Teaching Tip:E-mail Structure
In order to prepare Ss for activity 3a,it may be helpful to review the parts of an e-mail with Ss.
Write on the board:
(1)To:_______@________.com
(2)Subject:
(3)Message:
(3a)salutation:Dear______,Hi________,etc.
(3b)Body:Thank you for your e-mail,etc.
(3c)Closing and signature:See you later!Tom
Remind Ss that if they are responding to an e-mail,they should usually write"Thank you for your e-mail"and then respond to the content of the previous e-mail.
Answers:

3Let's meet on..
1 Hi Mei Ling,...
The activity is to let Ss use the target language to write about themselves.
Teaching Tip: Interview Activity
The T may wish for Ss to do activity 3b as an interview activity using the following procedure:
1.Write on the board:
What is your first (second,etc.)subject?
What time is it at?
2.Have Ss work in pairs and exchange textbooks.
3.Have Ss interview each other using the questions on the board and fill in the answers in their partners' textbooks.
4.S1 (with textbook open)should interview S2(with textbook closed) and then change roles.
The activity is to let Ss use the target language to write about themselves.
Teaching Tip:Paragraphs and Indentation
It may be helpful to Ss to learn about paragraphs and indentation in an e-mail.The T can remind Ss to leave a space after the salutation and between different paragraphs and the signature.In most cases,the paragraphs of an e-mail are not indented.
Answers will vary.Sample Writing:

| | Step 3Exercise & Homework
| | Exercise
Ask Ss to do the exercises on PPT P15-P17.
Ask Ss to make a summary about what they learned today.
Homework
1. Remember the words, expressions and sentences in this unit.
2. Do the exercises in students’ book.
| | Teaching Reflection
| Students are still confused about the phrases: 1. great fun 2. have art / have an art lesson 3. on Friday/ Tuesday afternoon. And they can not use the sentence patterns well: we have … on …/ … is on … So I need to ask them to hand in their writings and I check and correct their mistakes one more time to see where exactly their problems are.
