Ход урока:

1.     Орг. момент.

Hello, my friends. I’m glad to see you. I hope you are fine and ready to work. I wish you good luck.

So, first I would like you to look at the screen. What can you see there? (Letters)

Who wrote them? To whom? Why do you think they wrote the letters? Read them through and say what kind of letters they are. Choose the correct answer. You are right they are letters asking for advice. So today, we are going to speak about letters of advice. We are going to learn how to write such letters and in the end of the lesson, you will present one to the class.

2.     Brainstorming.

Now let’s have a closer look at these letters and find out what problems these teenagers have.

Stuart – peer pressure.

David – bad marks at school

Sarah – not happy with her appearance

Karen – needs more money.

Now match the problems to the solutions and possible results.

Each team chooses one problem and works out suitable solutions to it.

3.     Theory.

Letters of advice are usually informal in style and are written to express sympathy and encouragement. Let’s put the parts of the plan into the correct order.

I.                   Introduction. (opening remarks\reason for writing)

II.                Main body (your advice + possible results)

III.             closing remarks (encouragement)

Yours,

…

Put the sentences into two groups “closing remarks” and “opening remarks”.

Decide which beginning is the most appropriate:

-Dear Stuart

- Dear friend

- Dear Friend Stuart

Decide which ending is the most appropriate:

-         Yours + your first name

-         Yours faithfully + your first name

-         Yours sincerely + your first name

4.     Reading

Now put the parts of the letter into the correct order. Read the letter and decide to whom it is written to. Right it is written to Sarah. What advice is given to her? What words can we use to give advice? And which ones help us to explain possible results?

Use these words to give advice to the other three teenagers.

5.     Writing

Now it is time for you to write your own letter of advice. Work in groups.

Dear _________,

I’m so sorry to know you have such a problem. Here are a few things you could try.

                                                                                                                          First of all,________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________This way_____________________________________________________________________________Another good idea is to_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________If you do this you will__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I hope that everything turns all right. Let me know how it gets.

___________,

Dear…,

I just got your letter and of course I’d be glad to help you. A lot of teenagers feel the same way as you and there’s nothing wrong with it. Here are some things you can do to help yourself feel better.

First of all, you shouldn’t worry too much about your weight. Your body changes a lot at your age because you are growing. It might be a good idea for you to start doing some exercise. This way, you’ll keep fit and healthy and help your body grow in the best way possible.

Another good idea is to try to follow a healthy diet. By eating healthy, you will lose weight and provide your skin with the necessary vitamins to look healthy and bright.

I hope my advice helps and everything turns out for the best.

Let me know how it goes.

Claire.
