师：Class begins. Good morning, class.
生：Good morning, teacher.
师：Please be seated. Last period, we learned about Betty's holiday through an email from Betty Keen. Now, would you please answer some questions and recall what Betty talked about in this email? You can look at page 62 to find the answers. Is that clear? Let's start. When did Betty go for her holiday?
生：30th of May.
师：Right. Who did Betty go with?
生：Jenny.
师：Great. Where did Betty go for her holiday?
生：Paris.
师：Yes, Paris. Great. So the subject is “My Holiday in Paris”. What did she do in Paris? Look at the first two pictures. What did she do on the first day?
生：She played by the River Seine. Then they were tired, so they relaxed at home.
师：Good. Sit down, please. Next, on the second day, what did they do?
生：They visited the local museum. And unfortunately, then they had dinner in a French restaurant.
师：Great. Sit down. Next, on Sunday morning, what did they do?
生：They took a walk and did some shopping. She bought a present for her grandma.
师：Yes, she did. Great. Next, on Saturday afternoon?
生：They went to the Eiffel Tower.
师：Great. Last question, how did Betty like the holiday?
生：She enjoyed it.
师：So far, we've known the information from this email. Today, we will learn something new about this email. Now, it's discussion time. You'll work in groups and discuss four aspects of this email: structure, paragraphs, sentences, and tenses. Are you ready? First, let's focus on the structure. We've learned there are five elements in narrative mode. What are they?
生：(学生回答相关内容)
师：Great. Please find out where these elements are in Betty's email. Discuss in groups and use the definitions.
生：我觉得这里是点题，然后从珍妮开始到……是发展，然后最后一句是结尾，这里是定位。
师：Where is the event? Do you agree with her? Any other ideas?
生：嗯，我觉得这是剪辑，从……到巴黎这是定位，然后从珍妮一直到……是发展，然后……是结尾，评价是 “The food was delicious”。
师：Oh, yes. Great. Do you all have the same answers? Let's check. I think the topic is “My Holiday in Paris”. The first sentence tells us the people and the place. And this part, from Jenny to the River Seine, tells us the development of her experiences. The last sentence tells us the ending. And we can also see some comments, right? “The food was delicious”. Great writing tip for you: A clear structure is the basis. Next, let's focus on paragraphs. Can you answer my question? What's the order of the paragraphs? And why do you think so? Discuss in your groups.
生：就是每段里面都出现了一个时间，第一段有 “today before yesterday”，下一段有 “yesterday”，还有 “morning”。
师：Yes, great. So we can see different time words in different paragraphs. Another writing tip: Generally speaking, when we write a story or an experience, we usually organize paragraphs in time order. Next, let's focus on the sentences. Please read this paragraph carefully and tell me which sentences tell us the things she did and which sentences tell us the details. What are details? Details are about our five senses, like what we see, hear, smell, touch, and taste. Have a try and find out the answers.
生：去法国餐厅，去卢浮宫博物馆，这些是做的事情。细节有 “It has many famous works of art”，“The food was delicious”。
师：Fabulous. Look at the first sentence. It's about what Betty saw in the museum. And in the museum, we can also touch, but can we touch everything? When we visit the museum, pay attention to “no touching”. And we can also hear some information in the museum. The last sentence is from what Betty tasted and smelled. But how can we use the five senses to describe our experience? Here are some examples. Read and translate. “There are colorful flowers everywhere.”
