师：Good afternoon everyone. Please thank Teddy and ask him to come and sit. Well, well, look at me, boys and girls. You seem a little nervous, don't you? There's no need to be. Take it easy, okay? Let's start by playing a guessing game. Look, celebrations on December 31st with fireworks. So, what is it?
生：Happy New Year!
师：Good. Speaking of Happy New Year, can you tell me how you usually celebrate it?
生：I usually have a big dinner with my family.
师：Having a big dinner with the family is a nice choice. Anyone else?
生：I usually hold a party with my friends.
师：Hold a party. Thank you. And you?
生：I usually sing and dance with my friends.
师：So you must like singing and dancing, right? As for me, I usually celebrate by throwing a party and inviting many of my friends. For this year's party, would you like to come?
生：Yeah, okay.
师：Welcome. But first of all, please think about what we can do at the party. What activities can we do? Maybe we can...
生：We can talk with our friends happily.
师：Excellent. We can talk with our friends happily. Any other ideas?
生：We can play games together.
师：Play games together, such as card games, right? Any other ideas?
生：We can have a big dinner with our friends.
师：Everybody likes eating food, right? So do I. We've come up with many different activities we can do, and there are also many ways to describe them. Look, boys and girls, for example, look at picture one. Can you describe it using “it must be fun to...” Can you think?
生：It must be fun to play games with our friends.
师：Thank you. And then your turn. Big hands for the boy. Repeat: it must be fun to play games with friends. Excellent. How about picture two? Oh, sorry, something's wrong with it. How about picture two? Can you describe picture two using “doing...”?
生：Having a big dinner with family is the best way to celebrate the New Year.
师：Excellent. And you?
生：Having a big dinner is the best way to celebrate the New Year.
师：And you?
生：Having a big dinner is the best way to celebrate the New Year. Wonderful. Then how about picture three?
生：To celebrate the New Year, we may also sing and dance.
师：Good idea. Pass the microphone.
生：To celebrate the New Year, we may also sing and dance.
师：To celebrate the New Year, we may also sing and dance. How about using “to do...to relax ourselves”? Can you try?
生：To relax ourselves, we may also sing and dance.
师：Thank you. Then how about the last picture? Look at picture four. What are they doing?
生：They are talking.
师：So can you describe picture four using any structure you like from the previous ones or just make your own sentence?
生：Talking with our friends is the best way to celebrate the New Year.
师：I like your structure. Anybody else?
生：It must be fun to operate for person's happiness.
师：It must be fun. Then what about if we use “if...we will...” Look, how about this section?
生：If we talk with our friends, we will be happy.
师：If we talk with our friends, we will be happy. How about the boy beside you?
生：If we talk with our friends, we will be happy.
师：And then you go on.
生：If we talk with our friends, we will be happier than ever.
师：Thank you. That means our friendship will be stronger. What do you usually talk with your friends about?
生：Share our happiness and sadness.
师：So we can say if we share our happiness and sadness with friends, then our friendship will be stronger. Good. So you see, different activities can be described differently. Let's repeat them together, loud and fast. One, two: it must be fun to play games together. The best way to celebrate the New Year is to relax ourselves. We may also... If we share happiness and sadness at the party, our problems will be solved. So we've come up with so many activities for the party. But if I want to invite everyone to come to my party, how can I let them know? What should I do?
生：You can call them.
师：I can call them by making a phone call, right? Thank you. Calling them is a good, quick, and convenient way, but I don't like it personally. I want a better and more beautiful way. Can anybody suggest?
生：You can make an invitation.
师：Exactly. Making an invitation is the best choice for me because it's beautiful. But I don't know how to write an invitation. Do you know?
生：I will write the word, time, population..., prepare, and ending.
师：You are so knowledgeable. Thank you, boy. Actually, here is a sample for you. Please read it aloud by yourself and try to find out the key information. Answer me freely. All right, finish reading. From the sample, first of all, you need to show to whom and who you are, right? Then in paragraph one, what information can you find from the invitation?
生：We can find the time and place. Because we will hold it on December 31st, in room 204.
师：The time and place. Anything else? Why do we need to hold the party?
生：We also can find the reasons. As the New Year is coming, so let's have a New Year party.
师：Good. So in part one, we have the reason, time, and place for the party, right? Thank you. Sit down. How about paragraph two? What information can I find?
生：I can find activities.
师：Activities. How do you know?
生：At the party, we can do a lot of things.
师：How wonderful you are. Yes, activities. But by the way, what activities are there in the example?
生：We could sing and dance together to enjoy ourselves.
师：Sing and dance to enjoy ourselves. Moreover, playing games is a good idea to make the party more fun, right? Anything else?
生：We can share our happiness and sadness.
师：Excellent. Big hands for you. Anything else in this part?
生：Preparation.
师：So in paragraph two, we have the activities and preparations for the party. What about the last paragraph? Tell me together.
生：Tell me by Friday. That means we need to reply to you.
师：Yes, this is the reply time. How about the last sentence?
生：I'm looking forward to hearing from you all.
师：So this is the ending. And in the last paragraph, we have the reply time and the ending. So you see, boys and girls, to make an invitation letter, we need information including the reason, time, place, activities, preparations, reply time, and the ending. However, it's not enough. Do you know why? Because we need to add more details to make the writing better and more wonderful. What do we need? Please look at the sample again. Can we find some details? For example, can anybody tell me what person is used in the sample?
生：I, we, you.
师：Good. And what about tense?
生：It's coming. We will hold it. We can do a lot of things.
师：Very wonderful. Thanks to her. Sit down. But everybody, please pay attention to these words. For example, “moreover”, “besides”, “if”. So what are they?
生：Linking words.
师：Linking words. Louder. Linking words. You know linking words are important, but why are they important? Why do we need them?
生：Because it can make my writing better and logical.
师：Logical. So that means if you use linking words, your writing may seem more reasonable, right? Girl, will you use linking words in your letter - writing?
生：Yes.
师：Are you sure?
生：Yes.
师：Don't lie to me. Okay, let's make a promise. One, two, three. So a promise is completed. And I will check the writing. Thank you, girl. Sit down. And the last one, look at these sentence structures “can you”, “could you”. What do they remind us of?
