18、qual. Nelson Mandela devoted all his life to realize this dream. In 1944, he founded the ANC Youth League to call on people to struggle for their rights to vote. In 1952, he opened a law office to help the poor black people in Johannesburg on their problems. The black people loved him.In 1962, Mande

21、dent,I am writing to ask you to free Nelson Mandela. Here are some reasons why I think he should be free.First, it is natural for Mr. Mandela to encourage violence against anti-black law. At that time, there were a lot of laws stopping the blacks rights and progress. The black people reached a stage

22、 where they had almost no rights at all. Black people had no vote and could not choose who ruled them. The parts of town where they were sent to live were decided by white people. They could not get jobs they wanted. The places where they were sent to live were the poorest areas in South Africa. No

23、one could grow food there. As a matter of fact, black people did not like violence. But they knew it was to realize their dream of making black and white people equal.Second, although Mr. Mandela was one of the leaders who called on black people to blow up some government buildings, he had no choice

24、 but to do that. He said they broke the law in a way which was peaceful. Only when this was not allowed did they decide to answer violence with violence.Finally, it is not a good way of solving the problem to put Mr. Mandela in prison. When Mr. Mandela is in prison, there is a lot of violence. There

25、fore, you should free him and then have a discussion with him about the future of South Africa in an equal way.Yours sincerely,Wang GangStep 5 Summary1.

About 10 minutes later, ask them to share their ideas with the class by reading their letters aloud. Correct the writings together in the end.Sample writing:Dear se

29、nior organizers,I am writing to ask you to give the Nobel Peace Prize to Mother Teresa. Here are some reasons why I think she should be given the prize. Mother Teresa was born in Yugoslavia, on August 27, 1910. When she was 20 years old, she went to India, where she began to be a teacher. After the

30、training, she was sent to Calcutta, where she taught geography at a school and soon after she became headmistress.However, although she loved teaching, in 1946 Mother Teresa left the school and was trained to become a nurse in Patna, and then began her work helping the poor and comforting the dying
