寫作項目——Writing a letter to express ideas
本單元的寫作任務是寫一封信，針對中國春節走向世界這一現象談談自己的看法，屬于采用書信形式的現象分析型議論文。此類文章的寫作模式較為固定，一般是先介紹某種社會現象，然后深入分析這一現象產生的原因及影響，最后表達自己的看法或得出結論。
由教材學寫作
一、學文體架構
參照本課時Activity 6中的寫作指導，該類文體可按照以下模式展開：
二、學要點表達
描述某一現象時可參考課文第一段首句中的句式“Nowadays, more and more ... are holding ...”，其中more and more與進行時態是此類文體用來開門見山導入主題的常用表達。在表達個人觀點時可參考Activity 6中的Useful expressions，如In my opinion ..., For me ..., I think ...常用來引出個人看法。It's not only ..., but ...則有助于引出進一步的闡述。
三、學高級句式
第一段使用了not only ... but的倒裝句，在平衡句子結構的同時也使上下文銜接更順暢；第二段使用while連接的并列句描述了中國春節廣受歡迎的現象，同時，不定式短語To celebrate ...作目的狀語簡化了句式結構，讓表達更凝練。
四、學寫作手法
第二段在舉例說明中國春節正在走向世界這一現象時，作者列舉了90%, over 1,000等具體的數字。列數字這一寫作手法可以讓表達更準確，更具說服力。

Every festival has its different customs and unique charms. However, no matter how different they may seem, all over the world, the spirit of sharing joy, gratitude, love, or peace is common in all festivals.
節日是一個讓我們放松心情、享受生活、暫時忘卻工作的時刻。節日讓我們了解我們來自何方、我們是誰、我們應該感恩什么。每個節日都有它不同的風俗和獨特的魅力。然而，無論節日多么迥異，在世界各地，分享快樂、感恩、友愛或和平的精神存在于所有節日之中。

Traditional festivals are also a reminder of what it means to be Chinese, which are a source of national pride and help shape our national identity.
中國傳統節日是中華文化的重要組成部分，應該被妥善保護。推廣傳統節日對保持我們的文化和歷史的活力很重要。通過慶祝節日，我們可以將有關傳統的知識傳給下一代。 傳統節日也提醒我們，身為中國人意味著什么，它們是民族自豪感的來源，有助于塑造我們的民族認同感。

Having a dinner together is one important part of the gathering, which is usually prepared by family members together.At the gathering, we have a happy time.
Hope you can come to one of such gatherings some day!
Yours，
Li Hua
Ⅳ.讀后續寫
閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫一段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Thanksgiving is wherever Grandma goes.
Thanksgiving was two weeks away but I was already planning the menu. We always had dinner at my house. I could always count on my son Bruce and his family who lived just an hour away. I was going over
the grocery list again in my head when the phone rang. It was Bruce's wife, Elsa. She was calling to talk about Thanksgiving, but I couldn't believe what she was saying.
“What do you mean you're not coming？” I said. “Not coming on Thanksgiving？”
“We want you to be our guest this year，” Elsa said. “Eric will be home from college and Carlos is bringing his girlfriend. Of course Alex can't wait to see you. It'll be fun.”
I was shocked, confused, and most of all hurt. Thanksgiving was always at my house.
“It's too much work for you, Mom. You come down here and let us treat you，” Elsa said. “We'll eat around four o'clock.”
I always served dinner at 2：00.“Four's too late and we have to prepare leftovers for children，” I said. “You know I can't drive after dark.”
“You can spend the night with us and tell Bruce's stories to children.”
Obviously they didn't want any part of my Thanksgiving.“I just won't come，” I said, and hung up. I tried to distract myself with housework, but it was no use. All I could think about was that all the years I'd worked to make the perfect Thanksgiving for my family. That night Bruce called. He sounded almost as angry as I was.
“You're not being fair, Mom，” he said. “We want you here. You can help with the cooking. But it's time that we started some of our own traditions. Don't spoil it for all of us.”
Much as I hated to admit it, my son had a point. I'd started my own Thanksgiving traditions when I got married. I couldn't blame him for wanting to do the same. I agreed to go.But I told myself next year everyone would be at my house where they should be.
注意：1.詞數80左右；
2．要求邏輯通順，情節合理，重點描寫作者和家人共度感恩節的場景。
On Thanksgiving morning, with everything in my car，　
參考范文：
On Thanksgiving morning, with everything in my car, I started off to Bruce's house. At the house Elsa and Bruce came out of the kitchen full of the smell of baking, red-faced from a morning's work at the stove, and pulled me inside. Eric, Alex, Carlos greeted me warmly and Carlos introduced his girlfriend to me. Elsa and Bruce asked me to help in the kitchen. Then all three of us went out into the living room
where the kids were. They asked to hear stories about their dad when he was little. I gave the audience what they wanted.We had a happy time. It turns out that you don't need Grandmother's house for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is wherever Grandma goes.
[閱讀拓展訓練]
As a child growing up in a suburban town in the Northeast of the United States, the arrival of spring had little meaning for me.Sure, we had a weeklong spring vacation from school, but the key word there was vacation, not spring.
For the kids in my neighborhood, the arrival of spring was a non-event.There were two important seasons: winter, when we could go skating and sledding or build snow forts, and summer, when we could finally make proper use of the beach about 100 meter east of my family home.Spring and autumn were just technical details, weeks and weeks of waiting for the good times' return.
Admittedly, spring later developed its own attractions for me — “In the spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love”， as a famous poet noted — however, it was not spring itself, but the other stuff that got my attention.
In short, I never thought much at all about spring ...and then I arrived in China.I had been in Beijing for about three months when my first Spring Festival rolled around, and it could hardly be ignored.Aside from the random bursts of fireworks at any time day or night, what stood out most for me was that the capital seemed to be empty.
It was as though the crowds and streams of cars and trucks commonly seen in the capital had all gone into hiding.My puzzlement cleared up when I returned to work.My colleagues explained that Chinese traditionally travel, if necessary, to visit their families during the Spring Festival, and that many Beijingers were not natives of the capital.
I also got my first knowledge of something about the Spring Festival that never ceases to amaze me.Regardless of when the holiday is set to begin, there is an almost immediate and sudden change for the better in the weather.Spring really does arrive.
I can't begin to figure out how the ancient Chinese could create a system that would almost always accurately predict when the season would shift year after year.But they did.

Ⅳ.讀后續寫(參考范文)
　　On Thanksgiving morning, with everything in my car, I started off to Bruce’s house. At the house Elsa and Bruce came out of the kitchen full of the smell of baking, red faced from a morning’s work at the stove, and pulled me inside. Eric, Alex, Carlos greeted me warmly and Carlos introduced his girlfriend to me. Elsa and Bruce asked me to help in the kitchen. Then all three of us went out into the living room where the kids were. They asked to hear stories about their dad when he was little. I gave the audience what they wanted.We had a happy time. It turns out that you don’t need Grandmother’s house for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is wherever Grandma goes.
