Paragraph 3: (2)
3. Writing
 Answers
In my opinion, it is import to have a day to celebrate
for our parents.
The first reason for this is that, on these occasion,
children will have a special day to express their feelings,
memories and great love for their parents. We have an

opportunity to enhance family traditions. Besides, members
of families can have a chance to get together, to know one
another and to help one another.
I think first Sunday of April is the most suitable day
to celebrate because Sunday is a day off so everybody is free
from work or study. Moreover, April is in late spring or early
summer, and then weather is generally fine at this time of the
year, many activities can happen outdoor.
independently to write a letter to a friend as
instructed.

friend.
- Call on some Ss to read their writing aloud.
- Comment and give suggested answers if
necessary.
4. Post – writing
" Peer correction"
T: Ask Ss to work with a friend, exchange
their writings and correct for each other.
Ss are asked to recognize their friend's
mistakes in the writing and offer the
suggested corrections.
T: Pick up some typical writing to correct in
front of class.
It is not necessary to have parties but it’s good idea to
have a family gathering when members have lunch or dinner
together. Children should give their parents flowers, send
them cards, or bring them a special cake. Children also
should serve their parents the food that they like best.
In conclusion, I believe the idea will be supported and

the day will be celebrated nationwide because everybody
loves their parents and wants their parents to be happy.

Sentences need to be completed:
2. Presentation 1
T: Tell Ss how to identify a relative clause compare:
"The word crowded in the first sentence is an
adjective, which are crowded" is a clause (it has a
finite verb: are). The clause is doing exactly the
same work as the adjective: it is describing the
holiday resorts. So we can call it an adverbial clause,
or (more usually) a relative clause because it
"relative" to the noun in this case by means of the
word "which" relative clause can describe persons,
things and events. The appropriate relative pronouns
are "who", "which" and "when".
There are 2 kinds of relative clause in written
language.
Relative clause without comas are called "defining"
or "identifying clauses" they provide essential
information about the subject or object.
Eg: what kind of book with be popular?
The book which contains pictures.
Relative clause with comas are called "now –

defining clauses" they provide additional
information, which are be omitted/ removed.
