First，students check their answers with their partners.

Second，ask some students to read out their compositions and ask other students to correct the wrong sentences.

At last，the teacher checks the answers.（Show the answers on the screen）

Possible answers to MODEL A：

Dear Johann，

I must say that I agree with you.If you find the Amber Room，it should belong to you because the search has cost you a lot of time and money. Even if I lost something，I wouldn’t expect that I could find it again. Once I lost a watch.I decided not to look for it. People need to understand that something that you lost can’t come back again.Your letter helps me to remember that people need to be careful with what they own. Then they won’t need to worry about losing them. So you see，Johann，I got two rewards：one I could use and one I could keep in my heart.

Yours，

Hu Xiaomin

Possible answers to MODEL B

Dear Johann：

I must say that I don’t agree with you.Though you find the Amber Room， it doesn’t mean it belongs to you.If you can find out whom it belongs to，you should return it. I’m sure you would want someone to thank you. Once I found a beautiful watch. I wanted to return it. Then I remembered seeing one just like it in a shop. I went to the shop and found the owner to whom it belonged.The owner was very happy to get it back and gave me some delicious apples.So you see，Johann，I got two rewards：one I could eat and one I could keep in my heart.

Yours，

Hu Xiaomin
