Reading
1．Introduce Alice to the students. 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 the architect who is to design the new Bankstown cinema.(See Student's Book Page 8)
2．Skim the reading passage A Letter to an Architect to find out what suggestions Alice gives in the letter.
(1)There should be adequate access for wheelchairs.
(2)It would help to fit sets of earphones to all seats，not just to some of them. (3)The seats at the back should be placed higher than those at the front.
(4)For disabled customers，it would be more convenient to place the toilets near the entrance to the cinema.
(5)There are usually spaces specially reserved for disabled and elderly drivers.

3．Careful reading—Help students to analyse the letter so that they will learn how to write a letter of suggestion.
Ask students to read the text carefully and discuss the questions in groups in Exercise 3 on Page 8.
1．What is the purpose of the first paragraph of the letter?
2．Why do you think the writer numbered her suggestions and used italics? 3．What is the purpose of the last paragraph of the letter? 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 writer's suggestions.
Discussion
Discuss in groups and work together to write a format of a suggestion letter. Suggested answers：
A 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 greeting
The greeting always ends with a comma. The greeting should be formal，beginning with the word “dear”．
3．The body
Also 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.
