wonders in Shanghai and in China． The followings are two of them. Where have I been? What is the tallest building of the three?
T: Here are more details about Shanghai Tower and the Great Wall. Each group please choose one topic, then write a short passage about it. Try to use the word cues below. I’ll give you seven minutes. You can discuss with your group members first.
T: Let’s share some of your passages.
T: I’m so proud of you. If you want to make your passage better, you should add a beginning sentence or an ending sentence. Here are some useful phrases. Please take notes on your work sheet. You may use them later. In today’s class, we learned how to describe wonders.
