[00:12.97]Section 1 Before You Read
[00:15.75]PAIRWORK
[00:17.56]1a How many different kinds of letters
[00:20.95]can you think of?

[00:37.50]Learning strategy¹:
[00:39.48]USING PARTS OF SPEECH
[00:42.20]If you don't understand a word or phrase² in
[00:44.96]English,ask yourself what part of speech it is.
[00:49.30]It might be a noun,a verb³ or a preposition⁴,
[00:53.32]for example. Knowing what it is can help you
[00:57.06]understand better.
[00:58.86]And it allows you to use the new English word
[01:02.53]or phrase correctly in the future.
[01:07.19]I'll send you a photo of Lucky.
[01:10.55]Dear Miss Li,
[01:12.46]I'd like to thank you for sending money to
[01:15.21]"Animal Helpers⁵",
[01:16.31]an organization set up to help disabled people.
[01:20.86]You see,you have helped make it possible for
[01:23.62]me to have "Lucky",
[01:24.97]who has filled my life with pleasure.
[01:27.58]Let me tell you my story.
[01:30.15]Being blind,deaf,unable to walk or use your
[01:34.14]hands easily is something that most people
[01:37.62]cannot imagine.
[01:39.37]But there are many people who face these
[01:41.82]challenges,and I am one of them.
[01:44.91]Because I can't use my arms or legs well,
[01:48.32]normal things like answering the telephone,
[01:51.61]opening and shutting doors or carrying things
[01:55.18]have always been difficult for me.
[01:58.14]Then one day last year,a friend of mine said
[02:01.60]that she would like to help me out.
[02:04.39]She said she would talk to "Animal Helpers"
[02:07.29]to see if it would be possible for me to get a
[02:10.02]specially trained dog.
[02:12.58]She also thought a dog might cheer me up.
[02:16.07]I told her that I love animals and that I'd love
[02:19.39]to have a dog.
[02:21.84]After six months of training with a dog at
[02:24.26]"Animal Helpers",I was able to bring him home.
[02:28.67]My dog's name is "Lucky"-a good name for him
[02:32.15]because I feel very lucky to have him.
[02:35.22]You see,I'm only able to have a "dog-helper"
[02:38.69]because of your kind donation⁶!
[02:42.41]How does Lucky help me,you might ask?
[02:45.22]Well,he has been trained to understand different
[02:48.43]instructions.
[02:49.87]For example,I say,"Lucky!Fetch my book,"
[02:53.90]and he does it at once.
[02:56.52]He is very clever and understands many English
[02:59.69]words,even some difficult ones like "upstairs".
[03:04.62]Lucky is an amazing dog.I'll send you a photo of
[03:09.07]him if you like,
[03:10.14]and I could show you how he helps me too me day.
[03:13.84]And so I thank you again for supporting
[03:16.54]"Animal Helpers".
[03:18.24]It is very important that this organization does
[03:21.13]not run out of money.
[03:23.43]Your donation is greatly appreciated and the
[03:26.48]money is well used to help disabled people like
[03:29.58]me.
[03:31.06]Best wishes,Liz Smith
[03:34.99]Section 3 After You Read
[03:38.45]3a Find one example of each part of speech 
[03:43.09]in the reading.
[03:45.09]3b Find three examples of phrasal verbs⁷
[03:49.47]from the reading.
[03:51.52]Use them to make sentences of your own.
[03:54.92]3c Use information in the letter to make true
[03:59.51]sentences by matching the different parts.
[04:03.47]Section 4 Go For It!
[04:06.02]Write a short reply to Liz Smith.In your letter:
[04:09.88]1.Offer to help her more.
[04:12.69]2.Say why you are able to help.
[04:16.96]3.Say what you could do to help.
