●寫作訓練建議
多利用workbook。其中，在73課練習3完成對話後，可讓學生用第一人稱將自己飲食習慣寫下來。
另外，76課練習8，寫回信也是很好的寫作訓練。可將學生分成四人的小組。讓學生們在小組內部仔細閱讀Robert的來信，分析它所提出的問題都包含幾方面。回信該如何回答?還可寫些什麼?四人可適當分工：兩人收集課文中的句子，兩人起草回信。然後認真閱讀課文，從本單元中找出回信可用的句子並整理出來，備用。小組集體完成一份回信，作為作業交給老師。最後，教師可設一定的獎勵。
參考答案
Dear Robert,
I’m glad to receive your letter and I know you want to come to China. You talk about Chinese food in your letter. Do you know Chinese food tastes the most delicious in the world? We cook something in many different ways. We can stir-fry, fry, steam, boil, smoke and so on.
We have eggs and milk for breakfast, have rice with vegetables, meat and fish for lunch, noodles and dumplings for supper. Chinese food not only tastes good but also has good nutrition. Sometimes we go to McDonald and Kentucky Fried Chicken. But I don’t like them very much.
For drink, we often drink vegetable and fruit juice, mineral water, and all kinds of milk. Coke and sprite are children’s favourite drink. But I like Chinese tea best.
We have a lot of traditional food and home cooking dishes here, for example: Beijing roasted duck, instant boiled mutton, sweet and sour fish, home-style bean-curd and so on. Now we like home cooked food better than take-away food. Beijingers like bean curd, very much, too. If you come to China, I』ll show you around the city and you can taste these foods one by one if you aren’t afraid to get fat.
Best wishes
Yours
Zhang Fan

點評：本文符合英語書信回信的基本格式，作者能夠依據來信中提出的問題去組織語言材料，並且表達比較清楚，行文也比較連貫，對於初一學生來說，本文寫得不錯的。不足的是存在下列幾處語法錯誤：
(1)此處應用形容詞性物主代詞your，作定語修飾名詞letter。
(2)let後接動詞原形，應將句中的to去掉。
(3)meat是不可數名詞，其後不能加s。
(4)come是不及物動詞，當它與名詞連用時，名詞前應用介詞to。
提示：大家在回信時，首先要注意英語回信的基本格式(可參照來信的格式)，然後在回信中答覆來信中所問到的所有問題，並注意表達要清楚，行文要連貫，要儘量使用自己最熟悉、最有把握的詞(組)、句型，做到揚長避短。
本單元重難點知識講解
重點單詞及短語
food, drink, rice, eat, something, many, only, a glass of water
1.something是代詞，作「某物;某事」講，例如：I want something to drink. something一般用在陳述句的肯定句中，在否定句和疑問句中用anything.但如果表示客氣的請求時要用something而不用anything.例如：Is there anything wrong with the bike? Would you like something to eat
2.many作形容詞用，意思是「許多的;多的」。它後面跟可數名詞的複數形式
