This is the seventh teaching period of this unit. The teacher can first check the homework and review what they learned in the last lesson.
The emphasis of this period is laid on developing the students’ writing ability. First summarize the brainstorming way of preparing oneself before writing, let the students know how to make a brainstorming map, and then ask them to make one on the topic question:How can learning English help China in the future? This is one of the best ways for students to prepare what they want to say before they begin to write.
Making a poster is also very useful for students to collect ideas and sentences before writing. Make one on China’s Future Lies in Learning English.
After the two steps above, the teacher can let the students write a short passage titled “Should we learn English? ” According to the brainstorming map on the top of Page 15 and the poster they makes in Step 4, they can decide the structure of the passage should be as follows:State your points of view; show the supporting reasons; get a conclusion. Then, show students some connecting words which can help them to join the sentences and paragraphs. They will write a good passage.

Sample passage:
Should we learn English?
Many people all over the world speak English as their second language. It is not too much to say that it has become an international language. So I strongly think we should learn English.
Firstly, learning English can make life fun. It enables you to watch American movies, read English books and listen to English songs. Moreover, as English is an international language, you will be able to communicate with foreigners when you are on a trip abroad. Traveling will be more interesting that way.
Secondly, it is a good idea to make friends with foreigners. In my opinion, it is the best way to improve your English. In addition, it will be fun and it will expand your view of the world. If you make friends with a native speaker, you can practice your spoken English more often and then you can communicate with people around the world. You can also become familiar with the customs and habits of different cultures.
However, there are some people who are afraid to make friends with foreigners because they are not confident of their English. However, many foreigners do not care about grammar. They will get your key words in the sentence and figure out the whole meanings. Therefore, it is unnecessary to be afraid to make friends with them; just go ahead!
Learning English helps us meet different people and learn more about their culture, thus facilitating mutual understanding and harmony. Briefly said, English is so useful to us that we should all learn it.
