师：hello boys and girls.
生：hello Jenny.
师：Today we are going to learn Unit 3, "Could you please clean your room" section B writing. Nowadays, parents often complain to me that children don't do chores at home. Is that true? I want to do a survey. Do you often do chores at home?
生：Yes.
师：What kind of chores do you often do at home?
生：I often sweep the floor.
师：Okay, you often sweep the floor at home. And what about you? Do you often do chores? Why don't you do any chores?
生：Because I think doing chores is a waste of time.
师：Okay, she thinks doing chores is a waste of time. And what about you? Do you often do chores?
生：Yes, yes.
师：What kind of chores do you often help with?
生：I help my parents fold my clothes.
师：Hmm, fold the clothes. May I get some please? And what about you? Do you often do chores?
生：No, um, because I'm too busy with my homework.
师：Okay, because you have too much homework, you are busy with your homework. And do you think children should do chores at home? Yes or no. If you think children should do chores at home, please come to Group 1 and Group 2. But if you disagree, please come to Group 3 and Group 4. Now please find your seat as quickly as you can. Okay, you have two sides: agree and disagree. And why do you think children should do chores at home? And why don't you think children should do chores at home? Please discuss in groups. 4 students in a group and discuss the reasons why you think children should do chores at home and why not. You will have 3 minutes to discuss and you can write your reasons on this piece of paper. Now let's discuss. Let's go.
师：And what about your ideas? Okay, and you can send more pieces. And what about, and relax okay. You can think more reasons and write them down. Now what about your reasons?
生：Hmm, because we are a part of our family and, hmm okay and I think doing chores can help kids practice more.
师：Hmm, can help kids practice more. Okay, we can see more ideas. And what about your ideas?
生：Um, uh, doing chores can make our parents happy. Any more ideas? And doing chores can teach us how to do things afterwards.
师：Okay, now what about your ideas?
生：I don't know how to. Do you have anything to add?
生：We need time to relax. We need time to relax. And part of the reason is children are under too much pressure, but they have no time to do chores, to do housework. It's a busy time anyway. Children will know how to choose. They can't manage my life anyway. What about you?
生：Hmm, haven't, don't have, don't have any time to do chores.
师：Okay, time's up. Now, this side, why do you think children should do chores at home? Now which group wants to show me your reasons? Okay, now please.
生：Reason 1: doing chores helps to develop children's independence. Reason 2: doing chores helps us learn to look after ourselves. Hmm, then Reason 3: doing chores helps us learn some life skills.
师：Very good reasons. Any more reasons to add now please?
生：Reason 1: doing chores can make our parents happy. Reason 2: doing chores can let us know the idea of fairness. Hmm, good. Reason 3: doing chores can relax ourselves.
师：Hmm, I agree with you. Very good. Any more reasons?
生：Okay, lovely boy. Reason 1: we should share some chores because we are the members of families. Hmm, Reason 2: doing chores can improve our practical abilities of skills. Hmm.
师：Very good, very good reasons. And do you agree with them?
生：No. What about your reasons? Who would like to show me your reasons? Okay, now please.
生：Reason 1: doing chores is a waste of time. Reason 2: children don't know how to do chores. Reason 3: kids are under too much pressure, they need time to relax.
师：Hmm, very reasonable. Thank you. Any more reasons?
生：No. Please, the girl.
生：Reason 1: doing chores can even be dangerous. Reason 2: kids aren't good at doing chores. Reason 3: doing chores makes kids tired and they don't want to do anything after doing.
师：Okay, doing chores sometimes can be dangerous and children can't do chores well. Very good reasons. Anymore now please?
生：Reason 1: it's parents' duty to provide a clean home for us. Reason 2: kids are too busy with their homework, they have no time to do chores now. Reason 3: it's children's job to study hard, there is no need for them to do chores now.
师：Okay, now it's children's job to study hard, there's no need for them to do chores now. I think both of your sides did a very good job. And I believe all of you have your opinions and reasons, right? Yes. And remember in the last class, our parents wrote a letter to Sunday Mail to show their opinions on this. And would you like to write a letter to show your opinion?
生：Yes, yes.
师：And how can we write it? I will give you some secrets. The first secret is to state your opinion and reasons. As for me, I am a parent, so I think kids should share some chores. This is my opinion. Or if some of you may say "I don't agree with you", then what can I do?
生：Give some reasons.
师：Yes, great. I can give some reasons. I think kids should do chores because doing chores can make parents happy. This is my first reason. And doing chores can teach kids some life skills. This is my second reason. And doing chores can make kids smarter. This is the third reason. But some of you may still disagree with me. Then what should I do? Maybe I can give more reasons or some examples to explain this. Yes. Now to support the first reason I would say like this: nowadays parents are very busy all day. If kids can help with some simple chores, they will be very pleased. This is the first supporting reason. And as for the second reason, I gave an example. For example, kids can learn how to cook. And when kids leave their parents, they know how to cook for themselves. This is a supporting example. And as for the last reason, I would say like this: when kids do chores, they use their hands and mind to explain why doing chores can make kids smarter. This is the third supporting reason. So finally I can state my opinion once again: kids should share some chores. This is my conclusion. Now look at the structure of this. What does it look like?
生：Hamburger.
师：Yes, it looks like a hamburger. So the next secret of writing is the hamburger structure. It's very helpful in your opinion writing. Why is that? Let us think about a hamburger. It's made up of the top bread, bottom bread and middle part. Yes. If you want to make your hamburgers more delicious, you can also add some sauce, ah, some sauce, some tomato sauce. It's the same with our passage. Look, the topic sentence is like the top bread of a hamburger. So in this part what should we write? Who knows?
生：Your opinion.
师：Yes, very good. Ah, I should write my opinion, show my opinion and introduce the readers to the topic of the passage. Then what should I write?
生：Then what should I write? Okay, please. My reasons.
师：Yes, you should write the reasons. I can write some reasons to support my opinion and tell why I think so. They are like the cheese, lettuce and meat of a hamburger. And we know if we want the hamburgers much more delicious, we need to add some sauce. Now what's the sauce? Who knows?
生：Examples and supporting reasons.
师：Very good. Ah, I can add some supporting reasons and examples to make the main reasons much stronger. And please remember, the supporting reasons and examples must be interesting or "delicious". And the last part, what's the part together?
