But its far from typical. At 20,000 feet, its the highest mountain in Africa, and one of only two to bear permanent snow (Mount Kenya is the other). Moreover, it is the largest mountain in the world that is free-standing; i.e., not part of a mountain range. To scale Mount Kilimanjaro is the ambition of many visitors to Africa. Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, now attracts many thousands of walkers each year.Step ListeningT: Do you think it easy to climb Kilimanjaro?Ss: Of course not.T: It is not easy to climb it.

Ask students to discuss what problems that people with disabilities sometimes have in a cinema. Divide students into different groups. They are given several minutes to discuss. Each member is encouraged to think actively and participate in the discussion. Make sure all students have their own opinions.After the discussion.T: Now please stop discussing. Alice is a warm-hearted girl. She cares for the disabled very much. When she learned a new cinema is going to be built, she wrote a letter to make suggestions. Here is the letter that gives suggestions to an architect who is to design the new Bankstown cinema. Lets find out what suggestions Alice gives.SkimmingStudents can find the answers quickly, because they are printed in the pink color. Careful readingHelp students to analyze the letter so that they will learn how to write a letter of suggestion.T: Now please read the text carefully and think about the questions in Ex3on Page 8.After students read the text carefully, they will discuss the questions in Ex3 in groups. Several minutes later, check the answers with the whole class.Suggested answers:1. To tell the reader the purpose of the letter.2. The writer has used numbers and a title in italics for each paragraph to organize the ideas and to make it easier for the reader to understand and remember the five suggestions.3. To finish the letter in a polite way and to put forward some reasons why the architect should consider the writers suggestions.T: After you read Alices suggestion letter, do you know how to write a letter of suggestion? Please discuss in groups. Then we will work together to write a format of a suggestion letter.After the discussion, show the following on the PowerPoint or print it out.A letter of suggestionA letter of suggestion normally has five parts. 1. The heading This includes the address, line by line, with the last line being the date. Skip a line after the heading. 2. The greetingThe greeting always ends with a comma. The greeting should be formal, beginning with the word “dear”.3. The bodyAlso known as the main text. Generally speaking, the body includes three parts. The first part (usually the first paragraph) tells the receiver that you are writing this letter to make suggestions on something, and the main part tells clearly what your suggestions are. The last part (usually the last paragraph) asks the receiver to consider your suggestions. Dont forget to encourage the receiver to take your suggestions. Skipping a line between paragraphs, especially in typed or printed copy, also helps the reader.4. The complimentary closeThis short expression is always a few words on a single line. The complimentary close begins with a capital letter and ends with a comma. 5. The signature lineType or print your name. The handwritten signature goes above this line and below the close. The signature line and the handwritten signature are indented to the same column as the close. The signature should be written in blue or black ink. Skip from one to three spaces (two on a typewriter), and type in the signature line the printed name of the person signing the letter. Sign the name in the space between the close and the signature line, starting at the left edge of the signature line.Step PracticeDeal with Ex 4-6 on Page 9.Ask students to work in groups and discuss how accessible their community is for people with disabilities. Then discuss ways in which their community could be made more accessible for disabled people. This discussion will lay a good foundation for the writing. After the discussion, students are asked to write a letter of suggestion to the architect of a new building to be constructed in their area. In the letter they will suggest ways to make it more accessible for people with disabilities. While writing the letter, they should pay attention to the format of a letter. If time is limited in class, they can finish the letter out of class. Step HomeworkWrite a letter of suggestion to the architect.A sample letter Dear Mr Smith,I read in the newspaper that you are the architect who is to design the new supermarket in our suburb. I am writing to ask if you have considered the matter of easy use of the supermarket by people in wheelchairs. In particular, I wonder if you have considered the following things:1. Width of aisles. Can you please make sure that the aisles are wide enough to allow wheelchairs to pass through? In some supermarkets the aisles are so narrow that a person in a wheelchair cannot move along them easily.2. Height of shelves. Can you please design shelves that can be reached by people in wheelchairs? In some supermarkets people in wheelchairs have to ask other shoopers to help them. This takes away their independence.3. Lifts to other floors. Lifts could be in a places that people in wheelchairs can get to easily. It is very difficult if lifts are right at the back of the shop and people have to go up and down the shelves before they get to it.4. Car parks. I hope you will leave some car spaces close to the front of the shop for people in wheelchairs. It is very difficult if they have to park a long way away from the shop and wheel themselves over tough ground to the entrance.Thank you for reading my letter. I hope you will consider my suggestions. Disabled people should have the same opportunities as able-bodied people to shop independently and they should be able to do so with dignity. I am sure many people will admire your supermarket if you design it with good access for disabled people. The supermarket owners will also be happy as more people will be able to shop there.Yours sincerely, 111
