Step Ⅰ Revision
Check up the homework. Let the Ss show their written work on the screen.
T: Now let’s check up the homework. I’ll ask some of you to show your written work on the screen.
A sample version:
Dear Rob Marshall,
How are you doing? I thought I’d like to tell you about our summer vacation and the Chinese school system.
Extensive cooperation has been established with many famous schools abroad such as America, England, and Australia in our school. In summer holidays of every year many foreign teachers come to our school holding “modern holiday’s English village”. They teach us spoken English with various teaching methods. The summer camp not only improves our ability of using language, but also promotes our friendship with foreigners. We have made friends with them and keep in touch with each other constantly.
I’d like to give you introduction about Chinese education system. China has a Compulsory Education Law, which calls for each child to receive nine-year formal education. To meet this requirement, a child will attend five-year elementary education followed by three-year Junior Middle school. Today in China, the first system, “5-4”, is virtually nonexistent; the second system, “6-3”, is far more common.
I’d like to talk about primary school. Primary education includes preschool and elementary education. Preschool or kindergarten, can last up to three years, with children entering as early as age three, until age six, when they enter elementary school. The academic year is divided into two semesters. In China, children begin to go to school at the age of six or seven; it takes them six years to finish primary school. During the stage, they are taught the elementary knowledge in language and science, for example, mathematics, basic Chinese, English, nature, music, gym, drawing and so on.
Now, I’d like to mention of Junior Middle school. After primary school, the students will go to Junior Middle school without having to pass the exam. Education at this level is compulsory; Junior Middle school education lasts for three years. The students study many subjects, for example, Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry, geography, history and so on. When Junior Middle school education comes to an end, the students are screened by exam in two ways. Some students expect to enter college, so enter Senior Middle school. The others want to work, they attend professional school. For Senior Middle school students, it takes them three years. For professional school students, it takes them two to three years.
Best wishes,
Li Kang

Step Ⅳ Consolidation
Ask the Ss to talk freely about their after-school activities in their Junior Middle schools.
T: Now, let’s have a free talk about the after-school activities of your former Junior Middle schools. Volunteers?
S1: Sports are a traditional program in our school. The most familiar and easiest examples must be running, especially long-distance running. Because of the distance and the number of participants, it’s a good way of testing students’ endurance and patience, especially their mental tenacity. No matter how frustrated they feel during the process, the people who reach the finishing line are heroes to themselves.
S2: Students can match their interests to various clubs in our school. If your voice is good, you can join a singing club, and show your talent in a singing contest. If you’re interested in acting, the drama club is the best choice. Plays can reveal your acting potential, and win you applause from the audience. Of course, the main purpose of going to school is studying. Although real life is not as colorful as films, school still gives us many unforgettable memories.
S3: A variety of teams are offered for both boys and girls in our school. Sports teams are popular such as football, basketball and baseball teams. In addition, one may find tennis, gymnastics, swimming, golf, volleyball and track and field teams.
S4: Other important activities in our middle school are the club meetings, music or drama rehearsals, and sport practice sessions that take place in the afternoon after classes. These meetings are a very important part of middle school life, since they are a link between different groups of students. Students who usually would not meet in the classroom get to know each other in areas of common interest. They give the Ss the opportunity to further their specific interests in various fields and to spend their free time together.
S5: There are school teams in my school, which compete with other schools and which have very intensive training, and intramural teams, which play with other teams within the school itself. In our school, there is a great deal of competitions the students who join the school teams. There are schools regulations that make it difficult for the new students to join in. On the intramural teams most students are welcome to participate.
Step Ⅴ Homework
Ask the Ss to write a composition about their own after-school activities.
