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

陈婉欣

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

简评：每个人都有朋友。初中学生由于生活圈子的狭小，谈论的话题也很有限。在这篇习作中，小作者和笔友聊天的范围集中在上学的方式、花费的时间以及学校和家之间距离的描述，这是本单元的3个重点句型——How，How far, How long提问的句型。最后，小作者还用形象的语言告诉我们她在乘车时的感受，锻炼了运用语言交际的能力。
