Moreover, if you have any problem, you can write to the editor and ask for advice. Now were going to read a letter to the editor of the 21st Century from a student. Well, before reading, first look at the teaching aims of this class. (write the teaching aims on the blackboard) Teaching aims: 1. Enable students to express their feelings and to help others. 2. Help students write a composition about a friend they know by giving some hints to the students. Step II Listening T: Now class, listen to the tape and answer one question: whats the problem with Xiaodong? (play the tape twice) S: Hes not very good at communicating with people, so he feels quite lonely sometimes. Now he doesnt know how to deal with it. Step Writing T: Good. Now suppose you are the editor and you should help Xiaodong out of this kind of situation. So now write a letter to him to give him some advice.

(twenty-five minutes later) T: Time is up. Who can read what you wrote just now to the others.
