Hello, you guys. And how are you? Welcome to my class. Please open your books and turn to page 18. Are you ready? Let's get started.
Today, we are going to talk about how to write a personal email. In this class, you will learn about the language, style, and structure of a personal email. You will also learn to make some comments on peer work. Now, let's start our lesson with some messages from WeChat between the foreign teachers and me. Let's read some of them together. Please follow me.
I want to ask, who's in charge of visa? I hear Snow is not taking care of foreign affairs. Yep, the new assistant is not appointed yet. Do you need any help now? I see.
My visa will expire in September. I haven't signed a new contract yet. I see. Do you have King's WeChat? Talk to him first, please. Alright, thanks. Do you understand? What do you think of the messages on the screen? Are they formal or informal? How do you know that? Please look here. There are many contractions such as "I'll", "I haven't". What are they short for? "I will", "I have not", "I would". Don't use contractions in your papers. It's not proper and will make you lose marks. Besides some words, what else do you find? Some emojis such as happy and sunny ones. What else? Some special punctuation besides full stop and comma? They are exclamation point and dash. Last but not least, some informal words and phrases are used in it. They are "yep", "wow", "alright", "you know", "I see", "even" and so on. You can look them up in your dictionary. And let me show some informal words in my dictionary for you.
This is what we are going to do in this class. Read by yourselves, please.
Now, let's play a game about your new school life. Can you think of a word to describe your school life? Can you make a sentence with this word to describe your new school life? You can write down your sentence and then let's share our new school life. I've got some words about new life. Let's read and put them into Chinese one by one. Conduct, sushi, encourage, review, ambition, arrangement, laughter.

Can you pick your favorite word and make a sentence with it? Let me show you my example. My favorite word is "challenging", and my sentence goes like this. I find learning English challenging.
Do you know why the words on the screen are in different colors? The words in red are all adjectives. The words in green are all nouns, and the words in blue are all verbs. Not only should we remember the meaning of a word, but also its part of speech when writing a composition.
