Subject: My family routines

Hi Dong,

How are you getting on? In your last email asked me about my family routines. Well, we have
quite a few routines to help us learn life skills and build family bonds, but I'll tell you about three
main ones. you

First, my family always have dinner together. Dinners are important for us since we share our
daily experiences and talk about the latest news. Second, we watch our favourite game show on
TV together every Friday evening. We discuss the questions and guess the answers. It's great fun
every time we get a correct answer. Third, every two weeks, on Saturday we clean the house
together. We make a list of all the chores. Each of us then chooses one or two household tasks
according to personal choice. We all feel happy and proud when we see our home spotlessly
clean at the end of the day.

Do you have similar family routines? I'd be interested to know about your family. Please write
back soon.
Best,
Joey

+ A paragraph usually consists of three parts: a topic sentence, supporting sentences and a
concluding sentence.
+ Two important qualities of a good paragraph are unity (i.e. one main idea is developed)

Suggested answer:
First, my family always have breakfast together. Breakfast is a quick meal with just bread or
noodles because both my parents work and we, kids, have morning classes. But the most
important thing is that we can sit do wn together, eat healthy food, and share our plans for the
day. Second, we spend Saturday evenings as a family. We often watch a film, share snacks, and
then exchange our opinions after the film. I can even argue and defend my ideas about the film
with my parents or brother. Third, on the second Sunday of the month, we visit our grandparents.
We come to my grandparents’ home quite early in the morning to help them do some housework
such as cleaning the house or washing clothes. Then, we have a big lunch with them. My parents
are very happy when we come to see them. The visits make me feel closer to my grandparents

T asked Ss to return their partner’s writing and lets them correct themselves.
Sample answer: Another option would be to plant more trees. For example, we can plant
additional green trees surrounding the school and in the yard. Trees lower CO₂ emissions and
improve air quality. Finally, we can set up more garbage cans. For example, we can place one bin
in each classroom and a few more across the schoolyard. This makes rubbish collection easier.

ICQ:
-Do you work in groups or in pairs?
-What topic you write the ideas?
