案例2.议论（观点-论据 ）Should friends be the same or different?-A surveyJeff Green: My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror. Im quieter and more serious than most kids. Thats why I like reading books and I study harder in class. My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too, so we enjoy studying together. Im shy so its not easy for me to make friends. But I think friends are like books-you dont need a lot of them as long as they are good.Huang Lei: Its not necessary to be the same. My best friend Larry is quite different from me. He is taller and more outgoing than me. We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins. However, Larry often helps to bring out the best in me. So Im getting better at tennis. Larry is much less hard-working, though. I always get better grades than he does, so maybe I should help him more.Mary Smith: I dont really care if my friends are the same as me or different. My favorite saying is, “A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.” My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny. In fact, shes funnier than anyone I know. I broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better. We can talk about and share everything. I know she cares about me because shes always there to listen.单元语言学习目标：谈论人物个性,对比不同人物的个性特征（形容词的比较句型）篇章结构特点：阅读文本来自一份调查“Should friends be the same or different?” 当中的三个被调查对象。三段文字并列而且内部结构基本一致-亮出观点，然后给出论据。篇章语言特点：语言丰富而且原汁原味，出现了比较的各种表达方法，用到了比喻句，谚语；逻辑思维要求：1）读懂不同个体择友态度，读出人物个性，读出句子的言外之意2) 正确理解并使用比较等级-a. 两个事物是否有可比性 b. 搞清比较的范围1.
