An E-mail to your pen pal to introduce your school route

陳婉欣

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your last e-mail. Now let me tell you how I get to school，too. Well，my home is not far from the school. Its two kilometers. I usually leave my home at a quarter to seven and walk to the bus stop. Then I take the bus to the school. Sometimes it takes me about ten minutes to get there by bus. The bus ride is never boring，because I always talk to my friends. Its good exercise.

Im glad to be your friends.

Amy

簡評：每個人都有朋友。初中學生由于生活圈子的狹小，談論的話題也很有限。在這篇習作中，小作者和筆友聊天的范圍集中在上學的方式、花費的時間以及學校和家之間距離的描述，這是本單元的3個重點句型——How，How far, How long提問的句型。最后，小作者還用形象的語言告訴我們她在乘車時的感受，鍛煉了運用語言交際的能力。
