在甲班老师的要求是请同学们细心观察自己的教室，通过观察，以“My classroom”为题写一篇短文，用上There be句型，不少于五句话。同学们百般无奈，甚至抓耳挠腮，不过最终也差强人意的也出来了。“This is our classroom.There is a TV in my classroom .There is a blackboard in our classroom .There are some chairs and desks in it too. I like my classroom. ”……结果差强人意。
为了取得较好的学习效果老师吸取了教训，在乙班采用了另一个教学设计。
Free talk后老师提出“Let's play some games”
1、通过看图画“what's missing”训练了教室里的物品a big desk, a small desk, ,some beautiful flowers ,a bookcase ……
2、通过“I do you guess ”训练了动词短语draw a picture ,watch TV ,sing ,dance,read books ……
3、通过“Guessing What's in the pencil box?”训练了“there be”句型。
然后，老师出示卡通人物头像三毛，“Now Sanmao will come ,but he doesn't know our classroom.Do you want to tell him about it .”让同学们通过口述来介绍自己学习的环境。
最后，老师激趣“Do you want to.make friends with him.Please write a letter to Sanmao？”同学们兴趣盎然，就连平时头疼习作的同学也积极地投入写作中，查阅资料，讨论交流，佳作连篇，下面是同学们的习作
“Dear SanMao :
I'm Wangli. Welcome to our classroom.Now I'm telling you about my classroom.we clean it everyday.It's big and bright. There is a big TV in our classroom.We often watch TV.We like drawing,So there are some beautiful pictures on the wall.There are a lot of books in the bookcase, we can learn a lot from them…I love my classroom,Doyou like it?We’ll be good friends,I think.Write a letter to me ”
Best wishes
Wangli”
“Dear SanMao:
I have a big family,There are so many brothers and sisters in it.Look,There are some chairs and desks ;A lot of pictures on the wall,We usually watch TV in our family.We like reading,drawing,singing,playing games in it.I’m happy every day,I Iove my classroom my family,You must love it too.
Best wishes for you
Your friend:ShiXueying”
多么鲜明的对比，第一份习作只是用句型简单的介绍了教室里有什么，让人感受不到其他的东西，而第二份习作中beautiful,a lot of, big and bright等形容词的运用加上小作者“We often watch TV.We like drawing.I love my classroom,等能表达自己的真情实感语句，使我们感受到文章更加生动，教室也更加美丽。
