该板块的活动主题是“写你的节日经历”( Write about your festival experience从活动标题可知,该板块延续了前一板块的话题,但语言输出形式的要求有所不同。听说板块( Listening and Talking)：要求学生就各自的过节经历进行口头交流,写作板块的最终目的是要将交流的内容转化为文字,完成一篇有关节日经历的文章。一般来说,人们大多会在日记、博客日志或旅行攻略中介绍自己独特的节日经历,因此该板块选取了一篇关于“那达慕大会”的日记供学生阅读和模仿写作。通过阅读和学习这篇日记,学生不仅能够了解我国蒙古族“那达慕大会”这一传统节日,还能从文中感受到蒙古族人民的性格特色、娱乐精神及其浓厚的文化氛围,这也有助于培养学生的文化意识,让学生学会欣赏和珍惜多姿多彩的民族文化。
