T:At Pi Chai Yuan I bought some postcards.(出示明信片)See, this is landing stage, right? OK. This is my special habit. When I go travelling, I usually buy some postcards and send them to my friends and relatives. Do you send postcards?(中止)Eh? Do you send postcards? (中止) Yes? OK. Have you received any postcards? Eh?(中止)Yes? Oh maybe some people say yes, some people say no. OK. I am a postcard collector actually. I have a lot of postcards received from all over the world. You see? (出示一叠明信片)OK. This is London Eye. Yes. In London of course. This is Eiffel Tower. Right? In Paris...
T:Here, (PPT 上闪现明信片的构成有些) this is the most important part in the middle, we write message here, we write something we want to share with our friends here, OK? Some messages are long, some messages are short. As a postcard collector, I like to read more as well as write more. Today, I want to share a postcard with you I wrote in Qingdao.
I wrote this postcard to Cindy. Cindy is my daughter’s name. OK, here we go...
T:Now suppose you are going to write your own postcard. You write to me, OK? So what should you do first?(中止)I suggest you write a mind map just like what I did on the blackboard. OK? (指向黑板上的思维导图)
Now you can find the blue paper on your desk. Yes. This is a mind map, OK?(中止、学生拿出思维导图) In the center, first step, we should choose a place to write about, right? OK. You can write about a place you have visited or you can write a place you want to go to visit. So think it over, which place you would like to write about. And then we should think about when you went there, how you got there, OK? And what...Yes what you...?
S:Do.
T:Yes. What you did there. And? And?
S:What do you feel.
T:How you felt. Thank you. You’ve got two minutes to make your own mind map.
T:Okay, but before you start writing, I’d like to tell you two more things. First, you are writing a postcard, a postcard cannot be too long. Okay? So you just write a short passage of about sixty words, no more than eighty, okay? Second, you are writing a postcard. A postcard is open to anybody. Anyone can read it. So you don’t write about some secret things, or personal things on your postcard. (轻声说)Don’t tell me who you love. (中止)Don’t tell me the password to your bank account. Okay?(学生笑)
T:But between A and B, this girl chose A. What about you? You choose A?
S1:I think it’s B.
T:Oh, yes you think it’s B, why?
S1:Because the “the crabs” is mentioned.
T:It’s kind of repetition right? You know repetition. OK, thank you. We don’t like to repeat, understand? If I say the crabs again, it’s kind of repetition. You know, in this situation, normally, we use a pronoun.(中止)For example, we can use “they” here to refer to? What does “they” refer to ?
T:Yes, landing stage. OK. Yes. I use “there” to refer to landing stage. Why? Because I don’t like to repeat, you know? I know nowadays some people say if something is really important, you’d better repeat it at least three times. But in such a short passage, we don’t like to repeat the same words and phrases again and again and again, OK? So we use referents, right? The referents can help us make a passage become more coherent.
